I just woke up and the first thing I see is this. The only response I can formulate at this moment is what in the flying fuck are they doing.

[The KKM]

Is Angry Birds falling in popularity or something? What do they win with this?

[Conzuh]

Just when you thought this week couldn't get any weirder.

SEGA has partnered with Rovio to bring the Angry Birds to Sonic Dash.

Over the course of the next three weeks, players can unlock Red, Chuck and Bomb as playable characters for use within the endless runner by collecting special Angry Birds Epic tokens. Alternatively, the birds are available to purchase using a premium currency.

Once the birds are unlocked they're yours to keep forever, but you've only got three weeks from today to unlock them. Whether they're anything more than just skins, though, isn't particularly clear.

"Our EPIC Sonic collaboration together with SEGA is a fantastic milestone for Angry Birds," said Wilhelm Taht, Head of External Products at Rovio. "Having two such iconic game characters and games work seamlessly together will delight millions of fans worldwide in both Sonic Dash and Angry Birds Epic."

SEGA announced earlier this week that Sonic Dash had passed 100 million downloads.

SoJ exec 1: "It is time to do another Sonic thing. (long sigh)" He quickly wonders to himself how much longer he has on this earth before he's granted the sweet release of death. "What do the kids like nowadays?"

SoJ exec 2: "This "Anguree Birdu""

SoJ exec 1: "Okay good, have the intern make some calls. Let's go do lines at an American strip club."

Then they high five.

I had completely forgotten about this. Was one of my favorite episodes too

[Jen]

Um, what the hell?

First it was the Sonic Boom sequel and now its this. What is even happening at the minute? I feel like we're gonna wake up soon and find that this week has been some sort of bizarre dream =P

[GagaMan]

Wow how desperate...you'd think Rovio would have more dignity than this..

[Felik]

You know something is not epic if the creator has to put "epic" in the title

Also

Even angry birds titular bird is embarrassed by this crossover. Look at his face

I don't see an issue really, It's only a mobile game. Looks pretty funny actually.

I'm guessing though that this is why we haven't seen Runners in the UK, dash is still doing well so why confuse things with another Sonic endless runner? Seems logical to only push the one that's doing the best/making the most money.

Update is now live on iOS, and possibly Android. To start the event off, you have to collect 100 Red tokens over the next week to unlock Red Knight.

I played downloaded and played Dash for the first time in months today, got 11 tokens and deleted it from my phone again. Boring game, dumb campaign. It'll work for it's target audience though.

Seriously, Dash was more interesting when it first came out. It wasn't the best 3D endless runner, but it was alright. Now it's outclassed by virtually everything. I've been playing a lot of Lara Croft Relic Run. It's everything that Dash is, and so much more. Plus it doesn't have a crappy dubstep remix playing constantly in the background.
