Certainly Rovio is milking the Angry Birds franchise for all it is worth – and with so many expansion packs released to date, they are not quite done with it just yet. Apart from theme parks that have an Angry Birds slant and tons of merchandise, Rovio intends to bring the bird slinging title to the world’s most popular social network, Facebook. Angry Birds for Facebook will be released this Valentine’s Day, and that means it will be accessible to over 850 million users – on paper, at least.

Just what does Angry Birds for Facebook bring to the table? We are looking at the standard Angry Birds kind of gameplay, but there will be new add-ons such as social components, the ability to compete for a new high score among your friends (I am quite sure that this feature alone would let all of those retired Angry Birds players to come out of their retirement), in addition to new power-ups that can help you clear a level with all three stars, when you get too frustrated as none of your avian friends seem to fly the path that you intended them to do.

You can even send gifts to your friends, which I believe would be in the same vein as that of sending Energy Bags to your mates in Tetris Battle. Some of the power ups are definitely novel ideas – want the perfect shot? The Sling Scope offers laser targeting for pinpoint precision. With King Sling, you can fling your birds with style and speed. Super Seeds work like McDonalds – they supersize your bird to wreck even more havoc. Last but not least, Birdquake does what it says – bringing pigs’ defenses crashing to the ground. Anyone stoked for the new Angry Birds for Facebook yet?

This is considered as the next generation of gaming chassis with high-performance cooling advantages and extensive expandability, all without breaking your bank account in the process and getting the other half upset at spending “frivolously” (that depends on whose point of view it is now, isn’t it?).

The Three Hundred Two enclosure is the latest addition to the Gaming Series family, and in order to keep up to the cool image, this sleek chassis comes in the traditional, no-nonsense black shade, and was specially designed to handle today’s and tomorrow’s high-performance systems without batting an eyelid. While gamers are the main market target, system integrators and casual builders are more than welcome to check out and see just what the Three Hundred Two is able to deliver.

The Three Hundred Two was specially built from ground up for maximum cooling effect, and this is made possible courtesy of its perforated front bezel, in addition to dual TwoCool fans, and four optional fans, not to mention the inclusion of a 120 mm CPU exhaust fan that is located right behind the motherboard, so that gamers are able to play long into the night without worrying of a meltdown, and I am quite sure that the fans themselves will be whisper quiet.

Want to expand your gaming rig to accommodate more hard drives and optical drives? Not a problem, as there are eight expansion slots in the Three Hundred Two, in addition to having enough space for up to three 12.5” (318 mm) graphics cards – making it compatible with even the largest GPUs out there. A removable, washable PSU and front intake air filters and a smart cable management system makes it easy for builders to use their new PC right away. Interested? It costs just $79.95 to bring home the Antec Three Hundred Two.

Aditya Ravi Shankar built the clone as part of his attempt to improve his coding skills, where he gave himself an entire month to do so, building the game in the browser while going through the original game’s files in order to get sprites, sounds and specs just the way it was. According to Shankar, “In hindsight, I might have wanted to take smaller steps and make a tower defense game instead of jumping directly into an RTS. Trying to do the whole thing in under a month all by myself wasn’t the smartest idea.”

Still, he got the job done, and there were some glitches here and there during testing, such as tanks getting stuck in the sea, and it works best in Chrome or Firefox. If you want to help improve Shankar’s work, check out the source code here.

When attached to the top of the game controller’s charge and play plug, you get the ideal device which allows every Hot Pockets lover to enjoy a tasty snack without skimping on their gaming time. Even better is, you need not stop the game, and neither are there dishes to wash up after you are done with your food. How about that? Hopefully you do not mind the crumbs and perhaps, a little bit of grease around your controller during the more frenzied moments of gaming while eating.
