However, as you know, we didn't stop at the plum pudding model, which is good, because it's a little goofy, so it's nice to move on from that and move on we did.
On my VC tour, I actually heard one legendary venture capitalist say that he found a company's name too proper, that it wasn't stupid and goofy enough for the Web.
Due in large part to the goofy, kindhearted hosting of its T-shirt-and-sneakers wearing museum president, Paul Hoffman, pretension and intimidation gave way to creativity and intoxication.
It's hard to say if Bad Piggies will recapture the success that Rovio found with Angry Birds proper, but all the hallmarks are there: quick, fun gameplay, colorful characters, goofy sounds, and accessibility (we couldn't help but get all three stars on every level, but you don't have to in order to proceed, should it prove too difficult).
