Angry Birds Tournament Comes to Arlington

Angry Birds Game by V 2

Ok, I know Angry Birds is fun and all, but... this may be a step too far.  I'm sure many of you have heard of the Guitar Hero tournaments (all of which must have dried up recently, I haven't heard of any this year.  Drop a comment if you know where any are going down around DC).  But Angry Birds?  Doesn't seem like it leans itself heavily in the multiplayer tournament direction.  Then again, if you can have Pacman tournaments... or Super Mario Bros. tournaments(why did I link this, I just watched this whole scene, 10 minutes I'm not getting back)...  Hmm.  If you end up checking this out let me know, I'm really rather curious about it.

Anyhow, here's most of the details regarding the tournament.  Check it out.

If you thought Angry Birds was a game that one only plays alone while killing time on the Metro, think again. A local hotel is turning the popular puzzle video game into a full-fledged, multi-day tournament.

The new Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel in Crystal City (2800 S. Potomac Avenue) will be hosting “Angry Hours” — a weekly series of live Angry Bird tournaments — every Thursday from July 14 to Aug. 25.
