"Not yet Rose, I don't know, emm.maybe here I see," replied Iwan as he shook his head showing his ignorance about the video.

2 Days ago, at a local studio in America.
Banner pointed out that the studio was named the Stanford Game Channel when it entered the studio. Many people are waiting in line to rush to enter the studio because today there is an event attended by several game industry figures to analyze new games that are booming. Yes really! Stanford Game Channel held a show discussing the Flappy Bird game 'the New Hottest Game'.
The studio was filled with average viewers Flappy Bird players who were very enthusiastic to find out why the Flappy Bird game could go viral.

"Is this game really good quality? very simple game play and the graphics are very ugly. Why go viral?" asked one audience member to another audience
"Where do you confuse with the viral game? think about it, if it accumulates how long do you play this game in a day?," replied someone audience who how many behind it
"mmm.. At least 1 hour" replied the man who had asked
"Huh? if I was alone, these endings when I was bored and closed my eyes, which flashed in my mind only the silly bird was jumping - jump, jump, not long after I played that game again,"
Not long after the studio lights are turned off, a sign of the event that is expected to begin soon.
"Welcome to the Stanford Game Channel, Game Analysis, this time as your host Stanley McKing accompanied by 2 experts in the gaming industry, Senior Game Desaigner, this time as your host, Greg Lenister and Game Designer from Xbox Studio, Frank Zilora. Give an applause to our invited guests this time," said a young host greeting the audience at the studio. The studio was also applauded.
"This time, we will discuss the mobile game that is phenomenal this month, namely Flappy Bird, as a preliminary description I will show the statistics of this game taken from the iOS App Store," said host Stanley showed towards the big screen on stage. There are uphill charts with the numbers 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,000, and the last 2,000,000+
"Can be seen from the performance of this Flappy Bird game is very rare, only this time there is a game that is as phenomenal as this. In the first week it does not show an amazing number, but after the second week to date the graph shows the popularity of the game has increased rapidly. Let's discuss this phenomenal game with the two leading experts of the game. Senior Greg Lenister, what about your opinion on this popular Flappy Bird game?," asked Stanley host Greg Lenister to Senior Desaigner Game.
Greg Lenister is a man in his 50s, he has had a lot of experience as a team of game makers such as Space Disaster, Block Stack and many others. Senior Greg Lenister looked at the chart on the screen with a wry smile while shaking his head.
"Can this game be called a game?! if anyone were to say it, I would be the first to reject it!! If a game like this is considered a game, then every layman can make a game????," said senior Greg with great fanfare
"Can street artists singing songs be called pop stars?!,"
"Can a wall-dropper on the street be called an artist?!,"
"First of all, this game has no storyline. The usual way of playing - ordinary, the graphics are very simple and the controls are poor!! with this alone this game does not meet the criteria as a game," said senior Greg continued without caring about the response of the audience.
"Secondly, this game is a game that has no soul. Since this game relies on its players trying to beat each other's scores to improve your playing time, you could say this is a subtle coercion!," said Greg
"For the statistics you see on the screen, no matter the number of downloads or playtime, it doesn't make sense!! wh why? That's because this game only relies on the luck factor to increase its popularity!," said senior Greg in a denouncing tone
"Therefore all, as I said before, I am very critical of games that rely on coercion and luck!!," said senior Greg completed his analysis of the Flappy Bird game.
Then senior Greg returned to his seat and let out a long sigh while shaking his head feeling emotional while conveying his analysis.
After the end of the analysis from Greg's senior, the entire studio was suddenly noisy with the sound of the audience's whisper - a sneer was heard confirming Greg's senior opinion.
Seeing the atmosphere that was out of control, the host Stanley took a microphone and immediately acted.
"Thank you to our senior, Greg Lenister. Let's continue by asking Xbox Studio's Game Desaigner analyst Frank Zilora. What do you think of Flappy Bird? do you agree with Greg's senior opinion?" said the host trying to control the show to a more interesting topic
Frank Zilora is a man in his 30s, quite young as a game designer. But he has proven his skills by being one of the famous game-making teams such as the fallout series and the elder scroll series. Frank Zilora glanced slightly towards Greg Lenister and host Stanley also stared at the audience around.
"About this game, actually I have a very much different opinion than the opinion of senior Greg," said Frank made everyone in the studio speechless shocked.
Senior Greg who was in the guest star seat was focused on Frank waiting for what Frank Zilora would say next.
"The Flappy Bird Game.. Before I paid attention to the stats on this screen, I gave it a value of 8 out of 10, but after looking at the stats that this graph showed me, my assessment changed to 9 out of 10. Of course this assessment is by comparing other lightweight games on the iOS App Store" Frank said
"In other words, I think this game really deserves the popularity it is today" Frank continued
The audience was shocked to hear Frank Zilora's extremely high rating for this simple game. Although Frank Zilora is not as senior as Greg Lenister, but many of the achievements he has achieved and proved himself in the game world deserve to give an assessment of other games.
"I ask you to please not think this thing I said is strange. This is the difference in the viewpoint of a game designer with ordinary game players" said Frank
"All you see is a simple game with ugly graphics and a very boring style of play, but in my view this is a very carefully crafted game, thought with heart and made with a purpose" Frank continued
"Please let me explain why I said that,"
Frank Zilora then put on a serious look and walked over to the audience.
The audience at the studio was very interested in Frank's statement, many of them were curious why Frank exaggerated his judgment on this game. What's so good about Flappy Bird with graphic blur? Moreover, this show is also broadcast on local TV, uploaded to video sites such as YT and others. If this Frank Zilora were to say such nonsense, it would definitely ruin his image in the game world!
