Get ready for The Walking Dead Season Premiere with these Android apps Posted: 09 Feb 2014 02:28 PM PST Tonight is The Walking Dead Mid-Season Premiere and if we had to guess, there are lots of Android fans eagerly anticipating the show. As you may know, AMC has several apps for Android, including one called “Dead Yourself” that we used to create the Walking Droid below: Definitely the ugliest Android Robot we’ve ever seen, but if you think you can outdo us, download the app and make one for yourself. AMC chooses several fan made “Deaded” pictures leading in and out of commercial breaks, maybe this week’s will include a Zombified Android Robot. For extra kicks, tag it with #WalkingDroid on Google+ AMC has three other Walking Dead themed apps as well: Walking Dead: The Reckoning which is a comic book style choose your own adventure action game. Walking Dead ZomiEcards that let you send zombified eCards to whoever you’d like Walking Dead Survival Test is a  timed 7 question quiz that will tell you which character you’re most like based on your answers. All those apps are pretty silly, but if you REALLY want to get into the mood, Android has no shortage of awesome zombie themed games. Some of our favorite Zombie Games: Dead Trigger 2 Dead Effect Into The Dead Zombie Frontier Zombie Frontier 2 Zombie Highway Zombiewood And really, searching the Google Play Store for “Zombie” will return a lot of great high-rated finds. Don’t forget that Valentine’s Day is coming up, too. If you’re single, take solace in knowing that you can spend as much time with Phandroid as you’d like. And we mean that in the least creepy way possible. Enjoy the show!

Where did Flappy Bird go? Posted: 09 Feb 2014 09:12 AM PST The meteoric rise of the game Flappy Bird has eerily played out like the game itself: with a quick and abrupt ending that left Flappy Bird crashing into the ground. The game enjoyed a sudden spike of interest so large that it was generating $50k in revenue each day despite limited advertising. But now the game is gone. And probably for good. (Formerly located here) The app’s creator could not take the attention that his game’s success brought, and in a very Chris Crockerish moment, had a Twitter meltdown pronouncing the game’s upcoming removal (“Leave Flappy Bird alooone!”). He’s made good on that promise… the game is now gone from the Google Play Store. With the game gone from the Google Play Store, the small list of people who missed out on the game will be wondering where to download Flappy Bird considering its official absence. We assume an unofficial .apk will pop up on forums and elsewhere, and there are already some shameless copycat games hoping to fill the void. However, our recommendation is much different: just forget Flappy Bird exists. It’s a tale we’ll remember for years, but the clamor and hubbub have peaked, it’s really not worth all this noise. And for that, maybe the game’s author is smarter than we think. After all, even after removing it form the Google Play Store, he’ll be raking in the revenue every time someone opens up the game to play. For the record, my high score is a miserable 19. If you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to get going, the weekend is almost over and I swore on my life I would reach 20. Update: It appears you can still download Flappy Bird for Windows Phone
