Mat Beyer was controversially removed from the show Masterchef for secretly hanging on to his iPhone during the contest, but speaking to PopSugar, Mat was keen to set a few things straight. He was not playing Angry Birds, apparently he hates Angry Birds. He’s all about Plants vs Zombies.
“That’s not true!” He said, after being asked about the rumours of him playing Angry Birds on the show. “[I play]Plants vs Zombies. And Doodle Jump. I don’t like Angry Birds, it really pisses me off. It’s really frustrating.”
I sort of find this whole thing hilarious – particularly the fact that Angry Birds is linked to the iPhone and mobile gaming so intrinsically, that the media immediately thought that Angry Birds game he would be playing. Obviously.
Respect Mat – Doodle Jump is clearly the superior game – I was obsessed with that game for months. And Mr Beyer, just as an aside, there’s no way you can beat my record.
191,000 baby.

Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 10:38 AMI thought it was awesome! One of the girls from PopSugar, who work alongside us in the same office, interviewed him and he was ragging on the game. Considering he got kicked off for iPhone usage, I thought it was funny.

There won’t be much time for anything else, although maybe the occasional human interest piece – like hats for robots in Portal 2.

Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 12:20 PMOh, I wasn’t complaining. Infact Marks comment about Angry Birds being related to mobile gaming I found completely true. Was just pointing out that it must be a slow news day.

Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 10:53 AMI watched the elimination yesterday, poor guy but regardless if he cheated or not, he did have an unfair advantage using his iPhone while in the competition.
Btw cut the rope is the superior game.
