Angry Birds meets classic horror in short film The Birds of Anger

Earlier this week, we posted the first of G4’s three-film Epictober Film Festival, a horror-film reimagining of the classic Nintendo shooter Duck Hunt. The festival concluded today with a film that was so cool, it deserved a second post.

In The Anger of the Birds, director Gregg Bishop puts a Hitchockian spin on Angry Birds, and serves up a great little film that explains, well… why those birds are so darn angry.

Here’s the official synopsis of the seven-minute film:

The Bacons are visited by their next door neighbor, Anne, who has brought them a lovely basket of eggs, but unfortunately, the birds want their eggs back.

Get it? “The Bacons”?

Oh, that G4 crew…

Where to find the 9 lost Gestrals in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Sastro in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

One of the first side quests you'll stumble upon in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 asks you to find all of Sastro's lost Gestrals. There are nine of them in total, and with how big the overworld is in this turn-based RPG, it can be a nightmare to track them all down.

Some of these little Gestrals are easy to spot and in places you'll pass while on your journey to defeating the Paintress. Other times, they'll be hidden away and only accessible in the final hours of your playthrough. If you can beat a Burgeon, you can surely find all the Gestrals, so we'll show you each of their locations and what you get for finding them all.
