If you asked Angela if the waiter is Ben, Angela would respond by saying that she doesn't know his name and that it's not Ben. [3] The intent they strived for was having users emotionally attach to Angela. The chatbot itself was designed to understand the vagaries of language, and when put to the test by a judge at the 2012 Chatbot Battles, it came out second, only due to an error in interpreting what the judge meant. [1] Characters [ ] My Talking Angela 2 is a delightful virtual pet game that allows players to care for and interact with their own talking cat, Angela. In this sequel to the popular My Talking Angela game, you’ll have even more opportunities to bond with Angela and watch her grow and thrive. It ends innocently – “Friends ROFLed and everybody at the party cheered at us. It was a cool night!” – but taken out of context with some of the questions above, it’s no surprise that parents are spooked. She’ll even tell you that “cat sex is hair raising. It’s purrfect” if you ask her about, well, cat sex. As some children surely will.

The gameplay in My Talking Angela 2 revolves around taking care of Angela’s needs and providing her with a loving and nurturing environment. You can feed her delicious meals, play with her using a variety of toys, dress her up in stylish outfits, and decorate her living space with various furniture and decorations. In the game files, it is possible to find inappropriate names for the sound of Angela's tail touch which are pokeAss4.wav and pokeAss8.wav, the same thing happens in Talking Santa. Meanwhile, the app also offers free coins in return for watching video ads for other apps: The Simpsons: Tapped Out, Knights & Dragons, Total Domination Reborn, Battle Camp and Monster Legends for example.And yes, Angela does ask at one point “You know what’s fun too? A clothing swap party. Have you ever been to such a party?” before segueing into an anecdote about how she swapped clothes with her virtual boyfriend Tom for japes.

You can also tap a “more” button to see suggestions of other videos, some of which are from Outfit7’s channel, and some of which aren’t. And then watching those videos brings up more suggestions, and so on. If you wouldn’t type “cats” into YouTube’s search box then leave your child to get on with it, you shouldn’t leave them unattended with Talking Angela. When asked about restaurants, or simply what's popular in France, Angela would mention the popular family diner McDonald's. My Talking Angela 2 is the virtual pet game that makes every day more stylish and fun. Players help this fashionable cat stay busy in her big-city home. This button will record the screen. Unlike most video recording apps, outside sound can be easily heard if it is nearby the device. There is no option for it to only record internal sound. Finally, what happens if you turn child mode off – as any child can relatively easily – and start chatting to Angela using the text box at the bottom of the screen? It’s this feature that’s fuelled the Facebook hoax.

Customer reviews

While it’s definitely not connecting your children to paedophiles, it does raise some issues. These are all genuine questions that Angela asked me while I chatted to her: The app's early development started on 29 September 2012, it has been confirmed on the IPA files of versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.0.1, and 2.1 of the game on archive.org What can kids do when Child Mode is turned on, though? They can get Angela to repeat her words, stroke and poke her (in the non-inappropriate sense!) to see animated responses, and make birds fly onto the screen – don’t worry, she doesn’t eat them. Despite Angela getting a redesign in the app, you can still see her old design on the "My items" icon.
