September 15th, the greatest game of all time will be coming out. I have my reserve down at the GStop. Anybody else with me?

I am totally there. I saw the videos for the game and preordered it the next day. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Type "Cthulhu" for instant win.

... It doesn't matter if he just kills you, everyone wins. Period.

I watched some videos, and I'm on board now.

In honor of Cody, who first introduced me to the game, the first word I type into Scribblenauts will be "Lobster."
: Re: Scribblenauts
: Dawnsteel September 16, 2009, 08:16:12 AM
"Lobster"

"Cthulhu"

"Yog Soggoth" (failed)

"Shoggoth"


(Cthulhu ignored the lobster and killed the shoggoth.)

Perhaps we should turn this thread into fun words to put into Scribblenauts.

"Shadow" is creepy.

I don't own the game, but I kinda want to see what happens if you type in "God" and "Nietzsche." Who would win?!

Gonna try and get my hands on Scribblenauts within the next few days. Hopefully, it's as fun as it looks.

God just summons some old dude in sandals, y'know - God. I haven't been able to make him do anything for me yet.

At least the game is realistic.

1) Type "Particle accelerator"

2) Interact with it.

3) See what happens because it is awesome.

Did you Cthulhu the trick-or-treaters?

Because I did.

I managed to get my hands on a copy of Scribblenauts today. To the dismay of German philosophy buffs everywhere, Nietzsche is not in the dictionary... :-(

Still, I've managed to learn quite a bit from Scribblenauts. Here are some of the lessons I've picked up from the main screen:

1.) In an unarmed Angel vs. Devil fight, the Devil always wins. The Angel will run away, crying like a little girl.
2.) In an Angel vs. Devil fight where you give the Angel a crossbow, the Devil doesn't have a hope in Hell. Angels with crossbows do not fuck around.
3.) In a God vs. Cthulhu fight, God will kick Cthulhu's tentacled ass without flinching. God may be old, but he still means business.
4.) If you create a table full of food and then a "Fat Guy," he will proceed to devour the entire feast you've laid out for him and then fall asleep.
5.) If you create a Prison and then interact with it, a criminal will pop out and immediately flee the scene. If you approach him later on, he will chase and threaten you until you walk back over to the prison, at which point he will turn tail and bolt in terror. This leads me to conclude that horrible things must happen in Scribblenauts prison. After all, the other inmates can sodomize you with whatever crazy shit happens to be in the game's dictionary.

And that's a lot of crazy shit.

It's been a week and a half since I played Scribblenauts - I lent my DS to my brother to entertain him on the ridiculously long flight to Hawaii.

I use the wand to turn people/monsters into frogs a lot, though.

There's a level in World 9 where the prompt says, "Help the bad people get to heaven." And I thought to myself, "Why would you want to do that!?"

To get the starite? Which, you are convinced is a good thing to do.
: Re: Scribblenauts
: Dawnsteel October 04, 2009, 08:51:38 PM
I forget the level ID, but it's an action level, in world 4 or 5 I think, and the hint reads simply, "Good luck with that."

It is not often that I laugh aloud at a DS game.
: Re: Scribblenauts
: malyss October 15, 2009, 02:14:52 PM
I don't know who enjoys the game more - me or my 5 and 7 year olds.

It is interesting to see what they think is a good idea versus what I think is a good idea...

Pretty much every problem I've solved boils down to some combination of jetpack+hot air balloon+trebuchet+rope+minotaur+cricket bat. 

I love this game.

A friend of mine showed me a neat trick today. If you create a piece of toast and top it with tape or glue, then create a cat, have Maxwell pick up the toast and "USE" it on the cat, a black hole will appear. It does this because cats always land on their feet and toast always lands buttered side down.

I didn't realize that! That is fucking amazing!

Of all the things that you have posted about this game i think I now have a reason to want to play it for the sole reason of the butterd toast and cat!

These sorts of things are a result of frenzied cram sessions for Advanced Calc and Physics finals. I know this because I once came up with a word problem that required a person to figure out how much force it would take to pull a monkey up to the top of a building if the monkey was climbing the rope and simultaneously pissing and thus losing weight. You can solve the problem in using multiderivatives if, and only if, the monkey is pissing perpendicular to the rope. If not, you have to account for the angel and force of the monkey's urine stream and whether that is pushing him away from the building or toward it.

I wonder if I still have the notebook that has the equation in it.

It's one of the basic laws of physics:

The hilarity of a math problem is directly proportional to its association with monkeys.
