Ack! I'm not complaining at all! Sorry, Jackson, if I came off that way. I hope that Scribblenauts contains as many words that don't exist as absolutely possible!
I asked a similar question about "card," which is so generic a noun as to be used for everything ranging from a piece of paper with someone's business contact information on it to a piece of paper with markings used to play any number of games to a folded piece of paper used to wish someone to get well to a piece of plastic used to make purchases to a solid-state memory storage device to an amusing and slightly foolish person to a machine for disentangling the fibres of wool.

Ah. Sorry for implying that you were complaining. I just didn't really see why you were arguing the point about helibackpack being a made up word so enthusiastically.
And thanks for the link o0achilles0o, that definitely clears many of the fears I was starting to have. Just 12 more days until release! Man I can't wait.

Cause it IS a made-up word! It was the enthusiasm of me discovering Scribblenauts had a feature I was unaware of. :lol
Beyond memes/in-jokes like NeoGAF, I thought it was only things you could look up in a dictionary (plus famous dead proper nouns like Lincoln).
EDIT: To clarify, I originally posted that "I didn't know Scribblenauts included words that don't exist" to which SmelllyWaffles replied with the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/Helibackpack as if to say that it did exist, but that page just redirects to "Helicopter Backpack," etc.
In case anyone didn't know, I'm almost certain that we've seen examples in videos where it asks "Did you mean...?"
That can be "did you mean" in terms of "word doesn't exist" (unfortunately in the case of piton, it wasn't in one video that we saw, I think, so it offered other words as spelling suggestions). Or, it can be "did you mean" in terms of something like "balloon (hot air) or balloon (party)". I don't know if both kinds are in, but I think they probably are.

I've been poking my head in and out of this thread. The 15th can't come soon enough
I have finally been accepted on Neogaf. I'm so excited that my first post will be in such an epic thread.
I heard about this game a while ago, and then came Feeps post and E3. I have been excited about the game ever since. I pre-ordered my copy a while ago and have told everyone I know about the game.
When I first get the game I'm defiantly going to try the Greek Gods and Mythical Creatures. I will probably spend hours on the title screen.
Unfortunately I came a little late to the preview thread, but I cant wait for the official thread once the game is Finally released.
I want to give a huge thanks to Jackson and the rest of 5th cell for making this amazing game and being so nice to us Neogaffers.

*sigh* Man, these last few days especially I've just been wandering around, letting random words pop into my head, than thinking "I should try that in Scribblenauts"
I need like an Excel sheet of everything I'm going to try.

You've escaped my fan-pestering of you after this, but this is my last hurrah!*edit*
Wow, it's like Bob's game...it's good to know someone higher-profile got rejected by Nintendo at first. :lol

There are two arrows on the side of the wallpaper. it's kinda hard to see, but yeah, there's quite a few more
Jackson, not sure if I've said this yet since being approved on the GAF, but I would also like to add my showers of obscene amounts of borderline creepy praise. What you guys have pulled off is truly spectacular and is really really great for the industry. Really happy that you guys are getting the success you deserve Thanks ahead for a product that I'm sure will suck up waaaay too many hours of my life!

Sorry, I haven't been paying attention to this thread after about page 30 or so but I was wondering when the official thread was going to go up? Just figured it would be up by now.

Puffles said:
Well, maybe you're not personally hurting the developers, since you'll be buying the game too, but by opening stating that the game is available through other illegal means, you're making others aware of that, which could affect their personal judgment.
Yeah, in theory you're not really doing anything wrong, but that doesn't make it any less of a douchey move to bring it up in a Scribblenauts thread on GAF. If I were you, I'd edit my previous posts to exclude any reference of obtaining the game early through illegal means. Don't just do it because it's borderline against the rules on GAF, do it because it'll make you be less of a douche.

Jackson said:buh? I didn't get any PM from you recently.
Man, you actually check those? Now I feel bad that I haven't gotten a response from the last two I sent.
Lol, I know you're mad busy.

Puffles has got to be the dumbest person ever.
One part for pirating and another part for admitting to pirating in a forum dedicated to the love of video games and their creation.
I hope the virus that 5th cell introduced in the prerelease version takes its toll! Don't cry to me when your DS gets bricked!
