Posting again for the new 100 post page (Sorry guys, this will be the last post of this type):

Nintendo World Store Trip Details:

Address: 10 Rockefeller Plaza.
Store opens at 11 AM. We should try and reach by 10.45, in case there is a crowd.

Closest Subway Stations:
B, D, F, V (Corner of 48th and 6th Ave.)
E, V (53rd and 5th Ave.)

Where to meet:
PRONTO PIZZA: 32 W 48th Street.
Its between Scott's Food Court and Plaza Arcade and has a Green awning.
Here is a photo so that you can recognize it better.

How to Co-ordinate:
If everyone would send me a PM with their phone numbers and contact email which they check most frequently, and thus WILL check this evening, I will send an email to everyone with all the contact details. Do it ASAP please. That way even if we are late, we can stay in touch and coordinate. If you dont want to do so, thats fine as well.

Updated list:

I thought i'll make a list of people going to be in NYC for the Scribblenauts event at the Nintendo World Store. Just post if you're gonna be there, and I will add your name to the list.

The Boss Men:
1. Jackson aka Jeremiah
2. Edy
3. Marius
4. Joe
5. Other 5th Cellers, as yet unnamed?

Courageous Scribblenauts:

2. Dacvak (I'll probably be wearing a black sports jacket with either a t-shirt or polo shirt on under it.)
3. Jow Shlabotnik
4. GregLombardi
5. Vyse The Legend
6. WowBaby (Dont forget to say hello to his son and wish him a speedy recovery!)
7. atomsk
8. jrricky
9. -PXG- (look for a black dude in a black and gold hoody and a tan messenger back.)
10. ShinoguTakeruKoeru (the skinny chinese guy in dire need of a haircut.) :lol :lol
11. Poweld + friends (look for the tallish Jewboy with curly hair)
12. AzureJericho (just be on the lookout for a tall black guy wearing matching brown or blue.)
13. Jipan (I'll be wearing white and black Puma sneakers and a brown necklace with amber and silver beads that have spikes (no I'm not goth), also I'll be sporting a camera either around my neck in a bag.)
14. ChuckyChick (I'll be the girl in the fedora walking around with a poster)

It would be nice to have a bunch of Gaffers there. Let me know if I should add (or remove) your name to the list.

 

[ZZMitch]

I hate living in Maine... Never any launch parties :lol

 

[Zerokku]

I'm amazed Futureshop here has Scribblenauts in stock and says it's on the shelf, so I will be going on my lunch to see if I can pick it up

It would be great if I could get it.

Lucky. I work retail in the states. Which means when I work, I have it inches from me. I've held the box in my hands, but I can't buy it till Tuesday because of the street date...

;_;

 

[Wario64]

Someone is going to take pics, right?

 

[Dacvak]

-Dac's post of "I'm going to make it to ScribbleLaunch!"-

Got my brakes and shit replaced at some sketchy place in the middle of PA. Back on the road. Everything looks good so far! See you guys tomorrow hopefully!

[lordoftherink]

Just an FYI, yes Future Shop got the game in stock, but the boxes are marked "Street Dated for September 15," so it is unlikely they will sell it. (Although it is not streetdated in their computer, which is how some people were able to purchase it)

 

[Flunkie]

This pertains to all those who are planning on meeting up with PXG:

Do not speak to him first without prefacing your conversation with, "M2AF".

 

[Lothars]

;_;

Well I went to Futureshop and they said that the box was street dated but on the computer it wasn't so they sold the game to me

I now own Scribblenauts and if you guys want I'll post a picture of it when I get home from work tonight.

I am gonna try it later tonight when it gets slower.

I work at gamestop (It's a part-time job before anyone gives me shit for it) and theres no way in hell they'd break a street date.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

why is this out in the UK later? may have to import i'll just wait

or just tap your magical stylus and write 'download rom' on thin air!
thats a joke for the 'don't pirate games you monster oh look porn and music brb' brigade.

 

[Lothars]

I don't know what to tell you but I'm not sure why they sold me the game and I am willing to provide picture proof once I get home if need be.

 

[Zerokku]

Oh Im not debating it. Sorry If I came off that way. I'm just saying the store I work at wouldn't.

 

[Blizzard]

Oh Im not debating it. Sorry If I came off that way. I'm just saying the store I work at wouldn't.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure GameStop never does (at least officially, who knows what shady employees do), but it sounds like a few smaller places in NYC and Canada did it. I managed to resist the urge to waste a ton of gas money today in an effort to get it. If I waited this long, I can wait a couple of days more.

 

[Lothars]

Yeah Absolutely, I don't think that Gamestop / EBgames would let the game out early but I can fully understand what you mean.

No reason to apologize, it was just a miscommunication.

Future Shop is the largest electronics retailer in Canada. Think of the equivalent of Best Buy. I'm kind of surprised they've broken street date on this.

 

[Flunkie]

For fuck's sake :lol

What was that thing you said before the stealth edit? You were going to punch someone? :lol

 

[VGChampion]

Someday I want to see a Future Shop and Gamecrazy. I hear so much about them but I've never been to one.

 

[someguyinahat]

Someday I want to see a Future Shop and Gamecrazy.

Future Shop is owned by Best Buy.

Picture a slightly cooler Best Buy...and you're there.

 

[-PXG-]

What was that thing you said before the stealth edit? You were going to punch someone? :lol

Yep. I wouldn't knock somewhat out over that shit. But I don't want them thinking I'm some maniac who is going to go ape shit over something small.

 

[Firestorm]

Do you live in the UK? Future Shop is only in Canada while GameCrazy is only in the US. My cousin was visiting from London and apparently they don't really have these crazy mega electronics stores where they sell everything there so I showed him Future Shop >.>

 

[EB Guy]

So, when you guys get the game, try typing butt plug. Let me know what you get!

 

[WowBaby]

I checked my GameStop order status and the Rooster hat is BACKORDERED.

 

[Dacvak]

Horay, I've arrived in New York. So what's the plan for us GAFers to meet up tomorrow? Someone PM me so I won't have to sift through this thread.

 

[Mutagenic]

SCRIBBZ!

I was able to drive miles out of my way and pick this lil guy up at a local independent shop. I already have one on reserve (HAD to get the rooster hat) so I'll end up giving that copy to a friend. Unfortunately, I'm heading out to watch a football game right now, but I'll have a chance to play later tonight. Thanks for the title, Jackson.

 

[outunderthestars]

Damnit, I want a rooster hat, but I like the toys r us deal! ARGH!

 

[Dacvak]

Damnit, I want a rooster hat, but I like the toys r us deal! ARGH!

BOTH.

 

[-PXG-]

Alright. I have it all squared away. I might be there a little early. If I don't go the time I have planned, I'll be a little late.

See you guys tomorrow

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

Charging up my iPod to record video with tomorrow. Now I'm kinda scared I'll oversleep from sleeping late from staying up late from over-enthusiasm. :lol

 

[IceMarker]

GO DACVAK GO! YOU CAN MAKE IT! :lol

Just needed an excuse to post this .gif :lol

 

[taoofjord]

Mutagenic, that picture is adorable.

 

[FoxMcCloudDS]

AHH! I work at a gamestop too and I drove to about 12 other stores wanting that damn game! I can't wait. Only thing I got was to hold it, and it sure did feel good. Monday the rooster hats are to be in store, and im totally getting that!

I also asked walmart and they said they wouldn't be carrying it, so midnight I will not be getting it. DARN!

Anyone else have any luck with getting their hands on one of these? I wana know if you can wear braces in the game

 

[Castor Krieg]

I'm kinda surprised. This is a rather niche title, I don't expect it to sell much. However the family ad was nice, and I can see this being fun for the whole family. Having said so the best they could come up with is Gamespot's "One of the most original games we've seen"???

How does this appeal to family and casual market is a mystery to me.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Ugh, been checking my local Kmart everyday in hopes someone screws up and puts on the shelf. :[

someone throw me a freakin bone here!

 

[iamcool388]

Sent everyone who PM'd me an email... with my contact info as well as everyone else's phone numbers and email. I wont have my email on my phone, so call me if you get lost and need directions to the Nintendo World Store (or to the nearest bar.)

I will be the one wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt with a crazy caption (i'm rich, marry me) and looks hungover as fuck.

Now time to sleep for 4 hours. Ugh.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

You guys gotta post some pics!

 

[iamcool388]

You guys gotta post some pics!

Absolutely. I think a bunch of people are bringing cameras. GAF will have pics... damn sure.

 

[MetatronM]

I may or may not go to the Nintendo World Event. Will depend on whether I can get my ass up, mostly. It is awfully late (or early, depending on your point of view) now.

We'll see if I can make it.

It's 6 in the morning in NYC. I'm wasted, tired, and as an insomniac, can't go to sleep. If I can make it, so can you!!

Do it for Maxwell lol!!

 

[atomsk]

totally exhausted from game core con yesterday, but i'm still trying to go. :lol

will try and upload pics as they happen to my twitter feed. twitter.com/attackslug

going to sleep all day tomorrow i swear

 

[gofreak]

I just got home from some travelling, and saw this thread and thought "awesome! scribblenauts is out?"

And then I saw Oct 9th for EU. Feck

 

[Hawkian]

Had to get up mad early to drive my girlfriend to the airport, will be monitoring this thread regularly to see all of the launchy goodness. Also, SCREW ALL OF YOU THAT ALREADY HAVE LEGITIMATE COPIES OF THE GAME. I mean, screw pirates too, but I can't get any stores to give one up for me :'(

 

[POWERSPHERE]

So who's playing it? Impressions?

 

[theluma]

Need some help here gaffers!

So I write sea, then I write shark, and the shark starts swimming in the sea. All is well.

Then I did my best to electrocute the shark. Toaster didn't work, so I wrote electric cable. Then I wrote generator. I stuck one end of the cable onto the generator, and the other onto the shark. But still nothing would happen.

Any idea how I would get some power going through the generator?

 

[Hawkian]

Car battery + wires?

...Lightning?

 

[theluma]

Car battery + wires?

...Lightning?

Didn't even need thw wires :lol

Just dropped a car battery in there and it did the trick. Still though, a shark can take a lot of shocks before dying.

 

[Monocle]

Hypehypehype! I wish I had a Scribblenauts demo or something. This wait is doing a serious number on my nerves.

 

[Hawkian]

Just dropped a car battery in there and it did the trick.

*solved a Scribblenauts dilemna without having the game*

*may be unable to stop smiling for rest of day*

 

[TheKingsCrown]

Scribbenauts launch party is almost here!
