I picked up my copy at Gamestop at 10:05 this morning, there were five people ahead of me in line (don't these people have jobs??) and they all wanted Scribblenauts 
I also picked up the strategy guide. Any time the strategy guide is as thick as a phone book that probably means I need it.
They didn't have the pre-order rooster hats! What a fucking swizz. That was the whole point of pre-ordering it there. I have to call back later and see if they got them in.

On the menu, I was just thinking of the most bizarre things to see if I could stump the game. It's all I've had time for today so far (working...) and the thing had everything bizarre I could think of, even things I thought surely it would get wrong like "skate". Flea's are too big IMO 
Killer mutant fleas.
Killer mutant fleas.Well, here's my pick up story. I was keen to get it as early as possible, but attempts yesterday and at the weekend were fruitless.
SO, I figured if I were to get it on launch day, I may as well take advantage of the free $15 gift card at Toys R Us. I made my way over before work (a couple bus rides), but when I got there they didn't have it in, but were expecting it. Bah - no big deal, but it meant I would have to come back in (bus ride back out, and back in and so on -less than convenient).
Well, I was there, and decided to have a few minute look around. Then the manager came up to me and said, "Actually, we do have it in, it just hasn't been checked in - but you can go pick it up now if you want."
HA!
Man, $14.99 for Scribblenauts? Good deal.
I haven't made it past the title screen yet, but having input Liger, liger cub, feijoa, bus station and bunsen, I'm impressed it only was clueless on the bunsen.
Yay!

I find a good way to solve problems is type in 'Black Hole'.

Sometimes it annoys you that the fantastical ideas you have to get through the level aren't working out, but then you just try attaching a fishing line to something and it works fine and you're all "It was that easy?"Neverfade said:

Nobody summoned a "Tranquilizer Gun?"
I used a trampoline to climb up, then a tranquilizer gun took out the upper policeman, then napalm and a normal gun took out the pile of crap on the right. From there it's easy.
Or you could just use a fan I suppose.

This game is awesome. Amazon released day is pretty cool too. I've gotten the hang of the controls, not too much of a problem for me. The writing recognition is not too bad if you take your time, but certain letters can be a pain at times. I'm still practicing though. There is a nice challenge in the levels.
Some quirks: I cant believe the cheetah is so slow and yet the raptor is fast. I had a few problems with characters hold balloons ex. clown and kid, and the game froze once on me i forgot what i did exactly. The rabbit interaction are hilarious.
I got complete control of riding the hostile animals like the t-rex. Sweet
All in all the game is fun-tastic its hard for me to put down.
My 2 cents peace.

Blizzard said:Bunsen burner is a proper noun...I guess "burner" doesn't work but that doesn't exactly describe it exactly, so yeah.
My Gamestop had better have a rooster hat left after 7 p.m. or there will be blood.
First come first serve (for pre-orders that is). Don't count on it.

I do like the paper though, the feel of it and how it looks like notebook paper.

All hail long cat, invincible peace loving destroyer of evil!
After lots of testing, I'm convince long cat in invincible. Long cat only fights back at things that attack it, so no long cat versus god. Besides, god was killed by a T.rex. Long cat killed the T.rex, so long cat is superior.

I've been avoiding spoilers for this game since Post 217, BTW.
the guy in the black t-shirt with NES controller on it is, though. Is he supposed to be a generic gamer or a specific GAFfer?

I did this level so sloppy. I summoned a thief to distract the bottom policeman (which didnt really matter), which caused him to freak out and the gate to close. This spawned another guard behind me, but he didn't attack. I then trampolined up to the upper policeman, and he attacked me, but I just ran by and he was content with shooting at the floor. Blew up the shit on the right with a bomb and got the starite without him killing me. Game is so glitchy sometimes.

Too bad the music changes every time you change the menu. I get about 2 seconds of any given song before I'm somewhere else. Good thing the actual level music is good.

3:00 - 4:00 here. ugh. Killin' me!
I got the game at 10 at toys r us. Everyone in line (5) was getting Scibblenauts (if not, Scribblenauts and Mario and Luigi). They sold out of Scribblenauts before noon.
Man oh man. So many funny stories.
And I even got to do the first action level the way I wanted!

Hairspray at the base of the tree, apply a match to hairspray, boom goes the can and tree, starite get.

Social commentary ala 5th Cell?
ShallNoiseUpon, thanks for the admin rights! I uploaded the upper-left logo image. It was a high-res one, and it cropped it instead of squashing it, but.. I kind of like how it looks o.o

Not much yet, though I shall be adding a humorous couple of pages for Gamer and Virgin. :lol Tread lightly, of course, those unfriendly to spoilers.

Bingo!
I just tried a certain Dragon Ball meme... and let's just say, I'm convinced this game does have over nine thousand words in there.
The hype for this game was amazing, especially here. As a result of that, I believe that I'm far more let down than I would have been had I not followed it so closely over the past few weeks.
Don't get me wrong, saying I'm let down doesn't mean I think it's a bad game or anything like that. It's just, instead of being a GOTY candidate, or even a handheld GOTY candidate, it's simply a "really good game" and that's just fine.
To me, and this is just my opinion, the control issues that a lot of people are going to have are going to turn a lot of people off of it, and as a result of that I can't put it in the category of a true GOTY.
Still a great game, just one that is hindered slightly.
We have a fantastic foundation here on which to build in the future.
I'm only two "worlds" in, but as of right now I'd give it a very solid 8 or 8.5 out of 10.

wow, this is really fun.
it's got problems, and i don't really sit and play it for long stretches, but as something to tinker with and as an exercise in creativity, it's a blast.
in a way it feels like this amazing flash game that you'd mess with online. that may sound like a back-handed compliment, but hey, there it is.

put a mattress on the spike. It does the same thing as the ramp mentioned already.
beelzebozo said:
Yeah, most of that sounds exactly like my reaction.
I do love how they have it so you can replay levels and being forced to not use any of the items you used the time before to add even more replay value to the game.
Heck, I've spent a ton of time just on the start screen.
