... Never heard of that, but I'll be trying it ASAP! :lol Come to to think of it, I can imagine what it is from cartoons, but I've certainly never heard it defined as that. The others I'm familiar with!

Sidenote: How many ways have you guys figured out how to get up ledges with no attach-points so far?
Hmmm... elevator?
Jet boots?
Escalator?

Feep, we'd love to have you over at the Wiki. ;)

Just froze on ANOTHER level with Santa, this time with the eye patient. I purposefully tried to do it (well, by that, I mean I spawned Santa when I didn't have to). It doesn't freeze until you pick up the starite

Confirmed. On a DSi. Are you on a Lite or a DSi SirPenguin?

Blew up nicely. Took out a nearby wall I had created to fence in its battle with a vampire! :lol

I did something similar. I put down a wooden 2x4, then set a pair of 2x4s upright on either side of it to create kind of a wooden pen. Then I set fire outside it, right next to the side so that side would catch fire. Then I plopped the Blob into the pen. As soon as it ran into the burning 2x4, it exploded :lol

I love how this game brings out the insanity in us all :lol
 
Holy shit @ this easter egg

So I was seeing if I COULD cook a cow on a grill. I couldn't (boo!), so I put some steak on there instead. To my shock the cow ate it right up...then got pissed off! He attacked Maxwell 3-4 times before dieing entirely on his own.

Yes, you heard right.

Scribblenauts has realistic MAD COW DISEASE action!


edit: and I'm on a DS Lite
 
It's not 100%. I was able to spawn santa, get rid of him, mess around with a grill, get an omelette (I assume, the chef grabbed it quick), and finish a tutorial level. So yeah, just sometimes. Anyway, I'm still having fun...hours past my bedtime, but I'll try a few actual levels and stop spamming the board. Fun times, guys. :D

Loaning my DS to my room mate in the next room, but who wants to check creative occurrences for h1n1/swine flu? :D Would add aids but doubt it could be humorously duplicated :p

It even beats God! =O I'm shocked

if it beats God, it probably beats anything. It definitely beats a dragon and Evil Maxwell


Has anyone watched the movie The Blob from 1958? How did they beat the blob in that?

Blizzard
Fire Extinguisher
Ice

Probably anything with ice.

EDIT: They actually make a difference between Manticore and Chimera :D
 
I'm quite surprised the control issue is so overblown. I adjusted to it after my sandbox bit for the most part.

Just finished world 2 puzzles, it's getting interesting.
The two bear one (was that world 2?) was nice. Fire to melt the ice and to scare the first bear down into fighting the polar bear (totally unnecessary, but hilarious) and then I parachuted down to the ledge.
So awesome.

Eh? What's up with the above average scores? 8(

Does it matter?

OH MY GOD. SCRIBBLENAUTS. STOP BLOWING MY MIND. IT IS FRAGILE AND CANNOT TAKE MUCH MORE.

Edit: 87 on metacritic with 10 reviews is not average.

87 on metacritic with 10 reviews, an unknown first installment in a new IP for the Nintendo DS from a relatively small developer published by Warner Bros, is not so far from miraculous.

I like Gamepro's tagline:

Scribblenauts is the video game equivalent of your first kiss: it's awkward, it's sweet and it's utterly memorable.
 
Really enjoying the game so far, I've spent way too much time just sitting at the title screen playing around. My tornado solution was incredibly boring.
I just dropped a shelter in the middle of the tornado, hid in it while it passed by and then ran out to the starite.
 
Alright, last cool thing before bed. I'll stop spamming this topic (promise) and start spamming my Wiki page, lolz.

"Mad Scientist" produces a different model then scientist...and in fact...IT LOOKS IDENTICAL TO DR. HORRIBLE

http://images.google.com/images?q=D...ent=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi

FUCKING AMAZING!

Also, if you spawn a Large Hadron Accelerator...well, this guy can't help but activate it, producing a black hole.

I LOVE THIS GAME

Now do it three more times with different methods.
 
Toad looks the same as frog, but at least moth is different than butterfly. And that
Dr. Horrible
reference is great...I dressed up as him last Halloween. :lol
 
Haha, friend just clued me into another meme, I guess:

OMG, I went over to my friend's house, and to my surprise.. he had Scribblenauts! So, I made him let me play it. I started fiddling around in the main menu screen for a while, and here's one thing I managed to do:

I created a time-machine. It took me back to the prehistoric era with dinosaurs. I put God, Elton John, and Satan on some dinosaurs I saw walking around. Of course the dinosaurs God and Satan were on started attacking each other. The dinosaurs died, but Satan and God both survived. They started attacking each other, and God won. After that I created more dinosaurs and set God back on one of them, and then a Leprechaun on the other. They didn't do much, so I decided to create an asteroid. I dropped it, and the whole screen turned white. I was brought back to the previous screen. I lol'd so hard!

Man, this game is great.

Damn guy, I think you have a bad copy...
 
ok so.... trying to get to the flower in the first world on a hoverboard 100% sold me... this game is win
here's a hint... i tried to take the hoverboard over water...

Nah, playing around much with Santa is a bad idea, tried it on my DSi too. Try playing for a while in 0-9 with Santa, wait until he gives the guy food (candycane) then finish the level, with a nearly full meter.

Turtle, snapping turtle, and tortoise spawn separate animals but the same icon. The snapping turtle won't bite me. :( And I couldn't figure out anything that would scare turtles without actually killing them. They just seemed CONFUSED by a tuba. :lol

Nutcrackers don't crack pecans, coconuts, or peanuts...a mallet and hammer destroy coconuts too. So much for coconut milk. :(

At least for puzzle 1-6,
the kitten followed a fireman down!
 
Damn that tornado level... After many failed attempts and giving up to finish the rest of the levels, i finally beat it.
I created a roc to ride and it was able to fly through it.

This is how I solved it:

Used a Shrink Ray on it, and it became a baby tornado. :lol

Cracked them for me... into tiny tiny pieces.
Lies!

Also more I've learned:
chimpanzees are huge like apes, and they attack trees for you...and destroy them, instead of climbing them. All my clever plans are foiled. :(

Let me look away and type 'guy who's just jealous that I beat all his MarioKart times' and turn back, and ... yup, there you are again!
 
OK, this is odd... I tried out one of the things I saw before I got it. I created a villain, then made a full moon. Well, instead of turning into a werewolf, he turned into just some guy. Sooo I created a werewolf in the full moon, and he also turned into a regular guy.
 
Messing around on the title screen, made a Wormhole (intergalactic version). Waited awhile and some crazy flying werewolf looking thing came out and killed everyone on screen.

Also Assassin looks cooler than Ninja.

I attempted this, but it didn't seem to work for me. Hmm.

New story:

There's a level (3-5p) where
you need to return a sheep back to its flock, but without using guns or explosions on the intervening wolf. I did what any sensible human being would do, and attempted to tie the sheep to a helicopter, but the sheep was dragging too low, and the wolf was attacking it.

So, I attempted to drug the wolf. I summoned a sleeping pill, but the wolf was, alas, not interested. So I glued the pill to a juicy steak, and he was out like a light. Puzzle solved, and I was awarded the merit "Bioterrorist".
:lol :lol :lol
 
Spoiler them solutions, feep. I'm not even to world 2 yet. :(

Here are my tornado adventures and then it's REALLY sleep for me.

1. Discovered the tornado couldn't kill me, used grappling hook on the tornado and the roof, bounced around for a while, bounced over the tornado using the steel blocks. Whee.

2. Used the cheap GAF shrink ray thing I'd heard about. Bounced around a bit, got over.

3. Summoned storm shelter (which produced a regular "shelter"), which I could go inside. Discovered shelter was immune to tornado, proceeded to cheaply move it behind the tornado and escape through the otherside.

4. Tried bunker (produced something with a gun that does nothing?), tried elevator since I'd heard Maxwell could go inside that (unlike a house). Elevator worked, managed to move elevator through middle portion and use it to keep him from getting hit by the tornado. Escaped through other side.

I probably could have gotten the starite down the hill since it starts getting fiddly once you attach ropes and/or stick fans around it, but it seemed that the starite gets destroyed by the tornado so that wouldn't have been a valid approach.

I used spring boots to jump over the tornado.
 
Just went all Sam Fisher
, typed nightvision and you get the goggles AND it turns everything green. The mind blowing just does not STOP

EDIT.
holy fuck, thermal goggles, xray goggles, AND laser sword AKA LIGHTSABER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Completed world one and the action levels of world 2. Some control issues, some slowdown, but overall pretty cool puzzler. Preorder bonus was neato, too.
 
Kittens apparently don't pay any attention to yarn (except as generically interesting) and puppies/dogs don't like bones? :( They would sort of act generically curious if I threw balls, and they wouldn't come if I blew a whistle. Has anyone found any dog- or cat-appropriate interactions (aside from dogs killing cats)?
 
Found this game right after work and have been playing it since. Beat all of world 1, then went on to 9 (spook theme). Higher levels give tons of ollars, blew it all on an avatar.

Level 9-11 action is a bitch.
I can get someone to shrink me so I can get out of the room. But I can't get past the fan, even if I trail ropes or chains down or drive a tank. Tar and trees don't block the fan either. I can't get break the rope either. I tried a buzz saw in a tornado, but that didn't work. Fire and explosives just destroyed the starite. If I attach a donut the cop destroys the starite when trying to get it.

Anyway, I agree about the control complaints and the awesomeness. Must sleep now, though I want to keep playing.
 
Anyone catch today's warehouse 13?
It's totally Scribblenauts! :lol

Some kid finds edgar allen poe's pen and whatever he writes down magicallly appears!
 
I'm fairly proud of my tornado solution:
I tied a kite to the Starite, then blew it with a fan from the right side. I kept blowing it and once it got caught in the tornado it whipped around and then flew over to me.

In the Digging level, I also enjoyed
making the dog and the bee get in a fight by gluing a bone to the bee.

So great.
 
I don't...think...I can actually leave the title screen. I am stuck here, summoning everything. I was disappointed I couldn't summon different color paints to paint my monkey army with. Every paint just made my monkeys purple.

Also there was a word I typed that should have definitely been in the game that wasn't, but I forgot what it was now because after that I opened an intergalactic wormhole and a demon alien came out. Then I had to make my monkey army fight it, but they failed.

I will never forget their bravery in that great battle, their blood staining the Scribblenauts battlefield. :(

The bear could not stop it either!

Also was pleasantly surprised I could summon Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto, Venus, Mar, Earth and Mercury.

weirded out that Mercury and Mars looked the same, as did Neptune and Uranus.
