Scribblenauts and the motherf*cking robot zombies photo

We can all agree that Scribblenauts is awesome. 5TH Cell is one of my favorite developers, and it makes me emotional to see so many people paying attention to the developer in the weeks following E3. Scribblenauts has generated a huge amount of buzz with its unique concept and ambitious promise of allowing you to bring literally anything you can think of to life.

Following E3, a particular forum post was made and then passed around the Internet as the ultimate pinnacle of Scribblenauts' brilliance, It became something of a meme, mostly due to how over-the-top it was. It went a little something like this: 

"I clicked one, and realized I could RIDE THEM. So I hopped on a f*cking DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the shit out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really? I F*CKING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERF*CKING ROBOT ZOMBIES."

This forum post (Post 217 in a thread on NeoGAF) has become so well-known that Scribblenauts artist Edison Yan drew the above picture himself, officially commemorating the heroic tale of dinosaurs versus robot zombies. How awesome is that? Apparently, NeoGAF is an in-game item in and of itself. I heard you could defeat enemies with it by claiming you know everything about the game industry and that all gaming blogs are crap. It is a powerful tool, ironically full of tools.

That is absolutely fantastic. One thought crosses my mind when I see the box art though...



Day one Purchase anyway, I bought Drawn to life because I was bored and it looked quirky.

@Cough: yes please!

I'm totally pre-ordering this. Probably would make a good present for my mum too.

Kingdom of Loathing has already beaten you to the punch (Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot familiar). :D

Everything I've seen (Wikipedia and asking the GameStop dude) puts it somewhere around mid to late September. I don't think there's been an official release announcement though.

I love it when devs engage with the fans like this. It really shows that they care about what people think of them and their games. Now I want the game even more.

Wow... This game looks *awesome*. I mean, I hadn't heard of it before today, but I am pre-ordering it as soon as I can. =P

It'd be a really nice surprise to do that tonight and forget about the game until September...

I love it when developers do stuff like this. It lets us know that they're actually listening. I cannot wait for this game to come out.

First thing I'm spawning in: A win button. Then: The credits. Then I'll replay it like I'm not some kind of asshole.

If I'm any barometer, the DS gets tons of respect! Even it's obscure RPGs/SRPGs are met with gusto: see Knights in the Nightmare. Holmes and Chad also do a nice job with praise in particular.

That does it, man. I was on the fence about the day-one purchase on this, I was probably just going to wait on reviews to see if I should get it, but now I know that these guys absolutely deserve my support.

Seen "drawn to life" around once in while. My interest is piqued. Will investigate both due to prehistoric mounts.

If this game is anything less than incredible I'm going to be disappointed.

I know God is in the game, but I'm going to ask the creator whether certain religious figures will be in the game. Could Mohammed be in the game? I hope not, as that will start all sorts of drama.

That's funny, 'cause I entered "torch" into the game and it couldn't make it. Weird how a game with "every word in the dictionary" can manage to spawn cthulu, robot zombie, time machine, invisibility cloak (the dev I demoed with told me it's in there after telling me to enter real world nouns... ha!), and fuck else, but it can't handle a god damn fucking fire on a stick.

Fuck this game.

@B-Radicate

Sorry, but "torch" is in the game. Yes, it is a fire on a stick and it is in Scribblenauts. They also give you a torch (light) option which looks like a flashlight. The torch (fire) can be used to set things on fire.

Scribblenauts handles torch just fine and I hope that fact makes you feel better.

There's no copyrighted objects in the game, so that won't work. (And the real definition of "Persona" is a concept, not an object, so that wouldn't work either.)

Most Persona's are merely mythological deities though, so you'd likely be able to summon most of the more notable ones anyway.

If there is one thing I'd change about the game is that the graphics looked more like the header image.

I'll admit. I'm one of those whose played the leak.

I'm also going to only wrap the first world, so as to enjoy the last 10. The game has a surprising amount of content, and I enjoy the creativity it tries to get you to embrace, at the very least.

I never knew I could catch a butterfly using a freeze ray, but now I can.
