#139 Scribblenauts


Sean’s Favorite Word

I haven’t actually played that much Scribblenauts, but I did spend a lot of time watching Sean attempt to beat every level with a backhoe.

Really the reason I have been missing updates is school. Next week is going to get ridiculous. (Homework due every day, plus two midterms and a two week project I need to start) But I am doing my best to keep up with everything! And so far it is working which is surprising because I am like the worst student ever so I’m proud of myself and I’ll try to fit in comics when I can.
P.S. I totally joined my school’s actuarial league, and I have another exam coming up in the winter. EXCITING!!

Fuck is not in the game either

Despite the lack of certain words Scribblenauts is a really fun game. I remember drooling at all the videos and imagining the endless possibilities for the game. However, when I got the game I was slightly disappointed, not with the game, it does what it advertised but with myself. I am not nearly as creative as I had hoped I would be. Well not so much creativity, but every time I pick up the game my mind blanks, and I have to rediscover all the nouns in the English language. It turns out many people have the same problem. Scribblenauts is much better as a party game, where one player plays the game and a group of friend huddle around yelling suggestions in his face. Otherwise you will find yourself repeatedly using the same 3 or 4 nouns to pass every stage.

    I’d be interested to see how you could beat a level only using a penis.

    You can beat a lot of things using only a penis.

    @Vespasianus
    1) your name has anus in it
    2) he kind of reminds me of Tim from Braid http://www.davidhellman.net/braid/tim-run-70pc.gif

    Put the pirate in the hotel
    Get the pirate out of the hotel
    See what happens

    Lol. I played scribblenauts and the stuff is actually insane. It has like 23000 different things you can use but it really does lack words such as penis.

    @ Vespasiananus whats your name supposed to mean?
