About Cthulhu...



So go ahead and put Cthulhu in any game you want. Also I think Conan the Barbarian is also public domain.

couldn't post 217 have just typed "dinosaur" on the spot instead of going to the past and getting one

makes it a little but less epic
 
Has a japanese version been confirmed yet? I don't see play-asia.com selling one :(

He could have, but the whole time travel thing just completes the whole thing. The fact that the time machine was fully functional was the cool bit and what followed.
 
Oh god think of all the weapons

nunchuks

katana

shurikens

musket

baton

WHATEVER

ANd that's just the tip of the iceberg. This is the ultimate garry's mod for DS :lol

Given that a Hatter is acctually a real position someone could hold way back when, it's almost guarenteed to be in there.

Careful. If I remember right - and it's been a while - Jabberwocky is the name of the poem, and nothing more than that.

The Jabberwock, on the other hand, that is a real creature. Er, as real as things can get in this context.

It's a character of American McGee's Alice, but otherwise yeah the creature is the Jabberwock:
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

This might have been mentioned, but is it possible to summon in quantity? Let's say you want to summon 10 zombies, would I have to summon each one individually or would there be a slider of some sort?
 
Will summoning buttered toast, then summoning a cat and putting the toast on the cat cause an anti-gravity machine?

Will summoning a black hole suck everything in on the screen, leaving you with a blank screen?

Will summoning earth, wind & fire bring out a large group of musicians?

so many things to try.

This site uses Babelfish, but for a much more drastic result as it goes through each language and back to english resulting in the most ridiculous things ever.

They definitely should include the Jabberwock (the original one, it looks awesome) and an accompanying Vorpal Blade for Maxwell to slay it with.
Hell, there are a lot of great characters from Carroll's works which could be in there. :D

Excuse me for questioning sh@#. Every game that looks to have promise doesn't necessarily fulfill it. SO I was just wondering. I think its ignorant that you're hyped over get the star out the tree and you have no idea to the depth of the puzzles. Yeah its a cool concept but who's to say that the the full game is actually fun. You're just assuming it is based on a cool concept.

Way to be a fanboy about something. No need to be an a$$hole about it.

We're going off on more than just the concept. We've got videos and first hand accounts with more complex puzzles. Level 9 of the first world or area or whatever for instance. We can clearly see the difficulty picks up by comparing level 1 and 9. Seeing as how there are a total of 220 levels, it's safe to say things get a little more complex than "get the star out of the tree".

For the actual levels, there is a bar that fills up dynamically depending on what you summon. Bigger things take up more of the bar, so there is a limit to how many things you can call up. I'm not sure if there is one for the intro sandbox though.

He did kind of own you. And do some research before talking shit.
 
As if 10,000 words in the English language weren’t enough for the developers to deal with, Gavoni revealed that the North American build of the game will include Brazilian Portugeuse, French, and Spanish as well as English. The French and Spanish language sets will also have Latin American and French-Canadian alternatives.

That's not what he's talkign about. He wants to know if you can put "10x Zombie" or have to write "Zombie. Zombie. Zombie. Zombie. Zombie. Zombie. Zombie. Zombie. Zombie. Zombie."
 
Well given that each zombie (and most AI things) will probably take up around 1/4 of the bar, I'd say most "mass summon" skills would be kind of silly.

Well, my mom is stunned that this is even possible. I just came from her house, and when I let her see a few videos, she thought it was some sort of magic :D l She asked if it was possible to summon a baby sitter...I didnt even know what to say :lol

Gamestrailers developer walkthrough shows them using balloons to try and make a whale a little lighter for easier transport (at about 3:08 in). While there isn't a straightforward way of summoning in quantity, it appears it's simple enough to just click a button, and your previous word pops up again.
 
Heh, Scribblenauts can even wow parents. Sent the trailer to my dad and explained it a bit.

I can't even imagine the database and programming required to come up with that amount of possible actions based on a noun! So it is only for Nintendo DS? I wish they had a desktop app too...

I can really see the appeal Josh...as a non-gamer I would definitely play it for two reasons--#1 for it's simplicity which is in contrast to the reasons why I don't play the other newer games and #2, it's depth of game play. It is simple yet it contains more engaging depth of story than much more complicated games. Basically anything is possible based on your own actions which makes the game a living novel with you as the main character. Very cool. Might even prompt me to buy a DS...Thanks for the heads up! Seriously, I am considering buying it. I hoped my iphone would double as basic game player but it is too limited.

So I was thinking about how some words had to be cut to keep this game rated E/E10+, and I came up with the following idea: 5th Cell should release two versions of the game: a version rated E/E10+ like the way it is now, and an M rated version with all the words they had to cut because of rating restrictions. It probably wouldn't be too much work: just add to the database a little, get the new version rated, give it a subtitle ("Scribblenauts: Uncensored" maybe?) and then put it on sale next to the E/E10+ version. It would be kinda like how some movies have the regular DVD and then the Unrated DVD, which I assume works because they keep making them.
 
I'm sure the artists and the researchers would love to work on all the vulgar objects just to appease the "mature" crowd. *rolleyes*

Lifetime of owner, plus X decades.

Lovecraft is a special case, as his IP rights defaulted to his aunts when he died, then they died and left it to nobody. The fast track to public domain.

How badly do you want to see a penis in the game? Or poop? Sure, it'll be funny for like one puzzle or two, but not funny enough to warrant an entire SKU.

If you really wanted, I'm sure you can summon something in the game that looks like poo (mud? chocolate pudding?) and pretend that it is poo. It probably won't look that much different than what the "real thing" would like had the artists drew it in Scribblenauts style.

Ok, here is my spin. I did English > Hebrew > Persian >Slovak > Chinese > English. Though there area few odds and ends from other languages:

After listening to the story. I started the level, I really was not funny the idea of the depth. In my view, such as ladders, water glass, rayguns what you are. Robot, but I was too stupid and ignorant of the robot to kill me. Rayguns not, the torch is not working properly, have no interest in the face of the earth. What is my سرخوردگی I wrote in the "time machine." A pop-up. What is hell? The face of it the dawn of a smile. More than chmelené, I travel to the past or future. My decision was made in the past.
