Bitmobbers on Twitter: Scribblenauts Edition

Welcome to the very first edition of Bitmobbers on Twitter!

 

If you are not on Twitter then you are missing out on some great stuff.  A lot of Bitmobbers use Twitter frequently, not just to plug their work but to chat as well - want to know what you are missing? 

 

 

Scribblenauts came out today, and a couple Bitmobbers had the chance to play it.  Here is what they thought:  

 

The Cast:

MarkWhitney - Mark Whitney

acronkyoung - Alex R. Cronk-Young

ShotgunVsShogun - James DeRosa

PROPER_KILL - Jazz English

AaronRivers - Aaron Rivers

_______________________________________________________

MarkWhitney thinks he may be going pick up Bowser's Inside Story and Scribblenauts today..

_____________________________________________________________

acronkyoung Just called the store in my podunk city and they got Scribblenauts in. Even knew what I was talking about when I asked! Might go get it.

_____________________________________________________________

 ShotgunVsShogun Just so everyone is clear, wormhole does in fact beat tornado...

_____________________________________________________________

ShotgunVsShogun Also, just so you know, toaster beats barracuda. This is very important information.

_____________________________________________________________

  acronkyoung Hmmm. Nothing new on psp at our crappy store. Maybe Bowsers Inside Story and Scribblenauts?

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoung Meh, I guess I'll just get a $20 PSN card to go with my copy of Scribblenauts.

_____________________________________________________________

  acronkyoung I can't decide what the first word I should try on Scribblenauts should be.

_____________________________________________________________

   ShotgunVsShogun@acronkyoung After I finished the tutorial, the first word I put in was Tsunami. It killed me.

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoung Apparently a battering ram destroys entire buildings instead of pounding through the door.

_____________________________________________________________

acronkyoung@ShotgunVsShogun How come a key and a doorman can't open the restaurant? A battering ram and an axe both destroy it. Locksmith maybe?

_____________________________________________________________

   acronkyoung Apparently my task wasnt to get into the restaurant, but just type food. Classic case of overthinking the situation.

_____________________________________________________________

   acronkyoung I typed delivery truck, then put the chef in. Then jumped onto it, and somehow the truck and all flew into the air and I failed the level

_____________________________________________________________

   acronkyoung@MarkWhitney Do you want me to tell you what happens when you enter Scribblenauts or Maxwell?

_____________________________________________________________

acronkyoung I guess I can't capture the butterfly by shooting it. Too bad.

_____________________________________________________________

acronkyoung These Rocket Skates are NOT rocket powered! Laaaaaaame!

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoung Dammit. I tried to refresh a guy in a desert by typing Mentos but it was a no-go. 

_____________________________________________________________

  acronkyoung I chopped down a tree in order to get trash out of it and clean a park. Defeating the purpose? It worked. 

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoung What the crap?! There's no earthquakes? How am I supposed to knock these bottles down? 

_____________________________________________________________

The_Lancer@acronkyoung Try some wind?

_____________________________________________________________

acronkyoung@The_Lancer Yep. I just used a bowling ball instead of a baseball.

____________________________________________________________

 PROPER_KILL@acronkyoung dinosaur?

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoung@proper_kill The monster killed me so I assume the dinosaur would have too.

_____________________________________________________________

PROPER_KILL@acronkyoung drunk. I heard that they find and drink bottles.

_____________________________________________________________

 The_Lancer@acronkyoung LOL awesome!!! How do you like it so far?

_____________________________________________________________

  ShotgunVsShogun Teleporter to me to a weird room. Cancer doesn't work. Bears beat mutants.

_____________________________________________________________

acronkyoung My DS is pissing me off because I still have a fat and it has dead zones but the game seems fun. @The_Lancer

_____________________________________________________________

 The_Lancer @ShotgunVsShogun James, what do you think of the game so far?

_____________________________________________________________

 ShotgunVsShogun Jet Pack. Everytime.

_____________________________________________________________

 ShotgunVsShogun There isn't as much variety to the challenges as I hoped. But the amount of art assets is fucking crazy!

_____________________________________________________________

 ShotgunVsShogun I just put a Fedora on a monkey. Why? I don't fucking know!

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoung HOLY SHIT! YOU CAN RIDE A FUCKING GORILLA!! GAME OF THE YEAR!! 

_____________________________________________________________

acronkyoung@ShotgunVsShogun Can you put a fedora on the gorilla youre riding? That'd make it GOTY 2010 too!

_____________________________________________________________

ShotgunVsShogun What's truly hilarious is that I bought the robot avatar, so everything is being done by a robot.

_____________________________________________________________

acronkyoung Chupacabra's are completely cool with you, but they fuck the shit out of a yeti. 

_____________________________________________________________

ShotgunVsShogun Block of ice? Nothing a little napalm won't fix. @The_Lancer Yeah, actually the game is pretty sweet.

_____________________________________________________________

acronkyoung Fuck you stupid pirahna. Everything I do to kill you kills the flower too. 

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoung Why won't a button presser press this gate button for me? 

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoung Aaaalright. A clone can do much more to help you then another Maxwell can, though they look the same. 

_____________________________________________________________

 ShotgunVsShoguNo jumper cables! DAMN YOU SCRIBBLENAUTS! 

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoung I created an intergalactic wormhole and some sort of bat creature called Ahool came through.

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoung@ShotgunVsShogun Wormhole does not beat tornado! Liar!

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoung@ShotgunVsShogun Nevermind. Wormhole does beat tornado.

_____________________________________________________________

 AaronRivers Cthulu beats God. I knew it!

_____________________________________________________________

 AaronRivers My background noise right now is James' intermittent screams. Scribblenauts must be fun?

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoung@AaronRivers It is incredibly annoying when something doesnt work the way you want or you click something wrong.

_____________________________________________________________

ShotgunVsShogun@acronkyoung Told ya so.

_____________________________________________________________

 AaronRivers@acronkyoung yeah he was having some troubles involving an exploding barrel, some rope, and a non-cooperative mole.

_____________________________________________________________

AaronRiversSo some kids were having a snowball fight. So James decided that he would combat such a threat with what? A Trebuchet.

_____________________________________________________________

 ShotgunVsShogun@acronkyoung I just figure out that if you keep dying in a level you can press start to skip the intro. Just a heads up.

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoungNevermind, they do have a vaporization gun but it doesn't vaporize animals. Just ice is all I've found. Laaaame. 

_____________________________________________________________

 The_Lancer@ShotgunVsShogun @AaronRivers @acronkyoung OKAY GUYS: ANY CLOSING COMMENTS?????

_____________________________________________________________

acronkyoung@The_Lancer Hold on, let me see if bears eat meatballs...

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoung@The_Lancer Yep, but then they keep coming for you.Laaaaame. 

_____________________________________________________________

 acronkyoung@The_Lancer One more closing thought: You can ride the gorilla around killing people. Game of the Year! 

_____________________________________________________________

There you have it!  If this does not have you interested in Scribblenauts then nothing will!

 

Thanks to Alex, James, Jazz, Aaron and Mark for contributing - and for taking breaks from the game to Tweet.  A big thanks goes to Andrew Hiscock for the idea.

Nietzsche claimed that God is dead.

I know he is. Because I killed him with a laser.

I find poison is quite effective against mean fishes.

That about sums it up. By the way still trying to see who would win in a fight Giant Squid, T-rex, all on the back of a whale. I love you Brandon Bird.

@Jasmine: I use toasters. Ha!
James DeRosa , September 16, 2009
Thanks guys, I was so tempted to not say the name of the game you were talking about and just let people just wonder... smilies/cheesy.gif

@Jasmine - Use your Twitter more!
Lance Darnell , September 16, 2009
i knoooow, I have no excuse since i update from my phone. I'll get on it
Jasmine Maleficent Rea , September 16, 2009
Word to the wise if you want to save some object uses and not have to kill things with toasters and bug spray and poison and all that: invisibility cloak.
Alex R. Cronk-Young , September 16, 2009
Ha ha, this was great! You have to do more, Lance!
J. Cosmo Cohen , September 16, 2009
Yeah that was great Lance!

I seriously want this game now,can't wait for it to be released here!
Ultan O'Connell , September 16, 2009
I'm not near my DS right now, but I wonder if Keyboard Cat beats God? I think he may...
Josh DuBose , September 16, 2009
I can verify that, like many people I know, God is not interested in Keyboard Cat. He ignores it completely. God does, however, hate bees.
Josh DuBose , September 17, 2009
By the way Lance, my link doesn't work. Try this one:

Alex R. Cronk-Young , September 17, 2009
Oops, Sorry Alex. I will fix that now!
Lance Darnell , September 17, 2009
I've been holding out on Twitter for quite some time, but my love of Scribblenauts and bitmob might just bring me over.
