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.
_____________________________________________________________
ShotgunVsShogun No 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.

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.
