Foster's Big Fat Awesome House Party

Call us childish, but Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is a cartoon we can not help but love for its creative character designs and enjoyable (if not simple -- it's a Cartoon Network show) storyline. Our friends at TV Squad informed us about a new online game based on the show, Foster's Big Fat Awesome House Party, which we are finding surprisingly fun. After registration and an incredibly long load screen (that goes to 112%*), you are taken to a simple character creation screen. Do you like our imaginary friend? We call him Mr. Bearry Rotund.

The rest of the game is more adventure-oriented -- doing different tasks to advance in level and make new friends. It is an amusing time-waster, and we totally dig it.

You know, I always wondered if I'd like this show if one of the two main protagonists wasn't unlikeable in practically every way you could think of.

As much as I watch too many cartoons (I've seen a frightening amount of Fairly OddParents and Avatar: the Last Airbender) that have had free web-based games, I couldn't be dragged into this site.

you guys should watch it if yu have time
the game is pretty fun too

KirbyMeister: Jun 12th 2006; 3:43PM

That 'activeX thing' is just Shockwave Player. It's perfectly OK to install (and I wish they'd make a *censored* Linux version of SWP already!!!)

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is deffinately one of the best cartoons airing at the moment. I don't know how bored I'll have to be to check out this sort of game though.

josh: Jun 12th 2006; 4:17PM

don't those numbers only add to 105%?

chris: Jun 12th 2006; 4:48PM

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ

McGruff, The Math Crime Dog: Jun 12th 2006; 5:05PM

That's only 105%. What's the other 6% - Flash 8?

Ford Dent: Jun 12th 2006; 5:24PM

You know, I noted the release of this particular game whilst watching what could be classified by the ignorant masses as far too much Foster's (of course we all know that no such thing exists as too much Foster's).

Anyhoo, I never got around to checking it out. Glad to hear that it's pretty keen.

KirbyMeister: Jun 12th 2006; 6:40PM

I've played it, and I have to say it's pretty fun. If you liked Animal Crossing you'll like this, even if you're only playing it to unlock all the minigames.

Rodents: Jun 12th 2006; 7:32PM

oh my god you just made my day 10x happier with that quote there.. it's kind of odd too that i've watched it a few times lately :) woot for gene wilder

On Tuesday, June 20, 2006,I got 3915 points on the game "AHOY MATEY!" in the arcade and I saw that the #1 World high score was lower than 3915 and saw the sign saying "ALL WORLD HIGH SCORES ARE UPDATED WEEKLY" so I waited. Today is June 21, 2006 and the World high scores changed! #1 World High Score was 3540 which is still less than 3915. It didn't put my score in! My imaginary friend in the game's name is red (no capital letters).

Josh: Jun 25th 2006; 11:26PM

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is my favorite cartoon ever. My Mom & I watch it everyday & we both laugh so hard. Thanks for coming up with such a great show.

I cant even get onto the thing!! There is a yellow block in front of it!!!!

Kamikaze Marshmallow: Jul 3rd 2006; 1:01AM

Everytime I try to sign into the game, it tells me there was a problem communicating with the server and I must reload.

TOOTHPICK: Jul 5th 2006; 5:24PM

ALICE COOPER ROCKS

Zak: Jul 11th 2006; 11:42AM

This game rocks. I love the show, it's one of the funniest (I must say that Billy and Mandy quite posibly is their funniest show) and most entertaining. One thing that stinks though, is that it take like 3 days to be able to go on an adventure with Bloo! My imaginary friend's name is Zeeky, he's a happy faced sack.

Lizzie Scoles: Jul 17th 2006; 10:43PM

Both of my friends are happy faced lightbulbs, one named elmer, one named Elmer II.This game is so much fun, but i wish there was more to do after you got bored with the games and were done the chores. Everything takes a while to do, it takes three days to fill up the citizenship bar, and once you fill that up and go on an adventure with Bloo i think the popularity bar fills itself up. I've gotten up to unlocking the third floor, which includes my own room but I've yet to figure out how to get new furniture.

Andrey: Aug 18th 2006; 5:45PM

Can anyone help me i can't get it to work correctly it keeps on saying "There was an error communicating with the server"

A guy: Aug 24th 2006; 12:35AM

How do you get furniture? I want it help please!!! Oh and my friend is lampy, and I DON'T THINK I i need to tell you what he looks like. But for the ones who didnt pass 1st grade, hes a lamp. Oh and the funniest episode was where bloo was watching the news and he started saying all that stuff about Topeka. haha.

cameron: Aug 25th 2006; 5:09PM

To get fruniture, you need to unlock the new games. Their pretty easy, but i would do the cooking game first. u get a new prize every lvl if you do it right. Also, does anyone know how to get buddies?

a girl: Aug 27th 2006; 5:23PM

How do you get buddies?

ShadowDude: Sep 8th 2006; 6:04PM

youe get buddies by playing "go po go!" "something fishy" and "shutterbug". The butterfly u get from beating the second level of something fishy. The red ball u get from beating the second level of shutterbug. The bat u get from beating the third level of go po go. I got this from wikipedia by the way.
