OMG! Activision and Nickelodeon developing a game based on iCarly

by Justin McElroy on May 13th 2009 10:10AM

How to fully enjoy this post:

1. Grab the nearest preteen girl. (If you're not in your home, please ask permission before grabbing random preteens.)
2. Insert earplugs.
3. Tell the aforementioned girl that Activision is making a video game for Wii and DS with Nickelodeon based on the network's iCarly, and that it will allow her to make her own episodes of the show through the magic of minigames.
4. Remove earphones.
5. Repair squeal-shattered windows, champagne flutes.
6. Look totally cool to said preteen for at least 15 minutes.

By preteen do you mean 3 year old?

Actually iCarly can cut & paste.

I don't think anyone likes this show, I saw an episode yesterday while watching my 2 year old neice, and i gotta say it's terrible. It's like if you took a 40 year old who's never been on the internet, then got him to tell a story about his grand daughter being on the internet or something.

I feel a bit better knowing that I do NOT know who the middle girl is...just a bit better

I don't know who any of them are... but I live in England. I think we have the Spice Girls instead or something...or maybe Stephen Fry. yeah, let's go with Stephen Fry.

I have no idea about all of them. Basement dwelling has its pride sometimes.

The first ones Miley Cyrus I believe, but the other two I have no clue about (and I only know Miley because she was on Jonathan Ross a few weeks back)

I thought they were all the same person >_>

I think basement dwelling would make it more likely.

I recognise all of them though, can't put names to faces apart from Ms Cyrus but I still wish I didn't.

Why?

because you arent the only one who buys video games.

Is giving us ANY instructions on what to do with a preteen girl wise?

I mean, I'm sure Chris Hanson plays video games too....

Goddam you Joystiq! Making me grab preteens, I didn't know it was so easy to get on the sex offenders register.

A friend's brother is on the sex offender's register because the police detected him downloading bondage porn. Not underage or anything, it's just the particular type he downloaded was technically illegal under some old law.

So he now can't work with children and has to declare that he's on the register practically everywhere he goes.

What do you mean “detected him”? Don’t they have to have a search warrant to go through your computer files?

Shhh, don't ruin the brother's lie. He's obviously hiding his real crime from his family. "Yea, I uh..downloaded... bondage porn? But but, it was like really weird and kinky and uhh... illegal? Oh, it was an old law!! Right so, in 1820, the state said you can't download ... er ... well yea .. can't "download" this particular form of bondage porn. No, I don't know how they knew to use the word download either, weird right?"

No i think he's probably telling the truth, or at least could be, there was a law passed recently here in England (where im pretty sure The Baron is from too) that outlawed all "extreme" pornography including stuff like spanking and bondage. It's a decent idea in principal but just extended too far, and thanks to the big brother culture in this country now i really wouldn't be surprised if it was true.

@Pete: There are other ways to get caught out. For instance you could take your laptop for repair, forgetting that it contains your porn stash, and the repairer reports it - etc.

I've heard about child porn being found by accident like that, and people getting arrested for it.

Yes, I am from the UK, and I think it was this extreme pornography law he got caught out under. I'm just relying on some guy's anecdote though, he could have made the whole thing up.

MEGATON!!!!!!!!

It's Miley!.....Or Carly rather. Does Disney have a lab where they crank these girls out?

Yup, they breed them from young, raise them in a disney school institute where they are sealed away from the world and start thier careers off from the age of 4

Noooo, but Nickelodeon does...

Of course they do.

who???

Dear God I miss the OLD Nick shows like CLASSIC "All That" and "Keenan & Kel"

Classic? Let me know when you've seen You Can't Do That on Television

Damn you, Wizzleteats for typing faster than me!

I still miss Legends of the Hidden Temple.

lol Double Dare, That Temple game, and the other game shows....hell Ren & Stimpy too...EVERYONE WANT A LOG!!!!

STFU! THERE IS ONLY PETE AND PETE! (well, that and hey dude, and salute your shorts.)

Salute your shorts was the shit too...

I loved Keenan and Kel too. That said, Wizzleteet's assertion about You Can't Do That On Television rings true.

Also, Wizzleteets--your first name wouldn't happen to be Stinky, would it?

Well, kids? Are ya happy yet?! No!?
I'll teach you to be happy!
I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs!

Avatar is on a WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL than ANY Cartoon on Nick....I wish they would bring it back...

Completely agree with Mr. ESC. These new shows are WAY better then what we had back in the day. And don't forget Fairly Odd Parents too.

It's a little wild and little strange, when you make your home out on the range...

Salute your Shorts was my fav!!!

I also liked Are you Afraid of the Dark. On the cartoon side...nothing beat Rocko's Modern Life and Batman the Animated Series. Kid's these days have nothing but crap to watch, I feel sorry for em. I was flipping channels and ran across a new Batman cartoon. Batman The Brave and the Bold. Dear god it looked awful.

Just thought I'd throw my hat in for Salute Your Shorts and Hey Dude. I'm sure I would facepalm if I tried to watch them now. Pete & Pete is definitely a classic though.

As far as current shows, at 24 I'll admit I enjoy Sponge Bob and Fairly OddParents. Jimmy Neutron is pretty fun too, but being a fan of Dexter's Lab I was perturbed for awhile at their use of "boy genius". Avatar is in a completely different league, and while a continuation of the series would be satisfying, it's not often you get such an awesome show that has an ACTUAL ENDING.

iCarly is from the same creator/writer (Dan Schneider) as 'All That' and 'Keenan & Kel'.

Doug! What about Doug Funny!?

Miley is hot.

Just saying...

Is she the one with the gums?

so true. but i've kind of warmed up to some new kid shows after hanging with my niece.

Justin forgot to mention: "tell them you have toys and candy.in your van."

damn, i still havent beaten the hannah montana game yet.

Joystiq,

You forgot #7, kill self for being a childless adult who knows what an iCarly is.

Your pal,
Scott

Press release + the only thing Wikipedia is good for (pop culture encyclopedia) = unwanted knowledge permanently burned into your brain.

Doesn't Sony make that? or was it an iTouch Carly?

Er...

iCarly is the best show ever.

SLOW FUCKING NEWS DAY?

Shit article.
