Play Scribblenauts off, keyboard cat

by JC Fletcher { Jun 4th 2009 at 2:30PM }

While trying to stump 5TH Cell's Scribblenauts, it was suggested to us that we should try typing some Internet memes into the game's interface and see if they'd materialize. Our first experiment: Longcat. As it turns out, Longcat is in the game ... and he's looooooong. Equally long, but not pictured, is Longcat's nemesis Tacgnol. Seriously.

Get ready to declare your game of the show after the break. You'll forget all about Splinter Creed or whatever once you see the player character, sitting in a mech, next to a mecha, watching 5TH Cell's creative director breakdance to the musical stylings of ... Keyboard Cat.

Anybody notice that the rock formation on the right of the first picture looks an awful lot like a giant erect schlong?
It has already begun...

Ten Dolla Bill

Well that just looks terrible.
Joystiq hates teh ASCII art :-(

Captain Planet @ Jun 4th 2009 2:37PM

I miss read it as "Play Psychonauts".

=(

Captain Planet @ Jun 4th 2009 2:39PM

I miss read it again as "Play Policenauts".

=(

ArchiGamer @ Jun 4th 2009 2:49PM

I think all that pollution has made harder for you to see. Work hard on that.

NoughtSoClever @ Jun 4th 2009 2:41PM

How many feet tall is long cat? I bet it's OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAND!

Storm Eagle @ Jun 4th 2009 4:22PM

What!? Nine thousand?!

ChaoticTails @ Jun 4th 2009 6:21PM

That can't be right!

Roto13 @ Jun 4th 2009 2:43PM

Wow. Just... wow. I'm going to have so much fun with this game. xD

Jimbotron @ Jun 4th 2009 2:43PM

This is a game I have been looking forward to for a while. I love the idea of this game, the cartoony look, and the endless possibilities. I'll be getting this as soon as it's out.

Uncontrol @ Jun 4th 2009 2:45PM

holy crap

Saria the Cat @ Jun 4th 2009 2:45PM

KEYBOARD CAT! That looks like the happiest cat to play music ever. You have made my day. :)

Heh @ Jun 4th 2009 3:17PM

Shame keyboard cat is dead, ain't it?

Saria the Cat @ Jun 4th 2009 3:20PM

... :'(

NoughtSoClever @ Jun 4th 2009 3:21PM

Did he died?

xtremeholymuffin @ Jun 4th 2009 6:01PM

He should have shoot web.

ArchiGamer @ Jun 4th 2009 2:47PM

I just hope that this doesn't go the perverted way....

Donald @ Jun 4th 2009 2:53PM

"We tried those ones as well. They don't work, so get your mind out of the gutter." - paraphrased from Gamespot and @igndotcom

xtremeholymuffin @ Jun 4th 2009 5:03PM

Tell me you guys tried Pedobear....

MLS @ Jun 4th 2009 2:50PM

I love how your character is drowning but it's like "at least we have longcat!"

I am shocked by how successful this game has shown it self to be in what I thought was a laughably impossible feat. I'm still waiting for some catch to appear....

baby sea tuna @ Jun 4th 2009 3:36PM

Totally OT, but I just want to thank you for recommending that Paper Chase album last week. It is fantastic.

MLS @ Jun 4th 2009 4:35PM

No problem :) I've been listening to it a lot as well, and enjoying it.

NaeemTHM @ Jun 4th 2009 2:52PM

There is no WAY this game is as cool as it looks. I mean it's like a Peter Molyneux game actually delivering on all levels!

bongoes @ Jun 4th 2009 3:03PM

Woah this game has everything.

Triscuit @ Jun 4th 2009 3:09PM

Has anyone tried things like "Metroid", "blaster", or "Ganados"? Those would be fun...

Meh @ Jun 5th 2009 4:40AM

NO TRADEMARKED STUFF -> No Metroid :

Ezio Auditore de Firenze [PSN SniperChameleon] @ Jun 4th 2009 3:14PM

what, you guys didn't try giant enemy crabs? weak.

Matt_H @ Jul 31st 2009 9:54AM

I happen to know for a fact that Giant Enemy Crab is in the game. These people are insane.

RossGough @ Jun 4th 2009 3:33PM

what happens if you put the Konami Code in?...

ArchiGamer @ Jun 4th 2009 3:37PM

Kojima appears out of nowhere to help you.

godlovesugly @ Jun 4th 2009 3:49PM

Can 4chan expect a cheque in the post?

deathxrebirth @ Jun 4th 2009 3:52PM

Oh man, this is gonna be fun.

Aside from the obvious "dirty" stuff, did you guys actually stump them? Or did they give a few examples of what won't be possible?

Storm Eagle @ Jun 4th 2009 3:54PM

I can't play the video :(

raFa @ Jun 4th 2009 4:06PM

no naughty things and no brands, people.

This video of Scribblenauts is particularly amusing.

God vs. Kraken

A fight to the death!

aj @ Jun 5th 2009 1:29AM

I wonder what happens if you have a God vs. Richard Dawkins flamethrower fight in the game?

HotLimit @ Jun 5th 2009 11:48AM

Hahaha, classic. I hope nobody religious finds out about this. Writing god's name: -10 points, depictions of god: -20 points. Depictions of god whaling on a giant sea creature? They'd probably let that slide.

Speaking of whaling, where's Moby Dick and a harpoon? I didn't see anyone trying out their 'myriads' of pre-programmed interactions.
