My friend Zach discovered while playing that when you write in the word "sambo" you get a watermelon and wrote about it in his blog, which then got a bit of attention.. here.http://kotaku.com/5361276/racial-term-in-ds-scribblenauts-unintentional-developer-explains

[Fathom Zero]

It's funny because I always knew Sambo as the Russian martial art. It made me wonder why they translated an intangible concept into a watermelon.

[Dimnos]

Thats classic :lol

[stevetothepast]

I saw this on destructoid, I had no idea sambo was a racist word. I'd never even heard of it before.

[Tadao]

We used to go to a restaurant called Sambo's when I was very young. It was like a Denny's but with extremely racist wall paper.

[Aimless]

I had no idea it was a racist term until I met zach and he introduced me to the sambo smilie. (I assure you, he's not a racist)

The worst is when you type in "slope".

[Aimless]

hmmm. interesting.



Would you like me to have sambo when you come over for dinner?

[Dimnos]

The worst is when you type in "slope".

In Scribblenauts? Whats it do? :lol

[Microshock]

Once again, people TRY to be offended by some shit. It's a game, you dont want to see a watermelon, dont type sambo apparently.

[stevetothepast]

[darkvare]

[Microshock]

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

You're the best. :)

[LordSappington]

What if you put 'pi'?

[Aimless]

I am thoroughly impressed.





... and you're the best, Volty <3

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Aww, thanks. :)

[Zomboid]

shutupshutupshutupshutup

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

You..uh..going to do something about it Canuck?

[MarioRPG]

Wow. That seems like a pretty weak link, especially for something I've never heard of.

What if you put 'pi'?
This I want to know.

[darkvare]

if you write pi the game asks if you wanted to write poi, paci or pawi

[darkvare]

here's the complete list if you wanna check it out

[Tadao]

No LSD?

Gay!

[executioneer]

youtube video

they missed "lolwut" and "tacgnol"

also they neglected to show the reaction a "walrus" has when you summon a "bucket" near it and then take it

i mean come on internet meme jerks when i'm better at thinking fo that shit than you, you're not doing good at what you do

also: shaggoth :eek

[Tadao]

Ahahaha walrus/bucket would be awesome!

I looked for all kinds of drugs on that list, what the hell, are drugs not cool anymore?

[Ant10708]

they don't have the word cookies but santa loves cookies

[Tadao]

If you put down a rooster and a cat, will they fall in love?

[darkvare]

you can summon cookie for santa and milk works too

[Durrsomething]

You can have an athiest kill god with a bazooka......

And have a Trex eat a baby.....

Christ this game is dark :)

[bigtimecow]

it kind of bothers me that they allow religious figures and what not, and no one's having a problem with that. not that i think there's a problem, but people are freaking out about a racial slur i've never heard of

[executioneer]

they don't have "GOD" god, it's more of a generic god. they don't let you do "jesus" for example

[stevetothepast]

do they have whatshisname mohammed or whatever the muslim thing or whatever. you all know what I mean. south park did it or whatever.

[Durrsomething]

You can put a watermelon or fried chicken next to a "rapper", and watch him/her run after it and eat it.....


Man, 5th Cell's next game HAS to be ratted M, I mean imagine "Scribblenauts: Unrated".


It would be like playing a Jomb hack

[Ant10708]

you can summon cookie for santa and milk works too
really?

when i typed in 'cookies' it gave me a few suggestions and did not include cookie. weird

[Tadao]

cookie is on the list. maybe you found a bug were if you add an s to cookie it doesn't know what to do.

[Dimnos]

YOU GET ONLY ONE!

[Ant10708]

How the fuck do I power the car and get going?

gas, oil, mechanic(with various tools), and engine all don't work and it doesn't have jumper cables in the game >:

[Tadao]

Try to summon Mexican and Screwdriver.

[executioneer]

i think i did wire + battery

[darkvare]

i wired the car to the electric pole

[MarioRPG]

also they neglected to show the reaction a "walrus" has when you summon a "bucket" near it and then take it


Hahah oh if only.

[executioneer]

no, seriously. if you summon a walrus, and summon a bucket, the walrus will be all "heart" at the bucket, then you take the bucket and it attacks you

[Aaarg]

is there a game involved or is it just typing random words and being entertained by seeing what you typed?

because goddamn, i've been thinking of random words and then animating them in my head for over 20 years now and i didn't need no stinking stylus to do it with!

[executioneer]

there's puzzles to solve!

[Aaarg]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, ok.

are they difficult at all? or is it, like, a door with a padlock on it and you have to type "KEY" or "LOCKPICK" and it's done?

[executioneer]

some of them are really hard? there's a few levels i've had to skip

[Sam]

I used a kangaroo to get a baby back to a king :eek

[darkvare]

if you use a teleporter you can find 3 extra levels

[Chojin]

i tried to use a teleporter to transport a sheep once, and ended up in 5th cell's office

then i killed them all with a chainsaw and stole their car

[LordSappington]

My favorites so far:
Cthulhu
Inferno
LHC
Antimatter
Quark
Leviathan
God + helmet + axe
Vampire, who can turn God into a zombie
And I think it's Maxwell or something that makes a clone of him.

[MarioRPG]

Ugh I just want to mess around with this game.

[executioneer]

well then d/l the rom and an emulator

[Tadao]

:o I forgot about that.

[LordSappington]

If you find a good link, feel free to share it. :rock

[Tadao]

I found a rapid share easily but I ca't seem to work any emulators.

[executioneer]

i think the one i used was called no$gba, or something, and you have to adjust the storage rom or something to 64k. i'll check when i get off work :(

[Ant10708]

or get a job so you can easily afford a $30 ds game

[Tadao]

or not.

[executioneer]

i'm not buying a ds for one game, thanks

plus: h8 portable gaming

[darkvare]

is not worth the money anyways
