Invincible or Immortal makes the holder invincible to all weapons, including guns, black hole, and even Death. The wielder of this adjective can only be killed.
The more I think about the game, the more hyped I get. At first I thought you draw stuff to interact with because of the name, but this comes with more possibilities and is easier to fool around with. Great impressions. This is the first game I can think of to use actual AI (although simple) that isn't a board game. And it's been put to a good use, respect.I'm not so sure that the Internet memes will stay in, perhaps they've been put in just for the show.
I don't think the average player needs things like NeoGAF and Rawmeat Cowboy in this game. The more I think about the game, the more hyped I get.

Internet - While we thought the developer wouldn't bother including something as intangible as the intarwebs, entering the word actually spawns a little computer. A little adorable computer.
Scribblenauts 1,. 0.2. Tattoo - How could the game possibly render a piece of body art? By spawning a sheet of temporary tattoos, of course. Clever, Scribblenauts. Very clever.3. Air - How could you even tell if the game spawned air?
Inputting this word creates a tiny puff of air that, when dragged and dropped, is absorbed into the surrounding air. Molecule - No object is too small for Scribblenauts' vocabulary.
We entered molecule, and received a tiny model of a molecule in turn.5. Scribblenauts - Instead of causing the game to become self-aware, an event that would certainly lead to the destruction of mankind, entering Scribblenauts causes the original character model for Maxwell, the game's protagonist, to appear.6. Narwhal - Not only did it cause a horn-touting whale to appear, but we were able to ride atop its back, crossing the liquid divide between us and a Starite. Lutefisk - Sure enough, a bright white fish appeared and began to flop around the level. Oddly enough, a previously spawned Santa Claus ran up and ate the Lutefisk.
He must have a cast-iron stomach.8. Plumbob - No dice! The game's lead designer was hanging over our shoulder as we entered in this unrecognized word. Mahjong solitaire guru games online.
He quickly asked what it was, pulled out his phone and feverishly sent some unknown party a text message. 'Okay,' he said.
'It'll be in the final product.' Stanchion - The bulk of us actually thought this word was made up - but Scribblenauts managed to spawn a weight-bearing post, which is apparently what a stanchion is.10. Upon entering., the game brought up the spell check menu, asking us if we meant to spell 'Joystick.' We're willing to count this, but we're hoping 5th Cell can manage to include some representation of our site in the final product.Final score: Scribblenauts: 9,.: 1. Good game, 5th Cell. Good game, indeed.
Okay, I got two pages in, and I'm totally hooked. I'm not reading anymore, because the whole thread in and of itself will turn into a spoiler thread just by existing, and I want to discover these things on my own.My question, and it's probably already been answered, is this is just coming to the DS, right? Is there any technical reason why it couldn't come on another platform?
Watching the videos, I didn't see anything that would prevent it from being on say, a PSP, outside of constantly having to pull up a keyboard-but it looks like you do everything on the bottom screen of the DS anyway.An iPhone port of this would sell so many copies.

Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindboggingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.The argument goes something like this: 'I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, 'for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'
'But,' says Athiest, 'Scribblenauts is a dead giveaway, isnt it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you dont. 'Oh dear,' says God, 'I hadnt thought of that,' and promptly vanished in a puff of logic. I had played all the big titles at E3. Private showings of God of War III, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake.
But at 4:00 on Thursday, I was wandering around the show floor, wondering what else I had to see. I saw a small little booth for 'Scribblenauts!' In the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment section. I mean, who goes to that booth? But I remember hearing about it on GAF, and so I decided to check it out.Best game of E3? Without a fucking doubt.
Anyone who says otherwise did not play Scribblenauts. Best game of all time? Jesus Christ, I don't know, maybe. It's a game that challenges your IMAGINATION. No other game has ever done that.So listen to this story. I was in the early levels; I didn't quite have an idea of how ridiculously in-depth the database was.
I was summoning things like ladders, glasses of water, rayguns, what have you. But I reached a level with zombie robots, and the zombie robots kept killing me. Rayguns didn't work, a torch didn't work, a pickaxe didn't work. In my frustration, I wrote in 'Time Machine'.
And one popped up. What the fuck? A smile dawned on my face.
I hopped in, and the option was given to me to either travel to the past or the future. I chose past. When I hopped out, there were fucking dinosaurs walking around.
I clicked one, and realized I could RIDE THEM. So I hopped on a fucking DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the shit out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really?
I FUCKING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERFUCKING ROBOT ZOMBIES. This game is unbelievable. There's nothing you can't do.Holy fucking shit.

Joe Frazier vs. George Foreman, billed as 'The Sunshine Showdown', was a professional boxing match in Kingston, Jamaica contested on January 22, 1973, for the WBA, WBC and The Ring heavyweight championships.[1]
In a matchup of two undefeated future hall-of-famers, undisputed heavyweight champion Joe Frazier and the number one-ranked heavyweight George Foreman reached an agreement in November 1972 for a January title fight at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica. Frazier was 29–0 and had won 10 consecutive heavyweight title fights at the time of his match with Foreman, first winning the NYSAC heavyweight title in 1968 and defending that title four times before knocking out Jimmy Ellis to claim the vacant WBA and WBC titles in 1970 that had been stripped from Muhammad Ali. Frazier's most notable defense would come against Ali himself in what was billed as the 'Fight of the Century'. After defeating Ali by unanimous decision, Frazier captured The Ring heavyweight title and became recognized as the lineal champion. Between his first Ali fight and his bout with Foreman, Frazier successfully defended his title twice against fringe contenders Terry Daniels and Ron Stander. Following his knockout of Stander, Ali attempted to gain a rematch with Frazier, but Frazier ultimately agreed to face Foreman. The undefeated Foreman had accumulated 37 victories in just four years and was ranked number one by both the WBA and WBC at the time of landing his first title match against Frazier.[citation needed]
The fight would last less than two rounds with Foreman scoring a technical knockout at 1:35 of the second round to dethrone Frazier and become the new undisputed heavyweight champion. Foreman brutalized Frazier for the duration of the fight, scoring six knockdowns over the champion. In ABC's television re-broadcast, Howard Cosell made the legendary exclamation: 'Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!' Less than two minutes into the fight, Foreman stunned Frazier with a series of punches and then sent him down to the canvas with a right uppercut. Frazier was able to get back up but Foreman would continue his dominance and with seventeen seconds left in the round, Foreman caught Frazier with an uppercut that brought him to his knees. Shortly after Frazier rose from that knockdown, a combination from Foreman put the champion on his back and he barely made it out of the round.

Frazier went out for the second round but Foreman knocked him down again shortly after the round began with an overhand right. Foreman scored another quick knockdown, and then dropped Frazier a sixth time with a powerful right. By this time Angelo Dundee, who was at ringside scouting the bout, was pleading for the bout to be stopped. Referee Arthur Mercante, Sr. finally called a halt to the bout after the sixth knockdown, and Foreman was declared the winner at 1:35 of the second round, to become, at the time, the third-youngest heavyweight champion in history (after Floyd Patterson and Cassius Clay).[2]
Foreman would successfully defend his titles twice in dominating fashion. First he knocked out José Roman in the first round on September 1, 1973. He would follow this by knocking out another future hall-of-famer in the second round in Ken Norton. Foreman would lose the titles in his third defense, against Muhammad Ali in one of the most famous fights in boxing history dubbed 'The Rumble in the Jungle.'[3]
Frazier would fight seven more times after his first fight with Foreman. He would gain one more chance to recapture the WBA and WBC titles by challenging his rival Ali for a third fight dubbed the 'Thrilla in Manila', but lost when his trainer, Eddie Futch refused to let him come out for the 15th round. Frazier begged Futch to let him continue, and had he gone out for the 15th round, would have been declared the winner as according to Ferdie Pacheco, Ali was begging Angelo Dundee to cut off his gloves, as he didn't want to go out for the 15th round. Frazier's defeat would ultimately lead to a rematch with Foreman in June 1976. In their second fight, Frazier was able to remain more competitive, but Foreman was able to score two further knockdowns and again won by technical knockout, this time in the fifth round.[4] A year later, Foreman lost to Jimmy Young in San Juan, Puerto Rico in a fight to determine the No. 1 contender, and it was after this fight that Foreman had his near-death experience and conversion. He subsequently retired and became a preacher but made a comeback after a decade away from the ring, eventually defeating Michael Moorer to become the oldest heavyweight champion of all time in 1994, at almost 46 years old.[citation needed]
