E309: Scribblenauts DS settles Kraken vs. God vs. Keyboard Cat debate

It's been far too long since I last mentioned 5th Cell's puzzler/adventure game Scribblenauts, where -- as I mentioned last December -- your goal is to collect 'Starites' by conjuring, well, essentially almost any object to help traverse the landscape, as seen in the game's latest trailer above.

Over the past 7 months, 5th Cell has continued to up the ante on its gimme-an-object-any-object promise (enlisting artists like Pirate Baby Cabana Battle's Paul Robertson to help quick-draw new additions), and how well does it work?

Well, from the show floor video above, pretty stunningly well, only failing out on the Nintendorks' fairly reasonable request for Obama, but managing to pit a jackalope, a stegosaurus, a kraken, God (and, anecdotally, Death [Death killed God!]), and Einstein against each other.

UPDATE: Tiny Cartridge and Joystiq writer JC Fletcher updates with a picture of not just keyboard cat playing the Scribblenauts level off, but also feline cohort meme Longcat stretching into the sky.

The only thing the game is really, really missing is SD card support for the DSi.

Imagine if you could download updates of topical items.

The best bit is how the dude looks like Freeman when he gets the crowbar.
