Gordon Freeman in Scribblenauts

#1

I’m sure alot of gamers here who followed E3 a bit heard about a game called Scribblenauts, where the player can type nearly any word into the DS and be able to use it in the game.

Well, watching an interview with the developers, I noticed they used a veeeeery familiar word as a weapon.

Wait until around 1:23 in the video to see its greatness

Could we expect more half-life references? Headcrab, perhaps? Or Combine? I know they’re kinda copyrighted, but I think Valve is a cool enough company to allow this if the developers planned this.

The character is using a common household tool for a weapon, so it obviously must be a half-life reference.

Whats this…hold on, word has just come in that players in Modern Warfare 2 will be able to use MP5’s and other real-world military weapons, which is an obivious reference to Half-Life.

#3

Yes, of all the things to spawn, in a video game, they picked a crowbar. Not to mention that the main character is wearing an orange suit and black rimmed glasses at that time too.

You’re absolutely right. Obviously not a reference to Half-Life.

#4

Did you see the character? Beard, Glasses, Yellow Suit with Orange overtones…

Can’t a man dream?

#5

I always am

The only game that I know of that references gordAn is Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.

#6

Master Chef, you are retarded.

That is all.

#7

Don’t mess with Master Chef. He is the EPIC FAIL GUY. He will ruin this thread. Oh noes! :fffuuu::fffuuu::fffuuu::fffuuu::fffuuu:

#8

He already did. Like he does with every threads he posts in.

#9

I don’t think it is a reference to Half-Life. You can summon watermelons too, so I just think it is a side effect of how many choices are offered.

If you could summon the gravity gun, that would be an entirely different story.

It could be a reference to Half-Life, but if it is, it’s not an obvious one.

#10

We already have a scribblenauts thread…

#11

you all seem to forgetting me

#12

I would LOL if you could spawn an H.E.V suit or a headcrabXD

#13

Dude, it’s actually Black Mesa DS what they are making. With 9001% moar crowbars.

#14

Mmmm… Craowbars…:rabies:

#15

I’m gonna get that, then write Arnold Schwarzanagger. See how it handles that!

#16

I’m gonna write Chuck Norris.

Instant 9001% completion.

#17

I’d hope if you’d type Chuck Norris it would just go black screen and say some shit like:
“Error… To… Much… Awesomeness…”

#18

Who needs a Crow Bar when you can spawn a Raven Saloon?

#19

Well, he said that proper names, copyrighted names, and vulgar words will not work…
