Pretty cool. Just finished my first couple of turns, after adding mik due to his podcast begging and a desire to try something new on my new iPad.

Wow is it cool. Add me. I'm Sickboyp1p

I didn't realize it animated your drawing. How embarrassing

[thegreenburrito]

If there is one thing this game has shown me, its that I can't finger paint for shit!

But willing to take new games any time, i'm "thegreenburrito" on there.

My drawings are horrible, you've been warned

[BigSpud]

I suspect mik's regretting begging for doodlepals with some of the garbage I've sent him. Though I give him massive props for fathoming my Bruce Lee.

Feel free to come sketch-me-up at roast_potato.

[TheKurichan]

Thekurichan I will play with you.

Yeah, I'd feel slightly less embarrassed of my art on an ipad, but drawing on my iphone, ugh. Curse these large fingers

I wish i had known that it showed your failed attempts at the word. I thought you had to submit the answer, not that it showed everything you do to the other player. One game i was guessing a 3 letter word,and the letters for sex were in there, so i put it in before the drawing was even finished. The next drawing i got from the other player was "you want sex?" i dropped that game.

I've also had a few lame games where the person just writes the word they want you to guess.

It's still a lot of fun though.

Edit: I don't pick up my ipad as much as i used to though so sometimes it's a day or two between my awesome drawingzzzz.

If I don't get any penis drawings I will be sad!

[MojoBox]

I've been playing lately, and it's a hell of a lot of fun. While I am a competent artist, I am also a guitarist and my fingers are lumps of sensation-less fleshy mass and are completely unsuited for finger drawing

I've just been using my Facebook account, if I get around to setting up username i'll post it later.

One thing that's a little frustrating about the game is that it can be difficult to determine who's who because some people are identified by username while others are identified by real names and it seems as though there's no way to determine what a person's username is if they use their real name.

The game also loses a little bit of the Pictionary fun in that there is no communication during the drawing process. There have been times when I've drawn images where I think something funny has happened and likewise when I'm watching other people draw. However, there is no real opportunity to share those funny moments so they sort of fade away.

But I'm really loving the game and probably wouldn't complain if I hadn't wanted to test out the dictation feature on this iPad.

Which is reasonably accurate by the way.

Please take into account that I am from Austalia, and might not know certain words related to the states.

I just randomly guessed peeps, but still don't know what they are.

Peeps are little marshmellow candy that arrive right around easter. They are shaped like ducks or rabbits, I believe, and are coated with some sugar. They are very much a hate it/love it kind of thing. I can't say I've met to many people who think peeps are just ok.


By the way I think that was my drawing, so hopefully it looked like a tiny marshmellow filled duck!

[TheKurichan]

Yeah that was yours, nothing wrong with the drawing, if I knew what peeps were I would have got it straight away, anyway lucky guess.

[mik]

Peeps are delicious. The key is to let them sit out in the open air until the outsides get slightly hard.

[SickBoy]

Honestly, I can almost never resist the hardest words. My friends and I, when we ever "play" Pictionary, don't use the board or traditional time limit and instead use only the hardest clues in a free-for-all. I dig the challenge, but sometimes I realize I've bitten off a lot. And there's no redirecting your audience if they're on the wrong path.

I had the same problem with a yellow bottle that had "French's" written on it. Apparently it's mustard.

Seconded. Best way to eat them.

[kakitamike]

Had an idiot moment today on this game. After being crushed my mik's art skills, i thought i'd full color a background for the next viable picture i got.

Went to start the actual foreground, and spent maybe 30 seconds trying to find the color white.

[SickBoy]

I don't think Boblious got the Big Lebowski reference when I got "rug"

[momerath]

That's a shame, I'm guessing it really tied the drawing together.

[SickBoy]

I thought so. Although my lack of artistic talent may have been a minor issue

[Boblious]

I've never seen the big Lebowski, however I did find your drawing to be entertaining!

[Owozifa]

Owozifa

I like drawing things.

[TheKurichan]

Damn, I could't figure out sickboy's drawing and it timed out cause I left it over night!

[famousmortimer]

So evidently the CEO of this company is a bigger asshole than the company they got bought out by.


A lot of well intentioned people are deleting the game and whatnot. I don't blame them, I guess. But I already paid my 99 cents. Stopping now doesn't change anything on their end. In fact, if any of the online stuff is on their servers it eases their burden.

So i'm gonna draw more pictures of dicks.




And this is another episode of pete dodd rationalizes stuff.

Yeah, it was real dickish thing to say on behalf of the CEO. But he has come out and apologised, trying to explain what he meant. Some would say damage control, and for sure, there will be that element. But given that I'm not really fully aware of the situation or know the people, it's really easy to judge, and make one guy a bad guy without knowing the full story.

I think I'll keep playing it, as my it's one of the only games I can play with my Mum (and also SuperPac and other P1P guys).

I'm not going to download Shay's game though.

[famousmortimer]

I'm friendly with shay, he is an incredibly kind guy. I got connectrode when it first was released, it's a fun game.


I understand zynga having strict contracts, and I understand shay not wanting to work for them. I came out of that whole thing with even more respect for shay but I didn't think any less of zynga (they clearly aren't the only company that does that... Most do). But once the CEO of omgpop, who is now fucking rich and should be happy... Turned into a petty bitch and called shay one of his worst employees (which we aren't there but that's hard to believe... Connectrode proves he has talent AND passion) well that's when I had someone to lose respect for. I think he knows he sold out and shay has kinda shined a light on that and he acted like a two year old. So fuck him.


None of this outrages me enough to boycot shit or anything, it just shades my opinions of people. I think shay comes out of this pretty close to a hero, zynga comes out looking like a big soulless company (which is what we all thought anyway - it's not really a negative) and the OMGPOP CEO comes out looking like a petulant child.

[TheKurichan]

Oh the irony.

Also fuck the iPad camera!

Might not have been the best rendition, but I don't know that I could've done much more.

I feel like my drawings are getting consistently sloppier

[Owozifa]

Boblious has managed my longest streak. We're like in the mid 30s. I am already a bad doodler, and the iPhone makes me even worse. I have tried to pick up techniques from watching you others draw, but alas when I apply them it looks more like cat throw up.

My Scooby Doo was particularly terrifying and I wish I would have screen capped it.

[Boblious]

Owozifa, I hope you haven't just put the mockers on it!

[Owozifa]

Apparently I didn't, but what one almost spelled doom?

[famousmortimer]

That was the worst drawing i've ever seen in my life, which in a way is really impressive. I have no idea how i got it. I think I just noticed the letters or something.

Thanks. I think.

Ha ha, sorry Mik, you must have been like WTF, to be honest I wasn't paying enough attention and my error didn't dawn on me until I saw you try to write asterisk (but there wasn't enough spaces!) fuck I am retarded.

Nice to see Juanster joining me in the can't speak English stakes.

[Owozifa]

Many thanks to Boblious for getting us this far. He's pretty great at this game. I have sated my curiosity that the counter goes no higher.

[Jindofox]

Just added the lot of you, because I wanted one more distraction. Jindofox
