This text file is, put simply, a list of every word that is in the fantastic DS game Scribblenauts. It’s potentially the biggest spoiler you can read for the game, although those with no creativity can get something out of seeing the results of some of the words. The greatest joy of this game is typing in a word you think could never be in there and finding that, actually, it is.

To get this list, the game file was broken apart after a leak of the ROM on the webs. Although I’m not going to deny that it’s out there, please buy the game. It’s out now in the US, but it’s not ready for EU release until the 9th of October. Support 5th Cell for having one of the best ideas for a game, let alone a DS game, for a long time. Right, preaching over. You may go about your daily business now.

The term “fanboy” takes a nation by storm. The year, 1919.

Last year, Merriam-Webster recognized “w00t” as their 2007 word of the year. This year the Massachusetts based company has added “fanboy” to the mix along with over one hundred other new entries.

The word fanboy itself is far from new, as Merriam-Webster cites its first use dating back as far as 1919. I wonder what all the fanboys fought about back then?

Fanboy (1919): boy who is an enthusiastic devotee, such as of comics or movies.

While gamers aren’t specifically mentioned in the definition, I have a feeling it won’t be long before 360/PS3/Wii fanboys find themselves arguing which fanboy allegiance was shafted the most by the oversight. Make us proud.
