I seriously still have no idea what the hell is going on in Noby Noby Boy. But I'm coming to terms with that.
There we go. That oughta clear everything up!Noby Noby Boy continued to confound the hell out of me when, earlier today, BOY stretched out enough to allow GIRL to make her trek from the Earth to the Moon, just four days after the game's US release. Do not take that last sentence to mean that I am in the middle of having a stroke. This is just how Noby Noby Boy rolls. If you've neither experienced Noby Noby Boy for yourself, nor watched our anti-informative quick look video, allow me to clarify. While Noby Noby Boy claims to have no overt objectives, there is a collective meta-game that underlies all of the action. As players around the globe stretch out their BOYs, they all contribute to the length of GIRL. As GIRL stretches out across the galaxy and reaches new heavenly bodies, new levels in the game are unlocked.
Hmm. Reading back over that clarification, it's probably not much clearer. Think of it like a shared, virtual Stretch Armstrong where, the more everyone pulls on his limbs, the...OK, that analogy's not really working out either. I guess, just...there's a new level for Noby Noby Boy available. It's The Moon. There are people and dogs wearing spacesuits, there are penguins, there are fish, there are ambulatory crescent moons. Perhaps most exasperatingly, there are MOTHER-EFFING MOONS ROLLING AROUND ON THE MOON.
Next stop is Mars. I don't know that I'll still be able to write cogent sentences by then.

Ryan, I regret to inform you that GIRL has not made it to the Moon. Â It's actually a conspiracy by NASA and the government in order to beat the Russians in the Cold War.
You can go back to writing cogent sentences again. Â Thank you.
I just bought this game after having a Killzone 2 session and playing SFIV and Lost & Damned all night yesterday and I think this thing just broke my brain.
That's actually a pretty cool feature. But my question is, once Girl makes to the Sun will we have to turn all the way around and head back to the other planets?
AAHHHHHH!!!!! the more you guys talk about this game the more i want to buy it and try it out for myself!!! and im trying to save up money too!!! NO NO NO, im not gonna do it, im not giving in...........
"Does Soulja Boy have a PS3? He may be the only one that can decipher the meaning of this game."
I agree. Â I mean, we've already seen a game for those who like to drink and get drunk or smoke weed and get high...but what does Noby Noby Boy bring to the table that is new to that formula?
I think the guy who created this game was on mushrooms or something. I haven't watched the quick look yet but it sounds like I need to so I can lose my mind with everyone else.
"so does a late downloader start with access to everything the community has opened already? Hmm, odd indeed."
Yep, seems that way. Levels are unlocked as a community, so the more people play the faster new worlds become available. Late downloaders will get access to all the worlds that have been unlocked, but if you buy it sooner you can help unlock them sooner. :)
If I'm understanding this correctly, then NobyNobyBoy could be the most innovative game to be released in a while.Well, that is, if the gameplay itself looked appealing in the slightest. But the premise, that's just genius.
