Much harder to draw with the mouse; I like the splodgy fingerpainting of DS much better. Still, much more interesting topics than DS.

Didn't work at all for me in Firefox; clicking 'Try it out' just reloaded the page. Is it anything like Teledraw?

@le morte de bea arthur, it appears to be exactly the same thing.

I think Eat Poop You Cat is the greatest game in the world, but I do not care for this implementation. So many trolls! So many people who don't write a sentence, but just write the dullest possible description ("its a green truck") of what they see! So many people who think it's OK to draw words! (I see Teledraw suffers from this as well.)

Eat Poop U Cat is the best online implementation of the game I've found. You can even play it on a phone, if you're willing to jump through a few hoops!

Careful; some sketches may be NSFW. (I was a bit surprised to see Kermit railing Miss Piggy from behind as the first sketch given to me.)

I also don't like that games are endless -- if you want to look at your past work, you're in for a lot of scrolling.

This game actually prompted some Internet Generational Exchange in the library this morning. One of my students explained to me why she had to draw a dragon, I explained Trogdor to her.

The lawn, 'tis big enough for all!

Reminds me of the (now mostly dead) The Sentence Game, which I used to love.

Confessor: Zynga just bought the game, I don't think they've had time to Zyngafy it yet. (OMGPOP may have its own issues, though).

Not only that, but this seems to be the first time Zynga has actually spent money buying someone out (I think they actually bought OMGPOP and not just the game) rather than just ripping off the concept and releasing their own shitty version.

iSketch is the best pictionary edition: you can even pick word groups as specific as "Pokemon"
