How (NOT) To Play iSketch.

Posted: August 7, 2011 in Uncategorized

iSketch is a wonderful game. Its a bit like Pictonary, but online, with a choice of words long enough to span the globe. BUT, there’s the right way to play, and the WRONG way to play.

Here’s a correct example of how to play (courtesy of @PunkerTY). Here, the word/phrase is “Beaver Cleavage” (note: we’re using the Pro Wrestling wordlist, which is fucking shit. StoneBold Stunner, REALLY!?) and as you can see, the drawing is of a beaver with a cleavage. Clever right?

This is a perfect example of the RIGHT way to play iSketch. Draw it literally, say what you see, hope its right.

Here are just a few of the many, MANY wrong ways to play iSketch.

1.Literally drawing the word/phrase.
Seriously, CUT THAT SHIT OUT! It takes away from the game, and if you can’t draw the phrase you’ve been given, FUCKING SKIP, ASSHOL! Fair enough, there’s doing a bit of writing to explain a typo, or a sounds like or if its relative to the given subject (like a PPV poster) but FOR FUCKS SAKE STOP WRITING THE BASTARD ANSWERS!

2. Drawing misleading or confusing stuff.

The subject is Mike Awesome. Mike Awesome hung himself in 2005/6. The artist has opted to draw, well, you can see for yourself. Now, when people see a hangman, what are they going to answer with? That’s right, MIKE AWESOME HANGMAN! It takes a while for things to cotton on and make you think “hang on” (no pun intended). You’ve tried every variation of the phrase ‘hangman’ so you ask for a hint, then it snaps (no pun). You think of wrestlers who have hung themselves, and the first one that springs to mind? MIKE AWESOME! Its a funny “I see what you did there” moment, but it takes ages and pisses off the people who don’t get it (read: everybody).

3. Drawing dicks.

Steveiously, CUT THAT SHIT OUT! If you don’t know the word, skip. If you’re going to troll, fuck off. Everybody playing now hates you and wants you dead. Is that what you want?! People wanting you dead!? Yes? Well, get your head checked, sunshine.

4.Dicks can be useful at times…

The phrase? Dick Togo. This is the best example I can think of that involves a drawing of a winkle used as correctly as a drawing of a winkle can be in regards to a game of iSketch. There’s a dick, and a sounds like pogo. Obviously, some mong is going to say “DICK POGO STICK!” trying to be funny and oh-so-literal, but that’s the wrong answer. Dick Togo is the correct answer and the artist is a very clever anon indeed.

5. Being too vague.

For goodness sake. You don’t know who Dick Togo is. All you know is that he’s a man. What do you do? DRAW A MAN! That way, everybody will know the answer, right? WRONG! WRONG! WRONG WRONG WRONG! All the other players see is a badly drawn stick figure. Clearly, all the other players are in a state of anger and confusion. Do everybody a favour and skip the godfuckingdamn word next time! Being vague in your pictures is a sure fire way to get everybody hating on you. Yes, the haters are gonna hate, and dey be hatin’ on you, asshol.

6. Drawing something completely unrelated.

God I hate this. All the other players hate it too. The artist doesn’t know the word, so he doesn’t skip, he just draws. He draws a masterpiece (in his own mind) which wastes time, costs points, denies other people who could actually draw something the chance to become the artist (formally known as Prince), and all in all PISSES US THE FUCK OFF! It’s a cute cat, but HOW THE HELL IS A CAT RELATED TO DICK FUCKIN’ TOGO!?

Not only that, the current Pro Wrestling wordlist is naff. Here’s a few gems.
Stonebold Stunner.
Candace michelle
Sweetchin Music
WCW Halloween Havock
Mat Hardy
Blue Sweater (ALWAYS wrestling related.)
Scottie to hotty.
Eric Bishoff
Tripel H.
And everybody’s favourite…
...Hell in the cage.

Play safe, everyone!
