Drawception

(The game servers are migrating, so I have a moment to write this.)

Seems like drawing games are all the rage right now. First Drawsomething took over the casual people and now I'm hooked to Drawception. It is something between Pictionary and image boards. First one player sets first sentence for the game, like "Batman eats a hotdog". Then the second player draws what s/he thinks the sentence would look like. The third player sees only the drawing and has to describe what on earth is it. Then fourth player draws this and the loop goes on until 12 players have played. Then the end result is shown to everybody and hilarity ensues.

The tools for drawing are very spartan, MS Paint is way more complicated. This makes most pictures look similar style and hilarius. Some times pictures have nothing to do with each other but I have seen some Drawceptions that form a consistent story. There are a few characters that usually survive till the end no matter how crude they are, like Batman, Pikachu and Abraham Lincoln.

Go play it. NOW! http://drawception.com/

Some examples:

Batman usually survives till the bitter end.

Nyan from the beginning till the end!
