Doodle or Die

I found out about Doodle or Die earlier this week and I have been returning to it every night for kicks and giggles. If you don’t know what DoD is, it’s basically a version of telephone, but with pictures and descriptions that alternate between anonymous users. It’s great. It was created by a group of Redditers, so the community there is pretty strong. There are trolls that come by that kill chains, but there are still some amazing and funny things that go on.

The developers are busy updating the website and adding new features. They seem to be taking in lots of feedback from the community. Pretty soon we’ll even have the color PINK!

This is an example of what the drawing interface looks like. Here, the description of the subject to draw is at the top, canvas on the left, and tools on the right. It’s fairly minimal right now, but the other day you didn’t even have the option of choosing between these many brushes.

After you submit your drawing, someone else is randomly chosen to make a caption for your piece. This is actually the first piece that I put some effort into, so I do feel like sharing it a little. :B

Anyways, I wanted to share some of the funny ones I see on reddit. Below are some that I’d like to share. Note that some of these contain offensive content.

And of course, when I attempt to draw something nice again, DoD breaks. I got an error when trying to submit. When I clicked okay, my drawing disappeared. When I refreshed the page, I got a 500 error. Luckily I screen capped beforehand. I knew something would go wrong!
