Noby Noby Boy’s Girl arrives at Uranus

Last week, Noby Noby Boy players reached another milestone by touching Uranus.

The 2009 Noby Noby Boy was a weird creation of Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi, which let players control and stretch out BOY, a funny-looking quadruped creature. That stretched length would then get aggregated from all players and set to GIRL, the critter’s counterpart, to stretch out into a simulated-to-scale universe.

While it’s less of a game and more of a toy, it’s clear people are still playing it and stretching out their BOYs. And frequently, to boot. Check it out: At its closest point to Earth, Uranus is 2,570,000,000 miles from Earth. It would take a modern spacecraft over five years to get there, but Noby Noby Boy players did it in less than two.

The next planet out is Neptune, which is 2,734,033,245 miles away, or an additional 1,137,109,281 miles from Uranus.

Good luck, Noby Noby Boy players!

    I haven't stretched my boy in a long time.

    I haven't either. I think my boy's total length is far below average at this point.

  3. Maverick's Avatar Maverick says:

    I've always been told my boy's length is a good size.

  4. faits's Avatar faits says:
