Don’t get mad, Mr. Glove.

“Hello, sir. I hope you’re not feeling mad at anybody today,” laughed Vlad the Viking as he stepped into the Hair Club of Spy Island. He’d found another new friend to make as usual.

“Good day, Vlad! Nope, that’s just my name: Mad Glove. Would you like to go out to the BAD Bistro for lunch after a quick game of Soupwords?” replied the spiky, orange-haired boy standing near the entrance of the building. He put his hand to his chin, as if he were about to challenge Vlad to a game. This would make a great picture!, thought the Viking, as he raised his camera. FLASH! Vlad laughed again as he tucked his new photo into an album, to put into his blog later.

“Cool camera,” commented Mad Glove. “Thanks,” replied Vlad, “And yes, I’d love to go to the bistro with you. Spaghetti for the win!” 

When Vlad got back home, he took out the photo he’d taken of his new friend and smiled. Then he booted up his computer and typed in a new entry into his blog:

In this installment of Snapshot Sagas, I went on a trip to the Hair Club on Spy Island. While wandering around near the entrance I met another great Poptropican named Mad Glove! Congratulations Mad Glove, you are the newest Poptropican featured on Snapshot Sagas!

Keep watching for my viking hat and beard, you may be the next Poptropican featured on Snapshot Sagas!

And that ends another Snapshot Saga with Vlad the Viking. Remember to check out thy King’s announcement below, too.

And in honor of Earth Day, Poptropica’s Creators have designed a wonderful poster that encourages us to protect the planet! There goes the AK Island rocket, zooming round Earth!

Astro-Knights Island, Sneak Peeks

Behold, my subjects!

“Behold, my subjects. It is I, the royal King of Astro-Knights Island, with my royal wife the Queen. My name is Arthur, and this is thy Queen Guinevere. Servants, please fetcheth me a glass of water! *ahem* First and foremost we shall announceth a new advertisement in our lands: Hatching Pete can be found to the left and right, wherever you steppeth. Next, we shall be recruiting new knights for our Astro Army soon, when our land shall becometh available to the public. Please prepareth thyselves; there shall be dragons and rockets in this adventure! Lastly, we wisheth you a happy Earth Day which is on the 22nd of April. Please maketh sure that thy keepeth this planet safe and green, by recycling and preventing pollution. That is all. Thank thee for listening.”

The King rolls up his speech scroll, and he and the Queen make their way back to their majestic thrones.

Blog Post Title: Royal

Please note that the above speech was made up, but I do hope you enjoyed it. :mrgreen:

Thank you, GoldenStar, for the advertisement alert. According to GoldenStar, there is a “[Disney’s] Hatching Pete” advertisement on the sides of the screen (as in side bars). Thank you Cheerful Claw for suggesting (in an earlier post) that Astro-Knights may be related with the King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table legends, and to GoldenStar again for pointing out that the royal couple shown above may be King Arthur and Queen Guinevere, the names of the king and queen in the Knights of the Round Table legends. And of course, it’s Earth Day soon [thanks, Graham]!

I Am The Master

I Am The Master… I Know Kung Fu!

Oh really? Now you can show how cool you are with April 2009’s Poptropica T-shirt for week #3!

Director D says:

You’ve spent years training to be a Kung Fu Master, but how will anyone know how awesome you are unless you are wearing a shirt that tells them?

We’ve added a new shirt to our store. Enjoy!

Does this look familiar? This little ninja was featured in PHB Sneak Peek #8, as well as being featured in another Poptropica T-shirt – I’m Awesome. I hope the ninja will actually visit Poptropica someday.

Crumbled Castle

With Astro-Knights, anything can turn into a mess. Check out this new sneak peek:

Blog Post Title: What a Mess!
Description: I decided to venture inside the damaged building only to find more damaged walls and a bigger mess. What happened here?

Some people think that the UFO may have crashed here, because of this sneak peek. Golden Eagle noticed that this was similar to this other sneak peek. What do you think? Share your thoughts by commenting here!

Remember to take a look at all the other posts below. There’s been a lot of AK Island sneak peeks lately, and don’t forget to try the newly-discovered PHB Dr. Hare Glitch!

Astro-Knights Island, Sneak Peeks

Excalibur’s Fate

Whiz, whiz, whiz…

Excalibur, Hazmat Hermit’s spaceship, is whizzing across outer space as we speak. It just escaped a black hole (Danger Danger!), but unfortunately the controls have just stopped working. “Oh boy…” the hermit thinks desperately. He grabs his cell phone and dials his friend’s number. “Binary Bard! Can you hear me??” he yells. A faint voice replies from the other end: “…crashed… stranded… dangerous helmet-fish…”  The phone clicks dead. “WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!” cries HH in frustration. “Excalibur isn’t working, I don’t know where I’m going, Binary Bard’s not making any sense, my phone’s dead, and to top that all off, there’s a brown place up ahead that it looks like I’m about to crash into -”

Bang.
Excalibur just crash-landed side-first into a pool of mud. Its top, which is made of glass, now has cracks in it. The spaceship’s base is dirty. From inside the UFO, Hazmat Hermit grunts, trying to heal his wounds. “Ugh! What a mess I’m in! I bet my UFO got too near the black hole, and now it’s in bad shape.” He tries to get up, but slips and gets stuck in the mud. “Oh, could this day get any worse?”

Blog Post Title: Stuck in the Mud
Description: There’s plenty to worry about on Astro-Knights Island. Things are falling right out of the sky! I may have a hazmat suit, but there’s no way I was going to wade through that mud to investigate.

NOTE: The above story is completely fiction. We do not guarantee that the black hole would really wreck your personal rocket on Astro-Knights, or anything else mentioned in the tale. 🙂
