Steamworks Island available with Membership on August 12!
~—~
Continuing Binary Bard’s new friendship with the strange sprocket from the upcoming Steamworks Island, he tried some different approaches…
Getting to know you
The robot and I eyed one another warily. It seemed we were each waiting for the other to make the first move. After a few moments of awkward silence, I attempted to break the ice with a joke.
“Why was six afraid of seven?” I asked.
(Dramatic pause.)
“Because seven eight nine!”
Success! The robot grinned. Clearly he was programmed to understand humor. Maybe he was capable of other emotions, as well.
Perhaps this little robot would be impressed, or even moved, by the arts. I don’t often admit this, but I’ve got something of a background in dance (three years of jazz, six years of modern). Hoping to entrance the robot with my charm and grace, I busted out some acrobatic maneuvers, finishing with a flurry of high-leg kicks.
Not exactly the reaction I was hoping for.
Pride got the better of me. “I’d like to see you do better!” I huffed. “Stupid robot.”
And then, well — the robot did something better.
It’s a nice robot and all, but don’t forget that it has feelings too – and you don’t want to hurt it!

cool first comment
GRRRRR! The creators LIED! September 9th is so not summer! I thought it was supposed to come out earlier! And whoever hacked the Poptropica Help xat is going to wish they never did pretty soon! Cool post, anyway, the robot is so cute!
Well… yeah cute robot…
Well,they’re not us… they can’t understand what summer is for us kids… they’re adults 😐
“Why was six afraid of seven?”
a not-so-funny joke…
Here’s one:Why do golfers wear two pants? Incase they have a hole in one. 😀
Yeah, even I can think of a better one?
When is the bset time to go to the Dentist?
Tooth-hurty.
Or 2:30 for those from real linda.
LOL yeah. *pictures Binary Bard dancing and shudders*
Cause 7 8(ate) 9.
I wouldn’t have laughed at that! I wonder if it has a rolling eyes expression?
By the way, will the guide come out during member time or after?
Hijuyo: We’ll have a guide up as soon as possible, whenever that may be. 🙂
yay it;s not like we have to wait 3 months before we play. just 1!
I LOL’ed at “And then… Well he did something better.” xD
WHAT? September 9TH!? You have got to be kidding! I’ll be up to my eyes in homework by then! grrr…. *sulks*
ME 2 D’:
it looks like the sprocket has feelings!! :O
@Smiles115: September 9 is still technically summer, season-wise 😉
clearly the robot was not programmed to have a GOOD sense of humor…
Well the robot just learned that joke!
I think that is when school starts.
The island will be released for members on August 12th… that’s my birthday! Too bad I don’t have a membership yet…
Maybe, your mum or dad might give you Poptropica Membership to activate the memebrship.
August 12th is first day of Middle School for me, so, no offense, but I’m dreading your birthday. 😛
Well, I guess it doesn’t matter if I’m a member or not, I won’t be able to play either way. 😦
No way Quiet Wolf! That’s MY birthday too! Middle school is coming up for me soon, too…
Hm…I still have active membership…hopefully I’ll try to write a guide for this island
I always have membership cuz I have very understanding parents 😀 can’t wait for Steamworks
I don’t want any credit, but there’s a PCB post reminding everyone about Steamworks with a pic of a shop.
1) Isn’t that where we saw that crab-type thing?
2) The poptropican is wearing shoes.
3) I think I see a mini-prototype of those mechanical pants on a shelf.
