Edits made below.

Well, basically, the title sums up what I want to talk about 😛 Here we go!

1. Cannonballs

The Creators on Monday posted a what-should-be-familiar-to-Members scene from Vampire’s Curse!

"Look at that! Someone shot a cannonball through my roof!"

Must be some bad neighbors, huh? Unless it was you who shot that… *whistles awkwardly*

Speaking of Vamp’s Curse… If you need a walkthrough, check out Super Thunder and Brave Tomato’s walkthrough! (They’ve sent it in to the PHB, and it will be up soon!) http://itsapoptropicablog.wordpress.com/2012/03/03/vampires-curse-walkthrough-part/#more-3809

2. Comics

On Wednesday, the Creators did a reminder post about the comics in the Daily Pop.

Believe it or not, there was a time when the daily newspaper had pages and pages devoted to comic strips. I know what you’re thinking: “What’s a daily newspaper?”

Used to be that somebody brought a stack of folded papers to your house every day early in the morning, which had all this information about news and sports and things that had already happened, and to read it you had to turn the pages instead of swiping a screen, and — well, it’s not important.

Anyway, we at Poptropica still think that the funny pages are worth your time and attention. That’s why, for some time now, we’ve been publishing some of the very best comic strips in the Daily Pop.

Make sure to check it out (again)! My personal favorite is Peanuts! 😀

3. Dryads

What you might be thinking: ” What dryads?”

What I’m saying: The ones that are involved in the new island in some way! On Thursday, the Creators posted up a picture of this unique creature:

How do you know it’s a dryad? Look at the original link, and it says dryad in the link! So what do you think this little guy has to do in the plot? Leave your suggestions in the comments!!

4. Vespers!

Who’s familiar with The 39 Clues series? It’s a brother(Dan) and sister (Amy) who discover that they are part of the biggest family of history with a secret! They go around the world in search of the 39 clues, which, when mixed together, uncover a treasure! The series went up to 11 books, with a companion book. Now, in this sequel series, Cahills vs. Vespers, six of their own have been kidnapped, and it’s up to Amy and Dan to rescue them by doing tasks for a mysterious fellow known as Vesper 1. The card that you will receive is about the 3rd installment of this series: The Dead of Night! I highly suggest that you read it! I myself will be getting it on Saturday! 😛

Last but not least…

5. Ads

A new ad has stopped by the Poptropica world! Goldfish: Team Xtreme!

Basically, what you do is shoot hoops, and at the end you get a basketball!

[EDITS START HERE]

Here’s LS with a video walkthrough:

Another ad is also on Poptropica called Dizzy Dancers (credit to Scary Catfish for the info and pic!)

"All you need to do to complete the ad is walk in and click the photo booth. This will take you to an area where you can design your own Dizzy Dancer. After you finish designing it, you receive two items… A “Dragaloo Follower” (What a lovely name…) and Dizzy Dancer hair for your Poptropican. A sign inside the ad says that you can come back March 19 for a special quest.." ~ Scary Catfish

March 19? Don’t they usually put the quest in when they put the ad in? Hmm…

Also, there’s some new things in the store for St. Patricks day coming this Saturday! They are a leprechaun costume and Shamrock Gum! (Thanks Lewis for the info and Flamez for the Goldfish and store item pics!)

So, until your next post, this is ST logging off! 🙂

Membership, Sneak Peeks

Curse time!

March 3, 2012March 3, 2012 Shaggy Tornado

In case you’ve been hiding out and avoiding the sunlight, Vampire’s Curse Island is OUT! Non-members get a demo, and Members get a special bonus quest! They added in two extras for all. First, they gave us a Vamp Curse wallpaper!

And second of all, a free downloadable poster! 😀 Link is below, because it’s too big to post here:

They also updated the homepage with vampire fangs! Also included below are Vamp Curse related ads. (Thanks Flamez!)

Here’s a random sheep from VC and some scenes:

Some changes on VI that I need to note: There’s rain and thunder, with SOUND! 😮 The whole island will be released to all on 3/22/12! The demo ends when you attempt to get into the castle.

~~~

Since VC was released yesterday, there’s already 10 people who’s lifted the curse! Say congrats to:

1. SILVER SEAL!

2. Shiny Star

3. Bony Skull

4. Moody Coyote

5. Incredible Peanut

6. Hyper Flame

7. Crazy Coyote

9. Bashful Fish

and 10. Tall Flame

Congrats to you! 😀

Have you heard that Poptropica is now at Applebee’s?

Now, when your family dines at your neighborhood Applebee’s restaurant, you’ll get a Poptropica activity book full of games and puzzles starring your favorite Poptropica characters.

These activity books will be there until May 7 in North America! So go persuade your parents to eat at Applebee’s today! 🙂

~~~

Once last thing: today is Dr. Seuss’s 108th birthday! 😀

The ad is still on Main Street but it won’t be for long! Go play it before it disappears! And make sure you see The Lorax, in theaters today! 😀

Happy weekend everyone! 🙂

Your new island pack

February 25, 2012 elmopwns

Can’t wait for Vampire’s Curse Island? The creators won’t just let us sit the last remaining days of the countdown in our chairs doing nothing but watching that clock. Your new Island pack/gear is here. Of course, all of these (needless to say) our members only gold items. So if you’re a member, you can directly recieve such gear for free.

Go ahead, activate some of that garlic 😀 and perhaps release some odor that will drive away vampires perhaps. Chew on some vampire bat gum and release a swarm of spooky cratures. Or dress up as a count. One can never have too much fun with store items.

Again, all of these are free to members. Have fun out there, guys. RD dashin off.

Sneak Peeks

It’s Mega Post Friday!

February 25, 2012February 25, 2012 Shaggy Tornado

Looks like the PHB hasn’t been updated for a while, so here’s a Mega-Post of all the updates for this week! 😀

1 Cactus…von…Garlic?

First update on the blog, on Tuesday, was about a character that you might possibly meet on Vampire’s Curse! And his name is Cactus von Garlic?

Bow, garlic, sullen stare…. Could he be a vamp hunter? 😮 Let’s see! And look at that metal “necklace” thing!

~~~

2. Picture Perfect!

A new update that the Creators have been working on has been previewed on Wednesday! It appears to be something like a photo booth or editor. What do you think?

It shows a scene from Astro Knights with a caption, and there are some clothing and trash icons in the corner! What’s your opinion on this feature? They’ll be releasing details soon!

~~~

3. Oxygen Rich!

An edition of Poptropica Tips and Tricks was released on Thursday! It’s about having more oxygen the second time around on SOS Island!

One problem: The diving suit is only if you play through the Bonus Quest, which is only for members. Anyway, if you wear it, you get more oxygen! You could even play a tune on the piano! 😀

~~~

4. Countdown and Map Changes

An official release date for members has been set for Vampire’s Curse! It comes in about 5 days, so that would be… either February 29 or March 1st (depending on your time zone and where you live)!

Also, some changes have been made to the Poptropica map! Gray Wolf/Tough Hawk first notified us through the comments! Looks like the map has turned into a book! The islands are arranged in order by release date from bottom to top. Thanks Flamez and Alice for the map and countdown pictures!

~~~

Hope you have a great weekend! 😀

Advertisements, App

Trees, trees, everywhere!

February 21, 2012February 21, 2012 Shaggy Tornado

Who’s a fan of trees?! If you are (and also have a hankering to do a new mega-sized Poptropica ad) , The Lorax ad is the right ad for you! (as seen on the PCB):

Many things to do, many things to see! Inside this adventure is the place to be!

There’s an exciting new MEGA-SIZED adventure on Poptropica! Go to Game Show Island and you will find it on Main Street!

And they are right! It’s truly mega-sized! Lots of new prizes to get! 😀 *Note: This is also their second Saturday post!

~~~

There are also new guides available for the Poptropica App! Get the scoop here:

The Poptropica Tips & Tricks app just got a little more helpful. With a new update, now you can get walkthroughs for our two newest adventures, S.O.S. Island and Ghost Story Island!

Visit the App Store or Android Marketplace to download the update, then launch the app. The guides for S.O.S. Island and Ghost Story Island will now be in the list of Island guides for in-app purchase.
