Well, nothing really much to say..
Forgotten Islands

But man, they made it 99 cents!

Blake

*bursts out into awesome Macklemore rap that none of you will ever get to see*

What’s popping, Poptropicans? Blake here with a quaint little piece of Poptropica news. Forgotten Islands – Poptropica’s first iOS game – is now 99 cents on the App Store! That’s a whole $4 deducted from the original price! *The Wheels on the Bus plays as trumpets sound*

Timmy, track SEVEN! *SORRY!*

*2001: A Space Odyssey plays as a giant wooden sculpture of the app’s icon rises from a slit in the ground*

TIMMY, WHERE ARE THE SMOKE MACHINES?!?! *SORRY!*

*smoke machines surround the icon as it rises up*

Yes, yes. Now you can explore Poptropica’s Forgotten Islands in your very own home, such as in these wonderful places… *points to blank Jumbotron*

Timmy, I TOLD you to have the ad playing for after I did my monologue! *SORRY!*

*the Poptropica: Forgotten Islands ad plays on Jumbotron*

Well, yeah. Big buildup for a little thing. Oh yeah, and if you want to check out what the game is like, take a look at the PHB’s full walkthrough for Forgotten Islands, with pictures! I have to go fire Timmy now, so stay popping, Poptropicans! *spotlight falls on me as I walk out*

Timmy, I TOLD you to use the NYLON rope! *SORRY!*

Mocktropica Island

I’m friends with the monster…..

Blake

What’s popping, Poptropicans? Blake here, with another little piece of scoop, as well as a review of the Mocktropica bonus quest.

First of all, I guess we should get into the moment you’ve all been waiting for! The day you’ve dreamt of! The pinnacle of-

Blake! Stop stalling and get on with it!

Fine. So yeah, Mocktropica bonus quest. Woooo….

First of all, note, please, I am NOT a Poptropica member. I tried to get it with my Visa gift card from Christmas, but it won’t take it. Okay, so now for the actual quest. I got a pretty good idea of what might happen if you go to the quest: and as it turns out, I was right.

So, you start off in a Mega Fighting Bots arena. You meet Bucket Bot, the ‘scrap heap they send in every time a new player registers.’ You have to win 3 rounds with Bucket Bot, with the traditional Mortal Kombat statistics:

1st Round Win + 2nd Round Loss + Final Round Win = Win
1st Round Loss + 2nd Round Win + Final Round Win = Win

So after that, you win the Bucket Bot outfit. I didn’t particularly like this quest. Now, onto the less exciting weekend Daily Pops. These Pops feature a pharmacy, as well as that little game you play at the carnivals where you pick a duck and win a prize. Carnivals. As well as the monsters from earlier in the month. Could it be?

3000years

Monster Carnival… It’s been 3,000 years…

Okay, so nobody but Pokemon fans will get that. So anyway, this is Blake, signing off!

N-No way… I actually managed to make it to the end of the post… Without a pun!

Newswoman: How does it feel?

Well, I would probably say the effects of this glee really POPPED out at m- DANGIT!

Exploring the Cosmoes (or maybe not)

Blake

What’s popping, Poptropicans? Blake here, with another piece of fresh-popped Poptropica news. (Seriously, I can’t stop with the puns! HELP!)

So anyway, I was doing my usual round of the island’s common rooms, and found out that (SURPRISE!) I was America’s next top model! Not really. Anyway, I found out that Cosmoe, the main character in the new Funbrain graphic novel series Galactic Hot Dogs (some of you may read it, I personally don’t, for fear of another Spider-Man 3) is in some of the common rooms (such as Vampire’s Curse). (screenshots taken by Slanted Fish; Blake is not a girl)

cosmoe

As you can see, he’s got a flawless 5-star battle ranking, plus you can add him as a friend! He shows up on your friends list with a green star instead of a yellow one (to prove he’s ~special~), and all of his images are stills from GHD telling you about Cosmoe.

cosmoe2

You can also customize him (but not his Goober Sword), and that’s pretty much it! First time Poptropica has placed a character in a common room as an ad. (EDIT: His username is npc:cosmoe, so you can add him to your friends that way too! Thanks to raqk for the tip!)

Once again, pop on in next week for another great piece of Poptropica news! But for now, this is Blake, popping the cork off of another adventure in- okay I am so done I mean really what’s with the puns. who writes these scripts I mean really.

Blake’s rant about the quality of his script went on for another two hours before he was shot down by 5 tranquilizer darts. Thank goodness for that, because that’s enough tranquilizer to take down an elephant. But what do I know? I’m just a narrator! Tune in next time for Blake’s newest piece of Poptropica news. Will he finally find Cosmoe? Will he EVER become America’s Next Top Model? And WHY AM I ASKING YOU ALL THESE QUESTIONS? Tune in next week to find out!

Ooh my my, baby don’t be shy… (Smurfs 2 ad!)

Blake

*listening to iPod as I dance to the computer* I see that spark flashin’ in your eye, my heart beats fast cause I want it all, so baby come with me and be my Ooh La L- *trips over chair* Ouch. Oh look, a new Smurfs 2 ad. What a coincidence. *pulls out noisemaker, blows* Time for my first piece of news!

smurfs

The Smurfs have returned to Poptropica! On the main street of Poptropolis Games, you can find The Smurfs 2 ad, with a new questline since the movie just came out on DVD.

After you do the questline, popping bubbles with Smurfs in them to win, you get two prizes: a costume (Brainy for boys, Smurfette for girls) and Gargamel’s Wand, which allows you to, well, hold it and look cool. Honestly, after holding this item, I felt all like…

They see me rollin’
They hatin’
Patrollin’
And they tryin to catch me ridin’ dirty

I then proceeded to parade around the island, doing my best Gargamel impressions and showing off. I don’t know how I can survive for 5 seconds without showing off.

Well, that’s all the current news for today, Poptropicans. I’ll see you next week with your latest Poptropica news. *gets up, dances away* I came in like a wrecking ba- *loud crash is heard* I’m okay!

Hellos & Goodbyes, Web Development

The Blake Bomb has been released. Get ready, Poptropica…

Blake

The Blake has arrived! Release the bombs! Fire the missles! THROW THE CHEEEEEESE!

*runs inside, throws down bags* Woah, woah, hold the phone! I know I stole that outfit from the Store, but no need to get all worked up! *walks over to couch* Well. Let’s get started. *pulls out computer and begins to type*

Hey guys, Blake here! I’m so happy to be a part of the esteemed PHB, a feat I’ve dreamt of accomplishing for five years. Five LONG years, might I add.. *glares at Juyo*

I’m basically just your average 13-year-old Poptropica loving boy. Some of my fave bands are Hollywood Undead and Owl City on occasion. My Poptropica username is mickety2, but you probably won’t find me often (but if you want to accomplish this, I can usually be found anywhere, often on the newer islands.) You might remember me as the guy who wrote the Poptropica Adventures guide.

Did you write that guide, or did you steal it like that outfit?

Quiet, you! Anyway, I plan to bring a lot to this blog, including, but most certainly not limited to:

-My *strikes Project Runway pose* FABULOUS walkthroughs
-My *sulks* less fabulous video playthroughs once I get some recording software bugs out
-And my amazing minisodes, filled with humor an-

The Creators didn’t think you were humorous!

QUIET! TRYING TO INTRODUCE MYSELF HERE! So anyway, filled with humor and sometimes drama. I hope you guys will like me as the newest author (and not beat me up and toss me in a dumpster), and I hope to get another post out next week. Get ready, Poptropica. The Blake Bomb has been dropped.

I’m confused, was that a terrorism threat or a pun? *gets out the tazer*

It was a metaphor! A metaphor, for Poptropica’s sake! Anyway guys, bye! *throws down smoke bomb. As it dissolves, you can still see me crouched behind a lamp*

..Oh, you can still see me… *runs out the back door* NOWHERE AND EVERYWHERE!
