What would you like to see me create next?

coderkid

OK, I was thinking today – and I came up with zip. Zilch. Nada. Bip. Bing. Ting. Tat. Fip. In other words, nothing. Anyway, here was the question: “What is the BEST thing I could create, that would service Poptropicans/PHB readers the most?” So hopefully, your brains are working better than mine is right now. 😛

Oh – and don’t make it something that’s out of this world, like say, a credits generator. And yes, I know that that’s exactly what you were thinking. And yes, I am psychic. And yes, I am standing behind you as you read this. Boo.

But getting on – if you have any good ideas, I mean really good ideas, hit me with em’. If yours is chosen, you’ll get tons of credit. No, not CREDITS, you greedy little man, CREDIT. Two different things. Don’t get it mixed up.

So COMMENTTTTTT nowz. Thanks you. And YES, I said THANKS you. Deal with it.

Thanks,
A MadMan.

BTW – Don’t forget all the awesome posts below. Check em’ out, g-dog:

It’s…DaVinci! (No, famous people aren’t coming back from the dead)
Kickin’ it with the Creators (Luckily, the Creators survived with minor injuries)

Lastly, sending accounts has been delayed – mostly cause I just haven’t had the time. But don’t worry, you’ll get them. 😉

Kickin’ it with the Creators

coderkid

Hey guys!

Coderkid here. It seems like the Creators have LOTS of free time all of a sudden…*mystery music plays* Anyway, the Creators made 2 blog posts, IN A ROW. I don’t think I’ve seen them this active before… o_O However, here are dar dem updates.

#1 – Reality TV Island Sneak Peak!

By now, we can definitely say for sure that Reality TV island has not been abandoned, and perhaps was even resurrected because of our protests. This post by Dr.Hare shows us a shot of RTV that we’ve seen before (see this post by Comic Kid), except we can see that they’ve changed the sign…here’s the new post.

Knock, Knock!

Who’s there?
Watson
Watson who?
Watson TV today?

Here’s the other post (it’s an old one, but it shows the same scene), by Comic Kid Oct. 1, 2008.

Comfortable Living

Here is a sneak peak from an upcoming island.

So they changed the sign…why? Who knows. 😛 Probably a change in plot…

#2 – New Wallpaper!

Soon after Dr. Hare made his post with the updated sign, Shark Boy makes this post about the Counterfeit Island wallpaper!

Counterfeit Island Wallpaper

If you’re a fan of Counterfeit Island, you’ll enjoy this new Poptropica wallpaper!

– Posted by Shark Boy.

Pretty spiffy wallpaper, eh? xD Me likes…but I doubt I’d want to be spending any time with the Black Widow. Mostly simply because she’s EVIL.

So what do you make of all these updates? It seems like the Creators are working on 2 islands at the same time…Reality TV island and *gag* M-m-mythology island. Eww…

But anyway, post your interesting or creative comments and questions in the comments beloooowwwww…

Oh and Creators, I know you probably hate me, or at least have disdain for me (:P), but if you read this pleeze bring the Scavenger Hunts back. And if you don’t, just know that I know where EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU LIVE. I’m not kidding. That is all. 😀

Winners & Updates!

Hey readers!

There’s PopToolz to address, new Creators’ blog posts, new side ads, and last but not least the WINNERS!!!…so lets hit it! XD

#1 – New Side Ads! – Credit to Johnny!

Check out these new side ads, advertising the upcoming movie, The Tooth Fairy. Interesting thing to note that it stars Dwayne Johnson, The Rock. OK I admit it – I used to watch WWW or WWE or whatever it was called… Don’t shoot me. And it wasn’t like I was a hardcode (lame joke I know) fan or anything…I was kinda forced to watch it. Don’t ask.

#2 – New Creators’ Blog post! – Credit to…well…me. XD

“Fish, my favorite kind of fountain…”

You’ll never believe what I saw on my adventures recently. A real fountain in the shape of a fish! Have I ever told you how much I love fish? I think I will like this new island a lot!

Are mermaids in Poptropica’s future? LOL.

#3 – PopToolz!

First of all, thanks for all the positive feedback about PopToolz! =D
Secondly, I just want to list the features coming in the next version:

  • Instant alerts on new Creators’ Blog posts
  • Instant alerts on new PHB posts
  • Fullscreen mode – when enabled, it allows you to play Poptropica in 100% full screen!
  • New keyboard shortcuts

And that’s pretty much it. If you have any feature suggestions, go ahead and post them in the comments!

#5 – An awesome game!

I wanted to tell you guys about an awesome new game I found – it’s called Wiglington and Wenks. Inside of Wiglington and Wenks, you can interact with other players, battle each other in “Balloon Warz”, throw and participate in parties, travel all over the world to places like Singapore, Madagascar, Australia, The Amazon Rainforest, and The Grand Canyon!

The main goal of the game, however, is to find and restore the memories of historical persons who have been accidentally placed in the present. Also, the evil Count Cannaregio has stolen Carto’s Magic Maps from Wiglington, who is the rightful owner of them. The Magic Maps are powerful tools, by which the barer can travel and see back and forth through time. Obviously, in the wrong hands things could go terribly awry.

So if it sounds like your type of game, go ahead and check it out! Hijuyo and I already have account there, called…well, Hijuyo and Coderkid. 😛 Here’s a screenshot of me hanging out in Wiglington Town.

See you there! 😉 Click here to sign up. Oh, I should also mention that in a few days I’ll be throwing a party there, so be sure to come! I’ll post about it on the PHF. Can’t wait to see you guys there! 🙂

So the things you’d need to include in your comments are:

EDIT:
I should clear some things up. I’m giving away 10 Poptropica accounts, meaning one account per winner. Also meaning 10 people will win. Just to clarify. 😉
