"You find your faith has been lost and shaken, you take back what's been taken. Get on your knees and dig down deep, you can do what you think is impossible. Keep on believing, don't give in. It'll come and make you whole again. It always will, it always does. Love is unstoppable." -Unstoppable By Rascal Flatts I'm just a teenager who loves music, singing, playing my guitar, dancing, playing on my 3DS, playing Poptropica, and playing Neopets. I work on a few different Poptropica blogs, mainly my blog (Icy Comet's Blog), the PHB, and Super Thunder's Blog. My favorite kind of music would have to be a tie between Contemporary Christian music and Country music. My favorite series of books/movies is The Lord of the Rings (The Hobbit included). My favorite video game would probably have to be Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. And I'm a huge fan of the Avatar: The Last Airbender series. So, yeah, that's about all there is to know about me. See ya!

(Before I begin this post, I just want to say sorry for not posting in ages! I know that my last two posts have started this way, but, like I’ve said before, life’s been kind of crazy and hectic for me recently. Nothing bad has happened, I’ve just been super busy. Hopefully, now that it’s summer, I’ll have time to post more!)

Creating an island on Poptropica must be extremely complicated. I know that you’ve probably never had that thought cross your mind before, and, honestly, before today I never thought about it either. But take a moment to sit down, calm your brain, and just think about all of the things that the Creators have to do to design an island. They have to come up with a story line, bad guys, good guys, they have to design the backgrounds, buildings, all of the items, all of the clothing, they have to do all of the drawing, they have to do all of the coding, and they have to do about a million things more to make sure that Poptropica is the wonderful place that it is.

So, how do the Creators do all of that and what steps do they take to do it?

On August 1st, in the form of a book, the Creators are going to reveal all of their secrets. …Well, maybe not all of them, but that’s beside the point. Yesterday, the Creators announced a new book that will come out in a couple of months. The book is called the Poptropica Island Creator Kit.

According to Captain Crawfish’s post,

The Poptropica Island Creator Kit is an activity book that will walk you through all the same steps we take when we make a new Island. You’ll come up with a storyline, create characters, and design puzzles. There are some surprises in store, too.

The book is available for pre-order on Amazon.com. Click here to go see the page.

Right now, the book is priced at $7.19. And, like I said before, the book comes out on August 1st.

So, what do you think of the book? Do you think you’ll be getting it? Hopefully we’ll find out more about it soon!

Night Watch Island

What do you find at a mall after hours?

February 26, 2013February 26, 2013 Icy Comet

Night guards, cat burglars, escaped animals, and (best of all) new clothes!

Before I go any further with this post, I just want to say sorry for not posting in a really long time! Life’s been really busy for me lately. Hopefully I’ll be able to post a little more often from now on. I might be a little clueless about what happened while I was gone, but, hopefully that will wear off really fast.

Anyway, to continue what I was saying before that flimsy excuse of an apology of mine, apparently there are, to quote Black Widow, “tons of new costume pieces” on Night Watch Island. I’m not sure how true that is, though. After all, I haven’t played Night Watch yet, and I don’t completely trust the Creators. I mean, after they tried to trick us into thinking that they were going to add noses to all of our Poptropicans, I haven’t bothered to believe them one hundred percent.

And since I’m having trouble thinking of what to say next, I’ll just let you go ahead and look at the Creators’ post for yourselves.

Cat burglars everywhere!

Night Watch Island is available now for Poptropica Members, and one of the best things about it is how many new things are available for you to costumize. We’re talking tons of new costume pieces that anybody who plays Night Watch Island can get.

But there’s one costume that won’t be around forever: the Cat Burglar costume, available only in the Poptropica Store. It’s only for Poptropica Members, and it’s only around during Early Access for Night Watch Island!

If you don’t want to miss out on the Cat Burglar costume, or on being the first person you know to play Night Watch Island, then find out how to become a Member today!

BLACK WIDOW

I still don’t know whether to believe them or not… It’s hard to tell when the little section about it is inside a post that basically advertising the Cat Burglar Costume.

Hopefully those of you that have played Night Watch Island have noticed all these new clothes. That way I won’t have to sit around and wonder whether or not to believe the Creators.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island

A Reminder for Something We Didn’t Need to be Reminded About

December 6, 2012April 6, 2015 Icy Comet

Before I start this pretty much pointless post, I just want to say sorry for not posting in awhile. Life just got in the way for a little bit. But, I’m back and hopefully I’ll manage to stay back for at least a little while.

Anyway, like I said before, this is pretty much a pointless post. Although, it isn’t just a pointless post. It’s a pointless post about a pointless post from the Creators’ blog. There’s a big difference between the two. 😉

As you might already know, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is going to come out for everyone tomorrow! …And for some reason the Creators thought that we would need to be reminded about that…

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory opens its gates tomorrow for everyone!

The wait is almost over. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will be available to everyone tomorrow, December 6! Keep an eye right here — we’ll let you know the second it’s available.

For Members, that means you have one day left to get your exclusive Oompa-Loompa costume. Don’t miss out!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Prepare yourselves for a sweet adventure of a lifetime, non-members! Don’t forget- if you run into some trouble along the way and you can’t figure out what to do next, make sure you check out our awesome guide to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

Also, if you want the Oompa-Loompa costume, make sure that you get it now, because, like the Creators said, you only have one day left to get it. If you want it make sure you have membership before tomorrow!

That’s about it. I know it’s a pretty short post, but there’s nothing else to post about. Before I go, here’s a picture to add some joy to your life- and to add some length to my post.

New and Improved Pop Quiz

October 14, 2012 Icy Comet

When Poptropica Friends first came out, everyone was so excited that they actually overloaded Poptropica’s servers and the Creators had to turn some features off until they could fix it. And one of Poptropica Friends’s best features (or at least in my opinion) was the Pop Quizzes. They were great…until you answered so many questions that you had no more to answer. Then you were left staring at something that looked like this:

But, that has all (finally) been fixed, cause the Creators have recently added some new questions!

Finally, a pop quiz you’ll enjoy

We’ve recently added dozens of new pop quizzes to Poptropica Friends. Now, you can share with the world even more of your unique personality — and learn more about your friends, too.

Taking pop quizzes is easy. Just log into your Poptropica account every day for a new quiz, and check out the “recent activity” tab to see what your friends have been up to.

I never knew that Captain Crawfish can climb trees! How do you do that with a peg leg? Very slowly, I guess.

BLACK WIDOW

Hmm… I can’t help but wonder how long those “dozens of new pop quizzes” are going to last me…

BINARY BARD

The binary says “thunderous applause”.

Congratulations to all the Poptropicans who were in the first ten list! And congratulations to anyone who’s beaten Super Villain Island! Especially if you’ve beaten the bonus quest. That thing was really hard.
