The Time-Twisted Roamin’ Roman

February 18, 2014February 26, 2014 Samwow5

If you go on Shark Tooth Island now, you’ll find the Roman soldier from Time Tangled Island there on top of a building! He can also be found in Ancient Greece guarding the Treasury on Time Tangled, but what’s he doing here? For those who haven’t seen this guy up here before, he stood there with the same message about 6 years ago to promote the release of Time Tangled before the island came out.

You’ll notice he says “Time Twisted” instead of Time Tangled – that’s because Time Tangled was referred to as Time Twisted before the island was released. But what is he doing here now, in 2014, and why doesn’t he at least refer to the island as Time Tangled?

I wonder what this means – is it a glitch in the system? (Maybe that’s why the blimp was glitching? We don’t know.) Why is he back? The Time Tangled SUI was released a while back, but he’s only shown up recently. Stay tuned for more updates!

update #1: PHB reader Cuddly Lion has found that the item images for a map, blueprint, picture, and comic for various different islands have gone missing! What’s going on?

Seems like a glitch, but at least three items are missing their pictures – that’s crazy! Are the Creators planning something, or just having some trouble getting it together?

update #2: There’s a new area on Shark Tooth now! Go left when you get off the blimp and there’s a little island! There’s also more on Astro-Knights, Vampire’s Curse, Lunar Colony, and floating car on Night Watch Island! O_O WOW! (Thanks HP and HCM!)

P.S. I wonder, with the release of Monster Carnival on for tomorrow, Friday, will this be somehow part of the island? And if not, then what’s going on??

PHB Parties

Recap: PHB Valentine’s Party 2014!

February 15, 2014February 15, 2014 Samwow5

Hello Poptropicans! Even though I was a little late to the party (I had some business to attend to) I still had a lot of fun with everyone! Here’s a post to recap what went down at our Valentine’s fest. 🙂

We had a great showing of guests at the party, eager to meet in Multiverses! We also had several of the PHB authors show up: Samwow5 (me), Shaggy Tornado, HPuterpop, Brave Tomato, Blake and even former author Super Thunder! There were other Poptropica bloggers as well, like Silver Wolf (Wondalfy), and Nameless Undefined (Invisible). We had a ton of fun doodling and partying in Multiverse rooms! Here are some pictures:

According to HP, this was the night of love, dried peas, and super chunky junky monkeys. Hey! WHAT? Is he talking about me? 😛 Also, for those who missed out on the chat or just want to relive the awesomeness, PHC owner Pixel created a video for it (it’s sped up, but feel free to pause):

We hope everyone had a great time, and hopefully we’ll have another party soon! 😀

PHB Sneak Peeks: Mapping out Real Life Poptropicans!

February 11, 2014February 13, 2014 Samwow5

EDIT: The site redirects to Poptropica now… they must’ve seen this post.

Hey everyone! HP found something really cool today and told me to post about it! If you visit this link, you’ll find Google Maps on a Poptropica page, but tailored for Poptropica. It’s called Poptropica Visitor Map (or “Poptropica Birth Announcements” on your tab).

(I was looking around on it, and the pic at my house was my dad and I working on a floodlight while my neighbor’s yard was torn out… great picture of our house though xD).

Anyway, it seems to be for showing where and when Poptropica accounts are being born, and although it’s not fully operational yet, maybe it will be soon. So far, it seems to be stuck on just one random Poptropican: Tiny Leaf, born in Thorn Hill, TN.

In my personal opinion, this might be too much personal info… I don’t want someone stalking me! xD I hope Poptropica comes out with a more discreet way of making this work, though, because I think this is really cool!

PHB Parties

The PHB’s Valentine’s Day Party 2014!

February 8, 2014February 16, 2014 Samwow5

UPDATE: Check out our Valentine’s party recap here!

valentines2014

Hey everyone! I’ve been busy lately, so I’ve not really had time to post. The PHC-ers (people on our Poptropica Help Chat) have been asking for a Valentine’s Day party, and it sounds like a great idea, so we are having one! The date will be Feb. 14, 2014 (Valentine’s Day, obviously), and for US residents, the party will be at 8pm EST, 7pm CST, 6pm MST, and 5pm PST. If you don’t live in the US, use this time converter to find what time the party will be in your time zone. There will be PHB authors in attendance, as well as other PHB readers, and… it’ll be better than third-wheeling!

Bring your candies, heart costumes, and other Valentine’s Day gear! Get ready to battle in Multiverse rooms, chat with Poptropicans, and add some new friends to your list! The party takes place on the PHC (Poptropica Help Chat), and along with chatting on Xat, we’ll be sharing Multiverse codes so we can meet on Poptropica!

To access the chat, click “Chat” in the navigational bar at the top of this blog or go to xat.com/thephc. The chat will be moderated, so it’s a safe environment. Any rule-breaking will result in a kick or ban, so please don’t spoil the fun. If you have any questions, ask me in the comments! It’s going to be tons of fun, so join in the party! 😀

Ringmaster Costume & Poptropica Labs fan video!

February 8, 2014February 8, 2014 Samwow5

Hey everyone! I went on Poptropica and I saw, in the Store, that the Ringmaster Costume for Monster Carnival Island is already out! It hasn’t even been posted on the Creators’ Blog yet! The costume has three colors: Red, White, and Purple. (I like the red one the most. xD)

This costume is for members only and it is one of three items coming out for Monster Carnival Island. Also, it’s for a limited time only; it’s available until the end of early access for the island and then it’ll be gone! So go get it today!

The Creators recently posted about a fan called Perfect Sky making a video about Poptropica Labs, and whoever she is, she’s very lucky, seeing as it’s the first time the Creators have posted a fan video on their blog! I like some of her builds, they are really detailed! Check it out:
