PHB Sunday Special: Hole Tiemz!

June 19, 2011August 5, 2012 Slanted Fish

Hello dear readers of the Poptropica Help Blog! Today we have a wonderful surprise for all you lovely children. You’ll like it even better if you’re a frequent reader of Party With Hobos, the comedy dialogue stories sponsored by the PHB, where nothing makes sense but you know it’s still gonna be awesome. And now, here’s your chance to laugh at the PHB authors! 😀

With that said, the lights dim, and you sit back to enjoy the show…

*at PWH studio*

Kyan – Welcome to Party with Hobos, the show in the format of stories that make kids laugh AND teaches them lessons! 😀

Ryku – Remember when we interviewed people?

Audience – *all at once* No!

Ryku – *gets saddened* Well, we used to do that.

Minotaur – And one of our most memorable interviews was that of the PHB crew playing Hole Tiemz! 😀

Wolfgang – What’s Hole Tiemz?

Minotaur – A game where you ask questions and if you make an answer that I don’t like, you fall through a hole into a world of broccoli.

Wolfgang – What’s a PHB?

Minotaur – Poptropica Help Blog.

Wolfgang – What’s a Poptropica?

Minotaur – Do I have to explain everything to you?

Wolfgang – Yes.

Minotaur – It’s a virtual world for kids.

Wolfgang – *rolls eyes* Thanks. You going ballistic on me was inappropriate.

Zey – Let’s bring out the crew shall we? *raises curtain by a rope*

*PHB gang sitting in chairs with chains around their wrists and ankles*

Minotaur – *clears throat and begins to walk around* For you NOOBS, this is a game called Hole Tiemz. I will ask you random questions. If I like your answer, I write safe on your forehead with a Sharpie, but if I don’t, you fall through a hole into a world of broccoli. Got it?

*they nod their head*

Minotaur – Hijuyo, where is the PWH widget on the blog?

Hijuyo – Well, I sort of ran out of room, so –

Minotaur – YOU HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM! YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO ADVERTISE THE PWH! HOW IS THIS SUPPOSED TO GET HITS?

Hijuyo – You have beautiful eyes! 😀

Minotaur – Ahw! :3 *writes Safe on Hijuyo’s forehead, walks over to Coderkid* Coder, why do you just read books and go on Twitter?

Coderkid – I met some really cool people on there, and it’s really fun.

Minotaur – YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY OVER DIGITALK! WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?

Coderkid – I like your hair! 😀

Minotaur – *blushes* Are you just saying that because it’s green?

Coderkid – No, it’s really epic. 😀

Minotaur – *writes Safe, walks over to Green Boa* Why haven’t you been going to DigiTalk lately?

Green Boa – I never really had time to –

Minotaur – WHATEVER! MT MISSES YOU! YOU BETTER GO BACK ON AND VM HIM LIKE CRAZY!

Green Boa – I’m fine with that. 😀

Minotaur – 😀 *writes Safe*

Wolfgang – *interrupts* Whoa, whoa, whoa! Is this all you do?

Minotaur – *looks over at Wolfie, scribbles all over GB’s face* What do you mean?

Wolfgang – You just yell at people and as soon they compliment you, you write Safe?

Minotaur – But she said *points at Hiyo* I have pretty eyes! D:

Wolfgang – *grabs Mino by the horn, smashes him against wall* Let me handle this.

Lady RCG – *gulps*

Wolfgang – I was gossiping with Ryku, Kyan, and Zey over there. You haven’t posted in a while, yet you still go to Where Thunder Roars? You haven’t posted since April!

Lady RCG – Funny story that I could explain! You see I –

Wolfgang – Hijuyo already had to politely pwn Hicoga over there for commenting instead of posting. On that Summer of ’11 or whatever post, she practically said: Why don’t you start commenting instead of posting? I don’t hire you to just look at the posts and move on with your day. I had to post for a while and then you comment? Give me a break. You need to start doing what you’re hired for before your lazy butt gets removed! D:<

Lady RCG – What does this have to do with me?

Wolfgang – Oh, so you’re backtalking me now?

Lady RCG – No, I’m just –

Wolfgang – *pulls lever*

Lady RCG – *falls through hole*

*everyone gasps*

Wolfgang – *looks down in hole* This isn’t a broccoli land?

*PWH boys come over to look*

Ryku – I see a clock tower and hear British accents..

Kyan – Oh shizzledips! You sent them to the United Kingdom!

Authors Note: lol how geographically correct

Wolfgang – *death stares Hicoga*

Hicoga – *gulps*

Wolfgang – Let’s have a polite conversation about icons.

Hicoga – I don’t copy them if that’s what you’re going to say!

Wolfgang – WELL, YOU’RE NOT GIVING CREDIT, I KNOW THAT! 😐 We all know you stole that icon from Cynaide and Happiness.

Hicoga – It’s free, so –

Wolfgang – If the creator ALLOWS you to take their original icons, then it’s okay. I bet you didn’t even ask permission. Like how you didn’t ask permission from CK and Codien. You just rolled with it.

Hicoga – What’s your problem, lady? Take a chill pill! D:

Wolfgang – EXCUSE ME? *smacks Hicoga hard*

Ryku – STOP IT, WOLFGANG! D:

Wolfgang – *turns to Ryku* I happen to take games very, VERY seriously.

Kyan – *crosses eyes, sticks tongue out* Derr, you think so?

Wolfgang – *rolls eyes, turns back to Hicoga, pulls lever on everybody*

Minotaur – Why’d you do everyone?

Wolfgang – I don’t care anymore. Also, I won’t have time for my musical preformance! 😀

Ryku – Musical preformance?

Wolfgang – Did I ever say that I was good at rapping?

Kyan – Why do you expect that we’d know everything about you in 3 episodes?

Wolfgang – *rolls eyes* 1, 2, 3, 4!

*catchy beat plays*

Wolfgang – Who do you think you are?

If you’re such a superstar,

then you don’t talk back to me.

Now you know why, see?

I don’t have time for the haters in this gang,

’cause in my eyes, everyone’s lame.

I roasted all of you. Haha!

I even got singing skills! Lala!

For kids, you are quite dramatic.

I hope this adventure has been quite traumatic.

Now you know why not to mess with me, man!

Say one more thing and I’ll send you to England!

Sent ’em to England, England, England.

Now you don’t know why to mess with me,

because I’m number one! I make cheedar and bling bling!

GO HIJUYO!

Hijuyo – Aye, let me introduce myself. This is Yolanda.

I got rappin’ skills too, Wolfie mama.

These fools actin’ like they know everything in the world.

Please, I have the highest IQ than all these boys and girls!

Mess with me? I’ll get back at you.

Now you know exactly what not to do.

If you’re lazy, I’ll pwn you politely.

Pwn you in public daily, nightly.

Haters gonna hate.

You better appreciate.

Got something to say? Tell it to my face.

I don’t know why I put you lazy kids on my blog in the first place. AH!

Wolfgang – Sent ’em to England, England, England.

Sent ’em to England, England, England.

Me and Hijuyo comin’ for you,

if you talk trash or just lazy. We’ll know what to do.

WORD!

Ryku – That was epic.

*audience claps*

Minotaur – That’s my girlfriend! 😀

Zey – *turns to Mino* What’d you just say?

Minotaur – Nothing! :3

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Thanks for that, Captain Crawfish. Maybe we won’t eat you just yet. 🙂

CC: Whew! I’m still alive!
Hijuyo: Watch it! I said YET.

That’s not the only place you can get information about people who have played a part in Poptropica. The Poptropica Help Blog offers, among other cool stuff, the Poptropica Creators Database – a collection of data we know about the identities of the Poptropica Creators, the very people who work to create for us such an awesome game!

Recently a new section has been added to our Creators Database, and our thanks goes to Quiet Eagle for discovering the identity of Director D – who is known to his workmates as James Lema! Besides being the former director of Spy Island HQ, James is also the Director of Product Development at Poptropica’s Headquarters! Read more about it in our database.

CC: Bet you’ll never find MY real name!
Hijuyo: Do you WANT to be eaten?
CC: No, arrrr!
Hijuyo: Then keep a low profile, would you?
CC: Aye aye Captain.
Hijuyo: I can’t hear you.
CC: AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!
Hijuyo: Wait, I thought you were the Captain. Captain… Crawfish.

(At the word “crawfish,” crowds of hungry seals rush in to nom CC.)

CC: Aye, ’tis an omnom life for me.

Shrink Ray Island

You don’t want to misplay the Shrink Ray!

June 6, 2011June 6, 2011 Slanted Fish

I know, I know, Red Dragon Island was only just released to the public a day before this major announcement. But to cut the suspense short, here it is, the name of the next big (or was it shrunk to small?) island…

Shrink Ray Island!

If you try visiting its island page, you may have noticed that it has changed in format! Whereas there used to just be a graphic, there are now links to other island pages, merchandise, and membership. You know what else this means? Early Poptropica Island finally has its own description! My how Poptropica’s growing up. :,D

You can also find some sneak peek images above the island description, which by the way, reads this:

A young genius has invented a ray gun that shrinks anything it touches – including you! But when the scientist and her invention go missing, you’ll have to keep the shrink ray from falling into the wrong hands, and find a way to bring yourself back to normal size. To solve a problem this big, you’ve got to think small!

Sounds interesting! What do you think of Shrink Ray Island so far? 🙂

Red Dragon Island

Red Dragon Island is here for all!

June 3, 2011June 22, 2011 Slanted Fish

Finally, the wait is over for nonmembers! Head over to Red Dragon Island via your blimp and experience Frog Creek, Pennsylvania with Jack and Annie, then rescue them when they get lost in Ancient Japan!

Just a reminder to all that it’s June 2nd, which means that Red Dragon Island should be released to the public sometime today! In the meantime, though, there’s a new ad, “Kickin’ It” – and no, it has nothing to do with the front seat; it’s the Disney XD series – it’s a challenge for kungfu fighters to see if they’ve got what it takes to join the Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy!

Thanks to TheLoudShark for providing the walkthrough video! Your prizes at the end are a Kickin’ It trophy, uniform, and a secret move known as the Wasabi Kick!

Random question of the day:
Do you like wasabi?
