Burn Out Bright: Commemorating a Loved Costume

Slanted Fish

To commemorate the departure of the Rock Star costumes from the Poptropica Store for both male and female musicians, The Intertwined band will be guest-starring in this post to play “Burn Out Bright” from alternative rock band Switchfoot! Sing along!

Hijuyo: So you guys may have seen the warning from Black Widow on the PCB… time is running out before the Rock Star officially disappears from the Poptropica Store!

*band plays*

Alpha: If we’ve only got one try…
Mara: If we’ve only got one life…
CyberTron: If time was never on our side…
iDGpops: Then before I die..
Theflamebringer: I want to burn out bright!!

*band bows and shuffles offstage*

These epic costumes will be missed, so get ’em now while you can! Note that they now cost 100 credits, instead of the usual 75. If you want to see more of the Intertwined, check out the band’s blog and their Last.fm music page!

"Burn Out Bright" lyrics belong to Switchfoot.

Wild West Island

I’d rather be sailing

Slanted Fish

(You hear the neigh of a horse in the distance. The sound of horse hooves clomping closer and closer gets your attention, and you turn to see… Captain Crawfish riding a horse!)

Hijuyo: Woah there, Crawfish! What brought you here? Fate? Destiny?
CC: A horse.
Hijuyo: Oh, right.

Giddyup horsey!

CC:  Someone get me off this crazy thing! Turns out a horse is harder to control than a pirate ship! At least it doesn’t smell as bad as my scurvy crew, but dang, I would much rather be sailing…
Hijuyo: Well sir, I do hope you’re ready to be nommed.
CC: Whaaa…?
Hijuyo: *clobbers CC with a pan* Wow! Frying pans, who knew, right?
CC:  *falls to the ground. opens one eye* Gah, and all I wanted to say was that I hoped to see some Poptropica members on Wild West Island this weekend…
Hijuyo: *clobbers CC again and stuffs him into a refrigerator* I’ve got a person in my fridge! 😀
*The PHB mob runs over each other and make a beeline for the fridge*
Hijuyo: Eat up, and don’t forget, the horse meat doesn’t taste too bad either!

Wild West: Defeated!

Hopefully at least one of these resources will be helpful to your adventures in the wildest, most western place there is on Poptropica! And don’t forget, WILD WEST ISLAND opens to the public for free on March 14, 2011!

Wild West Island

Yeehaw! Riding west to the wild!

Slanted Fish

At least, that’s what the paid members of Poptropica are probably yelling gleefully as they start logging in to play the newest island that just came out. Yup, that’s right, Wild West Island just came out.

Just for members, of course. -_- That leaves the rest of us sitting here sadly waiting for that glorious day when we nonmembers can too join them on the wild adventure to bring Grande’s gang to justice. That would be March 14, 2011 for non-members, according to the in-game Map. (thanks, Neat Turtle!) That’s also Pi Day, for you math nerds. 😉

Hopefully, we’ll have our video and written walkthrough guides up on our Wild West Island help page soon. Any help is appreciated, just comment on this post! 🙂
