Author: Ultimate iPad Expert

Hello, I'm Paul, known on the interwebs as Ultimate iPad Expert (UiPE for short). I'm a big film geek, being a big fan of many franchises including Pixar, Disney, Animation, Gravity Falls, Star Wars, Marvel and so many more. I've been on Poptropica since 2011, being the head of the Poptropica Wiki (http://poptropica.gamepedia.com) and now an author on the biggest fan site for the game, the Poptropica Help Blog! Apart from fanbases, I love filmmaking and geography and hope to do something in the film world eventually.

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here.

March 21, 2016March 21, 2016 Ultimate iPad Expert

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here.

You’re right, time-traveling Garfield! PMFM brings joy to any Monday. Welcome to round eighteen of PMFM (Poptropican Meme Face Mondays)!

PMFM-Round18

The lucky meme-faced Poptropicans this week are Maroon Cheetah, Green Sky, and Trusty Tooth! And here are the memes:

And there’s extra meme-ing this week! Today (March 21) is the birthday of LizzyBee2003 from on DeviantArt (if you have a dA check her out and wish her a happy birthday). Anyways, so I made her this meme face in birthday celebration! 😀

LizzyBeeMeme

Infact, that’s not all of the extra meme-ing this week! (Although technically I made these before last Monday, but I forgot to add them into the post. :P) I recently opened up Art Trades on my DeviantArt. Since I can’t draw, I’m trading in meme faces. Below are the trades I made for MagicLightning124 and PegaKid2012 respectively.

If you’re on DeviantArt and want a meme face without having to wait, feel free to send me a note asking for an art trade. Be sure to include your username (wearing what you want the meme face to be wearing) and what meme face you’d like. Even if you have already received a meme face, are going to receive one, or are going to be getting a second submission on PMFM, feel free to contact me anyways. 🙂

Blast from the Past

5 Years with UiPE – and a teaser!

March 18, 2016March 18, 2016 Ultimate iPad Expert

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here! I usually make silly posts, like PMFM, but today I really want to reminisce.

5 Years ago today, I edited the Poptropica Wiki for the first time. I added the page “Anti-Power Handcuffs” to the wiki, adding simply the text “Anti-Power Handcuffs ar” onto the page. Oh little noobish me. 😛

Who knew that an 11 year-old kid using an anonymous wiki account could end up an author on the biggest Poptropica blog on the internet. Young me definitely wouldn’t have, I can tell you that. I don’t want to explain my whole journey to the PHB on here, since I already have, but I just can’t help but think about the good times.

Not only is this March my 5 year Poptropica community anniversary, but it’s my 1 year PHB anniversary. The first signs of contact between the Wiki and PHB staff began mid-March last year, eventually growing into me becoming an author. March 31, I’ll never forget. The email finally coming to me, the invitation to come here.

My life was forever changed from the moment I found the Poptropica Wiki. I’ve met so many amazing people from the Wiki, the PHC, and the PHB alike. I’ve created my own series now, here on the PHB, which a lot of people are seeming to enjoy. I really love making people laugh and making people just feel good in general.

I’ve spent the past 5 years now, trying to inform and entertain Poptropicans, and I really hope I will continue in that. Speaking of, you may have seen me dropping hints about an announcement this month, so without further ado… I’m going to tease you instead:

ItReturns-HypeImage

What could it mean? Hint: there is a hidden detail on that image, have fun finding it.

Well, this was kinda a short post, but I really wanted to kinda celebrate with you guys. This concludes my Quinquennial Poptropica Community Anniversary post. 😛

This is Ultimate iPad Expert signing off. See you guys next time.

Also, happycrab made a wonderful meme of her Poptropican back when she submitted for one, so I figured I’d remake it with her Poptropican meme-ified.

Graphic Novels

MotM Q&A and book launch on Periscope!

March 10, 2016March 12, 2016 Ultimate iPad Expert

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here with a recap of today’s events Poptropica broadcasted on Periscope, Twitter’s video counterpart!

The Q&A with Jeff Kinney livestream for the Mystery of the Map graphic novel was on at 3pm EST today and lasted about half an hour, with intermittent breaks as they were figuring things out. Jeff Kinney answered multiple questions sent in from online, and Poptropica’s community liaison, Jessica (Skinny Moon), asked all the questions. You can check out Part 1 here and Part 2 here!

Similarly, the book launch party was live streamed from Jeff’s bookstore in Plainsville, MA on Poptropica’s Periscope. The event hosted not only Jeff Kinney, but also Mystery of the Map illustrator Kory Merritt. This event was about an hour long, and you can check it out here!

As a prelude to the two events, Jessica also filmed a short Behind the Scenes clip from the Poptropica HQ, which you can check out right here.

Also, shoutout to PHC-er Striped Lizard for attending the book launch event and sharing about it on the PHC (the PHB chat)! She got to share her island idea and art with Jeff Kinney, which is super cool!
