Despicable Medusa

There’s two new advertisement buildings on Poptropica:

Despicable Me

Despicable Me:
In this new Despicable Me ad about the upcoming movie, your task is to find the 10 missiles, defeat Vector’s plane by shooting at it while avoiding its green shrink ray, and then you win the prizes.

Once that’s done, you’ll receive your very own ‘Despicable Me Minion Outfit’ and ‘Shrink Ray Gun’!

~COMMERCIAL BREAK!~

  • Check out Loud Shark’s Poptropica blog – just click here. The images from this PHB post are from his website! Give it a visit! (:
  • For something random, click here! It’s an item SWF from the official Poptropica website of an unreleased thing – something that looks like a cross between a wristwatch and paint palette.

/end commercial

Medusa's evil eyes :O

Percy Jackson:
There’s also an ad for the PJ series, where you’ll meet Percy, Medusa, and Zeus in Poptropica!

  • Tip: It would be easier to do this ad quest on Super Power Island, if you are able to fly. This will make it easier to escape Medusa’s stone glare.
  • At the end, you’ll earn “Zeus’ Armor” and “Zeus’ Lightning Bolt”! Great for adventuring on Mythology Island!
Hey big boy! 😀

Two evil geniuses……one mini game. Can we do it? YES WE CAN!!!!

Two evil geniuses have entered Poptropica… what could be worse? Oh hi guys, just stopping in to say… NEW MINI QUEST! And new Einstein costume in the store, for 75 credits of course. If you get it, you can also read a chapter from the new book ‘Who Was Albert Einstein?’. (Isn’t he the guy that made E = MC2?) Here’s a picture:

Happy Birthday Einstein!

Albert Einstein was born March 14, 1879. To celebrate his birthday, there is an outfit that comes with a free chapter from a book about him called, “Who Was Albert Einstein?”
Now you can look just as smart as Einstein, as you think deep thoughts, and read about his life.To formulate a powerful equation, hit the space bar.
(You can purchase the full version of the book by Jess Brallier today! Click Here.)

Coskit: Einstein was born on March 14. 3/14. 3.14. The first digits of pi. Coskit’s (and Hijuyo’s) favorite number. I know…by now….314 digits of pi. Yes, 314 again. 😀

Neat Whale: Well, the Creators have finally opened up the new Dr. Hare mini quest that we have waited long for, even though that evil rude mind-controlling Dr. Hare is back anyway… but let’s get on with it… the quest costs 250 credits to play (CREATORS! WAY TOO HIGH!) the Haunted House quest was FREE! FREE I SAY! A FREE 50 CREDS!.. ..ok, ok, I’ll calm down now….. and here’s the guide that I wrote to help you all out:

1 – The quests begins! Jump up onto the rocks and ledges until you reach a metal-looking-ish thing with a Rabbot sign above it (that sign never stops scaring me) and a box of carrots on a rock near it (Not again!) Enter the building. Then you will appear in another metal looking room. Why all the metal, Dr. Hare. Just wondering. It makes your hideout standout. Get it?…Um ok yea moving on…

2 – Go right over a floating platform to the right, near an ad for membership (very nice, Dr. Hare. Ads. I love it.) Then you will come across a man with a pink eyepatch (not very manly sailor) pink lab coat (still not manly) and clipboard. Talk to him. He will tell you that you are in one of Dr. Hare’s secret lairs, he was a mind-slave of Dr. Hare, and that he made a very creepy looking robot to the right which will help him with evil plans. Again with the evil plans. Why not good plans? Why? Click on the robot cage to your right. You then say that you need three colored cards. Go back on the sliding-down thingy and go right once at the bottom. Click on the red Dr. Hare door.

3 – (This is beginning to seem a lot like the Race to Witch Mountain thing, huh?) Go right after the stupid annoying little laser like thing and get on the floating thing with a box. Then, let it pull you up until you’ve reached a platform with a red button at the end of it. Push the box onto the red thing. The blocked door above will open. Now, to get to the upper platform, go left and hide behind the carrot boxes from the guards (creepy looking right?) Then jump up, jump right, and get the red key card.

4 –  Now, go left above the bearded guard, and hop onto yet another floating platform with a box. When you come across another flooring, push the box onto it because it has the purple (purple is the best color in the world, just saying) button. Then go back on the floating platform and ride it up to the other platform with bearded guard on it, hide behind a box, and then jump up onto the now unlocked room with the purple card. (Purple is still awesome.)

5 – Now, go down down down. Below the entrance. Below the thing with more lasers. And ride another platform down where you have to hide behind another box from a weird person with an afro. A little farther over from you it the blue card slot. Now, ride the platform up again above the thing with lasers, and go to the edge. There should be a box at the end. Push the box off the end and it will smash on the ground near/on the blue switch. Push it onto it if it isn’t already on it. If you push it off the end like I did the first time, you’re dead and you need to start over. Now if it is on it, yaeeeey for you and run over on top of the other platforms with the lasers, onto the moving platform, into the room with the blue card, then you grab the blue card, scream with joy, ride the floating platform back up again, go out through the entrance… you get the main idea.

6 – Rush up to the top where the robot is, open it up with your cards, and–WHAT?! Only 50 credits?! RIP OFF CREATORS!! RIP OFF!!! And the costume only makes you a robot. Now where’s Dr. hare? I wanted to blast him off into space again because last time it was fun. Well? WHERE IS HE?! Wait he’s still in space? Awww mannn… 😦 Well that fun anyway zD

Hijuyo: Check out this sneak peek posted on the Poptropica Facebook page! It looks like it belongs on the upcoming Mythology Island. This sketch was filed under a photo album titled “The Making of Poptropica”, and the description says, “A palace fit for a king — or maybe somebody even more powerful than that.”

Post Update: Poptropica in the news?! (Credit to Deathstalker from the PHF.)

PHF member Deathstalker recently uncovered this article on Poptropica, written by the Herald Journal. (Click here to read it)

The article, besides including a lot of information that gives us insight into what goes into making Poptropica, gives us the low down on who are its Creators. Much of the information we already knew, thanks to the work of our top stalkers.

Speaking of stalkers, the article even drops a quote from Leary, directed at the stalkers:

“The site may be a big business with millions of fans, but “for us were just having fun,” Leary said, despite the legion of “12-year-old stalkers” who constantly write letters wanting to know when the next “island” will come out and what it will be like.” – from “A world on the web – Logan design team makes cartoon idea a (virtual) reality (Poptropica)”

Ahem, Mr Leary – I’m not 12. Don’t force me to call your house again.

Another great thing about this article is the photography, specifically the pictures – which can be seen below.

He's watching. Always. And so is Shark Boy.

Jordan Leary poses (who’s bad!) with Shark Boy.

When Jordan speaks, everyone listens. Except those two guys behind him. They just keep working. Or whatever they're doing.

The Creators at work? o_O

Anyway, this is a great article – once again, you can read it here. Be sure to let us now what you think in the comments! =D

– – – –

Hey guys! Long time no post, eh? 😛 Anyway, check out this mysterious costume I found:

Buz Lightyear visits Poptropica
Buzz Lightyear? O_O

In the Avatar Studio: http://bit.ly/9B3Fnx

Can you say “Toy Story 3 Ad”? I know I can!

Me: Toy Story Three A-
Random Person: WE KNOW YOU CAN SAY IT! JUST GET ON WITH THE POST!
Me: You betta recognize! (o_O)

Anywho, this looks like a costume from an upcoming Toy Story 3 Ad, which, BTW, is THE BEST MOVIE EVA. 😀

THIS IS...STAR COMMAND!!!
Who's your daddy? Buzz is. =D

The best part about this costume happens to be the wings – they retract in and out so wickedly!!! Besides, who can get enough of Buzz Lightyear staring at you with a look that says “I own you. And yes –  I am the bomb. *muscle flex; manly grunts*”? The bad part is the fact that you can’t fly with them. 😦 Trust me – I tried at the Mountains in Time Tangled. Lets just say Buzz isn’t going to be going to infinity…or anywhere else, for a while.

To wrap up this post, I leave you foolish mortals (MUHAHAHAH *ahem*) with this trailer for the upcoming Toy Story 3 movie:

A Super Monkey Poptropica Ad!

Hello there, Neat Whale online! There’s a new ad on Counterfeit, Shark Tooth, 24 Carrot, Super Power, and Spy Island with the age limit 7-12. As the title suggests, it’s on a game called “Super Monkey Step And Roll”. (Thanks to IkeWB for the update!) In this ad, you can go around, watch a video clip, learn more about the game, see when it’s due, jeez, is my cat eating my spaghetti again?

Wait… something doesn’t seem right… oh, no, the banana machine in the factory’s not working right?! GAHHH!!! My Gramma spent five years working on that thing! Aw, well, the game is to fix the banana machine, and get 60 bananas in 60 seconds. Not much time, huh? I mean, a banana a second. Seriously? We aren’t the Flash… anyway, if you do manage to beat this game, the reward is a monkey coustume–what else? Either way, I find this rather difficult and I don’t exactly think I’m going to pass the game. (I’ve already tried anyway, gosh, calm down…) Oh, yeah, and here are a few pictures I tried to take of it on a new account I made today… Outside:

And the Inside of the ad:

And now for Inside Of The Game part:

In other words, I used to play ‘Super Monkey Ball: Touch and Roll’ myself every once in a while with my friends and family–still do, and beat every one of the little poor children I challenged. And anyway, I’m going to spend a week with my cousin starting February 16th, and she’s really easy to beat at this game. 😛 Sorry, Becca, but I think I’ve found a new game similar to the old one I kept you up until midnight playing. 😀

Well, time to go take my dog out for a walk… so, bye people of Poptropica and all that follow, I’m out!

Update: Okay, now it’s time to go form an angry mob… Membership was just realeased (In my opinion, that deserves Mr. Frowny Face to enter the building–I mean, post. 😦 Aw well, thanks for the update, Zippyfish4!) Here’s the picture Binary Bard added into his post:

 

Again, mod, assemble. 😛 Or, Creators! Haiti needs your help! Send the money now! Whichever suits you, haha. I guess that’s all… bye. 😀

Got honey?

For Green Seal’s post about the Honey Nut Cheerios ad on Poptropica, scroll down below!

[Update] DaVinci: Everyone, there is a new PCB post. I don’t think it’s big enough to merit another PHB post, but there is some pretty sweet info in it – regarding the upcoming membership feature! For example, the Creators hint that “This is key, since we are planning on releasing some pretty sweet islands this year!”

Regarding the many concerns about Poptropica itself still being free, the PCB mentions – “Remember, even if you don’t have credits or membership, the Poptropica Islands are always 100% FREE for all to play!” So, this is ultimately awesome. :D ;)

***

There’s a sweet new advertisement on every island on Poptropica… for EVERY AGE. :O I don’t think this has ever happened before!  This is a historical moment *tear*.  Um, anyway, it’s the Honey Nut Cheerios: Honey Defender Game Ad (Thanks Bobitator for the update!).  This advertisement doesn’t have any plot or task; there’s just a costume, a video, and a quiz game. 😀 You just go inside the huge hive and jump around.

TAKE THAT DUMMY! *hits with fishing pole* >:D

*announcer voice* Now you can become Buzz, the honey defender!  Explore, collect, and defend the honey! >:D Yeah, I just took that from the video ’cause I was bored. 😀 When you click the link to the game, you are directed to the game on Funbrain.  You can also play it at: http://honeydefender.millsberry.com/, although to play the full game you have to put in a code from your cereal box.  You can play the demo version, though.  I can’t play either because I don’t have unity web player. xD

In other news, there’s another sneak peek of Reality TV Island posted in the Creators’ Blog:

Shuffleboard

Still stuck on this island, I found some people playing a game with small sliding pucks. I don’t think the mime is going to win this one.

It shows some kind of weird game that to me looks similar to pool or something… IDK.  The characters above are probably the contestants you are going against in RTV.  Some new characters are the chef, the elder woman, train/bus driver (I’m guessing), and the elder man on the right.  I think the place where the mime is is where you would be… I’m not sure, it’s just a random guess. 😀

This is all for now!  Be sure to check out the below posts:
