Thursday, Thursday, Gotta Get Down on Thursday

AW

Hey everyone, it’s me again! Angry Wing. The Creators have made an announcement. First of all, they have confirmed that the whole HD-3D thing was yes, just an April Fool’s joke. A good thing too, because I don’t exactly have $999.95 just laying around.

But now for the big announcement…

Back Lot countdown

Back Lot Island comes out for members today, Thursday April 4th. (And for non-members, it’s April 25th – three Thursdays later.) Mark your calendars! Set your keyboards! Go play that island!

Later.

You can check out the countdown on Poptropica’s homepage now.

Right now it’s at 6 hours 36 minutes, 17 seconds. 16 seconds. 15 seconds. 14 seconds…

Here is the video one last time before the release.

Alright, that’s all for now! Good luck on your quest through the Back Lot!

*flies off*

Hey guys, BT here. Now should I start with the joking or non-joking part? I’ll start with the (possibly joking) part.

Captain Crawfish has announced Poptropica 3D HD. Or is it HD 3D? Whatever.

And 3D images from Skullduggery Island are there.

And low-priced $999.95 3D glasses. (Shipping and handling not included; available 1/01/14)

And suppossedly Jeff Kinney “approves” in a fake-looking quote.

Now, before you break your piggy banks, I’m pleased to remind you of today’s date: April 1st. There. Put the hammers down. Good. Besides, I have a pair of 3-D glasses stashed in a DVD that works with that image and for only $20 something dollars.

But like the nose thing last year, I don’t think this is really happening. I think this is the Creators way of mocking technology with its HD and 3D yakkity yak these days. XD

Now, not everything is a joke today. I actually found a promotion for Back Lot Island in the weirdest spot.

So I was wandering around on Night Watch Island when I encountered an ad.

No. It wasn’t an ordinary ad, though.

So… this is new. The Creators using the advertising spot to take a picture with Back Lot Island’s Kirk Strayer: well-known actor since 2 weeks ago. If you talk to him, he’ll say:

So you enter…

Those seem like epic images. And you click take photo… and a new photo is added to your album!

Now, I think there are a bunch of possibilities for your picture. Here they are:

…

…

Well…

…on second thought, I think this is the only result you get. I laughed at this, considering the epic preview images in the first screen when you first enter XD.

Oh well. At least we finally know who Kirk Strayer is. But what will go on with him in Back Lot Island? Only time will tell.

BT out!

Back Lot Island, Wallpapers

Heroes, villains, and everybody in between

The Poptropica Creators have created this all-new Poptropica Crowd desktop wallpaper, which comes in downloadable and printable poster formats, both free to use of course. I like it so much that I’ve even created a new PHB header out of it, as you can see above! Now, which costume below is the best?

Speaking of pictures, the Creators have also posted a new sneak peek for Back Lot Island, which appears to be a rather grainy movie clip of a chase sequence in a “Wild West” (not the island) film in sepia. Sometimes that’s just what a movie needs, along with heroes and villains and all.

Neighhhh, horsey! *rides off into the sunset*

Hey there Poptropicans! In case you haven’t been frequenting the Daily Pop in the past few weeks, this post will catch you up on some of the sneak peeks. Currently we’re seeing a biology-related adventure in the works and it looks like this time, we’re exploring the anatomy! Check ’em out:

(Click on an image to enlarge it.) Viruses, red blood cells, molecular structures, and more await in this island! Science geeks should be pleased. In other news…

Night Watch Island released to everyone last week. If you need a walkthrough, be sure to check out our Night Watch Island Guide, complete with words and pictures!

The next island will be Back Lot Island, as we know from a post that leaked onto the Creators’ Blog, which has now been reposted now that they’ve officially announced it!

The Poptropica LEGO CUUSOO project for Dr. Hare’s Lair currently has 3,200+ supporters. Dr. Hare is promising everyone a brand-new Bunny Balloon costume for if/when the project reaches 5,000 supporters, so I encourage you all to vote for it if you haven’t already.

How do you climb a body?

With a step bladder!

(Scroll down the post for news on the members’ Back Lot Island gear pack!)

Something for the Non-Members: For the first time ever, the creators have announced the first 10 Non-Members to complete the latest island. Not only that, it is the first time that the “Top 10 Finishers” has been presented in this new 1-photo format.

Top 10 Night Watch Public Launch

Something for the Members: The new Members Only suit for Back Lot Island has been released! The Director Costume! Looks like it’s time to make this summer’s big hit blockbuster!

I will admit, I love yelling action and cut and pretending I’m J.J. Abrams just as much as the next guy but… I do wonder where in the world are the other two items, the Silent Treatment power, and the Clapperboard item? I guess only time will tell. Let’s hope that we see the next two items and a release date for Back Lot Island some time soon!

Edit: The Clapboard item has now been released! Thanks to Thing 1 for the heads up. When you activate it you yell “Take 1”  “Take 2”  and “Take 3” and slap the Clapboard together. Now we just need the final power!

Yet another edit: The final power has been released: the Silent Treatment power! You can now turn the world of Poptropica into a black-and-white world of film history with the click of a button!

Aaaand… cut!
