Scene 2

ACTION!

Also, I really do have to apologize for my “mini-vacation.” I’ve just been so busy with tests and projects, and then state tests, AP exams, and finals are coming up in the following days and it’s getting so hectic! I can still post, but just barely. 😉

Also, if you haven’t noticed, our Back Lot Island page has just been newly updated with our guide, kindly written by Samwow5, skyboy303, Zippy Turtle, and edited by Slanted Fish! Also, some trivia has been added, not all of them, but a few of the little movie tidbits that you can find! If you can find more, just comment on this post or the BL Island page!

That’s all for me today. Have a great weekend! 😀

AND CUT! THATS A WRAP!

Back Lot Island, Web Development

Back Lot Island action begins for members!

“Action!” That’s the cue for all members to log into Poptropica and play the all-new movie adventure, Back Lot Island! No lights and cameras for the login screen – just pure, stampeding action.

But, non-members, don’t worry. Your time to shine will come. April 25 at 2pm EST, to be exact.

Apr25

Anyway, our Back Lot Island Guide is up, so if you need help, there you have it! Hopefully the walkthrough (which has pictures) will be of value to you. And to celebrate the new island, we’ve got a Back Lot header up as well. Woot!

In other news, the PHB’s Poptropica Web Directory recently got a revamp. That’s the place where people can post ads for their Poptropica sites, so give them a visit! It’s listed under our Cool Stuff page, which is also home to the recent revamp of our Costumes page if you haven’t gotten a chance to see that yet. Double woot!

aaaand… end scene.

*curtain closes and audience applauds wildly*

“Back Lot! Back Lot! Back Lot!”

Thursday, Thursday, Gotta Get Down on Thursday

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*

Back Lot Island, Sneak Peeks

Kirk Strayer in 3-D!

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*
