The pirate life’s for me!

May 8, 2010February 5, 2013 Smockers

Hello Poptropicans! Recently, a trailer for the soon-to-be-released Skullduggery Island was released to members only! Of course, it would only be fair if all could witness a sneak peek of one of the most swashbuckling islands yet! Ladies and GentleMannes, I present to you the spectacle that is a preview of the adventures you will have on Skullduggery Island (courtesy of shaned46):

Notice the pirate-y, jolly tunes playing in the background. Wouldn’t it be just awesome if that could play in the background while you explore the island? *winkwinknudgenudge*

The other special item that was given to members was an exclusive Skullduggery Pirate costume. Here’s a picture of me in it.

More on Skullduggery, you can now see it conveniently placed on the Map, of course with a “COMING SOON.” It sure does look menacing!

Finally, a new wallpaper was released by the Poptropica Creators. I would recommend you replace your current desktop background with this new one in order to, as the kids might say it, “stay hip with the crowd, yo.” At least, that’s what I hear…

1spyback — Go to http://blog.poptropica.com/2010/05/new-wallpaper.html to download this "psychedelic" and "groovy" background.

Well, that’s about it! I hope you had an awesome week, and we here at the PHB hope you also have a Happy Mothers’ Day this weekend! Make sure to let her know your gratitude and appreciation for everything she has done for you, no matter how great or minute.

Oh yeah, thanks to Cheerful Panda/Aphrodite who helped me with this picture by obviously posing as the mom. 😀 Click here for a link to Giant Penguin’s Poptropica Blog, a blog that she works on.

Skullduggery Island, Sneak Peeks

Bird boat?

May 6, 2010May 7, 2010 Slanted Fish

On the Poptropica Facebook page, there’s a special sneak peek for Skullduggery Island, clearly related to the bird boat seen yesterday. The “scrambled” bits of the picture in the last sneak peek are clearly arranged here and obviously belong to this ship.

Looks like this Skullduggery Island ship is almost ready for its christening! Wonder what it’s called…

What do you think? Here were some thoughts from other Poptropican players on our Poptropica Help Forums:

“Looks like a weird ceremony for the preparation of a ship.” ~Setew2
“Maybe food for the bird so it doesn’t pick your eyeballs out? …just theory.” ~Coderkid
“The pirates are birds.” ~Sanzulines
“To christen a boat you smash a bottle champaign against the side.” ~MuddyDragon
“Maybe it’s some lame trap? o_0” ~Happy Fang

This large vessel seems to be designed to look like a bird, and this scene shows that it is about to receive a name. Yellow ribbons aligned on the dock and a bottle of apple cider hanging from the sky portrays a celebration, but what’s with the seed bag? ._.

Tweet! Tweet!

Hey guys. Sorry I haven’t been around for a while, but I’ve been really busy with exams and such. Trust me, when you get into high school, not to mention the grade I’m in, your workload gets insane. I’m talking REALLY insane. I have 5 hours of homework each night plus studying. Ouch.

Anyway, new PCB post. Here it is:

Tweet Ride!

One of my minions sent me these snapshots from his vacation on Skullduggery Island. I can’t tell what it is. A ship? A bird of prey? Whatever it is, it looks enormous!

This is obviously a shot from Skullduggery Island. It looks like a game in which we have to assemble the pieces. I’m guessing it’s some sort of pirate schooner with a bird (eagle? hawk? perhaps even a dragon, because of the claws and eye) as a mascot.

The image name is “Tweet Ride.” It sure is sweet, or “tweet.” The “ride” part makes me certain it’s a ship, along with the shot of the sail. Very interesting. Perhaps we have to assemble the pieces in order to gain access to the ship. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see….

*Tweet!* Did you know? The PHB is affiliated with Poptropica Help Tweets, our Twitter page which you can always come back to check at: http://twitter.com/PoptropicaHelp. For the birds. 😀

Arr you looking out for more Skullduggery stuff? If you become a member from now until May 17th, you’ll receive two exclusive members-only gold cards when you log in: the Skullduggery Teaser Trailer and Skullduggery Pirate costume. And for those of you wise enough not to blow your money on that, click here for a ScreenToaster video of the teaser trailer, filmed from Green Boa‘s computer. The tune to this is called “Drunken Sailor.”

Anyway, have a good life.

*tweet tweet!*

Hijuyo here! The two mysterious members-only cards have been revealed to be a “Skullduggery Teaser Trailer” exclusive video clip and “Skullduggery Pirate” costume.

According to the new Poptropica Creator, Captain Crawfish wants everyone to know that, “Both the Skullduggery Island teaser trailer and the Skullduggery Pirate costume will be available for members beginning on Monday, May 3. Anybody who becomes a member before May 15 will get these exclusive items!”

Poptropica also has some chewing gum for the hyper people who just have to get their teeth on something. xD

First, the free one. It’s called the Classic Flavor Popgum, and you can blow floating, popping bubbles by pressing the space bar. This one is pink, and a demo version of the other gum mentioned below.

And the one that costs. D: This is the Cinnamon Fire Flavor Popgum, and like the first, it blows/floats/pops (in sequence) bubbles by pressing the space bar. These bubbles explode in puffs of fire (as seen in the picture), and cost 250 credits (or free if you’re a member).

Speaking of fire, check out the latest Poptropica internet rock band sensation:

You would not believe your eyes
When you make a poor kid fly
As you give him a shiny green balloon

He’ll fly above the square
and look down from in the air
You’d think me rude but I would just stand and… stare

I’d like to make myself believe
That he floated to RTV
It’s hard to say I’d rather stay and wait for him to come down
While I could tell his mother and she’d frown…

~Excerpt from “Balloon Boy” to the tune of “Fireflies” by Owl City

Cool songs (such as the one above, and more!) written by songwriter Hyper Star performed by the Flamin’ Skulls, the awesomest Poptropica rock band around! Many of the band members often hang out at the Poptropica Help Chatroom; and if you see them online – invite them into your Multiverse room for a rocking concert! 😀
