PHB Christmas Special, Part 1: The Party Starts Here

Blake

phb2015 christmas

It’s here, Poptropicans! The PHB Christmas special we promised will be posted in parts over the next 12 days leading up to Christmas. Here’s part one – enjoy!

EXT. PHB OFFICES

(The staff is gathered around a huge table. Clearly edited in SOUNDS OF LAUGHTER can be heard. BLAKE begins talking to his FELLOW AUTHORS.)

Blake: Well, it appears Christmas time has rolled around again. Are any of you going home for the holidays?

Fishy: Yes. I am returning to my native country of Iceland to be with my salmon family in this hard time of winter.

Blake: Alright then! I was gonna go help out that orphanage downtown, but if you guys don’t wanna go, then fine..

Paul: Alright, Blake. Normally you’re the definition of selfish and rude. What’s got you so cheery?

Blake: The blood of infants.

(A STUDIO LAUGH TRACK plays.)

Paul: No, but seriously.

Blake: Fine. Timmy put me up to this. Remember that bet we made, where I dressed up as a princess and walked around the offices for a week?

Paul: Yeah! I think Sam actually has that up on Youtube.

YOUTUBE SCREEN

(A YOUTUBE UPLOAD is shown processing. It cuts to black, then you hear the sounds of clicking. The video flashes on screen, titled USE_TO_BLACKMAIL_BLAKE.AVI. In the video, BLAKE parades around the offices, ruling over it like a kingdom. SAM snickers in the background.)

INT. PHB OFFICES

(THE AUTHORS stand around the table, idly. COMPLETE SILENCE is heard.)

BT: Um, Paul? You’ve just been staring at the wall for 5 minutes. There’s nothing there.

Blake: Well, there is HP hanging Slip from the TV again.

(OFFSCREEN, the sound of HP hanging SLIPPERY RAPTOR to the TV can be heard, followed by a loud thud. SLIPPERY shouts in pain, and the action cuts back to the AUTHORS.)

BT: Yeah, that is pretty interesting. Anyway, I’m going back to Early Poptropica for the holidays. I have family there, and I haven’t written home in a few years…

Blake: So I can count you and Fishy out for helping me at the orphanage? Whatever…

EXT. ST. MARY’S ORPHANAGE

(THE AUTHORS, sans FISHY and BT, stand outside the orphanage. HP looks toward BLAKE.)

HP: Dude, why’d you drag us along?

Blake: Because we have two characters that we wrote off in the beginning of the special, and we’re pressed for time! Plus, Sister Mary needs our help with the kids anyway.

Sam rolls on the floor in a circle while laughing hysterically.

Slip: Wow, an orphanage actually named after a living person. Weird…

(SAM rolls in on a skateboard, and does an ollie over SAM, still laughing hysterically. He takes off his multicolored, 80s style sunglasses and smiles, revealing his single gold tooth. A close up shot of the tooth is shown. A single sparkle shines across the golden beauty.)

Sam: Yo yo yo! What up, it’s ya boy Sammy Fresh comin at ya live from the PHB Christmas Special!

HP: We don’t care.

Blake: The Gravity Falls references make this special twice as sad, but Sammy Fresh makes it twice as rad! Alright, let’s head inside.

Sam: Aight, dawg!

(SAM does an ollie over the threshold.)

This is Sammy Fresh, by the way –

PMFM (Poptropican Meme Face Mondays)

Poptropican Meme Face Mondays: Round 5?

Ultimate iPad Expert

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here. Welcome back to another completely and utterly normal episode of PMFM!

PMFM-LennyWeek

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Or is it? This round five Lenny Week on PMFM (Poptropican Meme Face Mondays), of course!

First, a short backstory for this week. As you may know, PMFM runs on a first come-first serve basis, so once everyone that requested before you gets their face, you get yours. Well, it just so happened that 3 people in a row chose the Lenny Face ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). So, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for a “Lenny Week”.

The lucky Lenny-ed Poptropicans this week are Brave Sky, Skinny Ice, and Brave Thunder. And here are the memes:

Feel free to click on the images to view them in their full glory. 😛

Want your own meme face?

Well, it’s simple. Comment on the most recent PMFM post (just choose the one of the list here). Be sure to follow the criteria below:

  • Very crucial: Wear the outfit you want to have in the meme face on Poptropica and keep it on for at least a week.
  • As mentioned, find the most recent PMFM post (it will be at the top of this list)
  • Include your Poptropican username in a comment.
  • Include the meme face you would like on your Poptropican in your comment (a link to an image of the meme is very preferred).
  • Post your comment and wait! (PMFM is operated on a first come-first serve basis, so your meme face will come after all of the ones before are released).
  • Just a note: You do not need to re-comment on newer posts if you haven’t gotten yours yet. Once I reply to your comment mentioning “You being added to the list,” than I have seen your comment and added it to my literal list, so yours will be made after each one before is made.

This completes round five (Lenny Week) of meme faces. Tune in next Monday for the next Poptropican Meme Face Mondays!

BTS Overview & Theory: Escape From Pelican Rock Island

Spotted Dragon

(EFPR Island is coming out today for members! Check out BT’s post below for details!)

efpr bts

Hey everyone, and welcome back to our BTS Overview & Theory series! This time, we’ll be covering Escape From Pelican Rock Island, written by the PHB team and organized by myself, SD. Be sure to check out our previous BTS posts, our most recent being for Timmy Failure.

WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW (but that’s what you want, isn’t it?)

Overview of evidence

As always, we will start out with the basics and lead up to the scenes, dialog, etc. Be sure to visit the Escape From Pelican Rock Tour Page for more info!

Pelican Rock is the toughest prison ever built. And after you’re framed for a crime you didn’t commit, it’s your new home! Use your wits to devise an escape plan, and your nerve to pull it off. But getting out is just the beginning — because the real criminal is still out there!

There is a printable poster available and members get a free costume in the store. Plus, there is currently a sneak preview and prizes if you visit the island!

Daily Pop Sneak Peeks

Judging from the art style and subjects of the following sneak peeks, we know that they are for Pelican Rock. 😉

 

Scenes & Dialog

Now we can get into the detailed stuff! Below are the image layers and dialog for each location on the island.

MainStreet:

Hill:

Tower:

Final Theory

Based on all this evidence and what we’ve seen in the preview for the island, we can predict the following for our quest. There is a robbery, but the thief gets away and your Poptropican is framed for the crime. You’re put behind bars and you have to use the items that you can get a hold of to escape. Once out, you have to make a plan to prove your innocence. Eventually the real thief shows up, the Booted Bandit, and the cops take him away. And for all your trouble, you get an island medallion!

Remember that Escape From Pelican Rock Island is going to be out for members today! 😀

PHB Specials

Something big is going to be under the tree this year…

Blake

Ahh, the holiday season. Friends, family, presents…

BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THAT…

CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT THE TV SPECIALS Y’ALL!

Speaking of which, remember in my last post, when I said to watch out for something big coming this holiday season? Well, it’s time to reveal said big thing…

Announcing: the 2015 Poptropica Help Blog Christmas Special!

phb2015 christmas

That’s right, to celebrate the holiday season, me and the other authors are bringing you a full length Christmas special starring the PHB cast! It won’t be animated (mainly because we’re too lazy to do it), but if you want to animate it based on the script we’ll put out, we’ll reward you with lots of crawfish!

Now, how is this going to work exactly? The special will be released in 12 parts, starting December 14th! Each part will range from around 2 to 3 movie-script-style scenes, with a few classic PHB references mixed in!

Well, that’s all for now, Poptropicans! Stay tuned for Part 1 of our big special coming on December 14th!
