The Crazy Maker

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

In today’s Daily Pop, “the Crazy Maker”, something is revealing its true crazy nature…

All work and no play make Homer something something

There are a lot of things about this Daily Pop. First, the caption. It’s a reference to The Simpsons. In an episode about Homer having, um, restrictions, he starts to go crazy. One of his statements were, “… and no TV make Homer something something“. They combined that with “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”

The strange thing is that they already used that phrase in Mocktropica, when one of the programmers says “All work and no play makes me want to curl up into a ball and cry…” But both of these phrase are only using half of the verse. Why have they reused this statement? Perhaps the rumored “zombie slaves” that were supposed to appear in MCI have something to do with it.

Another strange thing about this Daily Pop is the doctor or scientist on the right side of the image. I strongly believe that a doctor will play a big role in MCI. His name will probably be Dr Price, and he probably is the one mutating the animals. In a post on the PTFP that I made, I talked a little about my predictions of the plot of MCI. I was joking, of course, but now that more of these are released, I’m starting to wonder.

Will they continue the zombie slave plot, even after Zomberry has been released? I’m guessing not… instead, I think they’ll make new monsters. Check out this recent Daily Pop:

Someone has been focusing too much on the glamor muscles.

Remember the glob monster? And the mutated animals on display? I think we have something really great and original to look forward to. 🙂 Also, just a thought: the scientist that has been appearing in images and probably will be in MCI was probably Dr. Romero from Zomberry at one point. Oh and…

Nightmares of the Carnival & release of Poptropica Labs

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

The Poptropica Creators have really been piling it on lately — first Mocktropica, then Mythology SUI, then Poptropica Labs, and now Monster Carnival Island!

Just after I posted that gif of Thirsty Whale deleting MCI. Perfect timing. This island is old but new. If you want the whole story of Monster Carnival Island, be sure to check out the PHB article where we explain the happenings. One thing about it; the mystery of Monster Carnival will be solved very soon.  In fact, it’s coming out next month!

I realize that this is the first prediction I made that has come true. Which is sorta sad. xD Personally, I am really excited for this. I never would have guessed it (until just about two weeks ago, when the Daily Pops became suspicious.) I have high expectations, and I have faith that this will be awesome!!

What I don’t get is that in the teaser trailer, the ringmaster* is wearing a Mardi Gras mask, that was already proven to be for Night Watch. Will this be about Mardi Gras as well? Or is it not a mask? O.o

*I say that this is a ringmaster because 1) they generally wear a top hat, and 2) the cape is also a general ring master accessory. Just check out the preliminary sketch for MCI’s ringmaster. Pretty similar.

Also, there’s the question of sound or no sound. One thing unique about the teaser trailer is that at the end, where the logo is shown, something is not shown. It has been shown in the newest islands trailers thus far:

nowwithsound nowwithsound2

They both have the text below them saying “Now with sound”. The MCI trailer does not have that in it. There is a chance that they didn’t put it in because this is just the teaser, and there’s also a chance that the “Now with sound” phrase is obsolete, since everyone has sorta gotten used to it. But what if it wasn’t that?  What if they’re releasing Monster Carnival classic?

It would sure be a tribute! Would you enjoy it? Or would it be a nightmare?

Also, a heads up to the Daily Pop on Monday:

Just trash the place, why don’t you.

“We’ll eat you up, we love you so!” – Maurice Sendak. That’s how I feel about Poptropica at the moment. But MCI will take us down a different route. Instead of being wild things, we will save them!

In other news that’s not so scary, the card for Poptropica Labs just came out in the Store, and it’s currently for members only.

I want to let you know I am aware of it, and will be posting a review of it soon next week. 😉

Some monstrous new Daily Pops

Fuzzy-B

The mystery of Monster Carnival Island continues to thicken with some new posts that have made their way onto the Daily Pop! Are these monsters our newest sneak peak for Monster Carnival, or is there another new island brewing bellow the surface? Check out these Daily Pop posts and make the decision!

The first picture shows us a tree with some evil looking owls in it, so what? The important part are the streamers and flags that are seen, is this a festive scene? Festive like a carnival? The rest just show various monsters.  The first two show a metal faced bird, a taxidermy  Jackalope, and multi-eyed dinosaur dog. The last picture shows an evil looking toxic waste monster.

It should be noted that the last two pictures are similar in that the monsters are labeled with numbers. Are these exhibits to go and see on Monster Carnival Island?

So what do you think? Are these our first official look at the Monsters of Monster Carnival Island or something totally new, only time will tell!

Mocktropica & Sky Island Peeks – and a hint of ‘MonsterCarniv’

Slanted Fish

In all the recent excitement on the PHB involving locating some hidden Poptropica files, the Mega Fighting Bots site not being playable (it’s back up now!), and the mysterious “Gamer Guy” (who turned out to just be a regular commenter having a bit of fun, not a Creator), you may or may not remember that Mocktropica is due to be released tomorrow for members!

There’s a couple of recent Daily Pop sneak peeks that look like they’ll belong on the new Poptropica-parody island. The rest look like they might be part of a separate “sky island” – more on that in this post. Anyway, check ’em out (click to enlarge):

There’s even a spot for the Mocktropica trailer video on Main Street of Poptropolis Games! (thanks, ayman351) Look how happy my character is to see that cow go all haywire.

Check back tomorrow for more Mocktropica goodness! We’ll have a written walkthrough up as soon as possible, but in the meantime, you’re welcome to exchange tips in the comments and contribute to our guide.

Also, the PoptropicaCreators channel on YouTube recently uploaded a new Poptropica Tour video. Note especially at around the 1:10 mark, where they show the process of saving your game – by typing in monstercarniv in the username box! It’s been a while since they’ve hinted at Monster Carnival…

Oh, and one more thing: in case you missed the memo, the PHB is having a Christmas party this Saturday and we’d love to have you come! Tough Icicle (Samwow5) will be hosting, so check out his post for more details. The more the merrier!

Mega Fighting Bots (among other things)

AW

Hey Poptropicans, guess who? Yeah, it’s me, Angry Wing. I know you all want to get up and give me a standing ovation, but please, fight the urge and hold it in for now. Aw, I’m just kidding with you. I’m not here for applause, I’m here to tell you stuff. Stuff other than talking about applause. ANYWAY!

All the talk is about Gamer Guy, Gamer Guy’s firing, Mocktropica, glitches, and Mega Fighting Bots. A little background: Gamer Guy was first introduced a long time ago, when his character began appearing in some Daily Pop Sneak Peeks. Remember, everyone wanted to know when Poptropicans would be getting iPhones? Gamer Guy then was a character on Zomberry Island. Most likely, you played video games in his house. Then, last Tuesday, Captain Crawfish handed over the helm of the Creator’s blog to him. (Get the pun there?)

Finally, what’s gotten him fired is his promotion of a rival website. This is where we arrive at Mega Fighting Bots. Still with me so far?

The Mega Fighting Bots website is empty except for this:

megafightingbots

Definitely not much to get from this, although the game was previously playable…

I have come to one conclusion. It’s all just another promotion for Poptropica’s newest island. A fun one, more elaborate than we have seen in the past. Kudos to the Creators for reeling us in on this adventure.

One more thing: this shouldn’t really have come as too much of a surprise, as this Sneak Peek was posted weeks ago.

Just sayin’.

That’s it, Poptropicans! This has been a story recap/update from your favorite friendly neighborhood Angry Wing. 😉
