Daily Pop, Mocktropica Island

Mega Fighting Bots (among other things)

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:

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. 😉

Daily Pop, Mocktropica Island

Our first look at some possible Mocktropica Island locations!

Hey everyone! I didn’t disappear, I have just been REALLY swamped with school work this semester, but I’m finally having time to both play and blog! Don’t worry, I’m going to be very active from now on that I managed to get through this first semester of high school. Back to the news!

With Mocktropica Island getting nearer and nearer, we may be getting our first look at what the inner workings of the Island will look like via the Daily Pop. Click the thumbnails to enlarge the pictures:

It looks like some of these resemble already established islands such as Twisted Thicket or Astro-Knights! Do you think that we will have to go into old islands and fix them? Some others look like we could either be creating new locations or maybe finishing locations. Either way, I think that these new locations shown in these previews will be pretty exciting!!

What do you think of these possible locations? How do you think that these locations will play into Mocktropica?

Daily Pop, Poptropolis Games Island

Get ready for Poptropolis Games 2013 – out next week!

That’s right, the Games are going to rise, and members will get to play in Early Access starting next week! (Date not known, but presumably around November 14th as Poptropica tends to release islands on Thursdays.) Everyone else’s turn will come, but in the meantime, let’s keep digging!

Now then, let’s check out what else the Creators have been working on by the looks of a few recent Daily Pops – looks like an outdoor adventure and an encounter with some lovestruck crazies awaits…

In the Clear – Don’t be so sure about that.

Screaming Trees – I nearly lost you there.

Loving You – It’s easy ’cause you’re… well, not beautiful.

By the way, be sure to check out the previous post to catch up on all the new ads around Poptropica right now! There are games to play and prizes to collect, so have fun. :]

Free Birds ad: how do we address this turkey situation?

With cranberry sauce! There’s a new ad on Main Streets (I found it on Back Lot) for the upcoming 3D animated movie Free Birds, in theaters November 1! Upon entering the game, you’ll be given a red Turkey Costume. You have 60 seconds to hop around the hatchery to click on the ten little birds.

When you’re done, you’ll be awarded a Reggie Costume (looks similar to the red turkey but has a purple head) and S.T.E.V.E Power (the white egg-shaped machine descends onscreen).

Speaking of birds, let’s take a look at a few of the Daily Pops from this week, starting with the one of a feathered fiend of course:

Bird is the Word – Feathers will fly.

Whitewalls – A smooth ride, a roomy interior, and it gets 8 miles to the gallon!

Perfect Prescription – Find the cure for what ails you.

In other news, if you missed the Poptropica livestream with a few of the Creators this Friday, you can check out the archived video on Massivelytv! They mentioned some interesting things, which I posted about, most notably that there are plans to bring the online version of Poptropica to mobile devices in early 2014.

And lastly, the PHB’s 5th Annual Halloween Costume Competition will be ending soon, as winners will be announced next Thursday in time for Halloween! There’s still a few days left to squeeze in an entry – so do so if you dare!

Pop goes the Tootsie Roll, Babymouse, eggs & froyo

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? The new Tootsie Roll ad game (which I found on Early Poptropica) has you going around a forest to ask various animals the question. Beware of the bees and make sure you get to Mr. Cow, Turtle, Fox, & Owl before time is up! Speaking of which… this is what the fox says?!

When you get to Mr. Owl, he’ll bite his candy before getting to the center, and you’ll win a Tootsie Roll Pop (which comes in blue, orange, and red) and Tootsie Roll Rain Power (which rains down brown Tootsie Roll tubes)! Press the space bar while holding the pop and count how many licks it takes to reach the center (the number varies).

There’s also an ad for the Babymouse book series, which I found on Time Tangled. On the second floor, you can pick up the Queen of the World power, which simply flashes an image of Babymouse on top of the world.

And now for a couple of this week’s Daily Pop sneak peeks! In case the Tootsie Rolls weren’t enough to sate your appetite, we’ll be seeing eggs and ice cream, too…

Egg Hunt – Be careful. There’s no candy in there.

Soft Serve – We all scream for froyo.

Also, remember that the PHB is hosting its 5th Annual Halloween Costume Competition this month! We’ve been receiving lots of spectacularly spooky entries, but there’s still time to join in! Ten winners will be selected to be featured on the PHB homepage and Costumes page on Halloween (Oct 31st). In the meantime, let’s keep those entries coming!
