MASTER MIME

Well, at least we know the Creators have been listening.  A FREE quest? This is GREAT news.

Looking at the second image, we see

  • An RTV TV
  • The computer game from Counterfeit Island.
  • The chair from the CI cafe..?
  • And Master Mime.

What could all this mean? :O Ansa in der commentz!

Annieway, the new island coming up will be called…

PIRATE TRADE

Ooooooooooooh yeah. Lets say it again, with “island” on the end.

PIRATE TRADE ISLAND

Wow. It sounds even better when you say it twice. Third time’s a charm…:D

PIRATE TRADE ISLAND

OK, I’m bored. 😐 It’s not a crime.

This island sounds to me like we’ll be…trading…pirates. :O BRAIN-BLAST!!! We’ll be trading pirates! I’m such a genius. I always told my mom I wasn’t an idiot… =D The Creators showed us a sneak peek of this island, via their Facebook update:

Well, that concludes this post. Always remember:

DO WHAT YOU WANT CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE
YOU ARE A PIRATE
LOL, LIMEWIRE

This Time it’s Revolution!

Ahoy! What “arr” the Poptropica Creators up to this time? Posted on the official Poptropica Facebook page under the picture album titled “The Making of Poptropica”, is a cool sneak peek of some Poptropican characters you may encounter in the future!

Fear God, not man. 🙂

In the top-left corner of this picture, we see an old sailor with a green cap puffing on his cigar after a hard day’s work. Next to him is a simple-looking pirate cabin boy with a brown bandana wrapped around his head. And on the top-right, fearfully, are two pirate captains with golden peg legs!

The lower row of this sneak peek is occupied by four British (Redcoats; right)/American (Patriots; left) soldiers who look like they’ve stepped out of the Revolutionary War. Armed with guns with bayonets at the tip; you don’t want to get on their bad side! But freedom comes at a high cost, sometimes even requiring bloodshed… are you up for the battle?

Join the Order of the Astro Knights! <<<And have the power to defend for your rights!

UPDATE: Another sketch pic from the Poptropica Facebook page! 😀

Two weeks until Mythology Island opens to the public! Here’s another behind-the-scenes look at one of the places you’ll visit.

Two evil geniuses……one mini game. Can we do it? YES WE CAN!!!!

Two evil geniuses have entered Poptropica… what could be worse? Oh hi guys, just stopping in to say… NEW MINI QUEST! And new Einstein costume in the store, for 75 credits of course. If you get it, you can also read a chapter from the new book ‘Who Was Albert Einstein?’. (Isn’t he the guy that made E = MC2?) Here’s a picture:

Happy Birthday Einstein!

Albert Einstein was born March 14, 1879. To celebrate his birthday, there is an outfit that comes with a free chapter from a book about him called, “Who Was Albert Einstein?”
Now you can look just as smart as Einstein, as you think deep thoughts, and read about his life.To formulate a powerful equation, hit the space bar.
(You can purchase the full version of the book by Jess Brallier today! Click Here.)

Coskit: Einstein was born on March 14. 3/14. 3.14. The first digits of pi. Coskit’s (and Hijuyo’s) favorite number. I know…by now….314 digits of pi. Yes, 314 again. 😀

Neat Whale: Well, the Creators have finally opened up the new Dr. Hare mini quest that we have waited long for, even though that evil rude mind-controlling Dr. Hare is back anyway… but let’s get on with it… the quest costs 250 credits to play (CREATORS! WAY TOO HIGH!) the Haunted House quest was FREE! FREE I SAY! A FREE 50 CREDS!.. ..ok, ok, I’ll calm down now….. and here’s the guide that I wrote to help you all out:

1 – The quests begins! Jump up onto the rocks and ledges until you reach a metal-looking-ish thing with a Rabbot sign above it (that sign never stops scaring me) and a box of carrots on a rock near it (Not again!) Enter the building. Then you will appear in another metal looking room. Why all the metal, Dr. Hare. Just wondering. It makes your hideout standout. Get it?…Um ok yea moving on…

2 – Go right over a floating platform to the right, near an ad for membership (very nice, Dr. Hare. Ads. I love it.) Then you will come across a man with a pink eyepatch (not very manly sailor) pink lab coat (still not manly) and clipboard. Talk to him. He will tell you that you are in one of Dr. Hare’s secret lairs, he was a mind-slave of Dr. Hare, and that he made a very creepy looking robot to the right which will help him with evil plans. Again with the evil plans. Why not good plans? Why? Click on the robot cage to your right. You then say that you need three colored cards. Go back on the sliding-down thingy and go right once at the bottom. Click on the red Dr. Hare door.

3 – (This is beginning to seem a lot like the Race to Witch Mountain thing, huh?) Go right after the stupid annoying little laser like thing and get on the floating thing with a box. Then, let it pull you up until you’ve reached a platform with a red button at the end of it. Push the box onto the red thing. The blocked door above will open. Now, to get to the upper platform, go left and hide behind the carrot boxes from the guards (creepy looking right?) Then jump up, jump right, and get the red key card.

4 –  Now, go left above the bearded guard, and hop onto yet another floating platform with a box. When you come across another flooring, push the box onto it because it has the purple (purple is the best color in the world, just saying) button. Then go back on the floating platform and ride it up to the other platform with bearded guard on it, hide behind a box, and then jump up onto the now unlocked room with the purple card. (Purple is still awesome.)

5 – Now, go down down down. Below the entrance. Below the thing with more lasers. And ride another platform down where you have to hide behind another box from a weird person with an afro. A little farther over from you it the blue card slot. Now, ride the platform up again above the thing with lasers, and go to the edge. There should be a box at the end. Push the box off the end and it will smash on the ground near/on the blue switch. Push it onto it if it isn’t already on it. If you push it off the end like I did the first time, you’re dead and you need to start over. Now if it is on it, yaeeeey for you and run over on top of the other platforms with the lasers, onto the moving platform, into the room with the blue card, then you grab the blue card, scream with joy, ride the floating platform back up again, go out through the entrance… you get the main idea.

6 – Rush up to the top where the robot is, open it up with your cards, and–WHAT?! Only 50 credits?! RIP OFF CREATORS!! RIP OFF!!! And the costume only makes you a robot. Now where’s Dr. hare? I wanted to blast him off into space again because last time it was fun. Well? WHERE IS HE?! Wait he’s still in space? Awww mannn… 😦 Well that fun anyway zD

Hijuyo: Check out this sneak peek posted on the Poptropica Facebook page! It looks like it belongs on the upcoming Mythology Island. This sketch was filed under a photo album titled “The Making of Poptropica”, and the description says, “A palace fit for a king — or maybe somebody even more powerful than that.”

Post Update: Poptropica in the news?! (Credit to Deathstalker from the PHF.)

PHF member Deathstalker recently uncovered this article on Poptropica, written by the Herald Journal. (Click here to read it)

The article, besides including a lot of information that gives us insight into what goes into making Poptropica, gives us the low down on who are its Creators. Much of the information we already knew, thanks to the work of our top stalkers.

Speaking of stalkers, the article even drops a quote from Leary, directed at the stalkers:

“The site may be a big business with millions of fans, but “for us were just having fun,” Leary said, despite the legion of “12-year-old stalkers” who constantly write letters wanting to know when the next “island” will come out and what it will be like.” – from “A world on the web – Logan design team makes cartoon idea a (virtual) reality (Poptropica)”

Ahem, Mr Leary – I’m not 12. Don’t force me to call your house again.

Another great thing about this article is the photography, specifically the pictures – which can be seen below.

He's watching. Always. And so is Shark Boy.

Jordan Leary poses (who’s bad!) with Shark Boy.

When Jordan speaks, everyone listens. Except those two guys behind him. They just keep working. Or whatever they're doing.

The Creators at work? o_O

Anyway, this is a great article – once again, you can read it here. Be sure to let us now what you think in the comments! =D

Hey guys! Long time no post, eh? 😛 Anyway, check out this mysterious costume I found:

Buz Lightyear visits Poptropica
Buzz Lightyear? O_O

In the Avatar Studio: http://bit.ly/9B3Fnx

Can you say “Toy Story 3 Ad”? I know I can!

Me: Toy Story Three A-
Random Person: WE KNOW YOU CAN SAY IT! JUST GET ON WITH THE POST!
Me: You betta recognize! (o_O)

Anywho, this looks like a costume from an upcoming Toy Story 3 Ad, which, BTW, is THE BEST MOVIE EVA. 😀

THIS IS...STAR COMMAND!!!
Who's your daddy? Buzz is. =D

The best part about this costume happens to be the wings – they retract in and out so wickedly!!! Besides, who can get enough of Buzz Lightyear staring at you with a look that says “I own you. And yes –  I am the bomb. *muscle flex; manly grunts*”? The bad part is the fact that you can’t fly with them. 😦 Trust me – I tried at the Mountains in Time Tangled. Lets just say Buzz isn’t going to be going to infinity…or anywhere else, for a while.

To wrap up this post, I leave you foolish mortals (MUHAHAHAH *ahem*) with this trailer for the upcoming Toy Story 3 movie:

What would you like to see me create next?

OK, I was thinking today – and I came up with zip. Zilch. Nada. Bip. Bing. Ting. Tat. Fip. In other words, nothing. Anyway, here was the question: “What is the BEST thing I could create, that would service Poptropicans/PHB readers the most?” So hopefully, your brains are working better than mine is right now. 😛

Oh – and don’t make it something that’s out of this world, like say, a credits generator. And yes, I know that that’s exactly what you were thinking. And yes, I am psychic. And yes, I am standing behind you as you read this. Boo.

But getting on – if you have any good ideas, I mean really good ideas, hit me with em’. If yours is chosen, you’ll get tons of credit. No, not CREDITS, you greedy little man, CREDIT. Two different things. Don’t get it mixed up.

So COMMENTTTTTT nowz. Thanks you. And YES, I said THANKS you. Deal with it.

Thanks,
A MadMan.

BTW – Don’t forget all the awesome posts below. Check em’ out, g-dog:

It’s…DaVinci! (No, famous people aren’t coming back from the dead)
Kickin’ it with the Creators (Luckily, the Creators survived with minor injuries)

Lastly, sending accounts has been delayed – mostly cause I just haven’t had the time. But don’t worry, you’ll get them. 😉
