The Text Adventure (commentary by Omegon!!!)

THE REIGN OF OMEGON LIVES.

SALUTATIONS AGAIN, EARTH-DWELLERS. IT IS I, OMEGON, HERE WITH AN UPDATE THAT MAY INTEREST YOU ALL. I CAN SEE BY YOUR CONSTANT SASSING IN THE COMMENTS OF MY LAST POST THAT THIS WILL BE RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY BECAUSE IT INVOLVES THE CLEVER CRAFT OF WORDS.

APPARENTLY THIS IS A NEW PROJECT CALLED “POPTROPICA: THE TEXT ADVENTURE.” WHICH IS BASICALLY POPTROPICA WITH JUST A BLACK SCREEN AND WHITE TEXT. GENIUS!

PopZork_intro

OH LOOK, THEY HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN “IMPOSSIBLE PUZZLES THAT PLAYERS SOLVE BY LOOKING UP WALKTHROUGHS”. AFTER ALL, THAT’S WHY THIS BLOG EXISTS, RIGHT?

YES OF COURSE I WANT TO MAKE YOU CRY, CAPTAIN CRAWFISH. AND AFTERWARDS, I WILL NOM YOU AND FEED YOUR REMAINS TO THE PHB READERS LIKE THE GREAT VILLAIN I AM. NO, YOU’LL NEVER TAKE ME DOWN. NOT LIKE THIS CURSED CTHULU…

PopZork_boss

POOR GUY. HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO WREAK HAVOC ON POPTROPICA AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.

BESIDES, THE ADS ON POPTROPICA ARE KIND OF LIKE ME AND MY HENCH-BOTS – THEY ENTICE YOU WITH THEIR CHARM AND BAM! YOU’VE BECOME ONE OF THEM. THEY SAY THE ADS ARE HARMLESS, BUT THINK ABOUT IT, THEY’RE JUST AS DIABOLICAL…

WELL ANYWAY, IF YOU WERE HOPING TO TRY YOUR HAND AT THIS BEAUTIFUL TEXT ADVENTURE, I’M AFRAID YOU’RE GOING TO FIRST GET YOURSELF SOME GOOD OLD-FASHIONED FLOPPY DISC-COMPATIBLE COMPUTERS, WHICH IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE (NOT TO MENTION INCONVENIENT!) IN THIS DAY AND AGE. SERIOUSLY, WHAT ERA DOES CAPTAIN CRAWFISH LIVE IN?? I TOLD YOU HE WAS BETTER OFF BEING EATEN.

BUT HEY, IT’S APRIL, AND FROM WHAT I HEAR, FOOLISH THINGS CAN HAPPEN. NOT FROM ME, OF COURSE; I AM INFALLIBLE.

BY THE WAY, MY TAKEOVER OF THIS WEBSITE IS GOING WELL. THE PHB STAFF HAVE BECOME MY HENCH-BOTS, AND MANY HAVE FALLEN VICTIM TO ONE OF THE CLASSIC BLUNDERS – THE MOST FAMOUS OF WHICH IS “NEVER GET INVOLVED IN A LAND WAR IN POPTROPICA” – BUT ONLY SLIGHTLY LESS WELL-KNOWN IS THIS: “NEVER GO IN AGAINST OMEGON WHEN DEATH IS ON THE LINE!!!”

WITH THOSE WORDS OF WISDOM IN MIND, I SHALL END THIS POST. PEACE OUT. TYRANNY IN!

Thank You! (from Tobor)

THE REIGN OF OMEGON LIVES.

I have to thank you all so much for your assistance so far!

A few of you certainly were able to give me help in order to habilitate in the new WordPress blogging environment! Mostly the fact that I can make a decent post thanks to a look around on the official WordPress guide, as well as you guys of course!

Over time, I feel I’ll be able to get better, and who knows? Maybe I’ll get my own blog one day! Even though it might not be as great as the juggernaut that is the Poptropica Help Blog, there’s a possibility that I could make an equally good blog. GONe will be the days of my noobish self as I continue on my journey here! 😛

Haha, I can’t grow too confident yet though. And neither should you… after all I’m hardly the first to begin my sentence of serving this blog with a thank-you letter. See you all later!

THE REIGN OF OMEGON LIVES.

Hi. My name – at least online name – is ToborAureum. You probably never have heard of me, but can I ask you a favor? I need tips on how to make my own functional blog. I know you are really good at it and I’m happy you are so good at it. I don’t wish to embarrass myself on my own blog, though – I just need some help from people to get the hang of it.

Don’t worry, I won’t stay long here. I’ll go as soon as I’ve learned as much as I can. Thank you 🙂

Realms update: pixies, hammer abilities, weather & more!

realms promotional

Hey guys, BT here speaking from the newly updated Poptropica Realms. I make this post for you guys to get the scoop on the new updates and features!

Firstly, you can get a free Realms Builder costume with the promo code GOREALMS. But moving on – as you can see here, I’ve gotten myself into quite a bit of a pickle – in the form of these Twilight Pixies.

freaking fairies

They’re almost like the dryads from Twisted Thicket – except even more freaking annoying! They like to swarm you and take away 10 Poptanium pieces per hit in the night and the first few minutes of sunrise. As a result, you’re forced to either try to combat them with your hammer, or do what I did and make a little hidey-hole to keep away from them if a lot are looking at once. Sometimes, if they do steal your Poptanium, and if you’re quick enough, you can hit them with your hammer while they are fleeing and you can get the stolen Poptanium back!  These new additions can be pretty tricky, so watch out for them!

After being able to dodge the pixies by waiting for day time to come, I decided to go to a land realm to mine to make up for the Poptanium the pixies stole. Luckily, I reached level 5 so I was able to destroy the ground via Ground Pound below me much quicker- and I hope to gain more hammer abilities as I continue to level up – the Hammarang and the Super Jump.

ground pound

However, as I was going through my day pounding the ground and being careful to avoid water and lava, a 10 second rain storm came and went – weather had been added to Realms, and I had the misfortune of forgetting to bring an umbrella.

Thirty seconds passed and another rainstorm hit, this time, with thunder in the background – yet no sign of lightning. Sheesh, we’re in such a rainy place, aren’t we?

Also, the snow realm has well, snow, the sand realm has sandstorms, the swamp biome has acid rain, and the lunar biome has… meteors. So yeah, better have some kind of safe spot for the latter two.

rain weather

After the rain came and went, dusk was beginning to fall, and I knew that the Twilight Pixies would return again and try to take my Poptanium away. As I built my shelter underneath the ground, I leveled up, and I was greeted by this random Viking guy.

He’s been tutoring me on things that I somewhat already knew from my experience with Poptropica Land, along with advice to help with the new updates. I don’t know who this is or where he came from. I believe he was the original master creator but I don’t think I’ve leveled up high enough to confirm it. However, I did see someone wear his cap so I’m guessing he is the master creator, and his costume is the reward for reaching level 15.

After a bit, I did get hungry so I got out my hammer and formed an apple at the price of 1 poptanium piece. I found that I could now eat the apple – and in fact, any food- and it would regenerate my health quicker – perfect for the times I’d accidentally fall into lava! There are also more interactive props to play around with, so explore all the props you can!

yum

So with these new updates to Realms, the worlds has grown more diverse and dangerous, adding on new challenges and objectives as you create and destroy the worlds around you. Have fun, Poptropicans!

BT out. 😉

Sponges out of water, Remarkable Realms, and Omegon poster!

What’s popping, Poptropicans? Blake here, with another – well, a few pieces of Poptropica news. First up is the new ad on Super Power Island, based on The Spongebob Movie: Sponge out of Water! You could say that this is a pointless cash grab that is clearly not going to be any better than the one released in 2005. All rants aside, though, I’d like to personally thank Prickly Monster for the ad alert.

Now, am I just deranged, or is it SO WEIRD seeing a Nickelodeon ad of any sort on Poptropica? Like really, seeing the words “Krabby Patty” in Poptropica font just killed me with laughter for some reason. Anyway, Sandy, or.. *grabs Spongebob Lingo Dictionary* ..The Rodent.. okay.. will tell you that Burger Beard has stolen the Krabby Patty formula. You’re then taken to the ad game’s start screen, instructing you to run, jump over the cannonballs, and stay behind the pirate ship.

Now, don’t get upset if you don’t beat it on the first try. I didn’t, and I had Spongebob and Patrick behind me laughing at my every failure. Once you get through the cannonball onslaught, you’ll be awarded with Ice Cream Rain and a Bubble Hat. Really? No square pants? I was really hoping for some square pants here… Anyway, check out the above pics for what they look like!

Next up, after visiting Spongebob and the gang, it’s time to head onto the Realms side of Poptropica! The Creators are doing what they did with Lands by showcasing people’s works! First up in their new “Remarkable Realms” blog series is this recreation of the Taj Mahal by Bronze Singer:

That’s the one they posted on the official blog, but over on Twitter, they’ve featured several more awesome Realms. One is clearly from a Golden Fang, but the others are not credited.

And now, to wrap it up, are you ready for the REIGN OF OMEGON? That’s right, the Creators tweeted a sneak peek of what appears to be the printable poster for PoptropiCon: Episode 3 (with a tag to the Twitter handle of our very own Brave Tomato!). Stare at the awesomeness of Omegon, and worship in the “Avengers: Age Of Ultron” name pun that even I wouldn’t have thought of…

Anyway, that’s all for now! Stay popping, Poptropica- *is taken down by Henchbots* Wait, what are you guys doing? I’m an author! I’LL SUE!

*a small shadow appears in a cloud of smoke*

Yes.. Stay popping, Poptropicans indeed…
