Shark Boy = Nate Greenwall???

I’m sure all of you remember the post about Nate Greenwall right? Well I think Nate is actually Shark Boy! Take a look at this new post from the PCB:

And I found this image on another one of Nate’s blogs:

nateOffice1

And yes, that is Nate Greenwall himself. Notice that both offices are the same. Even though some obects were moved, taken away, or added, it is still the same office.

Now that raises another question, who is Comic Kid? The comments on this post contained some possible answers to this question:

Rachel said:
I think that Comic kid = Jeff Kinney, because you know how Jeff Kinney wrote “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”? Well its very cartoony, which makes me think of comics. It’s just a guess, but who knows?

Grey Flame said:
Also, it’s kind of funny that Jeff Kinney’s (Comic Kid?)series is ‘Diary of a Wimpy KID’ and his (maybe) name is Comic KID.
I found that cool 😀

Update! We also have evidence that the Poptropica Creators view this site! Thanks for finding this, Cheerful Claw! A post titled “Poptropica” on Nate’s blog says:

As some of you know or have found out I, along with a lot of other awesome people, work for Poptropica; however, I am NOT the one to email or ask questions about Poptropica. I am like crazy busy – I hardly have time to even look at my blog or even post.

If you do have Poptropica questions here are some good sites to check out:
Official Poptropica FAQs
Family Education Contact Page
The Poptropica Help Blog

Wow, that’s awesome – if you click on the words “The Poptropica Help Blog”, it links to the PHB! Hi, Poptropica Creators! 😀

Interesting! Any more ideas and investigations? Comment below and tell us!

Hermitspeak

What an interesting toungue that words of mystery flow through. Yes, we all know that Hazmat is a bit loopy but this is just weird.

But don’t panic. The languge he is using is a type of Programing language used in computers and preferably games e.g. Poptropica.

If you don’t know, Poptropica is developed with a program called ‘Adobe Flash’. It is a program where anyone can make games and movies with it (I use it too. 😀 I might make a poptropica movie with it too oneday?). The text in the speech bubble below is probably ‘Action Script’ which is from Flash. From Action Script you can run commands and make things happen in the game.
E.g. When you click on this button here. It will make this explode here. WHY DID YOU PRESS IT!

Whether or not this coding is actually from Poptropica or its just Hazmat…being Hazmat, we don’t know. 😛
What do you think?

What we can tell from the script: 
It has something to do with a Bomb that will explode at any moment because of some kind of  CD-o-Matic 10,000, but it appears it can be dropped. Phew! BUT MAJORLY ITS HAZMATS SECRET PLAN!
What on earth could that possibly be about. An evil island ruled by Hazmat Hermit? An island covered with toxic waste? What do you think? Comment what you think?

ST posting:
There’s also a new poll on the Creators’ Blog asking, “What is your all-time favorite island?” I voted for Nabooti Island, although Time Tangled comes a close second and Big Nate third in my mind. The majority of Poptropica’s players think a little differently, though. Here are the current results:

Island Name | Percentage
Early Poptropica | 2%
Shark Tooth | 2%
Time Tangled | 5%
24 Carrot | 3%
Super Power | 12%
Spy | 39%
Nabooti | 12%
Big Nate | 22%

Don’t get mad, Mr. Glove.

“Hello, sir. I hope you’re not feeling mad at anybody today,” laughed Vlad the Viking as he stepped into the Hair Club of Spy Island. He’d found another new friend to make as usual.

“Good day, Vlad! Nope, that’s just my name: Mad Glove. Would you like to go out to the BAD Bistro for lunch after a quick game of Soupwords?” replied the spiky, orange-haired boy standing near the entrance of the building. He put his hand to his chin, as if he were about to challenge Vlad to a game. This would make a great picture!, thought the Viking, as he raised his camera. FLASH! Vlad laughed again as he tucked his new photo into an album, to put into his blog later.

“Cool camera,” commented Mad Glove. “Thanks,” replied Vlad, “And yes, I’d love to go to the bistro with you. Spaghetti for the win!” 

When Vlad got back home, he took out the photo he’d taken of his new friend and smiled. Then he booted up his computer and typed in a new entry into his blog:

In this installment of Snapshot Sagas, I went on a trip to the Hair Club on Spy Island. While wandering around near the entrance I met another great Poptropican named Mad Glove! Congratulations Mad Glove, you are the newest Poptropican featured on Snapshot Sagas!

Keep watching for my viking hat and beard, you may be the next Poptropican featured on Snapshot Sagas!

And that ends another Snapshot Saga with Vlad the Viking. Remember to check out thy King’s announcement below, too.

And in honor of Earth Day, Poptropica’s Creators have designed a wonderful poster that encourages us to protect the planet! There goes the AK Island rocket, zooming round Earth!

Bigheaded Agents

The title is not quite what you might think it means! Agents should not be ‘bigheaded’, but on April Fools’ Day, everyone was!

Celebrating April Fools’ Day: On Poptropica!
If the PHB didn’t fool you, maybe Poptropica will, with the help of VladtheViking’s latest YouTube video!

…And that’s a visual summary of what happened on Poptropica for April Fools! Everyone’s head got bigger (players and non-player characters!), the Poptropica logo on the homepage was backwards, and when you loaded the Poptropica page, a bunch of Poptropicans in goofy glasses would come out. The Creators also included a special picture of Dr. Hare with their blog post (aprilfools.png):

Even the evil bunnies have fun! 😆
