Hey guys! It’s me, motionman95.  Scary Tomato invited me to become a member of this blog. I’ll be posting about updates to the PHF (such as the upcoming contest, or MAP!) as well as the updates on the PCB and Poptropica. I like to design graphics and code (2 of my projects can be seen in this post by ST!). I’m a super-ninja at Sky Dive, Hoops, and Paint War, so watch out! 🙂 My Poptropican name is Beefy Brain, and I live in the USA.  I’m 13 as of now, and but I’ll be 14 in October. Thanks for reading my first post! Please take some time to visit and sign up to the Poptropica Help Forums!

Golden Eagle

It’s me, Golden Eagle! Scary Tomato kindly invited me to work here at this awesome blog! I’ll be posting Creator’s Blog updates and other stuff that even I don’t know about. I live for Soupwords and that’s the only game I play, and I’m always looking for a challenge. I’ve beat all the islands, too.  I also have a bunch of Poptropicans, about eight of them (was seven, but Sanzulines on the PHF convinced me to have an even number). I usually check on all my Poptropicans once a day, and pick a random one to play with. All my Poptropicans have at least four stars.

I live in the USA, but in the East, so I live in Eastern Standard time (EST). Those of you who live in America will see me more often than some of the other blog staff that live across the world. But anyway, I’m on summer vacation until August 26. When I start school I promise I’ll check up when I can.

I’m 12 as of right now, and my birthday is on April 14. I also work on one more blog, Poptropical Thunder’s Blog, and I am a active member of the PHF.

I hope you will like me!

Poptropican’s 911: Issue #3

Slanted Fish

[We have updated our blog header – thanks, Codien!]

Sorry for the one-day late post, but yesterday the PHB added the third issue of the Poptropican’s 911 newsletter to the 911 page! This month we have loads of cool stuff loaded onto that 1 page, including TEN stories written by many creative authors! There is also an idea for ”Olympic Island” in there, for those of you who love historical sports, and a comic revealing that an alien working at Pewter Moon’s AstroZone store has been lying to its customers! Go on, you know you have to read August 2009’s newsletter:

The treasures are waiting!

We’ve also updated our monthly Poptropica Poll. This time, the answers are multiple choice – so if more than one answer suits you, choose as many options as you desire! (Keep in mind that because everyone is allowed to vote for more than one answer, it may not total up to exactly 100%.) Our latest question reads, ”Which Poptropica Creator(s) have you met so far?”, and it’s based on which Creators you have been meeting hanging around in the all-new Multiverse or some other Main Street multiplayer room!

July 2009’s poll question was, ”Reality TV Island is coming this summer! I’m most excited about:” Here are the results:

Option | Votes | Percentage
Playing another awesome Poptropica island quest | 268 | 16%
Earning 100 credits to spend at the Poptropica Store | 109 | 7%
Having more possibilities with the Costumizer so I can update my outfit | 54 | 3%
Exploring the whole island to complete another Map | 51 | 3%
Winning the Island Medallion to add to my collection | 41 | 3%
Having another multiplayer room to hang out at | 16 | 1%
All of the above! | 1,050 | 64%
What’s Reality TV Island? | 53 | 3%

Announcement:
We have changed the ”Poptropica Talk” page to ”Poptropica Chat”. This is because we’ve added a new feature on that page: a chatbox, which we call the Poptropica Help Chatroom! You can also access it here: http://xat.com/Poptropica_Help. 😉

Yesterday I met some more PHB readers! Golden Eagle invited me to her Multiverse room, where I got to see lots of cool Poptropicans, including Smockers, an awesome author working at this blog! Some other people I saw were Shaggy Tornado, Squeezy Monster, Speedy Hawk (known as Hoppy on PHB), Short Sun, Big Bird (AKA Deathstalker or Seph), Speedy Crown (sometimes called Poptropicalover), Popular Storm, and Dangerous Claw (Johnmoo on PHF). There were a few others as well, but they left before I could get their names. Here’s some photos of us:

Racing to Witch Mountain and Multiverse!

Slanted Fish

in this post…

Poptropica brings out a new ad; Walt Disneys: Race To Witch Mountain. An awesome mini adventure about saving two aliens from captivity. We have even provided a video to help you.

Scary Tomato catches up with some new friends in the wickedly new Multiverse.

And we share with you some electrifying new glitches.

Race to Witch Mountain: advertisement game

There’s currently a new advertisement building for all ages, which you can find on Main Street on any island! This is featuring Walt Disney’s Race to Witch Mountain, and the game in it is pretty simple. Push the boxes onto a colored button (gateway switch), and the color’s gateway will be unlocked. Collect the key inside the gateway (there are 3 of them: red, purple, blue).

Watch out for security guards – try hiding behind the barrels so they won’t see you! A tip is that if you have the jetpack from Early Poptropica or the flying power from Super Power, use it!

The most interesting thing about this advertisement is the items we we recieve. Only one of the 3 cards says that its limited time only. What does this mean? Do we get to keep the costumes?

Here’s a video guide for extra help:

Multiverse Meet-ups!

Today I met some more people from the PHF chat! Turns out that I missed Dr. Hare’s visit at ASH62, but I still got to meet many others from PHB and PHF. Most of us were doing the jumping glitch on the top floor of the crystal cavern, with Shy Turtle (AKA Anti Super Grape) being the most enthusiastic of all.

Dangerous Claw (known as Johnmoo on PHF) was wearing his Medusa hair. Jumpy Coyote, Moody Skull and I were also crazily hopping about. Tiny Star (Happyflame on the PHF chat) and Bronze Scorpion were our audience, and they supportively stood around to watch.

And according to Johnmoo on the PHF chat, Dr. Hare had been seen earlier today carrying different items such as a fishing rod, toilet plunger, flower, and some Store items, but he kept disappearing from the room.

I was also informed by Anon8348 and Lazy Feather that the caterpillar in the Shark Tooth dungeon has returned! If you’re a fan of this creepy crawlie, why not go pay a visit? 😛

Electrify glitches!

Dark Purple Electrify

Golden Eagle recently informed us of a ”Dark Purple Electrifier” glitch, which you can get using the following steps:

  1. Put on the Gothic Cheerleader outfit on ENTIRELY (mouth, bangs, everything).
  2. Put on any colored Electrify. (Bought at the Poptropica Store for 250 credits!)
  3. Click on the Save and Quit button (log out).
  4. Log back in. You should have dark purple Electrifier!

Note: If you change your outfit, save and come back later, it will still be there. It will disappear if you change Electrifier colors, use Phantom, etc. Golden Eagle said that she once saw dark green Electrify, but doesn’t know how to get it at the moment.

Sparks

Moody Skull and Magic Storm also mentioned a ”Electrify Glitch” where the sparks do not have color!

  1. Use the ‘Electrify’ item.
  2. Land on the Ice Planet on Astro-Knights. (Coordinates are 73, 83)
  3. Jump into the water.
  4. Now you should have Electrify sparks without color!

Black Electrify

Young Skunk told us this: “I (Young Skunk), was just having a fun Poptropica day (partying) when after a while I logged off, now later I’m back on, & I’m electrified black!”

She sent us some photos of her partying in her friends’ Multiverse rooms, in which she was wearing the light green Electrify. The photo on the right shows what happened when she logs back in – black Electrifier?! Here’s a pic:

Btw: The August 2009 issue of the PHB’s Poptropican’s 911 newsletter will be out tomorrow!
