The Not-So-Short Penguin

February 27, 2009August 22, 2010 Slanted Fish

Whoops, Vlad! Looks like 24 Carrot isn’t made up of gold after all! Thanks again, Neat Whale, for the update. Today Vlad the Viking met up with another Poptropican named Short Penguin and got him captured on Snapshot Sagas! This is his tale:

I couldn’t believe that I had made such a mistake. I thought to myself: what better place for a viking like me to conquer, than an island with the name of “24 Karat”? I imagined gold everywhere, it’s wealth bursting from the ground. Also, it was only a short trip from Super Power island.

I realized my error as soon as I had arrived, learning that the wealth bursting from the ground was in it’s CARROT crop… not gold.

I decided to join the group at the closed movie theater for a bit of bubblegum and a game or two, and ran into a Poptropican named Short Penguin! He wasn’t short by any means because he was just as tall as I, and we all know that I am of great stature! He was kind enough to stand still for his portrait amid the bustle of the crowd. Now I have another friend to add to my list!

Keep ever vigilant in watching for me, because you may be the next one featured in Snapshot Sagas!

Happy Valentine’s Day to Hyper Snowball and all other Poptropicans!

Because on Poptropica, we share the love too.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Enjoy the new header at the top – a special edition only for this weekend, designed by Codien!

Poptropica released another Snapshot Saga, this time Vlad has ventured over to the new island “Big Nate”. Thanks Shiny Leaf! This is his interview with his latest pal, Hyper Snowball:

Yesterday was a big day! I was marveling over the Future Machine inside Pendulum’s Lab when one of the assistants burst through the door excitedly. All I heard from the anxious scientist was something about a new island being discovered and I bolted outside! I was almost too late to board the airship as it began to float away, but I was able to grab the rope that dangled from the basket before it could soar out of reach.

I arrived swiftly with tired arms and raw hands, and was greeted by an unfriendly bird that knocked me from the rope. Why do I always have such difficult travels?

I soon found my way into Cap’n Salty’s, where I made friends with Hyper Snowball! Here is a snapshot of us in the kitchen looking for the cook. We were both very hungry, but couldn’t find anything to eat!

Keep looking for me as you travel the world of Poptropica, and you might be the next person featured in Snapshot Sagas!

Thank-you Mousyblack for notifying us when it was posted.
I, Codien, promise to show you a sneak peak of what the costumes look like when they are made. Also the next issue of PHB Sneak Peaks will have some of the costumes that you will get in the new Astro-Knights Island.

-PHB 400,000 Touchdown Countdown-
Yesterday in America the 43rd annual ‘Super Bowl’ was held. As an Australian i have know idea what it is but I’m guessing its some kind of cereal eating contest. No, i know what it is and i know the the Steelers won. Which is a shame because there was an Australian Football player in the Cardinals squad (I think he was the kicker guy). Did you guys watch the ads? 😀
But while I’m on the subject of football, Poptropica Help Blog is soon to score a touchdown of their own. And this time it’s worth 400,000.
So if you would like, i want you guys to count down, or rather count up to 400,000!
Lets do this!
Darn, you guys are too fast for my post. We have already hit 400,000! Wait a minute…WE HAVE REACHED 400,000!

PARTY! 400,000 PARTY! PARTY!

Thanks guys for getting to 400,000. We are getting more and more visitors everyday.
From the PHB Team: Thanks!. Without you guys we wouldn’t have a site….well we would but it wouldn’t be viewed. 😛

-400,000 View Punches-
[“Hey Tomato, lets give the computer 400,000 view punches!”]
[4 hours later…”399,998…399,999…400,000!”]
[“We did it, Woohoo…”]
[!SYSTEM ERROR! !SYSTEM ERROR! WINDOWS SHUTTING DOWN…]
[…]
[“Lucky we didn’t do that to Smockers…”]

Vlad’s Sleepy Friend and Poptropica Links is Open!

January 30, 2009April 2, 2009 Slanted Fish

Who’s that drinking their soda? It looks like… Vlad the Viking and Sleepy Whale!

Congratulations to Sleepy Whale on being featured for Snapshot Sagas! Thanks for this news, Mousyblack. It looks like Vlad has another big tale, too:

Soaring among the clouds was amazing! The friendly pilot from Nabooti was kind enough to aid me in my search for more Poptropicans to photograph, and we took to the skies. The noisy contraption, called an “airplane”, took us swiftly through the air, and for the first time I was silent with awe. My bliss did not last long, however, as the pilot shouted for me to put on a pack containing a “parachute”. I didn’t hesitate to don this parachute once the flying machine started making sickly sputtering noises while it sped toward the earth. I jumped and pulled the parachute’s rope.

Landing on the clouds, I came across a purple giant with a golden egg. I found my way to the ground by following directions given to me by the giant, and was overcome with a terrible thirst!

“The Soda Pop Shop is the best place on Early Poptropica to find a soda!” A friendly Poptropican informed me.

I was soon sipping a soda and chatting with a talkative fellow named Sleepy Whale. We spoke of the weather and of all things ice cream. It came time for me to go, but before I left I took a photo of my new friend! Thanks Sleepy Whale!

Remember to keep your eyes peeled, you may be the next one featured on Snapshot Sagas!
