(¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.-> Hi Gs, <-.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯)

It’s decided — along with the March issue of the Poptropican’s 911, the Poptropican Portraits Livestream March 2014 is going to be broadcasted this Saturday! And if that isn’t enough, I’m also releasing the 9th round of Poptropican Portraits on Saturday. 😀

The livestream will be hosted 7pm EST / 6pm CST 6pm EST / 5pm CST. The recording will be available to everyone via this post, so check back when the time comes. Along with Samwow5, I’m going to have even more special guests! You’ll have to tune in to find out who. 😉 Watch the recorded livestream below! ^-^

~~If you want to be drawn in the livestream, send your username to [email protected]. I will then draw one username from a hat, and that person will be drawn live! So start entering! 😀~~

You can find the livestream here, as well as on the PHC while it is going on. I’ll see you there. 😉

And, just wanted to mention that I just started making video walkthroughs for Poptropica! You can find the playlist including the two that I have made here. But while I have only two, you might want to check out the PHB’s (or should I say, PHV’s) Poptropica Help Videos channel, which contains a complete set of island walkthroughs. 🙂

Poptropica Hobbies: Underwater Basket Weaving

March 4, 2014April 15, 2014 Fuzzy-B

While strolling through the Daily Pop recently I found some images sharing a common theme: underwater. What could this mean? That can mean only one thing: Poptropicans may be heading under the sea for a new adventure sometime soon. I just hope that we have a better quest than underwater basket weaving!

See urchins, spike covered fish, submerged mines – it looks like the oceans of Poptropica could be very dangerous! What could possibly be the plot of this Quest? The last time an island featured an underwater theme, we had to save a ship from sinking! What could be more dramatic then that? Whatever it is, this seems very exciting!

These scary fish and dangerous explosives leave me very excited to see what this could be! What do you think? What could we possibly be doing underwater this time?

Wanna mix up a Mixels Max?

What’s popping, Poptropicans? Blake here, back off vacation, coming at you with a very blocky Poptropica ad. This time it’s an ad for LEGO’s new line of Mixels, which go for about 5 bucks at any local store. Pick up one today! One place you can find this ad is Main Street of Mocktropica.

So anyway, this ad features two powers: the Cragster Stomp (below) and the Electroids Zap (above). These are both based on two of the three Mixel tribes. Ideally, I’d like to see them come out with more powers for the ad space when Mixels Series 2 and 3 come out.

cragster stomp

There’s also a quiz you can take and win… absolutely NOTHING. As usual. *rolls eyes*

That’s pretty much all you can do in this ad, so on to what the powers actually do. I decided to test these out on some unsuspecting Islanders on Red Dragon, but you can do it wherever you want…

The Cragster Stomp transforms you into a Cragster, which is the black Mixel tribe. You stomp, which shakes the ground and knocks out every Poptropican in your wake. The Electroid Zap transforms you into the yellow Mixel and you shoot static. All in all, pretty lame prizes compared to what we’ve gotten in the past. So, this is Blake, signing off. Stay popping, Poptropicans.

Dr. Hare LEGO project turned down

March 2, 2014March 3, 2014 Slanted Fish

Remember the big campaign last year for the Dr. Hare’s Lair project on LEGO CUUSOO to reach 10,000 supporters so that it could be considered for production? We haven’t heard from the Creators on this since the goal was reached last August, but this is what shows on the site now:

Yup… it looks like we’re not going to have a Poptropica LEGO set anytime soon. 😦 Apparently, the LEGO CUUSOO team had already reached this decision about a month ago (on Jan 30, 2014). The Creators never mentioned this, so had I not checked, I wonder when we would’ve found out. 😛

Here’s an excerpt of what they said about the decision:

2014.01.30

First and foremost, congratulations to PopCreators for reaching 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO, and toward everyone for all of the support of the Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair project! The results of the LEGO Review are in and you can see full details on the LEGO CUUSOO Blog.

Review Results for Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair

Our team has thoroughly considered the possibility of releasing this project as a LEGO set according to the criteria of the LEGO Review. Unfortunately the LEGO Review Board has decided that we will not produce this project as a set.

Thank you to PopCreators for the passion and creativity that went into this project, and to all of you who voted so that we would have the opportunity to consider this as a potential LEGO set. We’re sorry to deliver this disappointing news.

To read more, visit the archived Dr. Hare LEGO project page and scroll down. Personally, I quite like LEGO products, and to combine it with Poptropica would have been really cool, so I’m sad to hear that the final decision was a no. 😦 Still, at least we got some cool Dr. Hare stuff out of the campaign. 😛
