Hey everyone! There’s one more day left to send in your submissions into the magazine! I know you have waited for a while to see and read it, so HP and I are going to do something special for the magazine. I can’t tell you what it’s going to be, but it’s going to be on Saturday (March 8) in the afternoon. Anyway, the release date for the next issue of the magazine is March 8, 2014 (issues come out every two months)! The deadline to send in submissions for this issue is March 6, 2014 at 11:59PM CST.

Entries you can send in include: Stories (Poptropican fan fiction),  Island Ideas (what kind of islands would you like to see on Pop?), Fan Art (drawings, poems, comics, etc!), and Fashion (send us some Multiverse or common room pics to show what the current trends are!). Think of your ideas and send them in! You never know, you might make the magazine!

P.S. I also have a contest going on my blog and I’m giving away rare Creator costumes!

Survival Island

Survival & Deep Dive: the next Poptropica Island(s)?

EDIT #3: Along with Wind Power, there’s also a Ghillie Suit waiting to be released! And if that wasn’t enough, Survival Island + Deep Dive Island are now split apart into 3 parts on the SUI list! The second episode for Survival will be “Hook, Line, and Sinker“. Fishy? :3

EDIT #2: The Wind Power item is now gone! All we have left of the memory is this picture… or not! 😛

EDIT #1: A “Wind Power” members only card has been added to the store (thanks Squeezy Wing for the initial update), along with an empty slot where a card should be. I can’t seem to buy or use the card — how about you? These aren’t just the normal gold cards — they’re for an island (or an episode), as listed at the top of the card:

windpower

Survival – Episode 1? Things are starting to get interesting! 😀 By the looks of the card graphic, it seems like this is related to those winterscapes from the Daily Pop. Check back on this post to get the latest news.

Anyway, I’ve got two new pieces of oh-so-valuable information — the names of the upcoming islands!

The first island may have been the one who won the Dream Island Contest, but perhaps not, since they only decided the island last Friday. The fish/survival camp Daily Pops have been appearing much sooner than that — but nonetheless, Fuzzy-B was right! Without further ado, I bring you Survival Island and Deep Dive Island!

How do you know?! It’s all in the files! Listed along with upcoming SUIs like Mythology Island are the names Survival and Deep Dive. Strangely, the urls “survivalisland.com” and “deepdiveisland.com” do not redirect to Poptropica — perhaps they haven’t purchased them yet?

Even more is revealed about Survival Island. It looks somewhat like a fetch quest, where you have to find and assemble a handbook, build a fire, and push a boulder. The items in the island include an Ax Handle, Dry Kindling, Flint, a Handbook, Logs, Mittens, a Nest, a Striker, and some Wet Kindling… this seems quite vague for a full island. What are the odds that this is just a Mini-Quest?

Something about the story is obvious — there is a crash landing that leaves you stranded in the wilderness. The picture below is from the actual code… what could have gone wrong?

Gretchen Grimlock comes to mind, but in all seriousness, what are these? They don’t seem to have a Main Street, they have no island urls, and they seem very short. Survival Island anyway. Are they just Mini-Quests? Only time will tell. More about the islands in posts to come.

HPuterpop

(¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.-> 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. 🙂

Mission Atlantis Island

Poptropica Hobbies: Underwater Basket Weaving

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!

Underwater underwater2

underwater3 underwater4

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?

Advertisements

Wanna mix up a Mixels Max?

Blake

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.

electroids zap

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.
