Introducing… Fuzzy-B!

Fuzzy-B

Hey guys, I’m Fuzzy-B and I am the newest author here at the PHB! I would like to thank Slanted Fish so much for letting me join the blog. This is something that I have been dreaming of since I found out about the PHB back in 2009 from friends in my class. I hope to have a lot of fun here and post a lot of good updates. You may know me from the blog I run over here. Don’t worry, I will still post over there too.

A little about me is that I am a 14-year-old boy living in the central U.S.A. I love movies, running, and Jesus. I enjoy going to concerts, listening to music, and playing Poptropica (but that is obvious). “It’s been fun but now I’ve got to go, Life is way too short to take it slow, But before I go and hit the road I gotta know, till then, When can we do this again?”

Nothing better than an Owl City quote to end a post with, eh? ;)

Poptropolis News

Hey Poptropicans! Shaggy here. More disturbing news from the Poptropolis area! Check it:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DECEMBER 27, 2012 — Mews Foundation seismologists have verified reports of “sizable tectonic activity” taking place beneath the Poptropolis Games. “We’ve heard the stories about the island returning to the seas whence it came, but, frankly, we thought that smooth-talking emcee was just being dramatic,” said Mews Foundation spokesperson Cheerful Spinner. “However, at this time we are not confirming that the Poptropolis Games are, in fact, on the verge of sinking back into the sea.”

When asked if the Mews Foundation was denying that such an event was taking place, Spinner had no comment.

This is a breaking news story… updates as events warrant…

Sinking further.

Hmm, it does seem to be sinking further and further down compared to what BT took last. So what do you guys think? Are they sinking back into oblivion for the next 100 years? Or is it something else? Leave your speculations in the comments! If the island is, in fact, sinking, I think you better finish Poptropolis Games and fast!

Have a Happy New Year! 😀

Non-member access to the typically members-only Costume Closet will be ending this Saturday, December 22. Your costumes will still be there, but you’ll need membership to get them.

There’s a new ad for Monsters, Inc. which will be in theaters December 19 in 3D. Watch the trailer video and get a new costume! Boys will get the Mike Wazowski Hat and girls will get the Boo Costume. Thanks Mad Tornado and Ayman351! Looking totally spiffy there.

Oh yeah, the PHB reached 7.5 million views! Have yourself a merry little fruitcake!

Note to the above: If you took one, you’re now a zombie. Didn’t we warn you not to eat any fruit??

Zomberry login screen

Hey guys, Zomberry Island is now available for Poptropican Members! Nonmembers can play the demo, but they have to wait until Thursday, January 10th to play the whole thing. And as you can see above, the screen has dimmed and the homepage has its regular Poptropicans replaced with a bunch of….slow….moving…zombies………..really…..slow…moving….

There’s no guide for it yet, but stay tuned to the Poptropica Help Blog for one coming soon! 😉 Update: Check out the Zomberry Island Guide page and get help from the full walkthrough written by Samwow5. The video playlist and map is also up.

To those who have played it, what do you think? You can share here or on the PHB’s Zomberry Island discussion page!

BT out!
