For Halloween, the Creators gave us a little trick treat – a spooky new Poptropica desktop wallpaper! You can click on it to enlarge the image. To use it from there, right-click and choose to save it as your desktop picture. 🙂
In other news, Green Boa resigned from the PHB today to focus on his future. We’ll miss your awesome posts, GB! 😦 If you’d like, you can say goodbye to him here.
As the title probably gave away, this is my resignation post from the PHB. I’ve had an awesome time posting for you guys, but all good things must come to an end.
Nomming, poetry, tricks, poetry, Party With Hobos and casual blogging awesomeness has to eventually make way for transitions between schools, work (yes, I got a job!) and focusing on my future. I have to thank you all for supporting me, seriously, you’ve laughed at my jokes, congratulated me and made me feel so welcome. And goodbye to you all, commenters and authors, especially Slanted Fish, RD, Shaggy Tornado and MT.
It’s been a pleasure updating your computer screens, I hope I can keep in touch via comments every once in a while. 😉
We already have information about the upcoming Poptropica Nintendo DS game – see posts here and here. It’s called Poptropica Adventures, and now there’s a page on the Poptropica website for it! (Thanks, Fuzzy Bubble.) You can see it here.
(Warning: Cheesy female voice speaks in this ad/trailer video.)
Among the information on the page are: the trailer video (see above), pictures, description, where to buy, Poptropica wish list, E for Everyone rating, a quote from Jeff Kinney…
“We’re excited to bring the world of Poptropica to the Nintendo DS. We’ve picked three of our most popular Islands and given them a twist with exciting new challenges and storylines. We think kids will have fun exploring our world in an experience only the Nintendo DS can deliver!”
…and not only is all this available starting November 6th, but when you buy this, it comes with a redeemable code that gives you two free costumes! One is a lightning-studded warrior, and the other is a surfer, dressed in purple and with snake hair.
As we know, 4 new Poptropica books are coming out on November 8th, which is in a few weeks! To promote that, there’s now a Poptropica Books page which includes a free sample of the upcoming Poptropica Mad Libs book! Click here to try it out.
The top part of the new Poptropica Books page (see here)
There’s other things on there, including a list of places you can buy/preorder the new books, a message from Jeff Kinney also in a video, summaries for the Poptropica books, and even a link to the 2012 Poptropica toy wishlist.
Still, whether you plan to purchase anything or not, you get a free page of Mad Libs! So exciting. You get to: pick random words based on the parts of speech given, fill it in, and read your hilarious nonsensical story themed on Poptropica’s Haunted House!
So tell us in the comments, what did your Mad Libs story turn out to be? 😀
First of all, that island everybody’s been talking about, Super Villain Island, is now available to the public! If you are stuck while exploring the dark minds of four of Poptropica’s most devious foes, feel free to use our Super Villain Island Guidehere.
In other news, the information page for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is now up! Here’s what the island description reads:
After years of silence, Willy Wonka’s magical chocolate factory is re-opening, and you’ve got a Golden Ticket. But when a group of misbehaving kids threaten to destroy Wonka’s candy creations, he needs you to save the day. Prepare to untangle a confectionary conundrum that’s full of sweet treats and sticky situations!
So… from the sounds of things, there are going to be SIX golden tickets instead of the usual five. Us, plus Charlie Bucket, Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregard, and Mike Teevee. I’m eager to find out what will happen. But as of right now…
There’s no knowing where we’re going!
The desktop wallpaper and the printable poster gives us a very first look at the star of the show, Mr. Willy Wonka himself!

Holy hair cream, that’s a HUGE smile! o.o But hey, he’s Willy Wonka!

And here are a few more images from the information page…
On the info page, there are also links to buy the original book as well as the movie. The PHB also has a page where you can discuss this upcoming island here.
This is going to be fun! We do need a little light in Poptropica since the atmosphere of Super Villain Island’s release darkened it.
