Poptropolis Games Island

Samwow5’s Take on the Poptropolis Games 2013!

POP1

Hello everyone! Recently Poptropolis Games 2013 came out, not to our surprise, so I’m going to do a review of the whole island and what it has to offer!

Overall Gameplay:  A-/B+

The game was great, like last time. But I wished they would have changed it up for the WINTER Olympics to make it more fun instead of pretty much the same thing.

Soundtrack: A

The new soundtrack was awesome! Great detail into the music, even they have rock sounds in this island! But what I dislike about it is: When your intense mode and trying to focus, you hear this relaxing music and it annoys me. Still very well made!

Skiing and Octopus Volleyball: A

The games were amazing, but I wished they added a touch that will blow the others away. Like, you can ski over different surfaces and avoid stuff (BTW that was pretty hard). Very great games though!

Bonus Quest: B

Same as last year, still wish they would have added more. Anyway, the bonus quest was awesome, but that wrestlers is kinda scary looking O_o xD

Here’s the results for me! I hate the Triple Jump……..

Hey everyone! When I became an author, I decided to ask Fishy about a party, so… here it is: the first ever TIB/PHB Christmas Party! If you don’t live in the US, use this time converter to find what time the party will be in your time zone. For US residents, the party will be at 8pm EST, 7pm CST, 6pm MST, 5pm PST.

Bring your Santa hats, candy canes, and other Christmastime gear! Get ready to battle in Multiverse rooms, add some new friends to your list, and maybe even win a rare costume prize! The party takes place on the PHC (Poptropica Help Chat), and along with chatting on Xat, we’ll be sharing Multiverse codes so we can meet on Pop!

To access the chat, click “Chat” in the navigational bar at the top of this blog or go to xat.com/thephc. The chat will be moderated, so it’s safe, and any rule-breaking will result in a kick or ban, so please don’t spoil the fun. If you have any questions, ask me in the comments! It’s going to be tons of fun, so join in the party!

Did you know Icicles are Tough?

Samwow5
Well, at least this one is.

Hello, world of the PHB! I’m so happy my good friend Slanted Fish aka Fishy, invited me to join the best blog in the world! You might know me from writing guides here, on the PHB, or from The TIB, my personal blog. To help Fishy I will try to post at least once a week. Here’s a little info about me:

I’m a 14-year-old boy who lives in the southern U.S.A. I love baseball, soccer, and swimming, but most of all God! I have been playing Poptropica for 4 to 5 years now, and my username is Samwow5. My music interests are Owl City, Neon Trees, Maroon 5, Flo-Rida, The Wanted, B.o.B, Nelly, and Bruno Mars.

That’s all for now at least! I hope you will like me as an author PHB viewers. I hope to contribute to this blog as much as I can.

The Blake Bomb has been released. Get ready, Poptropica…

The Blake has arrived! Release the bombs! Fire the missles! THROW THE CHEEEEEESE!

*runs inside, throws down bags* Woah, woah, hold the phone! I know I stole that outfit from the Store, but no need to get all worked up! *walks over to couch* Well. Let’s get started. *pulls out computer and begins to type*

Hey guys, Blake here! I’m so happy to be a part of the esteemed PHB, a feat I’ve dreamt of accomplishing for five years. Five LONG years, might I add.. *glares at Juyo*

I’m basically just your average 13-year-old Poptropica loving boy. Some of my fave bands are Hollywood Undead and Owl City on occasion. My Poptropica username is mickety2, but you probably won’t find me often (but if you want to accomplish this, I can usually be found anywhere, often on the newer islands.) You might remember me as the guy who wrote the Poptropica Adventures guide.

Did you write that guide, or did you steal it like that outfit?

Quiet, you! Anyway, I plan to bring a lot to this blog, including, but most certainly not limited to:

-My *strikes Project Runway pose* FABULOUS walkthroughs
-My *sulks* less fabulous video playthroughs once I get some recording software bugs out
-And my amazing minisodes, filled with humor an-

The Creators didn’t think you were humorous!

QUIET! TRYING TO INTRODUCE MYSELF HERE! So anyway, filled with humor and sometimes drama. I hope you guys will like me as the newest author (and not beat me up and toss me in a dumpster), and I hope to get another post out next week. Get ready, Poptropica. The Blake Bomb has been dropped.

I’m confused, was that a terrorism threat or a pun? *gets out the tazer*

It was a metaphor! A metaphor, for Poptropica’s sake! Anyway guys, bye! *throws down smoke bomb. As it dissolves, you can still see me crouched behind a lamp*

..Oh, you can still see me… *runs out the back door* NOWHERE AND EVERYWHERE!
