PHB Sunday Special: Hole Tiemz!

Hello dear readers of the Poptropica Help Blog! Today we have a wonderful surprise for all you lovely children. You’ll like it even better if you’re a frequent reader of Party With Hobos, the comedy dialogue stories sponsored by the PHB, where nothing makes sense but you know it’s still gonna be awesome. And now, here’s your chance to laugh at the PHB authors! 😀

With that said, the lights dim, and you sit back to enjoy the show…

*at PWH studio*
Kyan – Welcome to Party with Hobos, the show in the format of stories that make kids laugh AND teaches them lessons! 😀
Ryku – Remember when we interviewed people?
Audience – *all at once* No!
Ryku – *gets saddened* Well, we used to do that.
Minotaur – And one of our most memorable interviews was that of the PHB crew playing Hole Tiemz! 😀
Wolfgang – What’s Hole Tiemz?
Minotaur – A game where you ask questions and if you make an answer that I don’t like, you fall through a hole into a world of broccoli.
Wolfgang – What’s a PHB?
Minotaur – Poptropica Help Blog.
Wolfgang – What’s a Poptropica?
Minotaur – Do I have to explain everything to you?
Wolfgang – Yes.
Minotaur – It’s a virtual world for kids.
Wolfgang – *rolls eyes* Thanks. You going ballistic on me was inappropriate.
Zey – Let’s bring out the crew shall we? *raises curtain by a rope*
*PHB gang sitting in chairs with chains around their wrists and ankles*
Minotaur – *clears throat and begins to walk around* For you NOOBS, this is a game called Hole Tiemz. I will ask you random questions. If I like your answer, I write safe on your forehead with a Sharpie, but if I don’t, you fall through a hole into a world of broccoli. Got it?
*they nod their head*
Minotaur – Hijuyo, where is the PWH widget on the blog?
Hijuyo – Well, I sort of ran out of room, so –
Minotaur – YOU HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM! YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO ADVERTISE THE PWH! HOW IS THIS SUPPOSED TO GET HITS?
Hijuyo – You have beautiful eyes! 😀
Minotaur – Ahw! :3 *writes Safe on Hijuyo’s forehead, walks over to Coderkid* Coder, why do you just read books and go on Twitter?
Coderkid – I met some really cool people on there, and it’s really fun.
Minotaur – YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY OVER DIGITALK! WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?
Coderkid – I like your hair! 😀
Minotaur – *blushes* Are you just saying that because it’s green?
Coderkid – No, it’s really epic. 😀
Minotaur – *writes Safe, walks over to Green Boa* Why haven’t you been going to DigiTalk lately?
Green Boa – I never really had time to –
Minotaur – WHATEVER! MT MISSES YOU! YOU BETTER GO BACK ON AND VM HIM LIKE CRAZY!
Green Boa – I’m fine with that. 😀
Minotaur – 😀 *writes Safe*
Wolfgang – *interrupts* Whoa, whoa, whoa! Is this all you do?
Minotaur – *looks over at Wolfie, scribbles all over GB’s face* What do you mean?
Wolfgang – You just yell at people and as soon they compliment you, you write Safe?
Minotaur – But she said *points at Hiyo* I have pretty eyes! D:
Wolfgang – *grabs Mino by the horn, smashes him against wall* Let me handle this.
Lady RCG – *gulps*
Wolfgang – I was gossiping with Ryku, Kyan, and Zey over there. You haven’t posted in a while, yet you still go to Where Thunder Roars? You haven’t posted since April!
Lady RCG – Funny story that I could explain! You see I –
Wolfgang – Hijuyo already had to politely pwn Hicoga over there for commenting instead of posting. On that Summer of ’11 or whatever post, she practically said: Why don’t you start commenting instead of posting? I don’t hire you to just look at the posts and move on with your day. I had to post for a while and then you comment? Give me a break. You need to start doing what you’re hired for before your lazy butt gets removed! D:<
Lady RCG – What does this have to do with me?
Wolfgang – Oh, so you’re backtalking me now?
Lady RCG – No, I’m just –
Wolfgang – *pulls lever*
Lady RCG – *falls through hole*
*everyone gasps*
Wolfgang – *looks down in hole* This isn’t a broccoli land?
*PWH boys come over to look*
Ryku – I see a clock tower and hear British accents..
Kyan – Oh shizzledips! You sent them to the United Kingdom!
Authors Note: lol how geographically correct
Wolfgang – *death stares Hicoga*
Hicoga – *gulps*
Wolfgang – Let’s have a polite conversation about icons.
Hicoga – I don’t copy them if that’s what you’re going to say!
Wolfgang – WELL, YOU’RE NOT GIVING CREDIT, I KNOW THAT! 😐 We all know you stole that icon from Cynaide and Happiness.
Hicoga – It’s free, so –
Wolfgang – If the creator ALLOWS you to take their original icons, then it’s okay. I bet you didn’t even ask permission. Like how you didn’t ask permission from CK and Codien. You just rolled with it.
Hicoga – What’s your problem, lady? Take a chill pill! D:
Wolfgang – EXCUSE ME? *smacks Hicoga hard*
Ryku – STOP IT, WOLFGANG! D:
Wolfgang – *turns to Ryku* I happen to take games very, VERY seriously.
Kyan – *crosses eyes, sticks tongue out* Derr, you think so?
Wolfgang – *rolls eyes, turns back to Hicoga, pulls lever on everybody*
Minotaur – Why’d you do everyone?
Wolfgang – I don’t care anymore. Also, I won’t have time for my musical preformance! 😀
Ryku – Musical preformance?
Wolfgang – Did I ever say that I was good at rapping?
Kyan – Why do you expect that we’d know everything about you in 3 episodes?
Wolfgang – *rolls eyes* 1, 2, 3, 4!
*catchy beat plays*
Wolfgang – Who do you think you are?
If you’re such a superstar,
then you don’t talk back to me.
Now you know why, see?
I don’t have time for the haters in this gang,
’cause in my eyes, everyone’s lame.
I roasted all of you. Haha!
I even got singing skills! Lala!
For kids, you are quite dramatic.
I hope this adventure has been quite traumatic.
Now you know why not to mess with me, man!
Say one more thing and I’ll send you to England!
Sent ’em to England, England, England.
Sent ’em to England, England, England.
Now you don’t know why to mess with me,
because I’m number one! I make cheedar and bling bling!
GO HIJUYO!
Hijuyo – Aye, let me introduce myself. This is Yolanda.
I got rappin’ skills too, Wolfie mama.
These fools actin’ like they know everything in the world.
Please, I have the highest IQ than all these boys and girls!
Mess with me? I’ll get back at you.
Now you know exactly what not to do.
If you’re lazy, I’ll pwn you politely.
Pwn you in public daily, nightly.
Haters gonna hate.
You better appreciate.
Got something to say? Tell it to my face.
I don’t know why I put you lazy kids on my blog in the first place. AH!
Wolfgang – Sent ’em to England, England, England.
Sent ’em to England, England, England.
Me and Hijuyo comin’ for you,
if you talk trash or just lazy. We’ll know what to do.
WORD!
Ryku – That was epic.
*audience claps*
Minotaur – That’s my girlfriend! 😀
Zey – *turns to Mino* What’d you just say?
Minotaur – Nothing! :3

This Sunday Special Episode of PWH was brought to you by MT, head creator and party animal at Party With Hobos, which you must read or you will have missed out on something special in your life. MT is also the one who made the epic new blue-white-yellow header with squares that you now see on this blog. :]

*Disclaimer: Not to offend anyone. MT only roasts people he likes! 😀

Store

Redeem the code!

Hi, it’s Elmopwns here. I’m here with a new post on how to redeem your code from any Poptropica toy! If you don’t know about the Poptropica toys yet, see Hicoga’s last post (complete with a nifty looking picture. nice job :D). Anyways, every toy comes with a special hand held item to use in your online game. So your getting a virtual item as well.

They can only be obtained by buying the actual toy and redeeming the code that came with it. The creators have done a new post detailing instructions on how to redeem your virtual gift!

How to redeem the code from your Poptropica toys

We’re hearing that Poptropica toysare starting to show up on the shelves of Toys “R” Us stores all over the place! Hopefully you’ve had a chance to check them out in person. But you may be wondering how to use the code that comes with each toy, which gives your Poptropican cool new powers and costumes.First, make sure you’re logged into your saved game. If you don’t yet have a saved game, create a new character, press the round “save” button, and create a username and password. Make sure to keep the username and password safe!

Next, you can enter your code in one of two places. When you log into Poptropica with an existing account, you can enter your code in the lower righthand part of the screen.

Or you can visit the Poptropica Store by pressing the star icon in the top right of your screen. The place to enter your code is located in the upper right.

The code works the same way in either place. Once you’ve redeemed it, go to your in-game inventory and select “store items” from the dropdown menu to use your new goodies.

Last, and most important: Enjoy!

So it’s pretty self-explanatory. You enter the code by clicking the star and typing in the promo code, and then you get a new gift or power! Thanks for the instructions, creators! The virtual items have a long range of things:
  • Sir Cador
  • Dr. Hare costume (Does that mean they fixed that cheat to become Dr. Hare?I better go check…hopefully not!)
  • Shark Boy costume
  • Stealth Agent
  • Spy Agent
  • Crystal Crusader
  • The Green Hawk (Note: you can get this via playing super power island, but the green wires that comes with the costume cannot be obtained)
  • Captain Colbat and Crimson (come with flying parrots…ftw!)
  • Booga Shaman (I’m pretty sure you can costumize him on Shark Tooth Island)
  • Shark Surfer
  • Dr. Hare hand held toy
  • Hare spell! It brainwashes anyone you control! Too bad it actually doesn’t brain was them…jk 😀
  • Cool kid hand held toy
  • Cool kid power, cameras flash for you since you’re “cool”
  • Shark Boy hand held toy
  • Jump the shark power, throw a fish and try to get it over the shark!

That was the list of all the powers, costumes, and hand held items you can redeem by buying a toy! Note: If you want costumes, the 6-inch plastic toys are for you! If you want powerss or hand held toys, the plushes come with those!

EP signing out!

Have a great summer! HAGS!

Daily Pop

Don’t panic, folks, trained monkeys are on it!

This is one of those posts you might think “What in the world is going on?”. Truth is, it’s only a minor glitch in the game of Poptropica :). A minor glitch has occured in the Daily Pop. Yes, the comics are no longer being updated *for now*. When was the last time someone saw a new Peanuts strip in the Daily Pop? Like three months ago! At first I thought the creators just forgot about the comics, turns out that a glitch is keeping new ones from coming in!

Some of you have noticed a glitch in the comics section of the Daily Pop. They’re not updating! Our team of trained monkeys is working overtime to fix the issue. We will let you know just as soon as it’s resolved.

DIRECTOR D.

Don’t panic, people! I’m sure everyone will live for the rest of the day without comics on the Daily Pop! A team of “trained monkeys…” are being put to work on the issue. Are you calling yourselves monkeys, creators? 0_0. Umm, how smart are these “monkeys”? Hopefully they’re smart enough to actually use the computer and not completely wipe out poptropica’s servers and files in the proccess…hopefully. The creators blog will be updated, and the Poptropica community informed when the issue is over. Seems as if Director D hasn’t been posting in awhile. His last post was when, 2 months ago?

CC: Does that mean I’m safe?! Finally! I won’t be forced by those monsters to do all these posts! I’m free!
Elmopwns: Nah, it just means you’ll live for about one more day…before we invite the entire phb community to a feast in the next time you post (idea taken from conversation in the previous comments!).
CC: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Why?! Why must you nom and torture me?! Why?!
Elmopwns: Because lobsters are delicious :D. Have you ever tried lobster Bisque?
CC: What in the world…
Lobster Bisque, yumm 😀 :

CC: Me in a soup? The horror 0_0…
Well, what’s your favorite way to nom Captain Crawfish?  Comment below!

In other short blogging news: My music theory exams are on Saturday (Pacific Time/LAX) time. They’re really hard music analysis questions with technical terms, over 100 words to memorize, different and complex notes and rhythms to answer questions about, and hardness overall :(. Wish me luck, everyone.

I will not be online for the next two days to post because of this and study. I’m also sharing just a bit of my parent’s companies. My dad’s www.bundled.com has officially launched into beta stage. The company helps people (18+) manage money and stuff. Read the webpage to learn more/manage money. Just a quick note, thanks for your help! It’s appreciated, guys. You’re the best community in the world. Ep signing out for two days, bye for now.

Summer ‘011

It’s that time again, folks! That’s right! I’m pretty sure a LOT of you know what I’m talking about…barbecues, free time, fun, fun, and more fun…No, I am not talking about nomming Captain Crawfish! But pretty close to it in terms of funness! 🙂

CC: Something about nomming me?! I thought I was safe here! *hides back into ship.*

Elmopwns: I’ll get you eventually, you crawfish! *prepares hot water*. So far your record for being alive is…two posts.

CC: *pops out of ship* It was longer than that! Way longer!

Elmopwns: I’ve got you now!

CC: Eek! *jumps out of ship and into water, begins to swim away*

Well, looks like our little “guest for supper” got away…for now ;). He either drowns in the ocean, gets caught by one of the authors, or he meets a race of cannibals that either make him their slave or noms him alive…ouch. In the meantime, there’s a new update on the creators blog! I mentioned the feature of this update (costume) some days ago, but of course, it wasn’t too official. Take a look at this new post, guys. This was taken straight from the PCB (Poptropica Creators’ Blog):

Bounce into summer!

Check out what’s new in the Poptropica Store!
The stylish Beach Ball costume is the perfect way to beat the heat this summer. Sure, it may not cut the most flattering silhouette, but when the temperature starts rising it’s all about function over form.
Speaking of this volleyball costume, summer is right around the corner! Some of you might be going back to relatives houses like me (back to China in three weeks where I plot world domination on a global scale…mehheheheheh), playing video games, hanging out with friends, watching TV, playing sports, going to camps, sleeping in until one, or waking up at one in the morning. So this new costume certainly will let you “bounce into summer”. Get the pun? Get it? Volleyball, bounce, Summer? Heheheh :).
The volleyball costume is pretty much a ball that goes around your body with colors in stripes of white, green, blue, and yellow. Head down to the Poptropica Store to recieve your own copy of this Summer costume. Well, just a heads up, players. This costume might seem fat based on the way you view it ;). But if you think this costume is for you, go straight down to the store and purchase it! Giant volleyball FTW!!!
CC: *washes up on foreign beach* Yes! I’m safe! I’M FINALLY SAFE!
Strange Hunter with spear: Would you like to join me for dinner?
CC: Sure! I’m starving! What do you have for dinner?
Hunter: *shows CC menu*
CC: Yummmm! What’s this say? Lobster surprise? What’s that supposed to be? What are you doing with that hot water? I don’t like the fact that that thing’s pretty close to me 0_0. What the…get that thing away from me!
I called it, got nommed by cannibals :)!
Ep out!
