Ice Age Continental Drift

If you go onto the Map in Poptropica, you might notice something new.  Well, two new things, actually.  The first new thing is this:

The Creators have added Wimpy Boardwalk to the Map!  It’s obviously not out yet, but maybe that’s a sign that it’s going to come out soon!  …Maybe?

Anyway, the second new thing that you might notice is a certain iceberg floating around on the bottom of the map.

It’s an ad for the new Ice Age movie!

Click on the little iceberg to enter the ad.

When you enter the ad you’ll see this to the left:

If you click on it, an icon will appear next to your items.

If you click on the icon, you’ll be brought to a page where you’re able to see previews, a list of the characters, the story line, things like that.

There’s a sign that’s shaped like an arrow next to the notifier thing.

Go to the left and a monkey named Captain Gutt will tell you this:

This page will pop up:

The page says “Select A Game”, when it should say “Select The Game”, cause the game called Granny’s Bath isn’t available for you to play until July 2nd.  Which is fine by me; Granny’s Bath doesn’t sound like a very…appealing game anyway.

The game that you can play is called Escape from Captain Gutt.  This game is really easy.  What you do is you sail your iceberg, following the arrow of a compass.  The arrow points to your home.  The iceberg’s controls are exactly the same as the ones for your boats in Skullduggery Island, which makes it that much easier.  Basically just point your cursor in the direction that you want to go and click to fire what they say are cannonballs, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they’re actually snowballs.  Just try to avoid hitting other icebergs, running into sea crabs, and getting fired at by pirate ships.  Oh, and, obviously, Manny doesn’t understand that someone shouting things at you while you’re trying to sail is very distracting.  So, just try to ignore him.

Once you beat the game, you get two items.

The first item is a Badger Pirate Flag.

The second item is a Dodo Follower.

When you’re done with the game, go to the right and you’ll see a trailer that you can watch if you want to.

Keep going right, and you’ll see another sign shaped like an arrow.

Follow the sign, and go to the right.

Go to the right and up a little bit and you will find yourself in front of the ScrArcade.

If you go inside you’ll get to see some trailers.  There’s also a spot where you can download some wallpapers.

If you go to the right you’ll see another arrow sign.  They must really like arrows…

This thing is so important that it needed two signs, the second one (which is a little bit to the right of the first one) is even decked out with a disco ball.

Sid is standing to the right of this purty sign.  Talk to him.  Your conversation will go as follows:

(Bit melodramatic, don’t you think?)

The dancing game is really easy, as well.  It’s one of those memorization games that you see all the time.  A letter will get a glow around it, and you have to press that same letter on your keyboard.  Then it’ll be two letters, then three letters, and so on.

Once you beat the game you’ll get two more prizes.

The first prize is the Granny Costume.

The second item is the Acorn Costume.

Edit: Thanks to Tough Spider for letting me know that the boys’ prize for the Dance with Sid game is a Sid Costume instead of the Granny Costume.  Here’s a picture of it:

Well, that’s about it.

Since I can’t think of any other way to end this boring post, and since I’m sort of obsessed with these Brave motion graph things that I found on Brave’s website…

If you haven’t seen Brave yet, you should see it for two reasons.

One: cause it’s so hilarious you’ll laugh so hard that you’ll start crying.

Two: cause I told you so. 😉

Poptropolis Games Island, Snapshot Series

There Can Be Only One Winner…

Ha! Bet you thought I was talking about Poptropolis Games, huh?

😀

Well, I’m not. You see, humans tend to have self-centered thoughts at times. This is no exception for Shark Boy. For example, if someone were to declare him “Best Shark”…

Well, I bet he’s thrilled. He made a whole post about it, just to get the point across. According to Shark Boy, “I’d like to thank the little people.”

Did anyone happen to notice that Shark Boy is, ah, smiling? Yes, smiling! Well, anyone would be smiling if they won a contest. Do you think Shark Boy is the best shark, or do you think there’s a better shark in town, uh, Poptropica?

And, if you are having trouble with Poptropolis Games, and you fear that the one winner can’t be you, remember to check out our Island Help. There, you can find the Poptropolis Games Guide (or click HERE) written by PHB author Icy Comet and you can be the one and only champion! Just keep in mind that there’s no tribe like Pathfinders. 😉

Poptropolis Games Island, Tribes

The supremacy is etched into…

Brave Tomato: The tribes have been going at it in the Poptropolis Games for weeks, now. *dramatic music* Many Poptropicans were able to gain the medallions, but some by luck, won just by one place higher than another tribe. But apparently, a certain red robot tribe gained that supremecy overall…

Audience Member: Oh cut it out with all the dramatic stuff, BT!

Brave Tomato: What? Come on!

Audience Member: *chants* Humor! Humor! Humor!

Brave Tomato: Alright, alright, sheesh! I’ll just show the Creator’s post!

Which tribe reigns supreme?

 Now that Poptropolis Games has been available for a few weeks, millions of Poptropicans have chosen their tribes and competed for glory. But do you want to know which tribe’s representatives have the best overall scores?
Go on, take a guess. We’ll wait for you.
Okay. The top-performing tribe in Poptropica is….
…………………

The Nanobots! Congratulations to everyone who’s flying the flag of the red robots!
If you’re not a Nanobot, don’t worry. You can always help your tribe reach the mountaintop by playing, and winning, Poptropolis Games! Visit Poptropica now to play!

Brave Tomato: Where’s the drumroll during all this? The Creators were dramatic there, cause of all those “…”s to reveal the Nanobots as the highest scoring tribe! But wait! Did nanobots rig the system…

Audience Member: Don’t discriminate! I’m a Nanobot tribe member and we won fair and square!

Brave Tomato: Alright, if you say so. 😐 I’m a Black Flags member, and I just hope that I’m not the lowest on that list.

Audience: So do we!

Brave Tomato: Glad to see we’re on the same page with this!

*the audience member who said that BT discriminated throws a tomato with the Nanobot logo on it*

Brave Tomato: Okay, maybe not all of us, but just hope, okay? Alright.

BT out!

Merchandise, Nintendo DS Game

Poptropica for the Nintendo DS

For those who have an NDS, you’ll be thrilled to know that Poptropica and Ubisoft are currently partnering to create a Poptropican experience for the Nintendo DS, and the release date is this year’s 2012 holiday season!

Credit goes to a PHB comment from toughraptor which brought us to a news article from PRWeb.

“Through our exciting new partnership with Ubisoft, kids will now have another way to explore Poptropica’s story-based adventures and solve its challenging quests,” said Jess M. Brallier, publisher of Poptropica. “This is yet another milestone in the explosive growth of Poptropica as a global brand.”

Ubisoft is equally excited to bring Poptropica’s awesome storytelling from where it began its success online to handheld devices.

Sounds like a winner! Will you be getting the DS game this Christmas?

Wimpy Boardwalk Island

Thunder wonders

Do you have what it takes to make it to the “Thunder Volt” high scores list with Greg Heffley, Is An Idiot (uhhh…), Sonic, Chris, Billy, and the rest?

We don’t even know what Thunder Volt is yet, but we’re asking anyway. Maybe it’s an arcade game on Wimpy Boardwalk. Maybe it’s the name of one of Super Thunder’s evil plans (just kidding). What do you think?
