The Creators recently mentioned on their blog that the painting “The Scream,” which plays a big role on Counterfeit Island, sold for a record $120 million dollars! Gotta scream with joy at that.
There should be a lame joke about munching somewhere, but the Norwegian name is really pronounced “moonk.” Hehe. 😛
On the subject of interesting art, did you know that this painting shown below, by Russian artist Malevich, sold for a million dollars?

UPDATE!!!!! (5/2/12)
Twisted Thicket has released for everyone!
Go get those photos/medallions for your profile! And if you get stuck, you have our Twisted Thicket resources at your disposal 🙂
~~~
Throughout this week, the Creators were posting about the features in Poptropica Friends and how they work! 😀 Here, I’ll be posting them one by one, forming somewhat of a guide to it, I guess 😛 So let’s get started with…
MEDALLIONS
One of the great things about Poptropica Friends is that you’ll be able to see what medallions your friends have earned, and they’ll be able to see the same for you. You’ll even be able to show off how many times you’ve beaten each Island, by using Island Restart.
See how this person has all the medals for all 26 islands? Well, ALL your friends will see how many medallions you have earned, and how many times you’ve beaten an Island with Poptropica Friends! So start adding to your medal count! This feature is coming soon!
RECENT ACTIVITY FEED
Presenting the Recent Activity feed! You’ll see this little box whenever you return to Poptropica, and it will show you the most up-to-date things your friends have been doing in Poptropica. You’ll see when your friend has earned a photo, beaten an Island, saved a new costume, or answered a Pop Quiz. You can click through to see their full profile, or just flip through the feed to see what everyone is up to.
See also how that box has the Pop Quiz right next to it? You can also answer the Pop Quiz from the homepage!
PHOTO ALBUM
One of the new features that will be coming with Poptropica Friends is the photo album. It’s like your own virtual scrapbook of your adventures through Poptropica!
By playing through Islands, you’ll occasionally see a message that says “New Photo Added” when you get to an important part of the story. Then, when you visit your photo album, you’ll see snapshots showing you a new perspective of your character’s feats. Every Island has about four different photos. There are over 100 in total!
Even better: every time you earn a new photo, the outfit you were wearing at the time is recorded in the picture. Even if you change clothes, you can costumize from your photos later!
Wait, there’s more! If you’re looking through a friend’s photo album, you can costumize off of them, too. It’s like the number of possible costumes just went to infinity!
The only thing that I don’t like about this, is that you have to replay Islands to get the photos you need for your album. So even if you completed all the Islands on your account(s), you will have to replay the Islands to get the photos. They will not be pre-added to the photo album. So according to the picture, you can choose which island’s photos to display, and whether to costumize them or not! So cool!
COSTUME CLOSETS
Another new feature with Poptropica Friends is the Costume Closet, which allows Members to store up to 30 unique costumes at a time. Not only that, but you can look through your friends’ closets and borrow their best costume ideas, as well.
There you have it! The days of putting together a spectacular costume and then having to get rid of it are almost over.
If you notice, they say “which allows Members”. Does that mean the closet is only available for Members, or will Non-members be able to use it too, but store less costumes? Hmm… But Poptropica friends looks interesting so far!! 😀

Some ads and glitch videos that Loud Shark would like me to show you…

So there you have it!! Your sneak peek into Poptropica Friends and your videos on glitches and the ad! Have a great end of April/beginning of May! 🙂
There’s been a lot of hype lately about the next island, the Poptropolis Games! Who’s excited? I know I am! Before we jump into the Games, though, the Creators have announced that Twisted Thicket Island will be available to everyone on Wednesday, May 2nd.
And for those too lazy to check the Daily Pop, PHB commenter legodirectorfilms shared with us a compilation of pics for the upcoming Olympic-themed island:
The PHB’s Discussion Page for the Poptropolis Games is also up! Check it out here.
In other news, for the first time ever, the Creators are showing us fan art they received from a Poptropican called Super Sky!
Looking good there! Which reminds me, the PHB has a guide on How To Draw a Poptropican if you’re interested in trying it out. 🙂
With the arrival of the upcoming Olympics-inspired island Poptropolis Games, the Creators spread more details about the anticipated island.
The city of Poptropolis rises from the sea once every 100 years to host a tournament devoted to proving tribal supremacy. In Poptropolis Games, you’ll choose a tribe to represent, and compete in several track and field events in pursuit of the championship. It won’t be easy!
I’m not sure about you, but I sure am excited about it!
BTW, It’s my birthday. 😀

Hey guys, BT here! The new island has been announced! Remember those Greek ruin-esque Daily Pops you saw? Well, these Creators give us something to really leave us anticipating: a trailer that doesn’t yet have island footage, but it does give us some facts about what it’s about through stuff… and even a short thing of a Poptropican throwing a javelin!
The PHB’s “Poptropolis Games” Discussion Page can be found here!
We’re pleased to announce the next Poptropica Island: Poptropolis Games!
We’ll have much more information about Poptropolis Games soon!
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH
Poptropolis Games seems like a combonation of an Olympics event in the Atlantis-like ruins of Poptropolis. There must be a certain time every year, when Poptropolis rises from the water and the people hold an Olympic-like event. And probably each player is divided into “tribes”.
Well, we’ll just have to keep an eye out for the…. JAVELIN!
*BT ducks when the javelin passes over her head*
Random Player: Sorry! Just preparing for the Poptropolis Games!
Well, as I was saying before I was rudely interupted, we’ll have to keep an eye out for more information to come out. Alright, I’m kinda excited now. BT out! *looks at the hole caused by the javelin* Is anybody going to fix that?
