Brave Tomato

Well, there hasn’t been much activity on the PCB this week. However, they leave us with two noticable clues.

Here’s the first post:

Up, up, and away!

 

Some of the inhabitants of Twisted Thicket can be pretty prickly!

We are flying again? Seems like.
 
… at least those dryads seem nice.
 
Secondly, the mysterious new tab could be introduced soon. And the Creators show it by having Bigfoot and Gretchen Grimlock try to stick their tongues to their noses.

Well. It looks like we’ll be answering random questions. Wonder what they will be. In the meantime, please enjoy this short skit based on the above PCB post:
 
Gretchen: I- I almost got it!
 
Brave Tomato: Gretchen, it’s a little late to try.
 
Gretchen: Sheesh! If this is what I have to do to be on a blog, then I will do it!
 
*Gretchen looks at Bigfoot. He shows off succeeding.*
 
Gretchen: *scoffs* Show-off. Unless… hmm… *takes out a switch*
 
Brave Tomato: Umm…. what are you doing?
 
Gretchen: What do you think? *presses the button*
 
*A cage falls. However, it surrounds Gretchen*
 
Gretchen: What?! *keeps pressing the button* No! No! No! Not me!
 
Brave Tomato: We had a feeling you were going to try something if we put you and Bigfoot in the same room. So we switched the positioning of the cage.
 
Gretchen: *groans*
 
…
 
Well, BT out! I just added that skit to make this dull post a little more intriging.
Store

Do you like waffles? Yeah we like waffles!

Well good cause in honour of ‘International waffles day’  the creators have released the new waffles costumes in the poptropica store.

Cue PCB post!

Waffles, tasty waffles!

 
Did you know that today is International Waffle Day? Did you further know that there’s a new costume in the store which celebrates it? You do now!

Boys can pick up the square waffle costume, while girls can get the stylish round waffle costume. Both look tasty to me, but it appears that the house pets of Poptropica disapprove.

Head to Poptropica and visit the Poptropica Store to get your waffle costume!

Woah. Another costume made from food. Let’s see that makes…
 
  1. Fries packet
  2. Ice cream
  3. The burger
  4. Soft drink/soda
  5. The chicken (even if it is raw and still alive 😉  )
  6. Hot dog
  7. Tofu dog
  8. Cherry Pie
  9. Lemon meringue pie (YUUMMM)
  10. Mud pie (Do not eat)
  11. The waffle.

With all these costumes made out of food, it must take considerable control from poptropicans to not eat each other.

 

Despite the lack of cream on my head, it's a surprise that a bite or two hasn't been taken out of this lemon mirangue pie.

What’s a lumberjerk?

Shaggy Tornado

Since it’s St. Patricks Day on March 17th, let’s get into the spirit of St. Patricks Day with this green colored font! So, what the heck is a lumberjerk you ask? Only the creators know as they released the info page for the new island, Twisted Thicket!! will it answer your questions? (Taken from the blog and info page)

  • What’s the storyline?

A quiet seaside village has been attacked by mysterious beings that dwell nearby. You are chosen to enter the dark woods and confront the creatures. But beyond the forest’s edge lies a world of magic and danger, where the only thing more twisted than the tree trunks is the truth.

  • What are some awesome bonuses for Members?

Poptropica Members can play a bonus quest after completing Twisted Thicket. The woodland’s magical essence has scattered across the land. It’s up to you to use your newfound powers to collect the missing shards and return them to their source. Not a Member? Find out how to get Membership now!

There’s also some bonus prizes for Members too!

  1. Dryad Follower
  2. Troll (Special power to turn people to stone!)
  3. What the heck is a “Lumberjerk“? Only available during Early Access!

A lumberjerk is a tree cutter?! Isn’t that a LUMBERJACK?! OR maybe they’re jerks for cutting down the trees? What do you think? Release date to follow! Also, wallpapers are available for download on the info page! 😀
