Why be a “Creator” when you could be a “Celebrity”?

Hicoga

Told you I’d be back.

Crowd (whispers): Wow, that’s a surprise.

Hey! I heard that!

…

Anyway, Legendary Swords is out in two days! I probably won’t have enough time to play it all of the way through but from the title and uber spectacular logo, it looks to be one of the best islands I’ve seen in a while.

Also, there’s a new creators blog post talking about the new “Celebrity Clips” you guys have been noticing lately. Here’s what good ol’ Captain C. had to say.

Celebrity Clips

 
Have you visited the Daily Pop lately? If not, you’re missing out on the latest and greatest Celebrity Clips!

We’ve asked our friends, including some of the best authors and illustrators around, to contribute original stories, essays, and artwork, which you’ll only see on Poptropica. And there’s a new one every week!

To see Celebrity Clips and all the other great stuff in the Daily Pop, visit Poptropica and click on the Daily Pop icon in the upper right hand part of your screen.

Plus, as if there wasn’t allready enough awesomeness, 2 new Grim and Jake videos also release this week! Here’s a PHB exclusive sneak peak of what you’ might be seeing.
And yes, that’s a homemade creeper mask.

Bonus Items, Membership, Store

There’s Free… and then there’s Free+.

Slanted Fish

You probably already know that the Poptropica Store includes some free stuff you can claim. But now there’s more, and it’s called Free+. Let the Creators’ Blog explain:

Free+

You might have noticed a new icon on some of the items in the Poptropica Store.

What is Free+? Free+ means that the item is free for everybody who wants it, and also has some extra-special features for Members. When you play “Shrink Shot” or “Prepare for Impact,” for example, you’ll get additional powers and prizes if you’re a Member.

So, kinda cool for the members, not so much for everyone else. 😛 But still, it’s nice to have free stuff, and when an item is labeled Free+, it just means that Poptropica Members will get extra features or prizes. Nice.

In other news, Legendary Swords releases on tomorrow’s legendary date – 11/11/11! That’s not gonna happen for another thousand years. It would be pretty epic to release on 11:11am/pm, too. Plus, if it’s your 11th birthday that day, kudos! I myself will be 15 on the 15th, so that’s awesome too. xD

New adventures

elmopwns

Hey, guys, poptropicans, fans, gamers, or however you’d like to call yourself. It’s EP posting, and thanks to anyone that supported me in my last post detailing my current condition and status. Well, I’m feeling much better, and am glad to be back and to say that I can indeed continuing posting for the PHB. Though I will be posting a bit less often due to complications, I will try to at least post once in some time or be active on thephc.

The PCB announced a new book being released just recently. Remember that Choose Your Own Adventure Store on Nabooti Island? It’s a place where they advertise new books and such just like the Magic Treehouse Store on Red Dragon Island. Well, a new book has come out, and it’s been added to the store.

The book is titled The Trail of Lost Time. They say there are many other new books added as well into the selection. To check them out, visit the store.

Well, looks like Captain Crawfish sure enjoys these new books.

Also, according to PCB, the Choose Your Own Adventure series is giving out 50,000 new books to people who really need it out there. You can help to donate by clicking here http://www.cyoa.com/blogs/give-a-child-adventure/4436512-give-a-child-adventure-our-giant-books-giveaway and to learn more.

Finally, the creators gave us a neat shiny poster advertising Legendary Swords Island, released on 11/11/11

Actually, it’s available in 3 now! Epic bannder/poster, huh?

A quick note: 11/11/11 is also Veterans Day. Please be sure to remember soldiers who died and who are still living that fought in past wars. In Europe they actually call it Armistice Day, and at 11/11 on 11:00 there the Big Ben actually rings 11 times to remember the day. 11/11 is actually the day they had a cease fire during World War 1 ending the wars. Just a quick reminder/history lesson.

EP out.

Hey guys, yep, it’s me.

ANYONE WHO SUBSCRIBES GETS THEIR NAME AND YOUTUBE CHANNEL IN THE CREDITS OF THE FIRST EPISODE AND ON THE PHB! 😀

 

Hey there PHB brethernen!

Now you’ve probably noticed that I’ve been horribly inactive on this site lately. This doesn’t mean I don’t love poptropica or you guys any less. Well, not that I love you guys… some of you are dudes.

*awkward silence*

Anyway… my absence has been due to two main reasons. One, high school. Going into high school really changed my life because I need to make sure I get good grades to ensure myself a good future. I’ve been spending more time studying and less time on the computer because I know it will pay off later.

That doesn’t mean however, that I haven’t had any free time at all. But most of that time has been spent on projects with my friends. None of them really like poptropica at all. On thing thats thrown a lot of my time out the window is Grim and Jake. Yah, you remember that thing me and my friend announced a while back that was hoplessly delayed again, and again, and again? Well it hasn’t been forgotten but it has undergone some major changes. Instead of being a webseries, it will now be a collection of comedic short films ranging anywhere from exploding computers to manic world olympics.

 If you want to check it out you can always find us at youtube.com/grimandjake . I’ve told him that I want more time for poptropica stuff but he insists we get this done first, so we made a deal. If we get 30 subscribers or more by next Friday, I promise you fingers double crossed stamp my heart or whatever you crazy kids do to swear these days that I will do whatever in my power to post some poptropica stuff. Atleast once a week.

Well, I guess that’s all I really needed to say, just wanted make you sure you knew I was “still alive”.

A week away!

Shaggy Tornado

Did you know?

Legendary Swords is just ONE week away! 😀 Yay! The Creators’ have posted up a Legendary Swords tutorial to help us play!

Basically, the video describes Swords, Moves, and Health Crystals.

Swords

To view swords, click on the sword on the top left hand corner. It shows the swords included in the actual game and the swords that you bought from the store, if any. You can switch between Rusty Relic, Ninja Sword, Templar Knight Sword, and lightsaber ( 😀 ), plus any other sword that you might have!

Moves

The moves depend on how you move: run, walk or jump. It will show you in the video. 🙂

Health Crystals

The health meter is the big sword at the top. It goes down when you get hurt. To replenish your health, try to find a cluster of pink crystals! Swing the sword to harvest them. They go to your health crystal inventory next to the health meter. Click the crystal icon to add to your health! 😀

Where Was Dr. Hare?

A couple days ago, a new Dr. Hare travel photo was posted. The Creators have revealed that this hop-happy bunny’s location was Bueno Aires, Argentina!

And there’s another photo of our favorite carrot-nommer in front of the famous Galileo Galilei Planetarium in Buenos Aires. Where do you think he’ll travel to next?

Cabin Fever Ad

A new ad about Jeff Kinney’s new Diary of a Wimpy Kid series Book 6: Cabin Fever has appeared in Pop! (Of course XD) Thanks LS! (Also for reminding to give you credit :P)

You have 60 seconds to hit ALL of the Whirley St. kids with snowballs to get two prizes. One is a paper costume (similar to the costume that was released for members!) and the other is ONE FREE CHAPTER of the new book! These prizes should be incentive enough for you to play this ad! 😀

Have a nice/ fun weekend!
