Old news is an oxymoron

June 22, 2011August 5, 2012 Slanted Fish

One of the greatest things about the summer season: no school! So what are you going to do with all that spare time? Well, if you’ve found that lately your life has mostly been about sleep, food, and the computer, why not check out the new website for the Poptropica Help Chat (PHC)?

chat.poptropicahelp.net

There are links in the side navigation, so there’s no excuse for not knowing the Rules, understanding the Ranks if you’re new, and reading up on the Wall is just a click away! (*Edit: For some unknown reason the links have stopped working; will try to get it fixed ASAP)

Don’t feel too overwhelmed, the Poptropica community is a great place to be. If you’ve finished reading the day’s blog post on the PHB and want to stay longer, you might find some other Poptropicans online on the PHC! As long as you respect the people and the rules, you’re always welcome. You don’t even have to talk about Poptropica there.

The live chatroom does have moderators, so it’s a safe environment as well. So, whether it’s your first time at the PHC or whether you’re a regular, come check out the all-new chat.poptropicahelp.net and keep using it!

Partyin’Partyin’YEAH!

On Wednesday, June 22, 2011, the PHC will be throwing a huge party to celebrate the Flamin’ Skulls’ 1-and-a-half-year existence. There will be Multiverse parties, rocking out with music, and more chatting! Hijuyo, Popular Thunder, and plenty of people will be there, and we hope to see you too! Depending on your time zone, this is when the party will be happening (if your time zone is not listed, check with a converter to see what time it means for you):

10-10:30 pm CST USA
11- 11:30 pm EST USA
8-8:30 PST pm USA
11 to 11:30 am Hong Kong time (June 23)

CC: Uh, is the ad done yet? I have a post I wanted to get to.
Hijuyo: Seriously, did you have to interrupt? Well, why don’t you join the PHC too? 🙂
CC: I… okay, I’ll say it. I’m afraid I’ll get nommed there.
Hijuyo: HAHA! Sorry. Nah, don’t worry. That’s more of a PHB thing. The PHC doesn’t bite.
CC: Really? You think so? *wipes tear*
Hijuyo: Eh, as long as you behave, you’re good. 😛
CC: Ooh! Yay! Sounds good. So anyway, here’s the post. *dramatic hand gesture pointing downwards*

The 20 rarest items in Poptropica, part 2

To celebrate the launch of our 20th Island, Shrink Ray Island, we’re counting down the 20 rarest items in Poptropica history.

16. Astro-Knights Medallion

Astro-Knights is one of the toughest Islands we’ve made, so it’s no surprise that not many Poptropicans have this medallion in their inventory. But it’s not out of reach! All you need is a little perseverance.

15. Goofy Glasses

Another treasure hunt item, the goofy glasses were briefly available in the sewers of Super Power Island. But if you missed out then, you can still get them in the eyeglasses shop on Spy Island!

14. Wild West Hero

All Poptropica Members who played the cattle-rustlin’ preview game for Wild West Island were granted this exclusive Wild West Hero outfit. But this wasn’t even the most rare item from that game!

13. Sunglasses

The sunglasses were briefly available on top of Pendulum’s lab on Time Tangled Island. The dark glasses will return, however! Players who get the Spy Island 3″ action figures will receive a code that will allow them to wear a Spy Agent costume that includes these killer shades.To be continued tomorrow!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Hijuyo: Haha, I remember those hidden items from oh-so-long-ago.
CC: Good, can you explain it to me? Because I don’t remember them at all.
Hijuyo: You weren’t even around then, smart one. They were released for a short while during August 2008. Yeah, pretty old.
CC: Can I admit something to you?
Hijuyo: Yeah, sure, Cap’n.
CC: I think I like the goofy glasses more. *giggles*
Hijuyo: Can’t imagine that. *slips a pair of sunglasses over CC’s eyes* Don’t you think these shades are cooler?
CC: Hey yeahhhh… I look good!

*fangirls spot him, scream, and huge mob chases after CC*

Chase

CC: …Time to go.

Shrink the shot!

Do you have what it takes to beat Shark Boy’s high score on the Shrink Shot minigame? Be sure to check it out on Shrink Ray Island if you haven’t already.

According to the ending of that video from the PoptropicaCreators, as well as Poptropica’s official Shrink Ray Island info page, Shrink Ray Island starts on June 30th! It didn’t say whether that applied to members only or to everyone, although we can assume they meant the members first (but you never know, right?).

Bonus Items

The 20 rarest things

June 21, 2011June 21, 2011 elmopwns

It’s Elmopwns here. How’s everyone doing during the Summer? I know I’m enjoying it :D. Anyways, enough about my personal small sentence of blogging, people. I’ll tak a break for posting to let some other author post, but here’s the new post, people!

The 20 rarest items in Poptropica

Good news, everyone: Shrink Ray Island launches on June 30!It’s hard to believe, but Shrink Ray Island will be the 20th Poptropica Island. That’s a lot of adventures — lots of characters to meet, foes to battle, and items to collect.In the time since we introduced Early Poptropica, some items have been harder to find than others. To celebrate our 20th Island, we’ll be counting down the 20 rarest items in Poptropica. How many of these rare items do you have in your inventory?

20. Brain Hat

The cell phone on Nabooti Island holds many secrets. If you dial 411 and then make a call, you’ll find yourself with all the information you could ever need!

19. Viking Suit

The Viking Suit is tucked away in the upper righthand corner of the Viking time period on Time Tangled Island. It’s not necessary to complete the quest, so some Poptropicans missed it. To get the Viking Suit, equip the glider from Leonardo’s workshop, and then glide from the Viking mountain until you land on the ledge with the suit.

18. Multiverse

It’s the priciest item in the Poptropica Store, but the most versatile. With the Multiverse, you can create your own room and invite your real-life friends to chat and battle.

17. Nabooti Mask

To celebrate the launch of Nabooti Island, we hid this mask somewhere on Spy Island for a short period of time. This isn’t the only treasure hunt item that will show up on this countdown!

Tomorrow, we’ll count down the next four items!

Couple of big things are announced here. The first and most exciting one is that Shrink Ray Island kicks off on June 30th! :D. Members will be able to play the sheer awesomeness of this new science island! You get to turn small, make your way across a giant world, and stop evil masterminds from taking the shrink ray…sounds fun :D. I can’t wait to play the epicness of this new island!

In the meantime, it is also noted that it is de 20TH ISLAND!!! To celebrate that, the top 20 rare list has begun. Get ready to view four rare items every day, all starting from top 20 to the number one! Many of these items might even be leaks from islands like Monster Carnival, a never released island that came off the map. I wonder if they’ll post any leaked items like the bat wings or unicorn horns and such.

The 20th, 19th, 18th, and 17th items on the top rare list! Number 20 is the Brain helmet. Veteran players will remember the phone on Nabooti island. Type 411 to get the brain helmet. There are also other phone codes, which can be found on the cheat codes page.

Number 19 is the Viking Suit. Arm yourself with axe, chainmail, and helm to look just like a medieval viking! This can be obtained after several attempts of getting the suit on Time Tangled island. You just have to get a good positioning and glide over to where it’s located. Again, not neccessary to complete the island, but it is a cool edition to your costume collection :).

Number 18 is the multiverse. Sure, it might cost the most, at 350 credits. But you can create your own rooms for friends and such to party in. It’s like a private multiplayer room, also why it costs so much.

Number 17. was the nabooti tribe mask! This ancient helmet can be obtained actually in TWO ways. You could’ve gotten it during that short period of time on Spy Island. You could also costumize the group of nabooti hunter ghosts that appear on Nabooti Island before you talk to them!

Thanks for reading this. Again, if the kick off of Shrink Ray island is Jun 30th. We’re getting a top 20 list of rare items to obtain, possibly complete with leaked items. To add to that, we got free time…for three months. It’s summer and all. If none of that can get you hyped up, there’s just nothing to please you…jk.

Please check out www.calvinandhobbesstrips.wordpress.com only if you like reading Calvin and Hobbes. Don’t go there unless you don’t read the comics series made by me, or you won’t get any of the themes implied in the original strips, which is now stopped. Thanks for your support!

Also check out www.bundled.com for how to manage money by my entrepreneur parents, it helps much! And also www.thepoptropicaproject.wordpress.com for my own blog. Sorry for all these shout outs. I just needed to spread a little word. Cya, everyone!

Elmo Pwns out!

PHB Specials

PHB Sunday Special: Hole Tiemz!

June 19, 2011August 5, 2012 Slanted Fish

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.

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
