Burn Out Bright: Commemorating a Loved Costume

To commemorate the departure of the Rock Star costumes from the Poptropica Store for both male and female musicians, The Intertwined band will be guest-starring in this post to play “Burn Out Bright” from alternative rock band Switchfoot! Sing along!

Hijuyo: So you guys may have seen the warning from Black Widow on the PCB… time is running out before the Rock Star officially disappears from the Poptropica Store!

*band plays*

Alpha: If we’ve only got one try…
Mara: If we’ve only got one life…
CyberTron: If time was never on our side…
iDGpops: Then before I die..
Theflamebringer: I want to burn out bright!!

*band bows and shuffles offstage*

These epic costumes will be missed, so get ’em now while you can! Note that they now cost 100 credits, instead of the usual 75. If you want to see more of the Intertwined, check out the band’s blog and their Last.fm music page!

"Burn Out Bright" lyrics belong to Switchfoot.

Slap that Jack

Captain Crawfish 28-Because EL5 was too lazy to think of a nomming adventure, I will fall into his mouth chopped in half. *does so*

EL5-NOMONOMOMOMOMOMONOMONOMNOMON. Now for this awesome yet previously declared update. We’ve got some news about our slapjack tricks. Posted on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog was some advice for one of the games on Wild West Island – Slap Jack!

One of the games on Wild West Island is a version of the card game Slap Jack. It follows the standard rules: you and your opponents take turns dealing one card into the center pile. When somebody puts down a Jack, the first player to slap the pile wins the cards. You win when all of your opponents have run out of cards. Sounds pretty simple, right? Well, it is, except for one thing: the fake-out.

When you’re dealing a Jack from your pile, you can bluff. Slide the card only partway to the center of the table, then pull it back, and there’s a chance one of your opponents might slap the pile anyway. If they do, you get a card from their draw pile. But be careful! Your opponents will try to fake you out, too. The same rule applies: if you slap the pile before the Jack is placed, you’ll lose a card to the player who tricked you.

Good luck out there. As with everything you’ll do on Wild West Island, the stakes are high.

THE CREATORS HAVE SPELT IT OUT FOR US IN BIG BOLD LETTERS!!!!

*Writing in diary*

Big, bold CAPITAL letters too. Don’t ask me why, but for some reason, Vlad The viking has revealed something startling…. His Uncle Fred is a giraffe!

Wait, WHAT?

*Scratches over that*

Something utterly surprising, though some of the PHB members figured it out a while ago. That… the truth is… that.. our fears are confirmed…

Random bystander: Will you just get on with it?!

Hey stop reading my diary!

Group of Random Bystanders: GET ON WITH IT!

No! I don’t want people reading my diary, espicially if it means you know what happened last tuesday when I thought that crayon was a cheesestick…

Random Bystander #17: We don’t know about that, but you’re kind of showing this entry up on the PHB…

Oh, O….K…… [to self] How am I doing that?

Huge group of Random Bystanders! Just get on with it!

OK! OK!

Well you’ll never believe this, but there are people outside who are somehow reading my diary, and they sound pretty mad too. So I better get to the good stuff.

Well

Well, that’s pretty much the “Let them eat cake” isn’t it? (For those who don’t know, “Let them eat cake” were the words that started the French revolution) If that doesn’t start a non-member revolution then I don’t know what will. -___-
Changing the subject, here are a few sneaky peakies from the Daily Pop.
Home Sweet Home: Just a quiet house in the suburbs. Or is it? Yes, it is.
 
No! It’s home to the chicken, who, quite famously, crossed the road. :O
Track Changes: You might want to watch out for anyone from the wrong side of the tracks. But which side is that?
 
Oh, dur. It’s the right side that’s the wrong side! Uh, wait no, it’s left that’s right and right that’s left! Um, no, I got it, the right is half wrong and the left is half right, but how much more half wrong or right than the other side? It’s tough to say. Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Old School: This is Poptropica — you know there’s more here than meets the eye.
 
Yep, there are cheerleaders hiding inside the lockers, ready to leap out and cheer the new cheer. Or the lockers are revolving doors that lead the cheerleaders into the tryouts. Or………….. *suspense*…………….. it’s a school! *SCREAM!!!*
Dryer Eyes: Even more fantastical adventures await. Behold, the Laundromat!
 
Yeah, fantastical! Socks, breeches and britches!
We did not know you were real,
But the creators reveal these pictures!
Round and round and round you go,
making the wet clothes dry!
It sounds so exciting,
so in our blimp we’ll fly!
To laundry island! The island of clothes!
And washing machines, I’ll bet!
Everyone’s cleaning, and washing their clothes!
Be careful not to get wet!
But now the soap is running out,
and the clothes are clogged with mud!
Everyone pays for brand soap,
But the mixture is actually a dud!
So you catch this fraud, this crooked thief,
The one who everyone blames!
The wicked soap maker, who is called,
Ironically, Dirty James!
Ta daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Later, peeps. Green Boa
