A moving helicopter bot!

The mystery of the thing that Binary Bard found on Steamworks Island continues. We found out one thing: it moves!! :O

A Steamworks Island mystery: It moves!

Imagine my surprise when I came across a strange-looking machine on Steamworks Island. The place is full of old gears and pulleys and things, but most of it is rusted out and hasn’t been used for years. This one looked a little different — different enough to pique my curiosity.

I don’t know what you do when you’re in an unfamiliar place and you come across some strange being that’s curled up in a defensive position, but I know what I do: I poke it. So that’s what I did.

Whoa! It moved. And there were a lot more suprises in store.

BINARY BARD

It looks like it is called a “sprocket” based on the picture title. Wonder what it does, and if it helps us. Guess we’ll find out soon enough. This is Shaggy Tornado signing off! *salutes smartly*

New PCB post!

As though the plants seem to be coming from the greenhouse? We may even find Mr.Snuggles (or Tenner :P) and Bola inside too. Besides the more plant side of the post, the creators also have helmet in store.

A helmet? A time capsule? A future cheese storager?

Until next time!

Update:The robot is opened!

Express your… expressions… on Poptropica!

For those that can’t hide their feelings

Today we added a new Gold Card item to the store. It’s called Smiley Potion. Use it like the Love Potion. You can choose one of three smiley faces to attach to another Poptropican or even yourself.I decided to put on a disguise and try it out on Spy Island. Yeah, I know. I’m pretty smooth.

MIME

Bubble #1 = D:<

Buble #2 = 8P

Bubble #3 = 🙂

I dunno if I would define you as “smooth” MM (or just ‘M’? notice it only says “MIME” after his post, not “MASTER MIME” :O Has Mr Mime lost his magnificent masterness? 😥 )

Poptropica Tips and Tricks: Emote control

You probably already know that when you’re in a multiplayer room on Poptropica, you can click the emote buttons on the side of the screen to make your character smile, cry, pout, and jump for joy. Did you know you can also do these elsewhere in the game?

A simple keyboard combination will allow you to use any of the emotes during your adventures, which lets your character react to the story as it happens.

Press Ctrl+Shift+1 to laugh at pompous jerks.

Press Ctrl+Shift+2 to cry when you receive bad news.

Press Ctrl+Shift+3 to blow your stack at a faun who’s giving you guff.

And press Ctrl+Shift+4 to celebrate getting a new item.

That’s not all! You can combine some of these emotes to create brand-new ones that you won’t see in any common room. First, start the angry emote by pressing Ctrl+Shift+3. Once your character’s face is red, but before his head pops off, enter either the happy or the sad emote!

Everyone will think you’ve spent too much time in the sun. Sunscreen, people!

What? Things are not always what they seem to be? THAT’S AWFUL! D: And thankyou Captain NOMMED, but I use sunscreen Okey Dokey?

You saw it here first on Poptropica!

It’s Thursday, July 29, 2010. Yes, the time has come for Greg Heffley to present us the cover for the FIFTH installment in the popular kids’ pentalogy. Of course, you can find Greg on any of the Poptropican islands. A wise man once said, “I should really shut up,” and I’m going to do just that. 🙂

Whaaaaat. Best book cover art evar? It’s not the beautiful truth, it’s not the MYSTERIOUS truth, it’s the… UGLY truth. And Greg has an egg in his hand. That’s pretty awesome. Although the book cover art has been revealed, we may have to wait some time before the actual book is released. The ugly truth is that the book comes out on November 9th, 2010 (see what I did there? :D), but fear not, fellow Poptropicans, I’m sure it will be most definitely worth the wait!

In more Poptropica-related news, the creators have presented us two more installments of Poptropica Tips and Tricks on the Creators’ Blog. Of course, these two tips/tricks (Randomizer and Dial-A-Costume) have always been available for viewing on our Cool Stuff tab under Cheat Codes. There you can also find many more Poptropica Tips and Tricks. Enjoy!

One is a ad-libs diary…
