Bonus Items, Mythology Island, Reality TV Island

Only for the most daring/bored of all.

It’s no April Fool’s joke. Poptropica Members will have Early Access to Mythology Island beginning this Thursday, April 1!
(information from the Poptropica Facebook page!)

And as stated on its information page, Mythology Island will be open to all on April 29, 2010. Almost a month away. x_x

Today, Dr. Hare showed us on the Creators’ Blog that your Island Medallion card for Reality TV Island actually keeps track of the amount of seasons you have dominated in on the island! Unless you beat Hippie Harry to fame and fortune, in which case I despise you.

Exhibit A: A common result of extreme boredness.

Dr. Hare continues to mock us in his post by challenging us to beat his high score of a whopping five seasons won. He then questions us how many times we have completed Reality TV Island, the latest island brought to you by the creators. He also probably should’ve asked us how many times we have been way too busy to even play Reality TV Island. 🙂

As the lazy boy I am, I am a 1-time winner. Tell us: how many times have you completed Reality TV Island? Haven’t even completed one season? What are you doing then? Head out to that island and compete! With guide in hand, you’re sure to overtake the bunny himself.

Reality TV Island, Web Development

Yaay. Whoohoo. RTV is here…

Well, guys, today is the big, big day. It’s…

DECEMBER 12 21, 2012

Whoops, sorry. Wrong date. It’s…

YA BIRTHDAY, WE GONNA PARTAY

LIKE ITS YA BIRTHDAY

…Um, that was awkward. *ahem* Moving on…It’s actually…

MARCH 24, 2010!!

On this magical and momentous day, us Poptropicans without membership, get to access the greatest and latest:

REALITY TV ISLAND!!!

But to be honest, I don’t feel all that cheery. Having to wait so long, and miss out is kinda sapping all the fun out of playing a new island. Which is another reason this whole Membership thing sucks. I mean, I understand the Creators need cha-chingy and all, but at least they could still have Early Access Passes…

Anyway, see you guys on RTV!…if I ever get around to playing it. (BOO HOMEWORK…oh and parents xD JK) Click the links below for a TV Island walkthrough guide written by Mega Boy, the island map, or our information page for RTV.

Here’s the Creators blog post about it. A new mini-game challenge (Hang Glider) was also added to the island in celebration for today. Apparently, they share none of my unhappiness on what would otherwise be an awesome day:

The wait is now over! Reality TV Island is now available to everyone! Join the other contestants in the various challenges to determine who will win all of the fame and glory! Now with an all new game! Grab your hang gliders and get ready for some soaring fun!


VLAD THE VIKING

OK, I see nothing in there about membership being destroyed. *reads again* Nope, I didn’t miss anything. Looks like it’s gonna take a personal visit before Mr. Leary gets it: I HATE MEMBERSHIP. In fact, Mr.Leary, I’ll give you a head start. Start stocking up on the bodyguards.

Cause I’m coming for you.
And  now, on a completely unrelated note: Sometimes, I scare myself.

Right…um….I’m just gonna walk off of the stage right he– AAHHHHHH!!! OOWWWW!!! CURSES WHO MOVED THE DOGGONE STAIRS!!! OH MY SPLEEN!!! OHH THE PAIN!!!

Thank you for watching: Awkward Moments With Coderkid

Mythology Island, Sneak Peeks, Store

Godly Poptropicans… and ZURG!

Our thoughts have been CONFIRMED!!! Mythology Island is IN THE WORKS!!!!

First of all……

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening…

Since Mythology Island is coming soon, we thought it would be fun to offer a cool new item in our store… ~Shark Boy

Aww, Sharkie Boy, we missed you. According to a review from one of the PHB’s readers, Ocean Clover♣, “Ooh, I bought the staff, and it’s AWESOME! When you’re in Costumizer and hold down the space bar, and hit cancel, instead of lightning, you get an earthquake! YAY!” Anyway, on the Poptropica homepage, it says “Mythology Island coming soon” with really cool lettering.

The description says:

Mighty Zeus, king of the gods, needs a hero — and he wants you! To satisfy Zeus, you’ll need to battle monsters, swim the depths of the ocean, and descend into the mysterious underworld. Will you emerge a hero like Hercules, or face the fiery wrath of Zeus and his thunderbolts?

Available very soon with membership. Dates announced shortly. Come back for more details!

I. Want. That. Lightning. Bolt. NOW!
I, for one, cannot wait for Mythology – and costumizing the gods!
Coderkid: Sup guys? The iCostume has been upgraded – 2.0’s here! Check it out. Also, The Multiverse Project is back.

New PCB Post – and it’s a whopper! (Coskit here. 🙂 )

Credit to Detective Sneakyc / Scaryw just ’cause I saw his comment about the new post first. Sorry to all you other people who alert us constantly to new updates.

UHGGG!!!!

Man! I need to get myself to a gym!

HADES

The one and only Hades at 4:06 PM

Whaaat….in the WORLD…..is that emote??!!!!! That is just sooo totally AWESOME! The name of this pic is “straininghades03”, which tells us nothing. Although, don’t you think that the head of Hades is rather large? Strange…. But that EMOTE!!! Pulling backwards……red face…..it’s just incredible!

Not-so-fun Fact: At 350 credits (if you’re a non-member), the “Multiverse” is currently the most expensively priced item on the Poptropica Store. 😦

Ok, Coskit is on her way to her home planet. Buh bye.

And for those of you who think I’m Zurg’s boss……I’m not. 

I’m his twin sister. xD

Bye, MY MINIONS THAT I WILL BRAINWASH YOU INTO BELIEVING THAT I AM YOUR SOLE RULER AND NOTHING WILL EVER BRING ME DOWN, NOT EVEN THE SACRED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, BARACK OBAMA, WHO IS AWESOME, BUT WILL NEVER OVERRULE ME! 😉

~resurrected smox?

Hello, NW aka WhisperXSecret here. Listen, if you’ve seen the thread ‘Neatwhale’s Name’ on the PHF, you should know what I’m talking about. If this turns out ONE thing like the Coskit’s Name thread, if someone says ONE rude thing on it, than POOF! NW’s gone. Resigned. Just like GE and GW. And Motion, you should know what I mean.

Two evil geniuses……one mini game. Can we do it? YES WE CAN!!!!

Two evil geniuses have entered Poptropica… what could be worse? Oh hi guys, just stopping in to say… NEW MINI QUEST! And new Einstein costume in the store, for 75 credits of course. If you get it, you can also read a chapter from the new book ‘Who Was Albert Einstein?’. (Isn’t he the guy that made E = MC2?) Here’s a picture:

Happy Birthday Einstein!

Albert Einstein was born March 14, 1879. To celebrate his birthday, there is an outfit that comes with a free chapter from a book about him called, “Who Was Albert Einstein?”
Now you can look just as smart as Einstein, as you think deep thoughts, and read about his life.To formulate a powerful equation, hit the space bar.
(You can purchase the full version of the book by Jess Brallier today! Click Here.)

Coskit: Einstein was born on March 14. 3/14. 3.14. The first digits of pi. Coskit’s (and Hijuyo’s) favorite number. I know…by now….314 digits of pi. Yes, 314 again. 😀

Neat Whale: Well, the Creators have finally opened up the new Dr. Hare mini quest that we have waited long for, even though that evil rude mind-controlling Dr. Hare is back anyway… but let’s get on with it… the quest costs 250 credits to play (CREATORS! WAY TOO HIGH!) the Haunted House quest was FREE! FREE I SAY! A FREE 50 CREDS!.. ..ok, ok, I’ll calm down now….. and here’s the guide that I wrote to help you all out:

1 – The quests begins! Jump up onto the rocks and ledges until you reach a metal-looking-ish thing with a Rabbot sign above it (that sign never stops scaring me) and a box of carrots on a rock near it (Not again!) Enter the building. Then you will appear in another metal looking room. Why all the metal, Dr. Hare. Just wondering. It makes your hideout standout. Get it?…Um ok yea moving on…

2 – Go right over a floating platform to the right, near an ad for membership (very nice, Dr. Hare. Ads. I love it.) Then you will come across a man with a pink eyepatch (not very manly sailor) pink lab coat (still not manly) and clipboard. Talk to him. He will tell you that you are in one of Dr. Hare’s secret lairs, he was a mind-slave of Dr. Hare, and that he made a very creepy looking robot to the right which will help him with evil plans. Again with the evil plans. Why not good plans? Why? Click on the robot cage to your right. You then say that you need three colored cards. Go back on the sliding-down thingy and go right once at the bottom. Click on the red Dr. Hare door.

3 – (This is beginning to seem a lot like the Race to Witch Mountain thing, huh?) Go right after the stupid annoying little laser like thing and get on the floating thing with a box. Then, let it pull you up until you’ve reached a platform with a red button at the end of it. Push the box onto the red thing. The blocked door above will open. Now, to get to the upper platform, go left and hide behind the carrot boxes from the guards (creepy looking right?) Then jump up, jump right, and get the red key card.

4 –  Now, go left above the bearded guard, and hop onto yet another floating platform with a box. When you come across another flooring, push the box onto it because it has the purple (purple is the best color in the world, just saying) button. Then go back on the floating platform and ride it up to the other platform with bearded guard on it, hide behind a box, and then jump up onto the now unlocked room with the purple card. (Purple is still awesome.)

5 – Now, go down down down. Below the entrance. Below the thing with more lasers. And ride another platform down where you have to hide behind another box from a weird person with an afro. A little farther over from you it the blue card slot. Now, ride the platform up again above the thing with lasers, and go to the edge. There should be a box at the end. Push the box off the end and it will smash on the ground near/on the blue switch. Push it onto it if it isn’t already on it. If you push it off the end like I did the first time, you’re dead and you need to start over. Now if it is on it, yaeeeey for you and run over on top of the other platforms with the lasers, onto the moving platform, into the room with the blue card, then you grab the blue card, scream with joy, ride the floating platform back up again, go out through the entrance… you get the main idea.

6 – Rush up to the top where the robot is, open it up with your cards, and–WHAT?! Only 50 credits?! RIP OFF CREATORS!! RIP OFF!!! And the costume only makes you a robot. Now where’s Dr. hare? I wanted to blast him off into space again because last time it was fun. Well? WHERE IS HE?! Wait he’s still in space? Awww mannn… 😦 Well that fun anyway zD

Hijuyo: Check out this sneak peek posted on the Poptropica Facebook page! It looks like it belongs on the upcoming Mythology Island. This sketch was filed under a photo album titled “The Making of Poptropica”, and the description says, “A palace fit for a king — or maybe somebody even more powerful than that.”

Post Update: Poptropica in the news?! (Credit to Deathstalker from the PHF.)

PHF member Deathstalker recently uncovered this article on Poptropica, written by the Herald Journal. (Click here to read it)

The article, besides including a lot of information that gives us insight into what goes into making Poptropica, gives us the low down on who are its Creators. Much of the information we already knew, thanks to the work of our top stalkers.

Speaking of stalkers, the article even drops a quote from Leary, directed at the stalkers:

“The site may be a big business with millions of fans, but “for us were just having fun,” Leary said, despite the legion of “12-year-old stalkers” who constantly write letters wanting to know when the next “island” will come out and what it will be like.” – from “A world on the web – Logan design team makes cartoon idea a (virtual) reality (Poptropica)”

Ahem, Mr Leary – I’m not 12. Don’t force me to call your house again.

Another great thing about this article is the photography, specifically the pictures – which can be seen below.

He's watching. Always. And so is Shark Boy.

Jordan Leary poses (who’s bad!) with Shark Boy.

When Jordan speaks, everyone listens. Except those two guys behind him. They just keep working. Or whatever they're doing.

The Creators at work? o_O

Anyway, this is a great article – once again, you can read it here. Be sure to let us now what you think in the comments! =D

Hey guys! Long time no post, eh? 😛 Anyway, check out this mysterious costume I found:

Buz Lightyear visits Poptropica
Buzz Lightyear? O_O

In the Avatar Studio: http://bit.ly/9B3Fnx

Can you say “Toy Story 3 Ad”? I know I can!

Me: Toy Story Three A-
Random Person: WE KNOW YOU CAN SAY IT! JUST GET ON WITH THE POST!
Me: You betta recognize! (o_O)

Anywho, this looks like a costume from an upcoming Toy Story 3 Ad, which, BTW, is THE BEST MOVIE EVA. 😀

THIS IS...STAR COMMAND!!!
Who's your daddy? Buzz is. =D

The best part about this costume happens to be the wings – they retract in and out so wickedly!!! Besides, who can get enough of Buzz Lightyear staring at you with a look that says “I own you. And yes –  I am the bomb. *muscle flex; manly grunts*”? The bad part is the fact that you can’t fly with them. 😦 Trust me – I tried at the Mountains in Time Tangled. Lets just say Buzz isn’t going to be going to infinity…or anywhere else, for a while.

To wrap up this post, I leave you foolish mortals (MUHAHAHAH *ahem*) with this trailer for the upcoming Toy Story 3 movie:
