POST UPDATE: The Multiverse Project is back online!

Check it out, and don’t forget to tell me what you think! =D

WAS UP HOMIEZ?!! i iz har today *screen fizzles and rotates*

Woah…what just happened? OH NO! IT WAS MY ARCH NEMESIS, ANTI-MOTION! He must have escaped from his alternate dimension and tried to hijack my post! Well, he’s gone now, so on to THE POST! CUE DRAMA MUSIC! *silence* I SAID, CUE DRAMA MUSIC! *silence* Don’t make me come down – *music plays loudly* That’s what I thought. As I was saying, on to THE PO – *music plays* HEY! I didn’t say to cue – *more music plays* NOT funny guys.

Please excuse my special effects team, they must think it’s April Fools Day. One sec while I go knock some sense into them.

*goes off stage, screaming and load noises are heard, comes back*

Now that that’s been sorted out, we can finally move on! On to THE POST!

There’s two new Ads in Pop! (Credit to Happy Storm and Xarr of the PHF!)

  • The Electric Company Ad, about a new TV show coming to PBS Kids. (NO, I DON’T WATCH PBS!!)
  • The Monster INC. Ad, about the old movie coming to DVD and BlueRay (HI-DEF).

In The Electric Company Ad, there’s no mission or “problem” to solve, but simply a synopsis of the show, a trailer, and two actors from the show. The only thing to get out of this Ad is the costumes from the actors.

The other Ad, about the new version of Monster INC. DVD, actually does have a goal. You have to find the kid (or shall I say PopKid?) that’s escaped into the Monster Realm. Using the key cards you find (which allow you to access different rooms in the ad) you have to search for the girl. The reward is…”lack luster”. What you receive is a card that takes you to a “theater room” where you can watch the trailer for Monster INC.

Here’s some screenshots for both ads:

I was asked to promote these 2 awesome blogs, by Adammos (Popular Thunder) and IkeWB!

Be sure to check their awesome blogs out!

Lastly, I’d like to say that The Multiverse Project will be back up soon, it’s getting a few…renovations.

Peacing out,
this has been a message from mo-*fizzle, static* ANTI-MOTION! MUHAHAHAHAHA!

Poptropican’s 911: Issue #6

Slanted Fish

Update: The Haunted House has been removed from Poptropica’s Map, but you can buy it from the Poptropica Store for FREE! Thanks for the news update, Incredible Fish.

The November edition of our blog’s monthly Poptropican’s 911 newsletter is here! A must-read for all Poptropican fans; click the link below to get started!

Read Issue #6, if you dare…

We have also changed our ‘Poptropica Poll’ widget, which you can find on the right side. The current question reads, ”Did you pay any real money for Poptropica merchandise?”

October 2009’s question was, ”Is your Poptropican all dressed up for Halloween?” The results came in as:

Option | Votes | Percentage
Yes, and my costume is so scary, you’d probably faint just at the sight of it! | 1,049 | 46%
I haven’t yet, but I’m preparing for a spooky surprise! | 846 | 37%
No, I don’t celebrate Halloween. | 226 | 10%
Halloween?! What’s the point of that? | 143 | 6%

Hope you’ll enjoy reading our 911 this month, and maybe even be inspired to submit your own entries! Congratulations to everyone who entered something for the 911, whether it made it or not.

For all you hardcore electronic gadget users out there, you’ll be pleased to know that Poptropica has teamed up with SkinIt.com! (Thanks for the news update, Pufflemon.)

Skinit sells decorative skins for all kinds of devices, like laptops, cell phones, music players, and lots more. Did I mention calculators, too? 😛

🙂 Buy ’em now! 🙂

At $14.95 US dollars each, they may seem a little expensive, but it may be well worth it to show off your love for Poptropica! On the left image below is a laptop with its cover decorated with the awesome Shark Tooth Island scene, and over on the right side is a display of an iPod with Ned Noodlehead’s Super Power Island comic shop!

The Multiverse Project, an Ad, and new Store items!

coderkid

I’m posting from my “Coderkid” account instead.

(Motionman95 has changed his WordPress account to ”Coderkid”. They’re the same person.) 😀

First of all, hello again Poptropicans! (Man, I really new to come up with better introductions for my posts… :/)

Anyway, there are 2 new developments in Poptropica:

  • New “Ice Age 3” Ads on the side of Poptropica
  • New Store items “Silly String”, “Followers: Spook Pack”, Werewolves, Creepy Countess, and Swamp Monster costumes!

Silly String, is basically a canister (like on the fire fighter costume) that sprays..well, silly string, duh! 🙂 It’s very useful for PWNing people in Multiverse rooms! 😆

The “Followers: Spook Pack” is basically a different version of the original, including pets such as a ghost, pumpkin, skull, and bat. I think it’ll probably be a “limited time” item. Meanwhile, the other Follower item has been renamed to ”Followers: Classic Pack.”

The new costumes, Swamp Monster and Werewolf Boy, are both scary. Swamp Monster is basically a fishy looking dude, whereas Werewolf Boy is doggy dude, with killer teeth. “Good boy” – I think not. 😆 Only girls get access to the Werewolf Girl and Creepy Countess costumes.

I have the Silly String, and I must say it compliments my outfit! 😛
Take a look, and tell me what you think: Clickey! I’m not sure myself, but I think I was aiming for a “tagger” type theme.

Here’s a picture from the Poptropica Creators’ Blog showing off the ‘frightening’ new items! Let us let the fun begin at the Ghoul’s Gala at the Haunted House! Throw the colorful streamers at the evil monsters and get your little floating skull friend to follow ya. 😛

And in other developments, The Multiverse Project has been released! With this awesome online tool, you’ll be able to submit your Multiverse room codes or view a list of currently open ones. Find your favorite hangout spot and rock out with friends!

Can you believe it? After all this time…it’s finally here. Be the first to try it out.

Enter The Multiverse Project.

I’d love your feedback on it! Don’t forget to look at the post below and read about the Ice Age Ad quest!
