Nice work, Nice Bubbles! 😛

Today Nice Bubbles beat Shark Boy in a game of Sky Dive! Thanks to Cheerful Claw for the quick alert. Remember, it’s not a race to inform everyone about it. Anyway, here’s Shark Boy’s testimony, along with the picture:

Today I was totally rocking on Soupwords and was so close to getting a 5 star battle ranking, but then Nice Bubbles showed up! She challenged me to Skydive, and my battle ranking took a major dive. I used the crying emote a lot 😦

(If you’d like to see it yourself, check it out at: http://blog.poptropica.com/2009/01/shark-boy-attacks-poptropica-and-gets.html.)

On the left side of the picture it shows Shark Boy at the Coconut Cafe (possibly his favorite multiplayer room to hang out) and his battle ranking (4 stars). We now know that his name on Poptropica is “Shark Boy”! This makes it quite likely that Vlad’s could be “Vlad the Viking”, or just “Vlad”, maybe even “Viking.” In the middle, Shark Boy shows off his score of 70 on Soupwords, but it’s cropped so we can’t see his opponent. And on the right we have him losing against a girl, Nice Bubbles. 😛

Next on the news we’ve got: Open Season 2 advertisement! Thanks to Mitchell Brett for this update!

You can find this advertisement building on the far right side of Main Street of any island. You may remember Codien’s special sneak peek of a bear hat some time ago, on another post. Well, this is it – the “bear hat” advertisement! Open Season 2 is a movie, by the way. Here’s a picture I took of the outside (there’s a lot more inside though!):

Now for the grand tour… well, a little tour. 😛

In the movie, the bear’s name is Boog and the mule deer is Elliot. 😉

Big Nate Island, Sneak Peeks

Boy and Seagull

January 21, 2009April 2, 2009 Slanted Fish

What do you get when you cross a seagull and a Poptropican boy? A Big Nate sneak peek! 😀

Thanks Grumpy Wolf for keeping us informed! The setting of this sneak peek looks very familiar to this other one. The picture of the school clock is back and this time it seems that it’s flying time for the birds! The time is different from the last sneak peek, too. Blog picture and information below:

Blog Post Title: Heads up!
Description: What time is it when a seagull flies over your head? Time to get a new hat! Bwaa ha ha! This is why I prefer bunnies to birds.
(If you’re wondering about the comment of bunnies preferred over birds, it’s because this was posted by Poptropica Creator Dr. Hare.)

“…You’re on a mission to find a long-lost time capsule which, if found, can save the school from demolition…”
(Part of the Big Nate Island description from Poptropica.com)

Time: The time capsule relates to time, and so does a clock because it tells time.
School: If the time capsule is found, the school is saved. Also, the sneak peek shows a school clock.

Maybe this clock is related to that time capsule that can save the school? After all, they’re both related to time and school… 😉

Vlad’s New Camera!

January 17, 2009May 7, 2014 Slanted Fish

Poptropica Creator Vlad the Viking mysteriously gained a nice new camera to hang around proudly on his neck! Thanks to Cheerful Claw for the quick update. Vlad promises to visit Poptropica and take pictures of some players and feature them on the Creators’ Blog – and he calls it ‘Snapshot Sagas’. Today he met Shy Speck, and here’s what he had to say:

I, Vlad, having acquired a shiny new camera, will venture across Poptropica in search of fun and unique Poptropicans to feature on this blog. Today I went to the Coconut Cafe on Shark Tooth Island, and was happy to meet Shy Speck!

Keep your eyes open, you may be featured next time on Snapshot Sagas!

Congratulations on being the first featured Poptropican in Snapshot Sagas, Shy Speck! And to everyone else out there – watch out for Vlad’s camera, who knows when you may meet him on Poptropica!

Counterfeit Island, Sneak Peeks

Turned to Stone

January 16, 2009August 2, 2018 Slanted Fish

Another sneak peek from the Creators, thanks to Mitchell Brett for the update! We’re not sure which island it’s showing this time, Codien believes its another sneak peak of the French themed island – but whatever it is, it looks pretty cool. There’s a stone building with some statues of Poptropicans lined along the sides of the windows. Before we get into too much detail, here’s the picture:

Blog Post Title: A Stony Stare
Description: Here are some of the great Poptropicans immortalized in stone.

Possibly the French-themed island, as Codien thinks, but we’re not sure for now. Comment about what you think! 🙂

By the way, we’re still having the same problem at PHB about commenting, so for the 3rd time, here’s the important notice you must keep in mind:

Special Note: It is not a race to be the first to tell everyone about a new post on the Creators’ Blog. We’ve had many comments saying the same thing (”New post on Creators’ Blog!!!!”) and it is very annoying. If someone has already mentioned it, don’t bother to say it again – it’s not necessary. If people continue to spam and repeat the same thing over an over again, it will show us that you cannot handle this and we will stop giving out credits. Please comment appropriately. Thanks!

Also, remember to read up on the post below if you haven’t done so already. Be prepared, a Poptropica Creator could play against you next! 😀

Go Tough Skull!

January 15, 2009April 20, 2014 Slanted Fish

Congratulations, Tough Skull!

“We can’t all be winners,” says Shark Boy, one of Poptropica’s Creators. Today he logged onto Poptropica to play Star Link against Tough Skull, but Tough Skull, living up to his/her name, was tough and wouldn’t let Shark Boy win. Thanks Kaliki for the information about this new post. Shark Boy says:

Every once in a while we like to hop on Poptropica and play against some of you! Sadly, today wasn’t my day…Tough Skull totally trashed me on Star Link. Nice one Tough Skull.

That picture above was included in Shark Boy’s post. If you want to read more about it, here’s the link:
http://blog.poptropica.com/2009/01/we-all-cant-be-winners.html

Sadly, Star Link doesn’t show the player’s names so we don’t know what Shark Boy’s name on Poptropica was. However, if you see Tough Skull wandering around Poptropica, be sure to congratulate him/her somehow (maybe by challenging him/her to another game of Star Link?)! 😛

Oh, and you better practice your Star Link skills, as well as all the other multiplayer games! You never know when a Creator might challenge you next! 😆
