Energy bacon– I mean hog, quest.

Earth Day

Until we put an end to pollution, there’s no way I’m going to leave my hazmat suit. Check the Poptropica store for a new FREE Earth Day quest. Not only will you be helping to save the earth, but just for helping out, we’ll give you some free Poptropica credits!

Hazmat Hermit sure is paranoid… anyway, there’s a new quest for Earth Day (which is on April 22)! You can buy it from the Poptropica Store for free (YAY! :D) And when you complete it, you’ll get 50 credits and an earth day shirt…

It’s fairly easy compared to the other ads/quests, which has disappointed other people. I honestly don’t care because, hey, credits are credits, aren’t they?  😀

So when you get in the house in the quest, you have to turn off the electronics that were turned on by “energy hogs”. I seriously thought that there were gonna be hogs chasing my poptropican, but my hopes and dreams were crushed when I found out that poptropicans were gonna be the energy hogs. 😐

There are only 3 floors, and to turn off the electronics, you just click on them. You have to keep turning them off so that your meter stays in the “Acceptable” (blue) part. Pretty easy, right?

When you’re done, you’ll get 50 credits and a cool earth day shirt. =D So, yeah… happy early earth day everyone! I’m gonna be looking for recyclables in the lunch trash cans at school with the rest of the environmental club. xD Don’t worry, we’re gonna have gloves on. 😀

Reality TV Island, Sneak Peeks

Not Boar-ing

Hey people!  Green Seal here. 😀 There’s a new post on the Poptropica Creator’s Blog, posted by Hazmat Hermit (Thanks for the update, PerfectStorm57!):

Getting Boar-ed?

As a hermit I try to avoid meeting people but sometimes it’s hard to find a place to be alone. When I reached this island in the middle of the ocean, I figured I was the only person around for miles. I soon realized this place is full of some of the craziest people I’ve ever seen! Why would anyone run around with a jar of water on their head? It seems dangerous, especially when there’s an angry boar out to get you. I’m going to monitor the situation and see what I can find out.

0_o That boar is.. uh, creepy-looking.  This post is probably a sneak peek of Reality TV.  That jar looks about the same size as that poptropican. 0_o How can she carry that?  Well, remember in the when they said you will be competing or something like that?  This race is probably one of the things you will compete in, and I have to say that I would not like to be chased by a boar with a jar the size of me. xD

By the way, news in the Poptropica Help Forums say that the PHF has been featured in TV!  Could this be true? 0_o Check this thread for more info: http://thephf.com/forums/showthread.php?518-OMG-the-PHF-was-on-TV!!!!!!

This is all for now! 😀

Bonus Items, Store

Limited Edition Robin Hood! And a mask…

Golden Eagle popping in from a school day. Homework, check. Read a chapter of my book, check.  Study for quiz…QUIZ? Oh yeah, check. 😀

Anyway, there has been a new costume reported in the Poptropica Store. It’s another LE one (Limited Edition). This time its Robin Hood, and it comes in two colors, a first for the LE costumes.

For the post:

Attention Protectors of Sherwood Forest!

The wardrobe for the Nottingham legend has expanded! Limited supply of fabrics or the new styles has caused a shortage of costumes to distribute, so grab yours while you can!

  Vlad The Viking

Since that picture from the Creators Blog shows the black version, I’ll show the white version.

This LE costume also seems to have a Limited Number ticket onto it. Noo!!!

Not BUYERS IMPULSE!!! *faints*

I also went to a Multiverse room today, and was I lucky! I got to meet one of the Creators, Hazmat Hermit! 😀

In the picture you can see Hazmat Hermit, of course. You can also see Shaggy Tornado (who visited the party as Tall Ice), me, Deathstalker (there as Big Bird, in the corner of the picture) and Serious Fox (Blue Ring in this picture). She’s been wanting this for a while, so I’ll give it to her. Visit her Poptropica Blog here.

I also took some other pictures with the other people at the party (I had a little trouble….).

You can see me, Shaggy Tornado, Moody Skull, Golden Butterfly (also known as Maroon Fire), Cool Fly, Eddie305, Rolling Moon, and Serious Fox’s main account.

The mask Cool Fly has may be a Lego Bionicle mask (according to Deathstalker, and I’ll believe him because it looks like he knows what he’s talking about most of the time). Or, some people say it came from the limited number Golden Pop Star outfit, which is no longer on sale.

Anyway, I’m out.

Peace!

Excalibur’s Fate

Whiz, whiz, whiz…

Excalibur, Hazmat Hermit’s spaceship, is whizzing across outer space as we speak. It just escaped a black hole (Danger Danger!), but unfortunately the controls have just stopped working. “Oh boy…” the hermit thinks desperately. He grabs his cell phone and dials his friend’s number. “Binary Bard! Can you hear me??” he yells. A faint voice replies from the other end: “…crashed… stranded… dangerous helmet-fish…”  The phone clicks dead. “WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!” cries HH in frustration. “Excalibur isn’t working, I don’t know where I’m going, Binary Bard’s not making any sense, my phone’s dead, and to top that all off, there’s a brown place up ahead that it looks like I’m about to crash into -”

Bang.
Excalibur just crash-landed side-first into a pool of mud. Its top, which is made of glass, now has cracks in it. The spaceship’s base is dirty. From inside the UFO, Hazmat Hermit grunts, trying to heal his wounds. “Ugh! What a mess I’m in! I bet my UFO got too near the black hole, and now it’s in bad shape.” He tries to get up, but slips and gets stuck in the mud. “Oh, could this day get any worse?”

Blog Post Title: Stuck in the Mud
Description: There’s plenty to worry about on Astro-Knights Island. Things are falling right out of the sky! I may have a hazmat suit, but there’s no way I was going to wade through that mud to investigate.

The Dragon of Dangers

Thank you Grumpy Wolf for all the updates and news below.

Roooaarrrrrrrr.

What was that? “That, little knight, was the sound of the great metallic creature, the Dragon of Dangers,” a mysterious voice echoed in the misty red background of what appeared to be the dragon’s lair. The red knight jumped in surprise, and found himself face-to-face with a large, scary-looking green-and-brown dragon made of metal. Its glowing red eyes seemed to glare at him. “Yikes!” The knight gulped, and, in great fear, fainted to the ground.

Will you have the courage to face strong opponents on Astro-Knights Island? Here’s a piece of advice: Don’t be like the little red knight, but instead use your logic to bypass even the scariest monsters.

Does that knight look familiar to you? Yep, it was shown in PHB Sneak Peek #3: The New Knights of Poptropica. And that’s a good example of why PHB Sneak Peeks are real! 😀

Looks like there’s another new kid on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog: Hazmat Hermit, who first appeared on March 26, 2009 to show us the sneak peek shown above. He is an NPC (non-player character) at the County Prison of Main Street, Super Power Island. If you want to visit him, he’s the one standing on top of the meteor and wearing the Hazmat suit. This is what the name “Hazmat Hermit” means:

Hazmat: an abbreviation for ‘hazardous material’
Hermit: a person who has withdrawn to a solitary place; any person living in seclusion
Taken from Dictionary.com

An isolated being wearing dangerous clothing?! Maybe we should keep away from him, then…
