Why I Might Quit Poptropica.... Yet Again

Hey guys, Storm here. Lately, I have been thinking about Leaving Poptropica What will this be, like, my 3rd or 4th departure since 2012? I can't even remember anymore. It's too much to count. I have already cancelled my recurring membership twice in favor of other things. Now,  I might just quit and possibly hand my account out to somebody that I know can handle it, and leave forever. I do love Poptropica so very much, as stated last fall, when I was very close to leaving permanently until Poptropica convinced me to stay. But now, I don't know. If I do quit, I will probably return every once in a while when a new island comes out, but other than that, I probably won't be online much. This is pretty much the final straw. Here are a few reasons why.

Galactic Hot Dogs Advertising
I don't mind advertising for one of the products coming from Poptropica's partner site, but there is Galactic Hot Dogs everywhere. Billboards, login prizes, ad buildings, videos popping up in random places sometimes, kiosks, minigames, quests (app), and now it even has its own island. Now, if GHD had a good story with lovable and relatable characters, was suitable for small children, and was easy to understand, then it would be an okay choice to advertise. There is a problem with all of these factors though.
Good story - I don't know about you guys, but I think GHD has a terrible story. Yes, I know, I've only read a few of the publishings, but I know that it isn't that good. Oh, they're trying to win a cooking contest? Why don't we watch a show that has the exact same plotline? Plenty of people agree with me on the fact that watching TV is easier than reading a book. With TV, you can just sit down, flick through channels, find something you like, and sit there for 15-45 minutes, adapting to the storyline, checking out all the visual effects, etc. 
Lovable Characters - I don't like Cosmoe that much. He seems to talk about butts a lot. For some reason, I find that disturbing. He also is pretty cruel to animals. In just the first issue, he showed us his friend, Goober. Goober is basically a parasite. He is permanently stuck on Cosmoe's arms, because if he gets off, he will die. Basically, Cosmoe is the only reason he is alive. Goober is also pretty helpful. He can carry stuff as if he was a third hand. He can also transform into other objects. Goober probably helped in the building of the Neon Wiener, Cosmoe's spaceship, as well. How does Cosmoe repay Goober? Using him as a fart dampener. That's right, he crushes this poor, helpless being by sitting on him, farting on him, and forcing him to inhale the fumes through his nostrils and his skin. What a jerk!
Relatable Characters - Have you guys ever been chased by a robot mob for taking (or just transporting) a giant 200-pound hot dog that you needed to win a cooking battle with? Me neither. This is basically all they do in this series, from what I can tell. But that's just me. If you can get something out of it other than that, good for you, but I have a hard time believing that a bunch of 6-year-olds will get anything new out of it.
Suitable for small children - No way. If you have even read the first issue, you would know this is not okay for 9 year olds, much less 6 year olds, one of Poptropica's main age groups. Let me just copy down a paragraph from the very first page of the series.
         "Dude, this thing is the size of a freaking Jeep! People are going to love the Mega-Dog!" I exclaim.
Did you guys see that. The size of a freaking Jeep.
Freaking Jeep.
Freaking JEEP ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION
And here's Poptropica, advertising this to a bunch of 6-year-olds. What happens when their parent's asked where they learned that word and the kids say, "Poptropica"? Memberships cancelled, website banned with threat of 2 week grounding. Yep. Maybe some parent's won't mind, but hey, when I was 6, if I said that, I was in deep trouble. Maybe I'm being too tough on Poptropica. They do own GHD in a way. They need a way to advertise it, but maybe it should be on other websites with AdSense instead. Neahhh, Poptropica needs the beat-down every once in a while just like any good franchise.
Easy to understand - No. I don't know if Princess Dagger is a friend or a foe, frankly. I think I've said enough.

Episodic Islands - In 2013, Poptropica was experimenting with a new play layout. This was a pretty good choice except for a few problems.
1: No Islands for about 9 Months
2: They Got Rid of the Daily Pop button.
Now, let's talk about #1, because #2 isn't that big of a problem.
No new quests for 9 months. This is a terrible thing to do. If they released a new island every 3 months and let the new layout construction take a few more months, that's okay with me. Now, I note that they still haven't moved very far in finishing it, as the Inventory for Store Items is still broken and incomplete after 2 years of construction. This is not my main problem with it though. No, I haven't mentioned it yet, believe it or not. My main problem is this. Because they weren't releasing that many islands, they decided to release Episodic islands to get the quests out quicker. With that, they released Survival Island as the first episodic island ever. Survival Island did not have a blimp, because it crashed. This is a great plotline for Survival island, but they should have just released it all as one island. Think about what Cryptids Island would look like if it was released in episodes! YUCK!!!!!! Anyway, not only did Survival Island have no blimp, but it also came out in 5 episodes. Once about every other month. Yes, it took longer to make 7 Episodes (Including 2 from Mission:Atlantis, which, in my opinion, is pretty strange) than it would if they just made 2 full non-episodic islands. Also, the No Blimp thing from Survival island has appeared in the 3 other episodic islands and the latest full island, GHD. THE BLIMP IS POPTROPICAS LOGO, FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, I just HATE that they released in episodes.

Comics - Comics were nice, and the story went very well. Then they waited about 3 or 4 months. Then, they didn't release new comics. They decided to make a comic book. A COMIC BOOK. In the comic book, they introduced 2 new characters to the story, while still keeping Jorge and Oliver in the story. Now here's the problem. Why don't we see those characters in the comics? Also, there are the blog posts. EVERY SINGLE WEEKDAY THEY RELEASE A NEW BLOG POST ABOUT THE STUPID BOOK WITH A TERRIBLE STORY ABOUT HOW A GUY WAS MENTALLY ILL AND SABOTAGED EVERYONE TO THEIR DEATH!j

Spam posts - Poptropica has released a ton of blog posts talking about how there's a new page to their stupid book. This worked okay with the comic strip, because they only released a new blog post once a week. Now, with a new post every day about a new page, I would say that the blog in the past month has been 80% Mystery of the Mappz pages.

Missing Shark Boy - In the past year, Poptropica has almost completely removed Shark Boy from existence. He used to be their mascot. Now they use Dr. Hare as a main character. Dr Hare is a mentally insane scientist. Most of the time, they are only villains, not helpful character. Shark Boy has been replaced by Dr. Hare at his position of holding a pencil on the Daily Pop Sneak Peeks. Almost all of Shark Boy's old posts on the Poptropica Creator's Blog have been replaced by posts identical, but by Dr Hare. They have removed all Shark Boy figures from their toy page. Shark Boy is my favorite character, and they replaced him with an insane bozo who think's he's a pink rabbit. How stupid.

See what I mean?

Until next time, Poptropica or not, this is Storm signing off.

Great Club Penguin Party Ideas

Hey guys, Storm here. Yes, I know, I need to do reviews for the School/Skate party as well as the ongoing SoundStudio party, but until then, I have some great ideas that I feel would make some pretty great parties. Thanks to Chillin43 for his magnificent work on Club Penguin Thoughts/Perspective for inspiring me.

1: Brown Puffle Expedition
Yes, I know that this already happened, but wouldn't it be really cool if it happened again? I mean, like, I love the idea of visiting a party I could have visited if I was just a few months earlier in joining. I would love to see a shortage in Brown puffles, so we have to go back to the Brown Puffle's cave to get a few more (like 100 out of the, I don't know, but there has to be at least 500) so players can adopt more. It would boost the ratings of the highly underrated brown puffle, who is technically the best puffle ever. Think about it. They can build spaceships out of nothing in a second. They have their own little society in that cave of theirs. They somehow got cookies. They can help G (who is currently cuckoo in the noggin) build inventions similar to the time trekker. They build SHRINK RAYS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! Anyway, sorry for getting off topic. So here's how it works.
Puffles are running low at the pet shop, but luckily, just last Thursday (we all know it has to be Thursday, guys) Gary discovered that the Brown puffle can mix genes with other puffles and not only create those same puffle types, but possibly new types of puffles like the slightly rumored in 2012 Magenta Puffle. This could boost the server rankings (like they have more penguins on them, currently I have no idea what to call it) with all the old penguins that left years ago, like Heatblast, Oscar One, and possibly even the original Vital Viper. This will also be exciting for new players, learning what it would be like to have visited this party in 2011.
Gary has called up Rory, who has just become a newly relevant character, to cut down a few trees by the dock so we can get into the wilderness. Remember that one path with the wilderness explorer hats on it at the beginning of the quest? I would love to see that path with weeds and giant plants, with that box being decayed and all the hats inside soggy and mildewwy. Then, in the maze, it would be darker, but with branches falling out of the trees, and possibly a few sightings of the puffle creatures (deer, raccoon, bat) in certain areas. Otherwise, the maze will be the same. Then we get to Gary's invention. That is old, falling apart, and is kind of worn down. Like, a lot. We then get a list of supplies that we need to get from the Ski Lodge, for example, some dominoes, a rope, a fishing pole, a couch cushion, and a crate. Then, you go back through the maze (or use the map) to go to the Ski Lodge. You then have to click on the items that you need. Once you have them all, you can go back, and you won't have to go through the maze again. Then, click on the machine. Then you figure out where the pieces go, with one little hint from Gary, but only one for all the items. Once the machine is built, you travel down to to the shore. The boat is deconstructed, and you have to build it, just like the 2011 party, but you will need a life vest to get across. This time, the life vest is for all players. You then can hop into the boat by waddling to it, and then clicking the sail to make it go towards the cave. Once you are on the shore, your boat will crash into a rock by the shore, because it sailed away in the sudden wind, and on the shore there is a free item box with backgrounds of what the cave looked like in the first party. Maybe, just maybe, there will be another free for all box with the Sailor Cap in it for all players, so players who do not have the app can still obtain it. Then, members can enter the Brown Puffle cave, and it seems as if they are striving better than Generation 1 of Brown Puffles with technology and such. It seems as if they have grown their own genetically modified O'Berry Bushes that create giant O'berries 2.5 times bigger than normal O'Berries. We then get to carry 5 brown puffles on our shoulders and play a Puffle Rescue-type minigame to get them to shore with the pieces left of our boat still floating around. There will be 1 level only, but it will be the length of 2. Once we are on shore, you fall asleep. When you wake up, it turns out that you have been moved to the Pet Shop. This will feature an animation similar to that of the one at the end of PSA Mission 2. Anyway, PH says that you were brave and helpful in helping the Brown Puffles that were adoptable not only be replenished, but they are now smarter because of watching what the new generation also helped the original set grow smarter. You now win a new cave igloo. I don't mean like the normal cave igloo already available, I mean a cave with a little bit of iron ore, aluminum ore, whatever they mined for in the mine, and one tiny chunk of silver, and a tinier chunk of gold. That kind of cave. Your brown puffle, is now also smarter and can do a new trick exclusive to brown puffles. That is build. He builds something cool, like for example, a lamp, rocking horse, vacuum, modern art, or beanbag. That item will be in that location until you log off. Other players will not see it, but it will be super cool.

2: Camp Penguin
No, I don't mean like the original Camp Penguin, with like the campsite with marshmallow sticks and the tents and stuff. I mean like a children's summer camp. The beach could be the signup area. This specific room that penguins are sent to directly from login. This is the first room they see.  This room would work well with a signup area by the lighthouse. This idea kinda reminds me of the Save the Migrator event of 2008. There will be 2 mascots sitting behind the signups table, helping penguins sign up. PH and Sensei are very underused, so I think they would be a good fit. Sensei is old and wise, and PH is very intelligent and adventurous, something helpful in a summer camp counselor.  Around the table, there will be signs advertising Camp Penguin. Then, the dock is the lake. The dock features a minigame featuring a diving contest jumping into the ocean off the dock(lake for this specific party), but there will also be another boat. No, not a speedboat like Hydrohopper (which will still be there, but the boat will look like a pontoon) this boat will be a canoe. In this game, you can have canoe races with up to 3 other penguins. To win, you have to answer the most correct out of 15 questions about Club Penguin. It will be a trivia game. The winner gets a gold trophy igloo item. Winning a second time will give you nothing, but winning a third time will get you a trophy shelf (or case, whatever it's called) igloo item for your igloo. Nonmembers can have 3 total, while members can get up to 5 per day.
The town center will be cabin row. there will be a dirt path leading from the dock to the snow forts, and to each of the 3 buildings, each being transformed into a camp-related building. The coffee shop will be a camper's cabin, with a bunk bed or two in the coffee shop  part, but there will be a door leading to the bean counters, smoothie smash, and coffee shop counter area (called the minikoffee)
for this party only. The nightclub danceclub being transformed into the art building where the kids build and draw art to take home after the 2-week camping session is finished. The gift shop Clothes Shop will be turned into a gift shop, like previously named, for canteens, hiking sticks, power bars, etc. The area behind the counter where the Hawaiian Lei and Party Hat (aka Beta Hat) currently reside will hold pictures of the 2007 Camp Penguin along with the free item, the Marshmallow stick, and a piece of the bridge crossing the river at the cove.
The Snow Forts will be transformed into a kind-of hiking woods. There will be hiking trails with dirt paths and lots of trees here, kind of like the start of the Wilderness Expedition (original, not the one imagined by me) room, or possibly like the maze from the same party.
The plaza will not be transformed too much. There will be some shrubbery on the ground, but the buildings aren't too different. The pet shop and hotel will look the same, but instead of the archway to the park, there will be a wooden sign with the word "Park" on it with an arrow pointing toward the entrance. The stage will look like an old ruined shack from long ago. The pizza parlor will be the Mess Hall, or the Dining Hall, if you want to call it that. This is because the Pizza Parlor seemed like such a great fit as the mess hall during the 2007 Camp Penguin. The stage will have a new play, a spinoff of Quest for the Golden Puffle, named Quest of the Ancient Tree Dryad, where they look for a dryad, (a tree monster) in the forest behind the Ski Lodge previously seen in Operation:Puffle. The play will have the set of the Rapids (Operation Puffle room), but with more land than that. They will eventually find a tree dryad and have to stop it from scaring puffles.
The forest will be similar, but the river will flow from the top of the room to the bottom. This river will flow out of the island. Anyway, There will be a bit more trees, and the waterfall will be taller.
The mine shack will be a little area where the mine is entered via hiking down a dirt trail into a cave instead of the mine's pink outside building. The school will be a cave as well, but it will have makeshift doors made of pine wood, the most common wood in Club Penguin.
 The cove will also have a waterfall similar to how it did before, and the surf shop will not be there. There will be 3 or 4 surfboards leaning up on the cliff, so just in case you wanted to go surfing, you could. There would also be an exclusive minigame here where you can ride down the waterfall. I haven't figured out much of how that will work yet, but it's late here in the US, so I'll figure that out later.

3: The Time Trekker Concept
This idea is by Chillin43's original website, Club Penguin Perspective. You no longer can visit this site, but the blog archive has been uploaded to his current blog, Club Penguin Thoughts. A few short minutes before typing this post up, I finished reading all the posts on the website.
For this party, you can visit important events in Club Penguin history, and visit the locations that they took place in. For example, you could visit the Beta Test Party. You couldn't pick up the party hat, but you could visit it. The next day, you could visit the Plaza Opening Party. Then the Underground Pool Opening Party. Then the Cove Opening Party. Then the Danceclub Reopening Party, and so on. This would also feature new rooms, like you could visit the Puffle Party 2014, but only the Plaza and the Park. Nothing More. For the beta party, you could visit the Town and the Coffee Shop. Plaza Opening Party, the Plaza, Snow Forts, Pet Shop, and Pizza Parlor. The Cove Opening Party the Forest and Cove, and the Nightclub reopening party, strictly the nightclub. Get my point? But this party may need a plotline, but in case that happens, I have one. Gary created a wormhole when he was trying to pick up Garianna and Gariwald VIII to go visit Garugg in the past. Characters from one family line cannot go together at the same time, so therefore, all of Gary's relatives have been spread about throughout the past and the future. We get to visit a bit of each character's time. Garugg: Prehistoric Party, 2 rooms. Garianna, 1600s: 3 Rooms. Gariwald VIII: 1850s, 2 Rooms, all of normal gary's time, and Gary 3000's time in the future. We get to visit these, but along the way, you have to stop in a few time zones to pick up fuel, because the time trekker runs on Grass, which is pretty obviously uncommon in Club Penguin. There is more grass in certain time zones. Gary collects grass while you explore the time of CP's history that you are currently in, solving minor problems along the way, like at the end of EPF DS. Once all 13 missions are done, there are still minor problems. Missing Tour Guide, Missing Puffles, Mixed Up Igloo, The Penguin is lost, his puffle is behaving strangely, etc. These missions usually do not require any agent skills or anything agent-like for that matter. Neither will the ones implemented during this party. One penguin is concerned about the pizza parlor being too crowded since everyone has to eat inside with the patio tables and chairs being replaced by the Stage just a mere month ago, for example. Once we visit all important  parts of CP's history, we can then travel to the time of Gary's relatives. Once we collect them all, we can leave Gary behind while we take the one character back to the correct time zone. This will be in the form of a mini-game similar to the Snow Trekker game on the DS. Click and drag for the Time Trekker to move across a vortex map of Club Penguin from 5000 BC (150 Million, if you believe its that old) to AD 3000 where Gary 3000 lives. The biggest part of the vortex map will be main CP. To go to the selected time period, click on that time period normally while the time trekker is on it. Once all is fixed, nonmembers get 3 free items. The Time Hat, the Warp Costume (from Teen Titans episode "How Long is Forever?") and the Meateor of the Future (A Space Meteor made of dinosaur meat. We already killed plenty when we played Dino Dig, so killing more is okay, in CP's book) and members will, like one of the previous quests, earn a new igloo, along with a new igloo location. The igloo location will be the warp zone. It will appear similar to what it looks like through the windshield when traveling from the present to the past in the Prehistoric Party. The igloo itself will be Gariwald's mansion. It will feature 3 areas. The main entryway, the library, and the kitchen/dining room. It will look similar to Gariwald's original mansion, but more compact, and with no furniture, only walls and flooring. If you get the special edition Gariwald's mansion code from the Gariwald's Mansion playset that was released before the party, you can get an igloo that has separate rooms. Gariwald's mansion will look similar to the one that members earn at the end of the party, but has a door in the back leading to another section with 3 more rooms. The playset will cost $39.95 USD and will cost a similar price in other currencies.

I love these ideas. When they hit me, instant room designs came to mind. If I can, I will try to team up with SandorL and Snowpenguincat to help these get real SWFs that look like they are from Club Penguin. Then, I will send them to Club Penguin support and try to turn them into real parties. I know it's a long shot, but it's worth a try. Until next time, this is Storm signing off.

Minecraft: Club Penguin - Review

Hey guys, Storm here. If you didn't know that I had a PlanetMC page, you must be living under a rock. It's been sitting on the bottom of the page for at least a year now.

In case you forgot, (which you probably did if you read the whole list) we are still reviewing Beta V1.0. I think this was a very good update. It could have been better if I had MC1.6 during this time though. (I didn't. I only was able to get MC1.5.1)

Beta V1.1
This was a quite important and memorable update. This update replaced Beta V1.0 after less than 48 hours, and in that time I had completed the Ski Village and the Beach. Quite remarkable, if I do say so myself.

Beta V1.1.1
This update was very bland and only featured 3 minor updates. This update download didn't even work, so it didn't matter anyway.

Beta V1.2
This was a kind of..... experiment. I was testing around with parties during this update. This also featured the first Scavenger Hunt featured in the world of Club Penguin along with many other updates necessary in the future. This was one of my favorite Beta update and my 3rd favorite update overall.

Beta V1.3
This was quite a big update. It featured updates to the almost Gift Shop, Pizza Parlor, and snow forts. This was also the update revealing the new hub; the one you see today. Many things you see today were added in Beta V1.3

Beta V1.4
This update was very very very important.
It featured the update revealing some of the places you see today. We upgraded the nightclub and gift shop as you see them today. This was also the update with the newly-built Ski Mountain. It hasn't changed since. This was also the update revealing the igloo with rooms. In the last update it was just an empty room with a few signs inside.

Medieval Party
This was a landmark update. I got to a point I thought I would never get to. So on April 12th, Club Penguin left Beta Edition and became known as a different type of update. Instead of Beta V1.4 or Beta V1.47, it would be called "Club Penguin" with no suffix or prefix. A few hours later, the Medieval Party became available. This was the first real party, and was very memorable. This party featured many features, such as the special Tree Fort room in the Forest and the Throne Room in the Dance Lounge, and even Merlin's Library in the Book Room. Though it was very low standard, it was way better than the party in Beta, the Water Party. Coming soon in May, we will see the return of the Medieval Party with all-new party rooms, a new special party game, and a scavenger hunt.

Western Party
This party was very small and unimportant. I almost forgot about it due to it's low amount of party rooms and short scavenger hunt. But don't worry, it will return in July with more features and party rooms.

Fall Fair
This party was extremely fun to create and to play. It's a shame that the download link was broken for six whole days. It was the first party to have a bouncepad in it, and the second party to have a secret room. If you missed this party, don't fret, for this party returns this September.

Halloween Party
I spent probably more time on this party than any other party. It had spooky decorations and all. This was the first party to take place at night and the first party to have a special party room branching off of the hub building. This is a very good party. I think this was the best party in quality of decorations. The Halloween Party will return, just as you suspected, in October.

Holiday Party
This party would have been great if I didn't miss the release date. This party was planned to be launched on December 21st, and ended up launching on December 26th, after Krismas,but just in time for Kwanzaa. This party will return for an encore in December.

Future Party
This party was created for one purpose - for the players who quite a couple years ago to see the ups and downs of Current Club Penguin and to give the penguins who joined in 2013-2014 to see what Current Club Penguin would look like in Minecraft. This party was suspected to take a long time to build, so I started in November.

Party Review - Halloween Party 2014

Hey guys, Storm here. This party was pretty good in my opinion, but needed a little work. Decorate the Ski Village and Mine, and don't have a puffle as a prize. BORING!
The rest was okay. The quests were easy and fun, but the 11th floor was hard. That's okay though.
That's it for this crappy review of a party that happened quite a while ago! Until next time, this is Storm signing off.
