Happy Birthday Spurs1996!

Guest Post By Jamie

No, this isn’t some over-rated *OMG COME TO MY CP PARTY WE’LL, LIKE, TALK TO 7 YEAR OLDS AND STUFF* birthday post, it’s just telling you that I’m 13 tomorrow. This is awesome for two reasons:

1. I get presents
2. I can actually use my real age to sign up to web services like FaceBook and YouTube

Anyway, since my penguin on Club Penguin got banned forever (no, I don’t still play it), and the picture from the Ppl Page got deleted by accident, me and Legoless put together a new picture:

legoless: Everyone sing Jamie a Happy Birthday in a comment now! Also, don’t forget to read my third Spore post about tribal stage below if you haven’t already.
Jamie: Cos of it’s insane AWSHUMNESS!

Club Penguin: Revisited

After not going on the site in about… what, nine/ten months? (Apart from the occasional rumour of a half-decent party going on.) I got a shock when I decided to log in again (I heard there was a ‘Box Party’). Firstly, there are lil ninjas running around the place (I remember going on when this came out – I was all ‘ZOMG ORANGE NINJAS JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED’), and some beardy dude at the Dojo (which actually has an outside!) Oh yeah, now I remember, there was like an avalanche that messed up the place. I kept owning woof at the card game. Only half-decent game on there other than Aqua Grabber. (Wootz my penguin is 725 days old! That’s like… ancient for a bunch of pixels! I’m surprised it hasn’t keeled over and died yet…)

Anyway, the first thing I noticed was… woah 31 new messages! Most was just junk, I think there was a holiday postcard from woof, some rubbish from my puffles, and a bunch of old events and ‘you’re membership will run out in 37 days’ warnings. One card was saying something about a member party in the night club. There’s two new games there. A DJ yoke and a dance signup table. It looked stupid, but it turned out my penguin was a natural at the Riverdance.

“Penguins watch in awe at the might of T67yu Nm76’s dance moves.”

After not seeing a box in sight, I went off to go cry in the pet shop. Then I noticed a little egg in the corner of the screen. After running around for a while finding more eggs I got some pink bunny ears. Oh the joy.

<—— CLICKIT!!1

Just found a party from a few weeks back. This must be that member party thing (to be honest I didn’t even know what it was – I was just taking a picture of the desk thing. You have to document things like that – you never know when a screenshot will save your life.)

And another one. (Dear God what did they do to the forest?!)

That party sucked. A free item I already got was the only thing of interest. And the pin I suppose. Didn’t bother to find it though, so…

Oh, and here’s a picture from the Stage. Check out the blue side. They used my ‘BLUES BLUES THEY NEVER LOSE!’ slogan. Maybe I didn’t make it up after all. Or maybe I did and I should be rolling on the ground going ‘OMG CP USED MY IDEA IM GONNA BECOME SO POPULAR EVEN BILLYBOB WILL BE CROWDING ME’. Either way, pretty nice picture, don’t you think?

And puffles aren’t as stupid as they used to be! Now they don’t sleep on the floor as much, and enjoy drinking from fishtanks, toilets, and stagnent pools of hot chocolate.

And there’s a new book in the book room where you can put socks on a guy. So awesome.

And look at this for an artistic puffle. That looks exactly like me.

…

So as I was saying, I got some pink bunny ears. Then I found a chocolate bunny pin on a rock somewhere.  I went to the dojo and got up to purple belt, whupping newbs left and right. And then I run into Spider880, an old friend. He doesn’t go on WordPress much anymore, but he still played CP and (I think) Poptropica. I told him about my box problem and he told me to go to an igloo on the map. I arrive there and low and behold… a box. But not any ordinary box. These were one of those April Fools boxes from some party back in 06 (and juging from the *cough* new look of this guys igloo, this year’s party too). I step into the box and….

ZHOOM! Spider then procedes to give me a tour of the box demention. Not much of a tour, though. “The tour isn’t meant to cover the box demention I’m confused…” But on the bright side, the music was ok and your snowballs go all wobbly! Then the owner of the igloo came in, and I beat him up. But when I tried to nick his box a big message popped up saying ‘members only’.

So I went off sulking. Luckily for me, I ran into a bunch of chocolate bunny penguins. One was walking… a white puffle? Damn. I wanted orange. After discovering the white puffle was a vicious as he sounded and watching him eat a bunny penguin whole, I decided to move on.

And then I found a pink bunny ninja!

After a long day making fun of people and being angry at CP, I retired to my igloo… which had turned back into a block of ice since my membership ran out. And I had to share it with 7 puffles. Woof apparently got kicked out of his house again for not paying the rent, so he decided to camp out in my basement. Whcih was removed with my membership. So now I was sharing my igloo with 7 puffles and a fat penguin thing that smelt like wet feathers and candy floss. I even had to read him a book to get him to shut up talking to the puffles all night.

Well, there you have it folks. Club Penguin is now under the control of white puffles, chocolate bunnies, ninjas and evil member boxes.

Happy Half A Million!

Mick’s Blog has reached half a million hits! And it only took 18 months.

I could just leave it at that, but while I’m in posting mood I guess I’ll make a really long page-stretcher with un-needed details and random pictures.

First Post:

Clickie. Yup, this is my first post. I dunno what happened to Mr WordPress… I probably deleted him.

20,000 Views:

Clickie. Not much of an achievement compared to 500,000, but still. (In case you were wondering the Club Penguin party sucked. Badly.)

Pumpkin Party:

Clickie. The only Club Penguin post I’m still proud of writing. A review of my only Club Penguin party that was worth trying to organise. I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside every time I read it. 🙂

WordPress Free Space Upgrade:

Clickie. One of the best WordPress updates ever. Without it my site would be a much blander world, and you would not see the dancing man below this.

Woof Appears:

Clickie. This is woof’s first post. (He’s an author now by the way, in case that post is misguiding.)

ZOMG WHO HIRED THAT NUB?!:

Clickie. This is Jamie’s first post.

Best. Movie. Ever.:

Clickie. Who knew randomness could be such a wonderful thing?

Half A Million Hits:

Clickie.

…

You didn’t seriously click that, did you?

Anyway, make sure you leave a comment on this momentous post so that future generations can laugh in your face and say ‘Woah, look at guy’s stupid avatar!’.

Late News + New Newspaper

Sorry I didn’t post these sneak peeks earlier, but I didn’t get time to publish them till now.

First of all, here’s a Penguin Mail stamp sneak peak. (Taken from CPIP Blog.)

It looks pretty cool.

Next is a sneak peek for this year’s Summer Kickoff Party. (Taken from Official CP Blog.)

I can’t believe they’re gonna ruin one of my favourite parties of the year by turning it into a water-themed party. 🙄 Last year’s summer party was way better than last year’s water party, I don’t know what CP are thinking.

And lastly, here are two pictures of the newly-designed player card. (Taken from CPIP Blog.) It looks very well organised.

CP also made a video about what happened to the money we donated for Coins for Change back in December.

And now for the new newspaper.

There’s more about the Water Party ’08 on the first page.

Aunt Artic answers an interesting question in her section: “What is behind the curtain in the Dance Lounge?”

This month’s play looks cool. I can’t wait to buy a time-traveling hat. 😛

There’s a freaky illustration for this week’s poem.

The event page looks pretty full up this week. 🙂

This week’s puzzle is another crossword. Click here to see the answers.

In other news: Your rare flower pot should be fully grown by now. I updated the Rare Flower Pot Journal too, in case you’re not a member or just don’t have one. Ckick here to go to it. I also forgot to mention that I updated it last week as well. Oops. 😳

That’s all for now, I’ll keep you updated! 😉

New Pin + Stage Repeat

The new pin was released today. It’s a goblet, & can be found in the Coffee Shop. You have to put your mouse over it to make it fall to the ground so you can pick it up.

“The Twelfth Fish” has returned to the Stage today too. Nothing different, apart from a new background in the costume trunk. The script is the same, the special effects are the same, even the dead squid on the beach is the same! (Seriously, it’s starting to stink.)

In other news: The Penguin Poll has been updated. CP added a ‘I didn’t write a story’ option. The poll was reset, so you’ll have to vote again.

Also, look at this picture I found on Google:

So maybe CP are making a DS game… too bad it’s not for the PS2. 😦

Don’t forget to read the new newspaper post below this too!

That’s all for now, I’ll keep you updated. 😉
