The Marvel Super Hero Takeover is On Now! - 27/4/2013

New post from the CP blog... they're actually a day late... it started yesterday!


The Marvel Super Hero Takeover is On Now!

Greetings, Heroes!

The moment has finally arrived! It's time for the Marvel Super Hero Takeover on Club Penguin! We've already seen tons of Super Heroes and Super Villains battling it out around the island. We love seeing all the epic creativity out there...

Check out this video from our friends at Disney Channel and Disney XD:

(Blue: see it at http://www.clubpenguin.com/blog/2013/04/marvel-super-hero-takeover-now)
 


So now that you've had a chance to experience all the new costumes and areas at this year's Marvel Super Hero Takeover... what do you think? What's your favorite thing about the party so far? Share your thoughts by leaving a comment below.

Until then... Waddle On!
-Club Penguin Team


Aren't they discriminating a bit? They said "Greetings, Heroes!" not "Greetings, Heroes and Villains!". Oh well.
I haven't checked out the video (well I have, but I don't have volume and I'm not a great lip reader yet) so I have no idea what the person on it is actually saying. But it shows what you can do in this party quite well.

Superheroes Have Arrived... Finally! - 26/4/2013

At last... the superhero party is here. When you log in, you get to choose between whether you're a superhero or villain, do minigames to help your side, and other stuff. Of course, the party is mainly aimed at members (typical!) but there are some really awesome new clothes. Just click the leaflet in the bottom corner of the screen when you're in a place which doesn't have a leaflet of its own (for example, don't go to the Cove or the Dock for this) and you'll get access to a catalog of superhero stuff.

It's filled with member items mainly, but you will find some actually quite nice items for everyone. I've got some police aviators and a cat burglar jumper. They are SO COOL! Look, I'm using caps! Quite honestly, I think I look like a member in my outfit. Although, if you go on one of the more popular servers then everyone will be wearing the same thing, which would subsequently change your opinion. So my tip is to go on really quiet servers (if you're a hermit like me) until the cool stuff becomes old and rare.

I'm so happy.

See you soon for more updates!

Two Posts on the CP Blog... But No Superheroes - 25/4/2013

As soon as I went to CP and tried to log on, it had that annoying "BRB... we're busy updating things behind the scenes" login screen (the last one was only a few days ago. They're not unusual to get when I go on the computer). So I'm guessing it means that the superheroes are coming. On a high note, at least that means I'll be one of the first to see the new CP. At least that means you can rest assured that the info you get is right on time.

Well, that's if they update things quickly enough.

So whilst they're doing that, I'll paste the last two CP blog articles on here (they're being busy today!) and tell you about my new Kindle Fire HD.

It's cool. That's basically all I can say. It's really, really cool. Unfortunately it only had 5% of its battery left, so right now I'm leaving it to charge.

Okay, well, here are the CP blog posts for you (in order from oldest to newest):


Penguin of the Day: Thruthenite

Hello Penguins! 

Polo Field here... with another Penguin of the Day! Hope everyone had a great Earth Day. Did you do anything special for the environment on Earth Day? 

A member of the Club Penguin Team told me about someone that's been doing a lot to help the environment in their local community. This penguin has raised money to help endangered animals, and helped raise awareness for autistic children... Congratulations, Thruthenite! I've added 5000 coins to your account for being our Penguin of the Day.

Thanks for being helpful and caring in your community. I love your epic superhero costume...



We love hearing about helpful penguins like Thruthenite. If you want to nominate someone who you think deserves to be Penguin of the Day, let us know more about them! Contact us here: http://www.clubpenguin.com/help/contact

Until next time... Waddle On!
-Club Penguin Team



BE WARNED!!! THE NEXT POST IS REALLY QUITE EXCITING!!!


Special Update from Spike Hike

Hello Penguins!

I've had a secret that I've wanted to share this everyone for almost a year... Today I can finally share it with you!

Some of you may have seen me show up occasionally in the Friends list from a place called "My Penguin." A few of you guessed that it may be a secret Club Penguin app on mobile... You were right!!! 

I'm excited to tell you that our new iPad app is coming soon!



The first version of "My Penguin" will let you play some of your favorite mini-games, shop from the catalog, and change your Penguin's outfit . The app is totally connected to Club Penguin, so your Penguin, clothing and coins will be shared whether on mobile or the web.

That's just the beginning, too… We'll be updating the app regularly and bringing more of the Club Penguin world to the app throughout the year!! Stay tuned to the blog for more news and updates on "My Penguin"!

Until then... Waddle On!
-Club Penguin Team



You know what... I could get this app on my new Kindle Fire HD! Well, that is if I can get it on it. It did say 'iPad app' not 'Kindle Fire app'. I hope I can, anyway.

So... today is really fun day for me! Maybe CP will update fast enough for me to get you some snaps of the new party!

Daffodaily5's Featured Fashion - 23/4/2013

There's a new post on the official CP blog... it mentions superheroes...

Daffodaily5's Featured Fashion: April 22nd!


Hiya! ...And good morning.
 
*FEATURED FASHIONS NEWS ALERT*
 
Welcome to Daffodaily's News Corner. Coming up on today's program: Reports of 'superhero' sightings around the Island are increasing, sales of capes are going through the roof, and many penguins have reported anonymous heroic deeds taking place. CP photographers have managed to get some exclusive snaps:
 
0vicky- Some sort of super hero dog was spotted marshalling civilians through the Town with a megaphone. Could being cute and cuddly be her super power? WOOF!
 
                              
 
Emperor Pegi is showing some ace colour-coordinating powers! I wonder if his laser beam shines to outer space? Because his style is out of this world!
 
                             
 
This hero is certainly not stealthy with that epic rainbow afro, but I wonder just what kind of powers Houdini2 has? Red neckerchief- this season's must have hero accessory ;)
 
                             
 
We've heard reports that Pingwan2004 has been on a ghost hunt around the Island, saving penguins and swinging from room to room with that amazing grappling hook.
 
                             
 
I need your help giving these penguins amazing-brill superhero names! Comment below with your superhero name suggestions, and the winner will get 1000 coins. Thanks for tuning in to Daffo's News Corner, and until next time- byeee!
 
Waddle on!
 
- Club Penguin Team


So what I'm really interested in that post is the mention of superheroes... and the outfits are cool. To go all writing-maniac on you, Daffodaily5 has an intriguing, endearing blogging style, appropriate to her audience.

...

Now, to other news! Since I'm extremely lazy and terrified of yet another hopeless interview, there's not much else today. So go on Club Penguin and... do something! Crazy! Be a waiter/waitress. Run around the Stadium shouting "For Narnia!" and waving your imaginary sword.

Hmm. Swords make me think of the superhero party again. Doesn't Sif have a sword?

On that note, Sif's going to star in my very own short story based around the superhero party. I've already done about 1 1/2 pages, and I'm hoping to get it done before the party starts... oh my gosh! Tomorrow!

Okay, I should probably get writing, since I thought I had at least a few more days.

Wish me luck!

New CP Blog Posts - 21/4/2013

Look how many blog posts I've missed! Lol.

(In order from oldest to newest. From www.clubpenguin.com/blog)


Reviewed By You: Herbert's Master Plan - Polo Field 18/4/2013

Hey Penguins,
 
Last week we asked what you think is the most awesome, epic super power in the entire universe. Wow! Did you ever have some amazing ideas!! Check out what indigofire14 wrote:
 
I think the most awesome, epic super power in the entire universe is invisibility. No sense can be more fooled than sight! Also, when you're fighting supervillains, the element of surprise is on your side. They'll never see you coming. Ninja power! (smile)
 
Invisibility would DEFINITELY be useful for taking down Super Villains. Well put, indigofire14!
 

 
Now we have a question for the agents out there. ALL NON-AGENTS STOP READING. NOTHING TO SEE HERE!
 
What is Herbert up to?! Tell us why you think Herbert stole the hot sauce, and what you think he's planning next. We'll pick one of our favorite comments and feature it on the blog next week. If yours is chosen, we'll add 10,000 coins to your penguin account.
 
Thanks to all the amazing elite agents who solved the mission!
 
Waddle On!

Which Mascot will visit? Just like last year, Aunt Arctic will be there on the ground to cover the clash between good and evil! Stay tuned to the blog for dates and times. 
 
What will non-members be allowed to do? Non-members can join a side to protect or destroy Penguintropolis! And everyone can play the new super hero and super villain games! Flippertastic!
 
Thanks for sending in all your questions! Here's a question for all you Tour Guide Troopers… What are you most excited to experience at the Marvel Superhero Takeover?
 
Best fishes!

Apart from that... sorry about not posting the interview battle. Trust me, it's really cool. I'll try to post that tomorrow.

Until then, keep waddling my fellow penguin friends (and breathing. That's quite helpful too)

Sorry. No interviews today. I'm really busy with my writing.

Hopeless Interviews - 16th of April 2013

Since this is, effectively, a news site, I've decided to do an article on the latest CP blog article. It has some really cool sneak peeks of the park (is there a park now? There wasn't a park back in the 14th century...), the Plaza and somewhere with a cool view.

That place with a cool view sports some awesome puffle art and... drumroll please... a spotlighted rock. Isn't that fabulous? I have to say, I'm not too keen on the interior decoration in the mystery DJ room.

However, in the Plaza, you have got to check out the awesome door handles. Oh, and the mystery crystals. I wonder what they're for. But the doors are a highlight for me.

Here are those pictures from the official CP blog (www.clubpenguin.bom/blog, check it out):

Update: I saw on a comment that the first picture was of the forest... not a new park that has sprung up or anything. The second is of the Plaza and the third is on the roof. The roof or a roof? Is there a specific roof called the roof?

So, what do you think? Well, you can leave me a comment about that later, because first I'm going to do some interviews on the server... why not Ice Berg? Ok. I clicked Ice Berg. Lets do this. Hopefully this interview will be successful...

At the Stage...

Me: What do you think about the upcoming party?

Abrupt: Of course. Who else could save the day?

Me: Does anyone have views on the upcoming party?

Abrupt: BLARGH! YOU CAN'T STOP US!

Me: Anyone have views on the upcoming party? I'm a reporter.

-Silence-

Christmas: GRAWL! HUNGRY!

Me: Does anyone have views on the upcoming party?

-Christmas does an angry emote, walks to me, disappears-
Me: Sighs. Oh well.

-I leave to have a mope in my igloo before going off to the Cove-

Me: Does anyone have views on the upcoming party?

Kesha: HI KESHA! THX ANYWAY!

My thoughts: Ooookay.

Kesha: Sweet im going to youre igloo

-I wince at the incorrect spelling of your-

Kesha: to youre iggy ok

Nano: Wanna be friends

-I start to have a panic attack-

Nano: Hello

-I run away to my igloo again-

Me: Gosh. Is it possible to have a normal conversation?

My Invisible Friend: Apparently not.


With my total absence of success, I decided to give up and let Misty take over with the interviewing.


Welcome to the Misty Takeover!!!

At the Plaza...

Misty: What are everyones views about the upcoming party?

random penguin: please

Misty: I am a reporter for a blog

Sing: *:-| face*

Noor: *:( face*

Misty: So your not going to answer?

Misty: Okay.

-Misty walks out to the plaza.-


Back to Reporter BlueSince Misty didn't get far with Sing, I decided to go and see if they would talk to me:


Me: I'm a reporter for a blog. Can I ask you a few questions?

Sing: Fire away

Me: What do you think about the upcoming party?

-Silence-

Me: Have you heard about the upcoming party? About superheroes? What is your view on it?

Sing: Well. It's a good party that cp make their own parties

Me: Will you buy a superhero costume?

Sing: I'm not a member

-I had to look at the chat log to get the last response since someone talked over Sing, and I accidentally clicked the door of the pet shop and went to the Plaza! I rushed back, hoping that Sing didn't think I left because s/he was a non-

Sing: where did he go?

My thoughts: I'm not a he!

Me: sorry about that

Sing: since I'm not a member

Me: yeah you can't buy a superhero costume. I was a member on another penguin. It's not worth it.

Sing: hmm

Me: Thanks for your answers

Sing: Anytime!


I was so so so so so embarrassed by the end of that. And triumphant that the mute Sing had actually talked to me! Blue - 1, Misty - 0!

Until tomorrow... there's going to be a surprise tomorrow.

First Entry - 15th April 2013

If you're one of those people that, like me, read the first entries of now-famous blogs, I bet you'll be the only ones here. But that's only if A Typical Day in Club Penguin ever becomes famous, which I doubt. Most of my projects end up as total failures. Hopefully, however, people in the future will be reading this and thinking "Seriously, guys, you have no idea about the success of this site?"

So, hopefully this will be the lucky blog that works. Well, Bamboo wasn't too bad. This I'm hoping to be BIG, though.

Anyway, you probably don't want to be bored to death with my rambling, so I'll give you quick intros of who we are.

Blue: A telephonobic bibiophile who has large and probably stupid ideas of what Typical Day will end up like. Reporter and code-cracker (although my ciphering skills will most likely never be needed).

Misty: A really nice panda (wait, penguin) who only signed up for the graphic designing but I'm hoping for her to go on some interview hunts with me. Sorry, Misty!

Since this is not only an intro, but the first post, I decided to go and do some of what my job states - reporting.

As I logged into some strange server which I'd never heard of before, everything was super-laggy. Even when I pressed the = nothing much changed.

I looked around the plaza and noticed heaps of changes. Well, of course, the last time I logged on must've been in the 14th century or sometime about there. I noticed a new Puffle Hotel.... OOH!

Sorry. I have to interrupt this boring account. I saw a penguin who cannot be named (privacy stuff) who has just said, "Hello agents". Yes, I'm in the EPF HQ. I think she/he is an agency leader. Exciting!

A random dude is saying add me. Obviously not much has changed since the 1300s.

There's a dude sitting in a seat saying "I'm rich." Or maybe not with my great grammar. It was actually "am rich." But that's boring.

Now someone else has said, "Hello agents" and the first one has disappeared... after the second "Hello agents" person left. Weird! Is it like a codeword for "come to my igloo?". Or do you get a prize? A pin? Or are pins so last three century's ago?

I don't know. But one thing is for sure, I'm going to do the same thing. Even if it makes me look like a total twit.

Later: Nothing happened. Which I expected.

I was mumbling about how everyone was called Blue when a penguin called Blue sat in a chair and said, "Agents".

"For a special mission..."

"lol"

Ok. Maybe this isn't serious. Maybe I'm just a news freak and jump on every opportunity for gossip.

Oh, look, "I'm rich" dude is back. Or maybe it's not him. Everyone looks so similar these days. But back in my day, in the 14th century, everything was more unique on CP.

Ooh! Second Blue is saying "Look at this mess. Whoever did this will pay." She/he's looking at the great big elevator hole. Personally, I think it's great how the lovely background behind the elevator is showing. It looks futuristic retro. Which doesn't make sense. Well, the blue and white make it look futuristic but the pattern is retro.

Whoa! Some elite dude asked to be the friend of a young non-member penguin wearing nothing called Bluethepanda. That does not make sense! Maybe he just saw my awesome commentary about Blue being a popular name.

In fact, since Blue is so popular, I'm going to change my name. To Panda? Or The? Or....?

Okay. To the imaginary people reading this, please give me suggestions of what my new nickname can be. Actually, I know nobody will read this, so I'll ask Misty to decide for me.

But if there are people reading this, can you please give me membership so I can have one of those strange green rings around me? Everyone has them these days and I want to disrupt peoples viewing since they're disrupting mine.

Actually, it's a great interview opportunity to ask people what they think of the green circles. I'll talk to someone.

The perfect someone came! But when I told them their name was the name of a gorilla in my DS game, they walked away for some reason. Hey! It's not an insult or anything! That gorilla is one of my best friends!

Interview time:
PS: 'NP' stands for 'New Person'.

Me: What do people feel about the green circles?
NP Pink: I don't know
NP Weird person: Yes
Weird person: Yes
Pink: Yes what?
Me: Does anyone have views on the green circles?
Weird person: Goodbye. Yes.
Me: Does anyone have views on the green circles?
Weird person: Yes
-Pink leaves-
-I get snowball splattered by someone-
NP 2006: snowball fight
Weird person: Ok. Yes.
-Weird person gets snowballed-
Me: What are peoples views on the green circles?
2006: Don't know
-I get snowballed again-
2006: snow ball
My thoughts: Yes, congrats, that's a snowball.
NP Troy: ARE TERRIBLE
-Troy hides in a dark corner-
My thoughts: The green circles? Are terrible?
NP Stinks: so
2006: Goodbye
Me: What are peoples views on the green circles?
2006 - do not know
Stinks: hi
NP Princess: GUYS
NP Fire: am I'm new here
Princess: We need the sauce back
Fire: a a am im NEW HERE
Stinks: so
Me: What are peoples views? I'm a blog reporter.
NP Jade: lol what
Jade: oh
Me: Does anyone like or not like the green circles?
-Only Fire left-
NP Zodiac: You are a good friend!
NP Batman: Hi. Greetings. Greetings everyone
-I get another friend request-
Me: What are everyone's views? I'm a reporter
Batman: Want to play a game? Hide and Seek.
Troy: well my view on the green circles are
Batman: Ready or not here I come. I found you!
Me: What are your views on the green circles?
NP Dug: heyy guys
Fire: WHAT GREEN CIRCLE
Me: The ones membership agents have
-Fire leaves. Troy never replies-
Me: Oh well. Bye then
-I leave-

That interview was a total failure. Either I'm terrible at interviewing or everyone else is terrible at answering questions.

I'm tired. This is enough for one day. Bye, and remember to give me suggestions for a nickname.

-Blue... or my new nickname
