Item of the Week: Bamboo Torch

Posted by: || Tags: 0 |

Hi Penguins!

Welcome to this week's edition of Item of the Week! In case you have missed an Item of the Week post, please feel free to check ALL of them out here. If you have never heard of Item of the Week, it is a series here on the blog where every week I pick a random furniture item and give YOU a little bit more information on it.

Although the Prehistoric Party is coming to a close, I still wanted to have a bit more themed item this week.

Without further delay, here is this week's featured item!


The Bamboo Torch!

The Bamboo Torch is an item on Club Penguin that costed 200 coins, purchasable in the Furniture Catalog.

The Bamboo Torch was available a total of 5 times:

June 16, 2006 - November 17, 2006

June 15, 2007 - January 18, 2008

June 19, 2009 - September 18, 2009

June 18, 2010 - September 24, 2010

January 19, 2012 - May 10, 2012

---------

I own two of the Bamboo Torches and absolutely love them! Currently, they act as an entryway in my igloo.

I hope you enjoyed this week's edition of Item of the Week! I will be sure to let you know if this item ever becomes available again.

Now I turn it over to YOU...

Do you own the Bamboo Torch? If you don't would you like one for your igloo?

You may have noticed that it mentioned a "Fun Hut" in one of the images... well here's a concept image of it for you:
You can also see this in the image Spike Hike shared last month!

Club Penguin Discussion: New Merchandise?

Posted by: || Tags: 0 |



Hi Penguins!

Recently, I ran a poll on my Twitter about when Project Super Secret will be released. Here are the results:



Most of you said next month, which is pretty exciting! I personally think in a few months, but the sooner the better!

With the release of Project Super Secret, something that Club Penguin has been building up for years, hopefully in return more players will be joining the island. When I first joined in 2008, I remember vividly going to the mall and buying whatever new piece of Club Penguin merchandise was available. Sadly, those days are gone and merchandise is only available through third party sites like Ebay, Amazon, and many others.

The vision, which cofounders Lance Priebe and Lane Merrifield have made clear from the beginning, was that Club Penguin is supposed to be a safe environment for kids. Club Penguin has no affiliation with any of the third party retailers listed above, so how do they know that the seller is actually selling true content, not some cheap knockoff or worse, something completely irrelevant. Some sites do offer protection rules for selling products, but that can only go so far.

As I was saying before, Project Super Secret is presumed to be "bigger than Club Penguin," as Spike Hike stated in an interview. With (again, hopefully) bountiful amounts of players pouring into the "new" and "modernized" Club Penguin, surely Disney will give some recognition with membership sales going through the roof based on the prior years. With that being said, merchandise is another HUGE moneymaking opportunity for Disney and hopefully we will see atlas something being produced.



A few months back, penguins on Twitter started discussing Club Penguin being partnered with  Funko, a popular action figure brand. Disney has already been partnered with them for some time now, and if Club Penguin was doing well, hey, why not?

A larger brand, LEGO, has also been discussed by the penguins of being partnered with Club Penguin. As I said above, if project Super Secret goes well and some new penguin faces show up, why not? Money for both LEGO and Disney. Imagine that, walking into a toy store and being greeted with Club Penguin LEGOS and Action Figures. Club Penguin could once again become a household name.

Along with these partnerships, as well as many others I would love to see, the Club Penguin Plushies, they have always been a huge hit. The feeling of walking into the Disney store at the mall and buying a new Penguin or puffle plush felt great. A few months ago, I was in the store Goodwill, a consignment-like store, and went all the way to the back shelf and saw various sorts these plushies stuffed inside a plastic bag going for a buck. I was crushed seeing something that was so big when I was younger, resort to something so small.

I just hope Project Super Secret is a success, not only for a modernized Club Penguin with new players, but for a revival of the merchandise, something that played a big part in my childhood.

Now I turn it over to YOU...

Do you think Project Super Secret will be a success. If so, would YOU like to see new merchandise?

Penguins Helping Penguins

Posted by: || Tags: 0 |
Hi Penguins!
 
It’s so exciting to be able to share with you details about each project we’re supporting with Coins For Change! This next one should be near and dear to everyone’s hearts – it’s helping endangered penguins around the world with Global Penguin Society.  January 20th was Global Penguin Awareness Day - no better time than to tell you about penguins we are helping!
 
Did you know that penguins don’t live just in Antarctica?  All 17 types of penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere except the Galápagos Penguin.  Penguin species are found along the coastlines of Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Peru, South Africa and many islands everywhere in between!   I had a chance to visit our penguin friends in Argentina.  There I met Pablo Garcia Borboroglu a conservationist working hard to help penguins. Reasons some penguin species are endangered is climate change, pollution and loss of nesting grounds where penguins have their babies.  
 
Check out these baby Magellanic penguins with their parent in Punta Tombo, Argentina:
 
 
And here's Pablo teaching kids how to help protect penguin’s in Argentina:
 
 
It’s amazing what one person can do to make a difference!  We all can do our part to help protect our environment - doing so will help penguins, other animals and us!  What will you pledge to do to help the environment where you live this year?
 
Waddle on!

Club Penguin: How to Become a Ninja

Posted by: || Tags: 0 |

Hello penguins, or should I say, soon to be ninjas!

You may have heard myths on Club Penguin about a Dojo high up in the mountains. Well, those myths are actually true! To go to the Dojo, click on your map in the bottom left corner of your screen.


Now, click on the building that is circled above. It will take you to the Dojo courtyard!


I wonder how long those puffles have been asleep? 

Now this is the point where you will make one of the most important decisions in your penguin life. Do you want to become a ninja? If you REALLY do, enter through the doors behind you. If not, don't worry! There is plenty of time where you can come back to the Dojo and begin your training.



Welcome to the Dojo! Here you will begin your training in becoming an expert ninja.  Before you jump right into a match of Card Jitsu, you should probably know the rules. Let's get started!

How to Play Card Jitsu

The first thing you will need to know in order to become a ninja are the elements. These elements are Fire, Water, and Snow. One way I like to think of Card Jitsu is like a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Fire melts snow, snow freezes water, and water puts out fire.

Say you and your opponent both throw a fire card. Pay attention to the number on the card. Whoever has the card with the highest number (if you and your opponent both played the same element) would win that round.

To win a game of Card Jitsu, you will need to win at least three rounds AND have one card of each element all in a DIFFERENT color. You could also have three cards of the same element but all different colors.

(Example: I could win Card Jitsu if I had a Yellow Fire Card, a Blue Snow Card, and a Red Water Card. I could also win by having one Red fire Card, one Blue Fire Card, and  one Yellow Fire Card.)

Make sure to use logic when playing Card Jitsu. Say your opponent has one Green Fire Card and one Yellow Water Card, they will need one snow card (of a different color) to win. Since you know that fire melts snow, play a fire card. You are more likely to win this way.

Now that you have learned how to play Card Jitsu, let's jump into a match!

There are two ways that you can go in to a match. 


The first way to play is to talk to Sensei in the center of the room. To talk to him waddle on up to him. He will greet you with this interface. 


Click "Earn your belts," to jump into a match.

The second way you could jump into a match is by waddling over to one of the blue mats on the floor.


When a player waddles on over to your match you will enter a game of Card Jitsu.

Here is what the game looks like when you are playing:


If you are a little bit confused by this interface, I made a little graphic to show everything that is included.


You are on the right side while your opponent is on the left. The cards that are turned face side up, are yours. To play one simply click the card you want. The circle in the middle shows how much time you have left to play your card. In this case, I will have 20 seconds.

If you win a game, there will be a popup like this:


After many games of playing Card Jitsu, you will finally earn your Black Belt.


Once you have earned your Black Belt, waddle on over to Sensei.


Click, "Challenge Sensei." You will now enter a match of card Jitsu with Sensei, if you win this match you will have earned your ninja mask! 



Yay!

Congratulations you have now become a ninja! Now you can waddle around Club Penguin in your awesome ninja gear!

If you are feeling like spending some coins to be even MORE ninja like, click the catalog in the bottom right corner!




I highly recommend buying power cards. They can really help you win a few games of Card Jitsu!

There are many more pages in the catalog that offer you ninja suits, accessories, and even a Dojo of yourself!

I hope you enjoyed learning about how to become a ninja on Club Penguin!

If you did enjoy, please be sure to comment down below:

What belt are you in Card Jitsu?

The Party That's Millions of Years in the Making

Posted by: || Tags: 0 |
Hi Penguins!
 
Imagine this:
 
You're an alien hanging out on your spaceship minding your own business. Now and then you beam someone up, say hi, and give them a hat.
 
Then one day a big, stinky, hairy polar bear visits and steals your spaceship's power source.
 
UGH, don't you HATE IT when that happens?
 
Good news for those aliens, though... Gary's found a power source for the alien's UFO that can replace what Herbert stole. It existed millions of years ago!
 
Are you ready to travel back in time and collect power fragments so we can help those alien puffles get back home?
 
If you haven't adopted an alien puffle yet, you might want to. It looks like they'll be blasting off soon!
 
Waddle on, 
 
-Club Penguin Team

Item of the Week: Grandfather Clock

Posted by: || Tags: 0 |

Hey Penguins!

It's that time of the week again... Item of the Week! In case you haven't heard of Item of the Week, it is a weekly series here on the blog where I pick an item in Club Penguin and give you a little bit of information on it!

If you have ever missed an Item of the Week post make sure to check them all out HERE!

Without further delay, here is this week's featured item!


The Grandfather Clock!

The Grandfather Clock is considered a rare item in Club Penguin because it has not been available for over 4 years! This was one of Club Penguin's first furniture items to actually tell the correct time! This item was first available in the Better Igloos catalog from May 19, 2006, to May 23, 2008! It became available one last time on November 11, 2010, until March 10, 2011!

It's too bad I don't own this item; I think it looks awesome!

Do you like the Grandfather Clock?
