Marvel's Superhero Takeover 2012!

Hello everyone! As you might know already, the Marvel Superhero Takeover party is now on at Club Penguin since last Thursday. I'm sorry for the delay of this post; I was quite busy these days and I couldn't post anything. Well, in this post I am going to talk about the theme this party has, some of its details and I will give you more information, of course. This party has a special theme; for the first time in Club Penguin history penguins are classified in 3 groups: Heroes, Villains and Citizens. Those who are Heroes are surrounded by a yellow ring, villains are surrounded by a black ring, and citizens by a blue ring ( that no one but the owner can see ) This party was made with the Idea to make Club Penguin look as a city; that can be devastated by Villains or saved by Heroes. Also, for the first time ever, members are able to buy Marvel Character's Costumes at the Gift Shop, such like Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Venom, Loki, and more. In this event, only 9 rooms has been changed ( some in the Town, Snow Forts and Plaza ) and there are 3 new rooms. In total, there are 12 rooms for this party. Quite a small amount, don't you think? I mean, normal parties are decorated with 19 rooms ( aproximately ) Let's continue:

In this "party", the main feature is that Heroes fight with Villains in order to protect Citizens. Besides the Marvel Costumes, Club Penguin made some special items that members can use: the Recharged Gloves. There are 3 different kinds of gloves, the ones who freeze ( blue ones ) the ones who make things explode ( the yellow one ) and the ones who cover things with a weird sustance ( the purple ones ) These gloves only make effect in things that have yellow and black stripes on them. The point is that Villains can use these gloves to make destruction and chaos. But, what can Heroes do? Nothing, we just try to catch them and put them in jail :/ Though Heroes can also use these gloves, there's no point because we are supposed to save the Island, not to destroy it just for fun. Let's continue: I'm sure you have heard about the Superhero HQ and the Villain Lair, right? They are some special rooms for Member - only penguins, and they have some secret entrances. The Superhero HQ is located above Club Penguin Island, while the SuperVillain Lair is located Underground. In there, we can easily recognize a machine that apperared in a Marvel's Movie, Spiderman 2.

And guess what? Like almost CP Parties, we have to defeat a Special Boss. This time, we have to defeat Destructobot in order to save the Island ( for Heroes ), or help it to destroy everything ( for Villains ). To challenge Destructobot, you have to go to the Snow Forts. There, you will see a large building in flames. You can help the Firefighters to turn down the fire, or you can battle there with the Recharged Gloves. But if you want to go directly with Destructobot, enter the building ( member - only ) There, you will see many boxes, barrels and more striped items. In front of you, you will be able to see a Countdown Clock that says "Next Attack" That means that when the countdown reaches 0, Destructobot will appear right there, and another Countdown will appear at the left - up side of the screen. This countdown will show how many time Destructobot will be there. Here are the Instructions about how to defeat it:

[ Heroes ]
In order to defeat Destructobot, you will have to be accompanied by many other Heroes. You will have to throw Snowballs ( using Special Gloves or not ) at the Targets that will appear. But stay sharp; the targets will dissappear and they will be relocated somwhere else. If you keep throwing Snowballs, Destructobot's Health Meter will decrease and start changing color; until the point it ends and you win. Congratulations, you just saved the Island this time! But Destructobot will be rebuilt, and the Countdown will start again, preparing you for another attack.

[ Villains ]
In order to battle Heroes and destroy the Island, you only have to follow one simple step: Throw snowballs at the green bucket that is located at the Right side of Destructobot. This will help Destructobot's Health Meter, increasing it. So when Heroes start to throw Snowballs at the Targets, you have Two Options: Throw Snowballs at the Green Bucket, or throw recharged Snowballs ( with any of the Recharged Gloves ) at the striped things that are located in the roofs; this will confuse Heroes. You win if, when the Countdown ends, Destructobot hasn't been destroyed already.

Here is a list of the rooms I recommend you to visit the most:

- Town
- Gift Shop
- Plaza
- Snow Forts
- Book Room
- Superhero HQ
- Villain Lair
- Pizza Parlor

 PERSONAL OPINION

Before ending this post; I would like to say a personal opinion about all this. I know that almost everyone where excited about this party ( including me ) because it involved Marvel, a very well - know company. But I thought this party was going to be more awesome, I mean; because the only interesting thing we can do is destroy things, "stop" villains and put them in jail; when they can just escape with no effort. But I'm sure that, if we are with several friends, this party would be better. I have to admit that I like the costumes, but I don't like what they mean. You know why? It means promotion. The entire party was made just to advertise Marvel, and I don't like that. And if you didn't knew, this party won't end until next month! So I thought that, if this party will be at Club Penguin for so long, at least the CP Team would have added more decorated rooms or more special features. Also, this party brings war in Club Penguin, thing that didn't happened before. There are rumors that Disney is planning to advertise more and more of their companies in Club Penguin in the future. For example, they just announced that they will promote "Shake it Up" ( a Disney Channel program ) in this year's Music Jam!

PLEASE Disney, stop your advertising plans in Club Penguin! We don't like them at all! I even wanted for a moment not to renew my Membership, because I won't pay for a website that promotes things. And if do, I will only do so just to continue bringing information to you in this blog. So please, Disney, if you are not going to listen our complains, at least make the Parties better. All this is taking Club Penguin its unique and amateur environment, and turning it into something different but bad. But if you like these things, its ok. I am just expressing my opinions; so if you don't agree with me, there is no problem. I hope that, besides all this promotion, Club Penguin will continue improving in other features of the Island. Thanks for reading and see you later in Club Penguin Island! :D

+ Information: MARVEL's Superhero Takeover!

NOTE: The video that is located in this post will play immediatly when you enter this page. Sorry about that.

Hello everyone! I'm quite sure that you already know about Club Penguin's upcoming party, Marvel's Superhero Takeover. In this post I will talk about its benefits and some of its negative sides; plus I will bring you some sneak peeks of the party. To start, I think everyone have already seen a MARVEL movie. If you didn't knew, MARVEL is a company that makes Superheroes based in comics ( those comics where made some decades ago by the same company ) They make Action figures, comics, movies and more products. Also, if you didn't knew, Marvel was bought by Disney several months ago, which should explain why Club Penguin ( bought by Disney too since 2009 ) is making a party about this. This is the first time Club Penguin makes an entire party to promote something; in this case they are advertising Marvel and its products. Well, according to the Newspaper, this party will start in June 14, which is next Thursday. In this party, we will be able to choose a side: good or evil. If we choose good ( which I hope almost everyone will ) we can dress up of our favorite Marvel Superheroes, such as Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow and Hulk. If we choose evil ( which I hope not ) we would be able to dress up as Marvel's Super Villains, like Loki, Venom, and more. Also, Club Penguin made a special web page of this party. To visit it, click here. ( Update: Club Penguin hasn't fixed a bug that doesn't lets you enter to this page, I'm sorry ) In that page you will be able to see each of the Superheroes and Supervillain's costumes that will be available during the party. There is also a special video. Here it is in case you haven't seen it already:

Well, I have to admit that this video can be quite disturbing for some kids. And did you hear what the voice said at the end? "Parent permission required" This means that CP is not quite safe for little kids anymore, because this party could be quite violent. If you didn't knew, the reason of all this is because of a Meteor that landed in the Dock. Yes, the same pink - purple meteor we could see through the Telescope of the Lighthouse during the Medieval Party. But, why is this Meteor so important? Well, according to an EPF Message, it restored Probot's energy, and it seems it will try to destroy Club Penguin in the party... or I mean war? :/ Nowadays, another feature of this upcoming event is that Club Penguin will be completely transformed into a "real life city" just like the ones in the Movies. We will be able to dress up like a Hero, a Supervillain, or a Citizen ( normal people, police and criminals ) But please listen to me when I say that being bad is NOT good. So if you are going to choose the evil side during the party, please make sure you won't choose the same thing when you grow up. But besides all the promotion, fight and other things, it seems that this party will be awesome, specially for MARVEL fans. As said in the video, penguins will need to have Membership to access some special features of the party, such as buying the characters costumes and fighting the Giant robot. Oh, I didn't told you that? Probot has made a giant robot and it will use it to destroy Club Penguin with help of the Supervillains ( that's when Heroes show up )

Up here is a picture of all the Marvel Superhero and Supervillain costumes that will be available in the Party. If you noticed, I classified the costumes according to its side: Heroes are in the left side, villains are in the right side. And fortunately, there are plenty more heroes than villains. Its good to see that Club Penguin hopes that most of the kids will choose to be good instead of bad! Here are some facts of the party that you should know: 

• Probot has been trying to gather Supervillains in order to help it destroy the Island, but... this means that Herbert P. Bear will be also in the Party?
• Black Widow and Ms. Marvel are the only Women characters. 
• It's supposed that Heroes and Villains will have special abilites during the party, so maybe they can change the environment of the room they're in.
• Sadly, this is the first promotion in Club Penguin History.
• If there's a special prize for saving the Island, only heroes would receive it.

Before ending this post, I would like to say something. For the people that are new at Club Penguin, this party and all these stuff would seem really awesome to them; but for the people that have been playing in CP for a long time ( like me, I started playing CP in 2009 ) this would seem quite cool, but strange. Club Penguin has been changing a lot since this year, and, in my opinion, Club Penguin is losing its peaceful, friendly and amateur environment. The parties are great, I admit it, but I kinda miss the old CP. Besides, if CP starts promoting other things ( like Disney's TV programs, movies, products and more ) I would feel really bad... Disney, please don't continue advertising your products in Club Penguin; you have plenty of more places where to do that. I only hope this party is not too violent, and that we will realy enjoy this party. Who are you going to suit up as? Are you going to be a Superhero or a Supervillain? Send your opinion in a comment! Thanks for reading and see you later in Club Penguin Island! :D

Medieval Party 2012 Walkthrough!

Hello everyone! Guess what? Yesterday, Club Penguin launched the Medieval Party 2012! Yeah! It's finally here, and now we are able to explore brand - new rooms all around the Island. As I said on a post before, the Medieval Party has a fourth challenge. But it isn't a Medieval Quest: it's located at a dark mountain- it's Scorn, the Dragon King! Members can now defeat Scorn, a very ancient dragon that lives nearby the Ski Hill. But there are really many other features in this party: we will talk about all of them in this post. To begin, I would like to say something really important: during this party, Gary the Gadget Guy will be visiting the Island, so keep an eye on the servers! You can get he's new Background for free once you meet him. Also, there is a new item in the special Market Catalog: the Thunder Sword! if you are a member, you can collect 3 items in order to enter Scorn's Mountain. Once you are in there, you will battle with the Dragon King, Scorn. If you win, a secret room will be revealed and you will receive some coins as reward. If you need more help doing this, here my the entire Walkthrough for completing this challenge:

3 Items - 2 Warriors - 1 Land
Medieval Quest 

This challenge is quite difficult for those who are new at Club Penguin and for those who haven't completed any of the 3 Medieval Quests that are located underground. To begin, click in the paper roll that is located at the right - up side of your screen. There you will see 3 blank spaces and a medieval - style map of Club Penguin. Now, you will have to recollect 3 items: the Fairy Branch, Spheres of Starlight, and Cursed Stones. You will find all of these items in 3 different places of the Island: The Dock, the Beach and the Ski Village. I recommend you to travel through the Island in that order, so it's easier for you to find all 3 items. As you walk, you will notice something: there are Flags everywhere, many of them have Scorn's face on them. This means that you are heading right to its liar. And don't worry, we are heading right there. Once you find all three items, you will ask you: why do we need all these random things? Well, you will discover that further: you will use it to defeat the Dragon King. Also, you will notice that there have been many changes in the rooms than the last year. For example, in the Dock, penguins are smaller ( but if you click on an emoticon, it will appear as its normal size ) In the Beach, there is like a giant laboratory. But there is a place that calls my attention the most: the Ski Village.

Why? Well, maybe because it seems so abandoned. In the Medieval Party legend, it says that the entire Island was conquered by Scorn, the Dragon King, but it seems that the only place devastated was the Ski Village. It is really different from the other rooms, as you can see, and it is kinda mysterious... There are statues of penguins, and curiously, they seem very real and they look like if they are trying to protect theirselves from something. Also, the background seems to be made of crystal, don't you think? Well, here you can find the last item you need to recolect. When you get it, climb the stairs to the Ski Hill. Once you are in the top of it, you can see that there seems to be a pool made of lava! You can get a Free Item there. And when you are ready ( and if you are a member ) you can enter the Brown door  that is located at the right - up side of the screen and prepare to defeat Scorn. First, you will have to pass through a very dangerous bridge ( you can get another free item in here ) and once you pass it, you will fight.

Before, Now, and After 

The Dragon King

Though it seems difficult, it's quite easy to defeat the Dragon King. Your weapon against Scorn is made of the 3 items you already recollected, that throws the cursed rocks ( with the fairy branch ) at the Spheres of Starlight; in order to harm the dragon king. You won't have to click to shoot the rocks, you just need to aim at the Spheres that appear in the Screen. Can you see Scorn's healthy meter at the upper side of it? You can reduce it by destroying the spheres, but you can gain more points by shooting more than 1 sphere at a time. As time passes, more and more spheres will appear, but Scorn will start threating you: it will began to break the cliff you're in. If you don't destroy Scorn soon, it will finish you by breaking all the cliff and you'll fall. That's why you need to destroy the spheres fast. If you win, you will get coins as prize. But that's not everything: the Sky Kingdom will appear and you will be able to visit it. In there, you can find a free item. You will need it to enter the castle ( it's not a different room, you will only clim upstairs to the balcony ) But there is a secret: there are 5 color gems above the balcony, and there are 5 color gems in different parts of the room of the same colors. For each penguin that climbs to the balcony, a color gem will be unlocked, and a secret feature in the room will be revealed. When there are more than 5 penguins in the balcony, the room will be completely changed, and it will look awesome.

If you didn't knew, you won't need to cross all the mountain to enter the Air Kingdom again once you log off. The only thing you need to do is to wear the free item you used to enter the Castle, and stand in the end of some yellow stairs at the Town ( at the left - down side of the screen ) The tree will grow and you will be able to climb on it. But remember, you will only be able to do this if you wear the free item. If not, the tree won't grow. Also, you can help other penguins ( even nonmembers ) to enter the Air Kingdom by standing there ( using the item ) while they climb. In my opinion, this is a really good and awesome party. I think it's the best Medieval Party Club Penguin has ever had! Don't forget to visit the "Medieval Quests #1, #2 and #3" underground. The Medieval Quest #1 is now available for everyone. Click here to see the Walkthrough to pass the Medieval Quest #3! And finally, here is a list of the rooms I recommend you to visit the most:

- Town
- Lighthouse
- Ski Village
- Ski Hill ( Free Item & Field Ops )
- Mine Cave ( Medieval Quests #1, #2 and #3 )
- Air Kingdom
- Scorn's Liar
- Stage ( New Play! )
- Boiler Room ( Pin )

But before ending this post, I would like to announce something. As many of you have already heard, Club Penguin is already organizing its first Superhero Party ever next month, in June. But it isn't any Superhero Party... it is MARVEL's Takeover Superhero party!!! Yeah! Everyone is so excited for this party! If you didn't knew, MARVEL ( a company that creates fictional Superheroes ) was bought by Disney some months ago, so that's why maybe Club Penguin is launching this party. There will be costumes of our favorite superheroes like Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and more! But there are rumors that there will also be Villain's costumes, like Loki, Hydra, etc. I think the Island will be transformed into a type of city, and we will be able to save or destroy it ( I prefer to save it XD ) I am really interested in this party. What about you? Do you like MARVEL? Are you excited for this party? Please feel free to drop a comment with your opinions below! I will be really glad to answer you back. Thanks for reading and see you later in Club Penguin Island! :D

UPDATE: The Curse has been broken! Club Penguin will be completely back to normal in May 29.
