2013 in Review: What Happened (1/3)

Hey guys! Chill here. Well, 2013 has come and gone, and now it's 2014, with plenty more surprises awaiting us! I decided I'd like to give 2013 a proper sendoff with a three-part series. Today I'll go over everything that happened in this year and my thoughts on them.

January

 The year started off pretty bad, in my opinion. The new art style was (and still is) horrible. Gary's sudden personality change was weird too. Then we got a rotten egg that was the Prehistoric Party - okay, I lied, the Prehistoric Party wasn't THAT bad. But it still could've been a lot better. Although the dino transformations were pretty cool.

February

Daffodaily5 and Chattabox hosted the Chinese New Year event and

we saw Sensei for the first time in over a year. The party this month was the box office bomb, Hollywood Party. Although the limo was cool, and we got to see Cadence, Aunt Arctic, Gary, and Sensei again, this party was HORRIBLE. You couldn't truly act in any of the movies, and the quests made probably EVERYONE lose their sanity. I'm not kidding. However, we also got CP's CD, The Party Starts Now. So this month wasn't all bad.

March

 This party should've ran off into the wild. Well, not exactly. 2013's Puffle Party was TERRIBLE compared to the others. Although we got the Rainbow Puffle, it was pretty disappointing and it couldn't do everything other puffles could - in fact, it still can't. Several old rooms were thrown away including the Puffle Show. Combine that with the lack of free items and you've pretty much got a terrible party. However, I hope CP improves the party and puts it back on 2014's roster.

April

Ahh, April. The month I first started blogging on here. Anyway, the return of actual missions came with Operation: Hot Sauce. Pretty much everything was good about this event. Then the first actually good party. The Marvel Superhero Takeover was super! Robots, power gloves, music, decorations, games - I loved EVERYTHING about this party. In fact, it's one of my favorite parties this year!

May

 What was in the cards for May? The Card-Jitsu Party of course! We got to see Sensei again and Card-Jitsu Snow was launched, something penguins were waiting for YEARS. Unfortunately it had a pretty bug-filled launch and the party was filled with lots of recycled content. The My Penguin app has also launched which unfortunately I have not been able to try out yet due to not owning an iPad. But you betcha I'll review it when it comes out for Android!

June

It's so good it's scary! The Monsters University Takeover was a pretty good party. While it's not my favorite, I think it was pretty good. The fun Scare Games and some cool new music and all-new decorations make for a good party. Even IF it was rigged... We also got the launch of Club Penguin's new weekly comedy series, #WaddleOn. The launch wasn't that great and it still could be a lot better.

July

*yawn* Club Penguin's Star Wars Takeover was pretty bad. I really didn't like much besides the music. The island was not decorated at all besides the Dock, and everything else was all party rooms. The new School opened as well, which got rid of the Recycling Plant. The School is even MORE boring, but luckily they seem to be consistent with decorating it, so it's not just a waste of space at the Mine Shack.

August

Club Penguin gave Summer a proper sandy sendoff with the FANTASTIC Teen Beach Movie Summer Jam. For the first time in years we finally got a Summer Party, and I gotta say, it was pretty epic. Amazing decorations, fantastic music, and takeover clothes that don't look horrible after the party is over made this a party to remember. And don't forget Cadence and her new friends!

September

Unfortunately CP TOTALLY ruined the Medieval Party this year. Dragons, knights, and epic quests were swapped out for wizards, fairies, and magical potions. Gary came making him miss the Halloween Party for the first time in... well, he's never actually missed one before! Although the party was good, it feels more like a Wizards of Waverly Place Takeover or something than a Medieval Party.

October

BOO! It's so good it's scary! Wait... I already said that. The Halloween Party was a pretty great party. Although there weren't any epic quests or anything, it was still pretty nice, and What Lurks In The Night is a fantastic new song. The 8th Anniversary Party was also surprisingly decent as well, but it could've been better.

November

The Gold Puffles are discovered! Woohoo! Although you need to do a tedious quest to get them... but who cares? It's Gold Puffles! Then what everyone has been waiting for - Operation: Puffle! We get an awesome nighttime remake of the entire island, great new tracks mixed with classic ones, and a fantastic party game.
December
The year finished off in style with the annual Holiday Party. New music mixed with old holiday classics and cool decorations. The train gimmick is enjoyable and I would like to see it return again.

That's not all I have to say about 2013. Next up, the worst. Prepare for the 2013 Un-Awards!

Chill is out, peace!
