Club Penguin in Disney Infinity?

Hey guys! Chill here. A few months ago, I talked about what they could do with Club Penguin if it was put into Disney Infinity. Well now, it looks like we have some evidence.

Today, Club Penguin released their 200th YouTube video, Puffles Around The World! - A Club Penguin Music Video, where the staff of Club Penguin dances and does other stuff in real life with puffles alongside them. Starting at around the 0:23 mark, you can see the outside of what I believe is the Disney Interactive Headquarters (I did research but couldn't find exactly where they were), which you can tell because of the larger-than-life Mr. Incredible and Sulley figures.

Spike Hike himself has said numerous times that he would like to see Club Penguin in the game, and numerous fans want it as well. Disney Infinity 2.0 promises a large cast of characters, such as the Avengers, Merida, Maleficent, and Stitch, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it in the game.

What do you think? Does this count as evidence toward CP in Disney Infinity, or is it just pure coincidence?

Chill is out, peace!

Future Party Analysis

Hey guys! Chill here, back with another analysis. It's been quite some time since I've done one of these! Anyway, let's analyze.

First, we got a sneak peek of some concept art of robots! As there are clearly penguins in the cockpits, it looks like we'll be piloting them, instead of controlling them like at the Marvel Superhero Takeover. I think these designs look pretty dang awesome. Later, we saw some full artwork of them on the membership page.

There will also be a minigame where we have to pilot these robots and shoot at asteroids to keep them from falling to the island, kind of similar to the game Icebergs from beta team. Although there are still a lot of possibilities for this game. Is it multiplayer? Is it singleplayer with the AI controlling the other robots? Or do you control all of the robots at once? I guess we'll find out in a few weeks what this game has to offer for us.

From login/exit screens, EPF messages, and the like, we know that this will be a EPF mission involving the Ultimate Protobot. What does that big bucket of bolts have in store for us agents now?

Also, Gary mentions that he built something called the Gary 3000 - will we encounter the Gadget Guy's robotic self at this party? Who knows! I certainly hope so.

This party looks pretty cool, and I can't wait to see what happens.

Chill is out, peace!

Puffle Party 2014 Review

Hey guys! Chill here. Today I'm going to review the Puffle Party 2014. The Puffle Party, since its introduction in 2009, has been a beloved party, but 2013's wasn't the greatest. Can 2014's companion celebration do better?

Features

As always, we can transform into puffles. The feature is kept somewhat fresh, with the addition of Gold, Dino, Dog, and Cat puffles. SPEAKING OF Dog and Cat Puffles... they really aren't the greatest. Like Dino Puffles, they really can't do much. However, Dino Puffles were still cool because of the fact that they were rare and collectable. Dog and Cat Puffles changed that by becoming PERMANENT puffles in the Pet Shop that you have to pay for. It's not really worth it at all, and I think they should've been kept free. When the Brown Puffle first came out, it was free, and it was WAY better than these puffles. As usual, PH is also waddling around - unfortunately without a new background. The Puffle Park (basically this year's Puffle Hotel) also opened, which is kind of cool actually. Also, just like the "grand finale" at the Muppets World Tour, the Puffle Gala is nothing but garbage. All you do is have your puffles perform tricks - and you don't even get any prizes! Why was this even kept until the end of the party? They should've released it right away (or not use it at all). The Puffle Tricks, like Puffle Digging, are cool for a few minutes, but then just get boring.

Score: 3/5

Decorations

The decorations are a fresh new update from previous years, with the removal of the themed rooms. Personally, I miss them, but hey, what are you gonna do. Unfortunately, this leaves several rooms, like the Night Club, Dance Lounge, Iceberg, Mine, and Underground Pool undecorated. The Pet Shop also isn't decorated for whatever reason. The other decorations are a combination of new and old, with some brand new designs like the Snow Forts, Forest, Cove, and... FINALLY the Coffee Shop. All the designs are pretty awesome, even with the removal of several key decorated rooms.

Score: 4/5

Items

I really have nothing to complain about with the items. While some of them aren't the greatest in the world, none of the items at this party are really junk. It's a shame the hoodies don't look as good in-game as they do on the player card... It was also nice that they threw in the Purple Bunny Ears now that the Easter Egg Hunt is absent.

Score: 4/5

Music

As always, the Puffle Party music never fails to impress me. The old tracks we all love are still here, along with a few from other parties. The new songs are fantastic as well. Keep it up, CP!

Score: 5/5

Non-Member Friendliness

Non-members can visit every room at this party, and get over half of the items.  Of course, they can't adopt the new puffles, but who would've expected otherwise?

Score: 4/5

Final Score

While the features could be improved on, the decorations, items, and music are all amazing. While it's not as great as it could be, it's definitely a step in the right direction.

Final Score: 4/5

Muppets World Tour Review

Hi-ho! Chill here.

Okay I won't do that.

Hey guys! Chill here. Today I'll be reviewing the first takeover of 2014, the Muppets World Tour! The party received pretty mixed reactions from users - some welcoming the party, and others hating it, some even vowing not to log on during the party. But how did it turn out? Which side's expectations were right (at least in my opinion)? Let's find out!

Features

The features at this party are actually pretty simple. Everyday, you log on, go to a room, do a dance with another penguin, and get a prize. These "mini-quests" are REALLY boring though, and I think they could've done something a little bit better with them. And then, the big show, which the entire party was leading up to - was trash. All that happens is the Muppets show up and do a dance with three frames of animation. Talk about boring. There's also the little Gift Shop event with Constantine. The only feature at this party I liked was meeting Kermit the Frog. At first I wasn't too excited about it, but it was fun getting to hang out and talk to him in English servers.
Score: 3/5

Decorations
The decorations are... well, meh at best. None of the designs really appeal to me all that much. The Cove is pretty cool though. However, the Plaza is TERRIBLE. It's supposed to resemble the United States, but I don't see how it does that at all. And what's up with the Pet Shop? It's the USA, not Japan! There's really not much good to say here.
Score: 3/5

Items
Items... ehhh... they aren't really the greatest. The Muppets costumes just don't feel right, especially when a lot of them are combined with Club Penguin's style. Seriously, Miss Piggy with a beak? The hats from the mini-quests aren't much to speak of either. The quest items are mostly just okay, except for a few, like the Cream Pie and the Beakers. The backgrounds really aren't anything special either.
Score: 3/5 

Music
If anything could save this party, it's the music, right? Nope. Most of the songs are either just okay, or horrible. Like the Plaza. And the Town. The only song at this party I actually like is the Cove.
Score: 2/5

Non-Member Friendliness
Non-members can visit all the rooms at this party, get all the backgrounds, and they can do the tasks and earn the hats from them. However, they can't get the actual items to do the tasks, and will need to find another member to do them with. They can't buy from the Muppets Catalog either, which, in my opinion, isn't that big of a loss anyway.
Score: 3/5

Final Thoughts 
 I was never excited about this party from the start - but I didn't think it would be that bad. While I would like to see Kermit again, I don't think it's worth another one of these monstrosities.
Final Score: 3/5

What did you guys think of the Muppets World Tour? Should they have another tour, or just leave the island forever?

Chill is out, peace!

Is Club Penguin Rewriting Its Own History?

Hey guys! Chill here. When I reviewed the Prehistoric Party, I said I had a bone to pick with that party. And here's what it is.

At the Prehistoric Party 2014, we saw several things that were inconsistent with modern day Club Penguin. It's important to remember while reading this post that all of our exploits at the Prehistoric Party from 2013 and 2014 affect Club Penguin for years to come, completely erasing major events from Club Penguin in 2005, 2006, and 2012, and changing penguin life during those times drastically.

First of all, this year Rocky's Pizza (obviously the prehistoric version of the Pizza Parlor) was added to Prehistoric Club Penguin. However, there was a Pizza Parlor Opening Party in 2006, and prior to this, pizza wasn't available in Club Penguin.

From Rocky's Pizza, we now know that the Pizza Parlor (and pizza itself) has existed for Club Penguin for MILLIONS of years! In fact, Gary says that while with Garugg the Ugg Ugg in the past, he invented the first ever pizza. Does this mean that, by time travel, Gary opened the Pizza Parlor millions of years early, therefore making pizza exist on CP for millions of years, and COMPLETELY ERASING an ENTIRE PARTY from Club Penguin history forever! Unless Rocky's Pizza was for whatever reason destroyed and then rebuilt as the Pizza Parlor in 2006... but I highly doubt that.

Next up - the Coffee Shop. The Coffee Shop has existed for a very long time without question - it never had an opening party, it was at both of the Prehistoric Parties as the Yum Yum, and it was even in Club Penguin's predecessor, Penguin Chat 3. However, at both parties, smoothies were found at the Coffee Shop, implied by fruit from the Smoothie Smash game seen on the shelves.

Now, prior to August 2012, smoothies were nowhere to be found at the Coffee Shop. Ketchup and mustard, sure, but no smoothies. While Gary may not be responsible for this one, this is still rewriting the events of the Adventure Party: Temple of Fruit, where Smoothie Smash and smoothies were introduced to the island and sold at the Coffee Shop.

And finally, puffles. Puffles weren't discovered in Club Penguin until November 2005. However, Garugg ends up discovering Dino Puffles millions of years prior, which causes Gary to return to the past. While this doesn't seem to be a case of time traveling itself messing with anything, this means that puffles were discovered millions of years ago.
However, this could be explained by the fact that we took all the Dino Puffles to the present with us, therefore fixing this particular time hole, but if that were so, how did modern puffles come to be? If their prehistoric ancestors were all removed and taken to 2014, then the 2005 puffles certainly couldn't of existed on Club Penguin Island.

Also, while it doesn't directly affect the timeline of Club Penguin, collecting dino eggs could've caused dinosaurs to go extinct by removing those eggs from their nests. If these prehistoric parties never happened, perhaps dinosaurs would still be with us on the island today.

HOWEVER: There are two very simple explanations to explain this. The first is that Club Penguin wants to keep these places recognizable. However, the Coffee Shop is still iconic without smoothies - it's the COFFEE Shop. We were fine without a prehistoric Pizza Parlor last year.

The second explanation is that Club Penguin wants to keep these parties simple for kids - two of the major time holes happened in the first year of Club Penguin's existance. It's possible that, now that employees like rsnail, Screenhog, Gizmo, and Billybob, who were there when these original events happened, have all left the company, that newer employees didn't do their research while creating this content.

Plus, there aren't that many players left from the early days to complain about this. Sure you can read about these events in the yearbooks, but what little kid would care, or even think about it for that matter?

Chill is out, peace!
