The Club Penguin Party Creator!

Hey guys! Chill here. My friend Sharkbate recently made this really cool "game" called the Club Penguin Party Creator, where you can create your OWN Club Penguin parties! Check it out at this link right now! (unfortunately, the Party Creator has been shut down, and the link no longer works)

The Party Creator is still in the beta stages, so if your favorite room or party isn't in it yet, don't worry, it'll probably end up in it sometime soon. And, eventually there will be a feature where you can decorate versions of the rooms from earlier years!

The Party Creator is fun to use and there's a lot of creative stuff you could do with it. Check out this Music Jam Cove my friend Mario Rk made!
Sharkbate is definitely a genius when it comes to these things. Check it out, and tell all your friends who play Club Penguin to check it out too!

Chill is out, peace!

Future Party Review

Hey guys! Chill here. Today I'll be reviewing Club Penguin's latest party, the Future Party - and I'm on time for once! Write that down.
Features
The robos are pretty cool, and their "snowball" animations (which unfortunately, only work in space) are pretty cool. Unfortunately, we can't destroy other robos like at the Marvel Superhero Takeover, which was pretty fun. Speaking of robos, the space "game" is lame. All you do is throw snowballs at meteors and microbots (who look like the Test Bots, which I think is pretty cool). And they don't even do anything! If you get hit by an asteroid, nothing happens. If a microbot blasts you, nothing happens. And if you don't destroy them and they reach the island, guess what? NOTHING HAPPENS. The game feels urgent, but there's really no urgency. There's no penalty if you get hit, or if you don't get hit by an asteroid. And guess what? The final battle, which has once again been hyped, is terrible as well. Protobot does NOTHING. The only attack that can do anything to you is his missiles, but that only has an aesthetic effect. The fights in space are insanely boring and they could've been made a lot better by, oh, I don't know, actually having effects when you mess up?
As for mascots, you can meet Gary with a new background. Well, not exactly. It's Gary 3000, Gary 2000 years in the future. I like Gary a lot, but isn't he overused by now? We still have half a year of parties left to go and Gary already visited twice. He IS my favorite mascot and all, but good gravy.
Score: 3/5
Decorations
The decorations are pretty cool - well, what there is, exactly. Apparently in the future, the Plaza, Forest, Cove, Mine Shack, Dojo Courtyard, Ski Village, Stadium, and Ski Hill all got EXPLODED BY PROTOBOT MWAAHAHAHA destroyed. Either that or they disappeared for no reason. Either way works. 
Anyway, to the actual decorations. The designs are all pretty cool and future-y and stuff... yeah. That's really all I have to say.
Score: 4/5
Items
Club Penguin did a great job with the items at this party, I really can't complain.
Okay I lied, I can complain. The alien items are just... I dunno. They just don't feel right. *shudder* Also, the Asteroid Head has the stupid add-on beak that I hate so much. But other than that, everything is great. I do wonder one thing though - why in the world is the Cybernetic Arm a body item?
Score: 4/5
Music
The music at this party is really good. All the tracks are brand new, and Club Penguin did a great job. The robotic singer in the background bothers me though...  my favorite song is definitely Strange Galaxy. I can't get enough of it!
Score: 4/5
Non-Member Friendliness
Looks like Club Penguin gave more features to non-members in 2000 years. Non-members can get half of the items from the party catalog, visit all the rooms, and collect three of the four non-catalog items. Unfortunately, they can't use the robos.
Score: 4/5
Final Score
While the Future Party isn't the greatest party, it's certainly not the worst. While the decorations, items, and music are great, the lack of rooms in the future and the bland nature of the "game" make it seem to fall flat.
Final Score: 4/5

What did you think of the Future Party? Would you like to see it back next year?

Chill is out, peace!

Top 10 Parties That Should Return

Hey guys! Chill here. A while ago, I did a post called Top 10 Items That Should Return. Today, it's time for another Top 10 list! This time parties that should return. This is for every party, that either didn't happen in 2013 (or earlier), or has been confirmed to not be returning this year.
10. Wilderness Expedition 
The Wilderness Expedition was pretty cool - we got a new puffle, and the wilderness rooms were fun too. I always loved pretending to go camping in the wilderness with my friends in the wilderness, which I couldn't really do at the Forest because of how open it was (and still is). While not necessarily another wilderness expedition, it would be awesome if Club Penguin brought these rooms back for good. Why not? They did it with the Cave Expedition.
9. Winter Fiesta
The Winter Fiesta was one of my first parties, and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I was only able to go to one of these before Club Penguin gave it the axe. The only real issue I could see with this party coming back is the Mexican/Spanish stereotypes, which could be why it got taken away in 2009, when CP started becoming more politically correct.
8. Penguin Play Awards
The Penguin Play Awards was promised to be annual - but only happened two years in a row. I liked the Penguin Play Awards a lot, it had great music, and during the second year, there were cool decorations all over the island. And it had quite a few mascots, which was pretty cool as well. And, only six of the nineteen plays ever got a chance to win awards. Polo Field said they don't make any new plays because not many penguins use the Stage anymore (*ahem* there's a REASON for that, Polo) - but another Penguin Play Awards could boost attendance to the Stage, and maybe motivate CP to add more plays.
7. Camp Penguin
Camp Penguin looked like it was a really interesting concept, and the music was great too. So why didn't it come back? Who knows. This would be really interesting to see again, and who knows what CP would do with it now.


6. Marvel Superhero Takeover
The Marvel Superhero Takeover in 2013 was one of my two most favorite parties of that year, tied with the Teen Beach Movie Summer Jam. Unfortunately, it's already been confirmed that it won't be returning this year. If it never comes back, hopefully we'll see just a regular Superhero Party. I wanna use those gloves and robots again!
 5. St. Patrick's Day Party
I know Club Penguin isn't really too keen on celebrating real world holidays anymore, considering Halloween and Christmas are the only survivors, but you gotta love the St. Patrick's Day Parties. Unfortunately, like the Winter Fiesta, I only got to experience one before it got the axe. I know a lot of penguins would love to see this party back.
 4. April Fools' Day Party
The April Fools' Day Party was a pretty cool party, one of Club Penguin's first. It has been around since 2006, but after a failure in 2012 caused by laziness on CP's part, it got the axe in 2013. Although if this comes back, I think CP needs to take the focus off the dimensions. While it was cool the first year the dimensions came out, there's really nothing "April Fools'" about it. If they bring it back, I hope it's based more on the version from 2008 or 2009. And it really bugs me how they used it in the Spoiler Alert when it never actually happened.
 3. Adventure Party
The Adventure Party was always one of my favorite parties. Not the newer ones, I'm talking about the first one from 2009. I loved everything this party had to offer (especially the music), and I hope they bring it back more like how it was during the original run.
2. Summer Party/Water Party
Who doesn't love Summer? The Summer Parties and Water Parties always looked like a lot of fun, but CP stopped doing them in 2008. The Teen Beach Movie Summer Jam was a success in my books, but hopefully we'll see another true Club Penguin Summer Party this year.
 1. Festival of Flight
Finally, the party I'd like to see return the most, the Festival of Flight. The Festival of Flight was one of my earliest experiences on Club Penguin, and it had my favorite mascot - Gary. The music was great, the rooms were great, there really was nothing bad about this party. I'd love to see it back sometime.

What did you think of this list? Are there any parties you would've added to this list? Removed? Drop a comment below!

Chill is out, peace!
