2014 Events Review

Since I'm a little late on this, I'll be reviewing all of the events we've had so far this year in one post: Welcome Russia, Funny Hat Week, Penguin Prom, and Turbo Race 3000.

Welcome Russia

 

The decorations at Welcome Russia were pretty much what you would expect from a mini-party about, well, Russia. We got a nice item too, although it was one of those weird ones that looks good until you actually put it on your penguin and it looks ugly. So yeah, it was a decent event, but not the greatest. Score: 3/5

Now HERE'S what we wanted! The party's decorations were pretty cool, kind of similar to the classic parties where the rooms were actually decorated instead of "transformed". The items were all pretty cool, my favorite being The Donut Conquerer as it reminded me of an old friend. The music is a cool tune that's a nice throwback to the first ever Music Jam. It's kind of funny, because I considered Funny Hat Week better than all the parties before it that year! Score: 5/5

The Penguin Prom, while I wasn't looking forward to it at first really, turned out to be a pretty awesome event! Unlike most other events, three rooms were decorated for the event: the School,
Mine Shack, and Stadium. While the Stadium's decorations were very minor, the School and Mine Shack had really nice decorations. As far as items go, I found it really weird how you got a graduation cap, but no gown, and I know others did too. The background is nice too. The music in the School is awesome, being an instrumental medley of The Party Starts Now, Gotta Have A Wingman, Ghosts Just Wanna Dance, Cool in the Cold, and Anchors Aweigh. What's not to like? Score: 5/5

The Turbo Race 3000, while cool in theory, was kind of a flop. The actual "racing" was very flawed, as you couldn't race with other users and it only activated based on what you did, so it didn't make much of an actual race. The decorations felt kind of cramped, although it was nice to see the Stadium's old design again after the Penguin Cup. The items were pretty nice, although the helmet feels incomplete without the actual suit, so non-members kind of got a bad deal there. The song is pretty nice and sounds like something you might hear in a slower-paced racing video game. Score: 3/5

Chill is out, peace!
