The Club Penguin Year Long Epic Quest! - Week 0

So this is the first instalment of my Club Penguin Year Long Epic Quest in which I intend to let you guys know what is going down in Club Penguin. I signed myself up for a Years membership to Club Penguin, in that year I will keep you updated every single week up until my membership runs out. I will limit myself to one hour per day, this I feel is a decent time. This is my way of doing my bit for the Giant Bomb community, so you better damn well appreciate the sacrifice I'm making!

Thank you, and enjoy.

Week 0 - Moustaches, 8 year old stalkers and bad coffee.

Entering the world of Club Penguin for the first time in years was daunting, I really did not know what to expect. One of the things that made me feel quite weird was when signing up for Club Penguin, there is no option to put your email address in. Instead it asks for your parents email address, your parents then get to choose whether your allowed to type freely or you have to use pre-set messages. Upon booting Club Penguin up I was greeted by a GIANT Orange Penguin, he then walked me through a tutorial showing me how to move, type and throw snowballs. This seems to be a new feature, because before I'm sure it just dumps you in the world and says there you go. After completing his stupid tasks I was then dumped into the world, however, Club Penguin Island was not as it usually is.

It seems that there is a huge ass party going on, called The Fair. Theres lights everywhere and there is this funky music going on in the backround. Think carnival theme and you have the idea. After a some asking around it seems that there are exclusive games that are only available in The Fair party, which happens every year. In these games you collect tickets (As you would in amusement arcades) and with the tickets you can spend them at a booth to buy some things. (See Picture) Seeing as these items would not appear again (Possibly next years fair party?) I thought it would be a good idea to get them. So I went and played all of the fair games, there was a whole bunch of them. There simple enough, and because I am such a hardcore gamer, I ended up with hella tickets. I was able to buy everything on the stall. It says that more items are coming soon, so I checked the paper - The Club Penguin Times which is released every Thursday(?) and delivered to your Penguin - and it seems that the new items will appear on September the 29th, so this party is going to be on for a while.

What bugs me is that you can't save tickets, every time you log off you loose all your tickets. So it means when September the 29th rolls round I'll have to go and play those stupid games again. I also forgot to mention there is a members only area with exclusive fair games, there not that great. Those member only mini games made me remember that as a member, I am able to buy clothes and items out of the various shops around Club Penguin. As a free member you can buy only colours for your Penguin and backrounds. As a paid member you can buy clothes and things to personalise your penguin. So I went and played some mini games.

I started doing the coffee game, and dude that game is hard, in fact most of the games on Club penguin are quite difficult. I didn't get to play them all yet, but yeah the ones I played were pretty hard. I couldn't even get to the last truck on the coffee one, I was crushed by the coffee bags and supposedly knocked out? Anyway after making some coins I went and looked round the various shops, first at the "The Stage" which is a theatre room. I bought a sweet Red cape and hat, but in needed something more, it needed a moustache! So I looked in the main shop but alas no moustache, I did however change my colour to a greeny/blue colour. I did encounter a pirate ship out by the lighthouse though, and inside was a small shop and they sold moustaches, my Penguin was now complete.

I strolled around in my new attire and showed off my moustache, which seemed to attract the attention of this other Penguin. She came over to me and said. "Boy or Girl?" I responded in the best way possible "Duder". She then asked again because she didn't seem to understand what Duder meant, so I politely said boy. She then asked to be my boyfriend. I was thrown a back by her offer, I told her I was not interested, but she then came over and made the heart icon appear and sat next to me. She then told me she loved me though, I was freaking out at this point and just kinda ran away. I went and sat in the coffee shop and thought I was free, but oh no, she followed me. She then invited me to her igloo to play some games, thats when I logged off.

Thank you for reading, hopefully it will get more interesting in later weeks, once I get in the flow of how this is going to work it should be a lot better. Also I would love feedback and also let me know what you would like to see. I would also like tips on the screen shots, as you can see the added pictures are really crappy, any tips with this would be great. I may also do this in video form later down the line, if I ever work out to record off my iMac that is.
