Hi Gs,

A while ago, Strange Cat (or Christmas Clown) mused that I may become the new Codien…

I didn’t really take it seriously, but now, I sort of wonder. I think I may have hit the jack pot, I can prove it to you with a link. Maybe even a couple links. Anyway, let’s break this down into parts.

Gamer Guy

The talk of the town is that Gamer Guy got fired. Well, I’m pretty sure he didn’t get fired. I have my theories, but I also may know who he really is. I don’t know for sure, but Kyle Fox sure fits the description: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/kyle-fox/14/190/587

I believe that Kyle did a one time job for Poptropica, and the posts were just part of that. They took advantage of the situation, and made it into a sort of publicity stunt. When the job was over, his fun was over. This seems to be slightly forced though, so what do you guys think?

The Music

If I haven’t told you before, here it is: if all else fails, I will root for the new improved islands JUST because of the amazing soundtrack. Jeff Heim is a genius, his music is genius, and you can hear the actual original soundtracks from their original files. This is only the beginning. More will be revealed later.

The Backgrounds

As well as music, you can view the backgrounds of scenes just like you can view items! Sadly, you can’t save them to you computer, as they are shockwave files, and some of them are off of the screen. Maybe in the future we can have a page dedicated to the backgrounds, as there are key words to reveal them.

In all, I think that this is a major breakthrough, and it’s not just for the sound islands. To file away everything together will be a huge undertaking, but I think that it can be done!

There is more than just what I showed you today; the possibilities are endless! I will post more some time or another.
