Review: Pirate Party 2014

I missed out on experiencing the last "original" Pirate Party by just a few months, though I always hoped it would return.  Did it live up to the hype or is it as boring as everything else?

Looking Ahead: 2015 Edition

I'll be frank: I don't get as excited about Club Penguin as I used to.  However, I still find it exciting to find out what CP's next party is......even to the point where the announcement is more enjoyable than the actual event.  So, here's my (probably very wrong) party slate prediction for 2015.

After ten years, what's left?

Review: 9th Anniversary Party

Back in my early Club Penguin days, I would stare out the window on long car rides and imagine the future of the site.  During those times, one subject always came back to me: the upcoming Anniversary Party.

Despite its lack of a grand scale, the Anniversary Party was always one I looked forward to.  The fabled rare hats were a major reason.  What were the colors going to be this year?  Would there be a puzzle to find them?  However, above that was the hope that one of my biggest wishes for the site would come true; that finally, this year, Club Penguin would expand the party into an island wide event.  Wouldn't that be great?!

Little did I know, that the content I was getting back then wasn't the start of something bigger.....it was the peak before the downhill slide.

School Shift

Modern Club Penguin has many marks that carry over from party to party, but one of the most prominent ones is the zany, colorful variety of the themes we get to see each month.  Every party from 2014 up until now has featured a new art style that doesn't fit in with regular Club Penguin.

So, one of the reasons the School and Skate Party was so refreshing was that everything fit in perfectly with rooms that didn't have any decorations.

Because of this - and the fact that Club Penguin has started to quietly sneak in new permanent room designs with parties more and more frequently - I have to ask: is the Skatepark the only thing from the current party that's here to stay?

Review: School and Skate Party

In any year, the idea of a school party would probably be called out for obvious reasons.  However, with a release date this year, the idea was a huge risk, with fans already assuming that the final product would be very flawed.  But were they right or does 2014 still have something to prove?

The Problem With Club Penguin

2014 has been a horrible year for new Club Penguin content; that's been agreed on by basically everyone.  And, while there are many, many individual issues that you could point out - which have been stated numerous times by many different people - I think every single issue comes back to a single, large problem.
