Weekend Open Thread

Pogo Mini Snapshot: Have a safe and happy Fourth of July!Happy 4th of July weekend everyone!

I feel like this week’s comments got swallowed alive by talk of cheating and autos. It’s a worthy discussion topic, I totally agree, but it completely overshadowed some of the really great tips that our users gave for Boggle Bash and some of the new Mix-n-Match badges. With that said, I’m kind of burned out on the whole auto/cheating discussion, so let’s try to keep that subject to a minimum in this weekend’s open thread.

So, it looks like the next two games that’ll be released will be Mini Golf Madness and Crossword Cove — anyone want to wager a bet on when and in what order they’ll come out?

Also, this week in Pogo News, they mentioned Pogo itself will be turning 10 (and I just remembered Club Pogo’s birthday is around the 20th of July every year, this one marks six) — if you didn’t participate in our past weekend open thread that discussed how we all found Pogo, feel free to let us know how many of those 10 years have you been playing!

Happy 4th of July to all of our US visitors, happy Canada Day to all of our Canadian friends, and happy WEEKEND to everyone! See you in the comments!

Buy Pocket Pogo GamesPogo’s added instructions for all of their upcoming Pocket Pogo games to their help site. (These Pocket Pogo games will be released in August.) Each of these goes over the different game modes and gives you a pretty good idea of what the games are going to be like. Also included are details of how you’ll be redeeming your tokens and “badges”. (We put quotes around “badges” because these will not show up with the normal badges in your Club Pogo badge album.) Here are direct links to each game’s instruction page:

Touchscreen:
* Pocket Pogo Touch Screen Battleship Instructions
* Pocket Pogo Touch Screen Casino Island Instructions
* Pocket Pogo Touch Screen Jewel Bash Instructions
* Pocket Pogo Touch Screen Scrabble Instructions
* Pocket Pogo Touch Screen Solitaire Instructions
* Pocket Pogo Touch Screen Word Whomp Instructions
* Pocket Pogo Touch Screen Yahtzee Instructions

Non-touchscreen:
* Pocket Pogo Battleship Instructions
* Pocket Pogo Connect 4 Instructions
* Pocket Pogo Yahtzee Instructions
* Pocket Pogo Monpoly Slots Instructions (not yet posted?)

If you’re interested in owning one (or a few, or all!) of these Pogo handhelds, we’ve paired up with Entertainment Earth and they’ve got all of the handhelds — both touchscreen and not — available for you to pre-order. (Reminder: the touchscreen versions are the only ones that have the “earn badges and tokens” feature.)

Become the Mini Idol!

July 2, 2009

Today’s Mini Mall release is full of Rock-n-Roll — show off your Idol style by gathering up some of these great items:

New Items at the Mini Mall!

Rock, Country, Rap and Crooners, Too!
July 2, 2009
If you’re a little bit country, and a little bit rock and roll– with a twist of hip hop and easy listening vocal stylings, then this is the Mini release you have been waiting for!

Rock out with the high energy Backgrounds, insane new Costumes, and musical Goodies!

And be sure to visit the Fantasy Pet section in the Pet Center for this month’s ADORABLE Pet of the Month

Heloise: Queen of the Hogs (2 pcs) is the Pet of the Month, which also contains a nod to Club Pogo’s 6th anniversary (which is coming up soon) in the form of a flying pig carrying a “6″ token.

Unlike previous releases (which were very, very gem-heavy) this release is pretty balanced between token and gem items — go stock your closets!
