Happy Weekend Everyone!
Let’s take a break from the discussions about embedded games and have some fun with another BadgeHungry Random Act of Kindness/Gift a Stranger weekend. Tokens aren’t useless at all when you can use them to brighten someone else’s day! While you’re out and about in Pogo this weekend:
Take a moment to send a gift to someone you don’t know.
With no expectations for anything in return, send a token Mini or Expression gift to thank someone for kind gameplay, politeness, a unique username, fun chat, a great profile, or any reason you’d like. You don’t have to mention BadgeHungry or why you’re gifting them, but it’d be great if you did. Let us know how it goes!
Also, feel free to use the comments here to discuss anything Pogo-related that didn’t fit in anywhere else this week.
See you in the comments!

Pogo is retiring the Winter’s Gift Premium Badge Album on February 11th. Originally released on November 27, 2007, this small album contained four animated badges and an album completion badge for 43 Gems. If you’re still in the market for this album, you may want to hold off until the last day or so to purchase it — in case it goes on sale like other retiring albums have in the past.
Thanks to Moey for sending in the news!

Earlier this week, Pogo switched Poppit! to what they call an “embedded game”. This means that instead of playing Poppit! in a pop-up window, it will be loaded in the same web browser window instead.
This is just the beginning of at least several (if not all) Pogo games that will be changed to the embedded format; recently-released games are in the embedded format and future games will be as well. Watch for First Class Solitaire, Crossword Cove, and Sweet Tooth 2 next, some users may already see the new pages.
This change is going to take a little time to get used to, but there are some tips and tricks you can use that may make the transition easier. Here’s some information on playing an embedded game and choosing a room, your privacy, hiding the clutter, and playing in a separate window.

Our 2012 weekly albums are not displaying the proper badge totals. While it’s unnerving to see the incorrect totals (such as 7/8), you still have all of your badges and it will be resolved in early February.
Play with Friends
If you’d like to meet up to earn these badges, play in Temporary Members Room 50030 or in a room that starts with B or H. Wear a badge that looks like a “B” to identify yourself and don’t forget to say hi!
