Cool Pictures (Them Famous Pygmies)



Hey guys, I've got some good news and some... well not-so-good news. Good news first :), with Malcom back posts will start coming out a little more quickly, and will be more interesting. Not-so-good news... With all of Bolt Creative's new Pocket God-related projects:
--- secret project (not even we betas know about it!)
--- Pocket God moving to other devices
--- Pocket God 2 (?)
--- Pocket Planet
--- and many other secret things including AWESOME new updates (I will post a spoiler of the new update shortly, and its APEtastic) 

Because of this, and personal issues that are private, posts will be a little slow for the time being, until Bolt starts finishing up these projects :)... Anyway, this blog is like a ghost-land up in here, and needs some color and excitement, so to spice up the mood a little bit, here are your favorite, famous pygmies. Take a look:

(P.S. I have been totally wrapped up in the LOST world, and have been in denial about the show finally ending (it was a brilliant ending, I mad add), so I have been a little slow on Pocket God news lately, since my mind is in LOST world. Hopefully, if Malcom is back permanently (I'll let you know soon), posts on news will be coming out weekly.)




Now that's gotta hurt


Chicken...Coconut, which one???


Peace yo :|


Now that just looks awesome!

News Update!!!! (after a LOOONG time)



Hey Guys...

WOW! its been a long long time sine i have posted anything here. ive been very busy about a LOT of things... Anyways, this post is about news updates and the first one is:

YAY, the first build has just arrived!! it includes some simple functionality and the new skin pack which looks great... the current build doesnt have the new minigame, The Runs in it so we betas still dont know what the game looks like YET. but by the looks of it, the minigame could probably be like the iPhone App, Little Runner, where you can control the path of the one who's running and go as far as you can without bumping into anything. Dave says that the next build will probably be out this weekend. I guess theyre still busy with the port of Pocket God to Verizon Phones, which is the second news update.

So pocket god will be ported to the Verizon Phones. im not kinda familiar with verizon phones so i needed to Google them and i found out that they are the phones like the Motorola Droid, HTC Droid Incredible, Palm Pre and Samsung Rogue. I bet these are just some of the Verizon Phones but if you have one of em, youre in luck coz PG will be there SOON...

Here are also two cool pics:

Ouch!!

NOOO!!!


this is malcomjudd, reporting...

Cool Pictures (One Annoying Day) + Poll Result

Hey guys, sorry for the delay again, but I'm vacationing in an area with pretty bad internet connection, so  I've been trying to make the best of my circumstances, but this is the first time I've been able to sign in for a week! :(

Thanks to Dragonvarsity's idea for the "Cool Pictures Poll" on the side of the blog, I now have a pretty good idea as to how much it is liked/disliked, so in honor of the 61% of you who voted Cool Pictures to be a perfect 5 out of 5, here is a brand-new cool pictures post with a little different format (1-4 are all connected, while the last one is a little bit of a "comic" in honor of the new Pocket God Comics coming soon!) Take a look:





1- "One of you... Help me!"


2- "Ugh, someone talk to me!"


3- "Guys look... I see my reflection"


4- "Hmm, now you pay attention... Jerks"

Guy #1: Your butt smells. Guy #2: Ooo what's that red thingy. Guy #3: "Hey, can I stare at you while you stare at him?"






Part 43, The Fans Are Back will feature:

P.S. I now realize, in my haste to post a a new post, I posted a Cool Pictures post that was supposed to be posted after the Cool Pictures post entitled, "The Fans Are Back". (Wow, I used the word "post" way to many times there :p)
Sorry for the confusion... the NEXT post will be The Fans Are Back, and then everything will return to normal :)

What Would You Do If You Controlled Pocket God...

This awesome picture is by Cameron Bess, and it features the all-know superhero pygmy Wolverine!


Hey guys, check out some of the ideas that fans have come up with! Some of them are really awesome and original, take a look:


saintsalive:


I had a suggestion about a genie a bit back, inside temple-ish pyramid which had a river(like the nile river - crocodile?) The idea was that there is a genie lamp, if you smash it against a pygmy it shatters and the pygmy falls into the river(a new lamp falling from the sky of course). But if you gently set it down and a pygmy picks it up, he will rub it and get sucked into the lamp. The lamp now glows purple, and if you put it by another pygmy he will rub it and the pygmy will come out a genie(purple pygmy with floating ghost tail - tail is always connected by a strand of it to the opening of the lamp). Now the other pygmies will start with their wish bubbles but way more often(and with more stuff - needing the outhouse, needing a cooked fish, etc.) Think of every idle being a new wish when the genie's out. The genie will grant each wish, but the wishes may or may not be good - ex. the pygmy wishes for a fish, he might get one, or he could get a burnt one and choke - ex. the pygmy wants the bathroom, he might get to go to the bathroom, or the outhouse could drop on his head and crush him, falling into the river. To get rid of the genie, smash his lamp on a pygmy and he will poof into a cloud of purple smoke and turn normal again.


Martin JF:


They should add a moveable cload. A small cload you can move around, and if you poke it, it starts to rain. But: if it is hot (sun is big) the pygmies will go to the cload to cool down so they don't explode. If the sun is small, it will start to snow from the small cload instead. Then, we could do stuff with the snow, like burying pygmies with it.



Oldskooler81:


Desert Island:

  • Scorpions to give you a nasty bite
  • A cactus to poke pygmies with
  • A cave with sharp rocks
  • Sandstorms
  • Scorching hot sun
  • An oasis to tease your pygmies



Oldskooler81:



Outer space:

  • A floating island 
  • A alien tree
  • An alien in a UFO to zap and "steal" pygmies
  • Meteor showers and cold weather





If you have any cool ideas, e-mail them to me with a picture, to swiggy08@aol.com, and I'll feature them here.

Small News Tidbit


Hey guys, as you may have already known for a while, the newest Pocket God update is out, and its AWESOME.

I'm not the Dual Review writer here at the blog, so I'll just provide a few links for you guys, because at the moment i am very preoccupied with some huge changes coming to this blog!

We beta testers gave already gotten the new build for the next update, but there is nothing really new yet, just a few tweaks here and there, and a lot of glitch fixes.

I would sincerely like to appologize, however, for not being able to post last update's glitches, but I will post some new beta tester posts, and some other special offerings ;).

As of now, enjoy this awesome update, and share your stories with me (by video) at swiggy08@aol.com (were back to the old e-mail).

Sorry, for the small news update but for more news on this update and spoilers for the next...

P.S. Thanks to dragonvarsity for the awesome poll idea (the new poll is located on the right side of the blog, enjoy!)


Enjoy, and I'll be reporting with some big news shortly,

Cool Pictures (Exploring The Unknown)

Hey guys, first off, I'd like to formally apologize on the one week delay of posting a new post! This never happens, and if you disagree, take a look at our track record ;). So much has happened recently that I am having trouble keeping up with everything myself. There are tons (and I mean tons) of news updates that Malcom and I need to get to, the end of Prison Break, Glitches, the 70,000th view post, the Beta Tester post, and many more. I will have a post explaining my delay and the problems going on shortly, but please have faith that everything will return to normal (except one big change) very soon. I am once again very sorry, and I don't want to speak for Malcom (like I usually do *cough* *cough*) but he is probably sorry as well.

Once again, without further ado, take a look at some awesome, cool picture, and I'm sure you guys will love the next cool pictures post ;). Take a look:

Poll Result + New Feature!

(This awesome comic was made by Zack of the Pocket God Forums, and is part of their brand-new feature "Daily Comics". I will feature some of these comics on the blog, but check out the Pocket God Forums for all of them.)
(Click to enlarge)




Hey guys, to celebrate our 65th thousandth view, I have decided to reveal the results to a poll and add a brand-new, regular feature to the blog! I am very excited to add this new feature, and I think it will be a favorite immediately! So without further ado, and to stop all this suspense here is the result to a poll and the announcement of our very new feature here at The Pygmy Den:





  • What new feature would you like Malcom and I to post on the blog regularly?

Our interpretation of the new icon... --> 48%
Pocket God-junkie of the week --> 23%
Videos --> 9%
Old update pictures compared to new --> 7%
3 polls! --> 6%
Pictures of fans --> 4%



Now if you are wondering which is our new feature, I will tell you shortly, and explain how I came to my decision. 


First off, for the 4% of you who voted on pictures of the fans, I think thats a great idea, but not great enough to have its own post. However, if you want your picture posted on the blog, e-mail your picture to thepygmyden@gmail.com and I will post it like fan art. :)


Second, I tried putting 3 polls on the side of the blog a few months ago, but it didn't seem to work that well, and crowded the side of the blog too much. Also, that's not really a new feature... just an extension ;)


Third, videos. Videos are awesome, but I didn't think it could be its own post, since the Pocket Blog posts videos regularly. However, Malcom and I will start posting videos in some posts, and you guys can provide links to us in the comments section linking to your youtube videos, or any other videos you have, and we'll post them here.


Fourth... Old update pictures compared to new. Awesome idea, that I think will probably be added to the blog in the near future when Pocket God 1 begins to slow down a lot more, and new Blot Creative projects (maybe Pocket God 2) begin. 


Hmm, fifth... now this was a very, very hard choice. Both options were such great ideas and both got high percentages, however, Malcom and I had to go with one, and only one FOR NOW. Coming in a close second place was "Pocket God-junkie of the week". This feature will probably make its way to The Pygmy Den in the near future, but for now, the new feature is "Our interpretation of the new icon"!


If you are wondering what this new feature is going to be like, its pretty simple, and pretty awesome! After the update comes out, Malcom and I are going to talk to each other and create a design of what we think the icon should look like based on what is in the update (sort of like Malcom's shark icon and eel icon from a while back). Then Malcom will draw and animate it, and we will post it on the blog shortly after the update has been approved!






If you have any ideas for polls, fan art, cool pictures, pictures of you, awesome videos, or any other Pocket God related things, e-mail them to thepygmyden@gmail.com!


Stay tuned for a new contest coming shortly to end Poll Week Madness and our brand new feature!

2 Poll Results

(An awesome Space "Island" made by Oldskooler81)

Hey guys, Poll Week Madness is sadly coming to an end, but I have 2 more poll results right now and a new poll has already been added to the side of the blog. Within the next two days I will post the results to a poll we had a while back, and will announce the new feature in the same post! Shortly after, I will post another poll result, with a new contest to close Poll Week Madness (more like 2 Weeks Of Poll Madness :p). Anyway, here are the results to 2 more polls:







  • Should Malcom and I continue the Pygmy Adventure Series?

Yes, its ok --> 30%
No, I don't like it that much --> 26%
No, stop it now! --> 15%
Yes, it is the best post on the blog! --> 14%
Only until Prison Break is over, then stop --> 13%


Malcom and I have had so much controversy regarding the Pygmy Adventure Series, and still haven't really made up our minds 100% on what we should do with it. Since 44% want it to continue and 54% of you want it to stop now, Malcom and I are torn between the two possibilities. As of now, we will post the third and final part of Prison Break shortly (Date to be announced later), and then we will see if we will continue with a new story.





  • Should Malcom and I post a piece of fan art above every post?

Yes! --> 59%
No opinion. --> 27%
No! --> 10%
just post my fan art already! --> 3%


As you can see, Malcom and I have gone with the 59% of you who said yes, and are starting to post a piece of fan art above almost every post (the ones without pictures at least). For the 3% of you who haven't had their fan art posted, I promise it will be posted soon, but keep sending more in to thepygmyden@gmail.com.



That's all for now, stay tuned for a new feature and new contest coming this week,

3 Poll Results

(By pygkid104)

Hey guys, since its "POLL WEEK MADNESS," I have the results for 3 more polls, and 2 new polls are gonna be posted on the blog when the 2 current ones end! Without further ado, here are 3 more poll results, with a little news about the new update at the end ;). Take a look:



  • Which blog design do you like better?

The Original --> 24%
Neither, please change it --> 17%
The Christmas one --> 15%
Both Equally :) --> 13%
Change it to ______ (Leave comment UNDER A POST) --> 5%


Well, because 32% of you guys preferred another blog design to this current one, Malcom and I will be switching the blog design during all major (world-wide) holidays, then back to the original once the holidays are over, for you 24% who prefer the original ;). Also, for those who chose the "Leave a comment option", no one actually left a comment under a post, so I have nothing new to share about that, but for future posts, leave comments and I'll feature them in the results post.



  • Which "island" is your favorite?

Ice Island - The most desired --> 54%
Pygmy Graveyard - Zombies, ghosts, and spiders, oh my --> 19%
Octopus (Oog) Island - I'm a loyalist --> 12%
Underwater - Who doesn't love sharks with lasers --> 7%
Dino Island - I love my Dinos --> 6%


I wasn't very surprised when I saw these results, because personally I love the Ice Island too, and think it is the best and most interactive of them all. But ***SPOILER ALERT*** the underwater location is gonna be a lot of people's new favorite with its new mini-game, and special something people have been asking for for a while ;). *** I guess I'll have to post this poll again after the update...



  • What is your favorite Pocket God trilogy of updates?


The Ice "trilogy" --> 51%
The Graveyard trilogy --> 29%
The Dino trilogy --> 13%
These were all my least favorite updates --> 5%


Once again the Ice Island dominates the polls with 51%, and not surprising only 5% of people didn't like the trilogies at all.


***For another spoiler go to the Pocket God leaderboards for sacrifices (etc...) on Open Feint, and scroll all the way down to episode 1.30 for a sneak peak at a new sacrifice in the new update!


Stay tuned for poll result week, with a new contest and new feature coming!
