Malcom's (not so) Dual Reviews!



Hey guys,

Wow! It has been a long time since I last posted here, I was just too busy with school, beta testing, and internet problems that interfered with my regular posting. I'm sorry about that, and Allan's sister too.

So, the SOTI (State Of The Island) came out, and then update the update right after! I hope Apple's approval times are always like this for Pocket God updates! Great Job, Ice Hole is an update that includes Temperature Change, a Squid, a SwordFish, and my favorite, the ice geyser (easter egg). If you pinch the sun, it can change the temperature and it can freeze or burn the pygmies, depending on how big/small you make it. The burning pygmies (from the hot sun) burn a hole on the ice island. In this ice hole you can find the squid, the swordfish, and the ice geyser.



The icon for this update is alright with me, could've been better though, same goes for the Now Showing screen for GJIH (Great Job Ice Hole).

This update is probably the most gruesome update yet! I mean, pullin' heads off pygmies, pygmies impaled by the ice geyser, and sword swallowing! That's kinda harsh to small kids who play (and love) Pocket God. So we didn't get like an ice age or global warming in this update like everyone suggested but we did get the squid with a kinda cool microgame. I just think that the eating animation of the squid is too fast and I can't really see it that good. Ah, the ice geyser. I always liked hunting for easter eggs... don't worry guys, I'm not gonna spill the beans on how to make the ice geyser, but here is a hint: if you put something really heavy in the ice hole, you'll get something that is "pwnsome". Another thing that I don't like about this update is the swordfish. Whats wrong with the swordfish... It can't be cooked (future update?).

Oh, I almost forgot about the DLCs. They are AWESOME! This is my favorite and probably the best DLC that Davlan (Dave + Allan) have ever made. This DLC contains a dance cutomization pack with dances like single ladies, fan dance, stayin' alive, the robot, and my favorite, pants on the ground, with complete audio sung by Dave (I never knew he was the one that sung that until he said it in his SOTI). For those who are wondering what is this Pants on the Ground dance, it was a song Larry Platt (a 62 year old dude) sang in the American Idol Auditions that became a hit (which simon guessed correctly). Here's a video of his audition:

I would give this update a B+ and an A++ for the awesome DLC pack. I wonder what the next update might contain, comment below with your ideas.

This is malcomjudd, reporting...

Technical Difficulties

***The problem has been solved, thanks for anyone who volunteered to help, but I managed to fix the problem, while also bringing our blog more into the future for formatting and design, and controlling better posting, by updating our blog. The blog will look a lot more "colorful" now!***


We are experiencing major technical difficulties on the blog.

Our posts formatting as we write the posts are very disoriented, and posting photos is becoming increasingly hard, for we cannot see the photos when we draft posts.

Malcom will try and fix this early tomorrow, so hopefully we can resume posting at a continuos pace, and talk about the new update, show photos, dual reviews, spoilers, cool pictures, glitches, the pocket god world (looks awesome), and all that very, soon.



For now, there is an awesome spoiler game located underneath this post!



If anyone reading this has any experience with serious blogging, computer background, has taken computer classes at a moderate level, or knows anything regarding formatting and settings adjustment, please e-mail us at one of these (preferably both) e-mail addresses:

swiggy08@aol.com
thepygmyden@gmail.com



Thanks, and hopefully the blog will be up and running later today, or tomorrow.

Please contact us, and be patient!

Really Quick News Update


Hey guys, swigo8 here with a very quick news update, and a couple spoilers and hints.

First, we betas have started receiving builds, and we are already testing build number 2 (of around 5).

The update will most likely be submitted by Thursday or the end of the week.

Second, beta tester hdgreen posted some "spoilery" news about the upcoming update. (Note: he says the update is called Nice Job Ice Hole, but he made a typo, it is actually called Great Job Ice Hole.)



Third, here is a little rhyme I made about what things you can find in the new update (not to revealing, but enough to keep you guys guessing, and occupied). Take a look:

This update has a whole lot of new features, and maybe, even a few new creatures.



I will keep posting upcoming news,

3 Poll Results

Hey guys, sorry about the long delay on a lot of these poll results. Also, there are a few polls that I have the results for, that I haven't posted yet, because they deserve their own posts, and will determine the future of the blog. So I will get around to posting them soon :).

Anyway, without further ado, here are the results for 3 polls:


*UPDATED* What is your least favorite feature on the blog?
(In order from least favorite to favorite)

1st Place (Least Favorite): Pygmy Adventure Series 37%
2nd Place: Ideas 10%

10th Place: Polls 2%

13th Place (Favorite): Pocket God World 1%

I am taking these results into consideration, and I will be posting fan art more frequently (I have already started that), also, there will be another poll about the Pygmy Adventure Series, to see if Malcom and I should continue it or not.
