The lastest Minigolf Spotlight award goes to zac_d_sup for rocky rocky place. Can you find your way through?

Congratulations go out to Jhortcely and yodod101! Each has proven spiffier than the rest in the Customisation Spotlight. Voting for this week's contest has begun. Good luck to this week's entrants!

The Story Telling competition has begun! Test your creative writing skills by continuing the story.

Lia stared wistfully at the pretty, brown-haired Usul dancing on the table, her voice ringing out over the cheers of the restaurant's customers. To the young Krawk, Hannah seemed to have it all -- beauty, talent, and a knack for finding adventures. All Lia had was a boring job clearing tables at The Golden Dubloon. It just didn't seem very fair.

SNOWBALL FIGHT! Can you think of something witty for our latest Caption Contest?

A rather friendly Wocky called Cuteblue123456229 has just won this week's Pet Spotlight award!


The Gift Shop has some rather pretty boxes.

Oh, are we doing news threads again? For the longest time I was hesitant to post up the news, but if we're going to post it up again, that's good to know. :)

And it really does seem like each week they're introducing more and more plushies.

I think this box is absolutely gorgeous! <3

I've been wondering what to do with my gallery now for a while... Perhaps I'll move all of my Advent and plot items to my side account and create a gallery of shiny, pretty boxes.

As for the old news threads, I stopped posting it up because no one was commenting on it... It made me sad :(

Anyone can feel free to post up the news whenever they want; I just got it started again because GC's very quiet lately and I could do with the entertainment. (Why yes, I do consider moderating your posts to be entertainment. Post more threads here or I'll just spend all my time talking about lizard people in Misc. Disc.!)

That sounds awesome. I've never seen a box gallery before.

I quite like the new sorbets. However, the art style doesn't look very Neopets-y to me. I've never quite gotten used to some of the pastel colored items with no black lines.

TNT comes up with some really lovely looking grooming items, as these chestnut items demonstrate, it's such a pity that you can't do any more with them than you can with, well, most of the rest of the stuff I suppose. I guess I would like to see more actually wearable make up, like they have in NC Mall, or at least allow grooming items to have a temporary effect on your neopet. Perhaps a "dirty" neopet that needs to be groomed, an average neopet (like present), and a "glowing" neopet that is well groomed. Or just a little sparkle or shine to the picture of a well groomed pet if it would be too hard to allow grooming items have an individual effect on neopets (red lips, blush, shiny hair/coat, etc.).

Barring a change in a neopet's appearance, it would be nice to be able to use some of these nice looking items as either clothing or furniture. Wouldn't it be nice to put a nice, shiny looking bottle like above on a shelf or table in your neohome?

I like the Skunk Wocky too - It's probably one of the best Skunk pets I think.

The new Wocky food items seem a bit... flat... to me. They just look boring and like the artists didn't attempt a whole lot of effort.

I'm surprised that there wasn't a Skunk Wocky before; it seems like an obvious candidate. Regardless, it is an amazingly good colour/species combination--moreso than most Skunk pets.

The perspective just looks weird to me on all of these. I'm not impressed.

I'll toss in a "me too" on being happy that the news is being posted here again. Somehow I just can't be bothered to look at it on Neopets' main site, but I'll take the time to read it here :)

Thanks!

-Blue

P.S. I like the new skunky wocky, too. In fact, it's probably the only Wocky I really care for... Well except for the Scratchard Kiosk Wocky when he's giving me an Icetravaganza Scratchcard or 10,000 NP :)

Mmm... the Haunted Woods snowglobe doesn't look very... snowglobe-y. The other one does have a nice retro feel to it, though. And is it just me or is the winner of the Neoadventure Spotlight not featured yet?
