Premium Episode 170: Club Penguin (Cursed Communities)
Added 2022-05-10 02:16:57 +0000 UTCWhat is a pookie? Jake and Liv inaugurate our first cross-generational exchange with this episode about a mid aughts child MMO bought by Disney — a game with the acronym "CP". Were you one of the penguins? Did you tip the iceberg on that day of reckoning when the servers shut down?

2022-05-23 17:25:31 +0000 UTC"I want my MTV" was based on the concept of paying to see ads you want to see, since the videos were commercials for the music.

2022-05-15 04:28:09 +0000 UTCI second whoever suggested neopets as the next community! I still play neopets and the history of it has been wild.
2022-05-14 21:56:23 +0000 UTCYou should listen to the episode they did on second life, that ones latter half is all about living in a simulation conspiracies

2022-05-14 11:20:05 +0000 UTCI have no idea what’s going on with this episode 🤣 Do I stick it out for conspiracy-related content, or is it just documenting a game?
2022-05-14 08:42:47 +0000 UTCI am both terrified and excited to listen to this episode, as I was playing club penguin from the very beginning--or at least from before disney had even bought it. I oscilated between being a pookie/parent of pookies and being an anti a few times. I agree with the commenter talking about neopets although I personally was too young for neopets, it would be interesting.
2022-05-14 00:39:50 +0000 UTCI had never heard of this before! I wasn't extremely online in the early 2000s though, so lol. Although, right after the SecondLife ep, one of my prof's in a multi-media class had us sign up for SecondLife to view some art/multimedia exhibits, and I was like... Oh no. lol.

2022-05-12 04:33:35 +0000 UTCThis is one of my fav episodes ever omg. I was just like a year too old and missed club penguin, I was all in on neopets lmao. I feel like y'all would have a field day with a neopets episode tbh, there was a lot of weird shit going on in the early days, like scientology, the in game stock market, the neopets boards and the day the chat filter disappeared in like 2014, etc. Anyway thank u for the extremely informative episode about club penguin, I'm def a pookie hater now lmao.
