* neocream1586 wins this week's Minigolf Spotlight with his level - The Lava Beach.

* Seems like Hannah isn't too happy about Gwyl invading her turf! Can you think of something witty for the latest Caption Contest?

* If you have enough Neopoints to leave in the jar at Geraptiku Petpets, you could take one of these new friends home to your Neopet.

* A new Story Telling competition has just begun. Everyone enjoys a hearty pirate tale, aye?

Suddenly, Hitori gasped as he caught a glimpse of the ship's flag, unfurling in the wind. "No, it's not ours," he cried. "They're PIRATES!..."

* Three new Greetings featuring Kavi from Tubular Kiko Racing, Magax from MAGAX: Destroyer, and Sophie from Sophie's Stew!

* This week's Site Spotlight goes to The Cafe by anti_doirn and her Kyrii, Samuoll.

* Match Ruff Ruffman's very particular food order and win Neopoints in our latest sponsor game - Fetch: Bon Appétit.

* There is a new Neopedia with lots of information on Armin, the brave little Bori who helped save Neopia from a terrible fate.

* Sophie is the very first Swamp Witch to have her very own How to Draw!

The first three petpets' art style looks really... different.

It works in IE but not Mozilla-based browsers. They seem to be having problems accomodating Mozilla-based browsers lately for Flash content games. The keyboard input and submitted information doesn't register.

Odd, this game works for me on Firefox. But then again Gwyl's Escape thing didn't perform so well.

I'm liking the new wacky petpets! They're quite exotic and unique, and I think that blue leopard thing would look nice with a island lutari.

I love the third petpet! But obviously it would have inflated in price by now. x_x

I didn't mean wierd as in not working, I meant wierd as in "strange concept for a game" :oops: I use Firefox and the flash games are working jsut fine.

Works fine for me in Firefox, too. It's very strange (the new game) but I like it!! Except that it makes me hungry. :lol:

Yes, that one is really attractive, all mosaic-y and neat. Kinda mopey-looking, though.

Edited to rectify egregious double posting maneuver

one thing i found when the keyboard is non-responsive, is that if you keep the mouse on the game screen, the keystrokes will get through. i have to do that to play jelly blobs on my lappy :roll:

That kinda surprised me a bit

Nothing on Altador yet... I know this is rather obvious, but I thought I might just point it out. :P

I get the feeling we might be waiting a while for this next one... but thats for the Altador board, isnt it.

BTW - I had that problem with Firefox, couldn't play Meerca Chase for a while. It seems to have sorted itself out, however.
