Neopets 2010 Advent Calendar Day Thirteen: The Winter Starlight Celebration Takes a Dark Turn

Even though the 13^th of December didn't fall on a Friday, TNT still pulled out all the stops for the Advent Calendar. Today I received 555 Neopoints, a wickedly awesome "Hubrid Nox Brucicle" and the wearable "Hubrid Nox Mustache". There are some sweet edible Brucicle treats with a spooky theme ("Haunted Brucicle", "Skullberry Brucicle") and this one makes for a great addition to the theme. You have to see it up close to appreciate the detail to it but suffice it to say, this is going to be a great seller for Halloween as well as something that people are going to want to get if they have a spooky gallery, collect Brucicle items or are a fan of Nox.

We are almost at the half way point of the Winter Starlight Celebration and so far I am pretty pleased with the gifts that have been given out. Getting two new items a day and some extra NP is sweet but if you haven't joined in the celebration yet, it runs through the end of the month. Where is the Advent Calendar? You can find it at the Winter Starlight Celebration portal or at the base of Terror Mountain or just click here to go to it. This is limited to your main account so don't get greedy and try to collect on side accounts; it's not worth getting your account frozen.

Key Quest is still having some problems; even when I have a stellar internet connection it still stalls or freezes. Part of that could be the Battledome traffic with the Faeries' Ruin plot step or just an outdated platform for the game. Whatever the case, trying to get a game to complete is more frustration than its worth at this point in time. It would be nice to redeem some keys to get some of the Winter Prizes but I am not going through what I went through with the Halloween promotion. I'll stick with sniping cheap things from the Shop Wizard and play my usual games to make NP.
