Love Week: Love Note by Jean Royal



This week, we asked you, our readers, to send in your Love Notes, telling us what you love about Pico. We received 5 notes; thank you to those who sent in their photos and submissions.

Our second note is from Jean Royal, writer for Pico Life who is no stranger to submitting his thoughts to Picostyle. It's apparent that Jean is a shopaholic. Are you the same?




What I love in Pico is the variety of purchasable "stuff". I am sure almost all Picos have shopped until they dropped ... and ... why? Because everyone wants to spice up their look with unique items!

It's such a horrible thing to still be a Newbie and not have enough Gummies, Tokens or AmebaGold to buy clothes. I think 90% of the first 1,000 Gummies most people use first are used to buy clothes (in my case it's 100%).

Every item has different colors. It's totally impossible to find Picos wearing the same outfits (unless it's done on purpose).

I check everyday in hopes to wear the first brand name T-shirt or color trainers.

It's very unlikely that anyone can save up to 20,000 Gummies without spending ANY!

Trying not to buy furniture or color blocks is the same story. I actually tried to count the number of color blocks (not including special time travel-them blocks) and I counted more than 150 different blocks! I remember when I started Pico in November 2010 and there were only square and triangle blocks! Now we have the round, round edged, pyramid, clear, with flowers

I think it's great that each week - sometimes every day - new clothes and accessories, blocks and furniture are released. Shouldn't we all be grateful? Well, I am.

Another good thing to consider is that we have Quests. I don't know if Pigg has Quests yet, but were we were definitely the first to get them. I hope there's a new Quest in the plans so that we get rewarded with hot items. :D

Pico has now become (almost) as fun as Pigg and we should all give a round of applause to Ameba!

News: Jean Royal starts his own blog

Back in December, reader Jean Royal sent us a Pico Cribs article that he had written and taken photographs for. Jean visited the rooms of onogina, Benry, and ¶PЯ-¶⋛⋋紫紗姫系⋌⋚™, whose rooms all had a Christmassy flair at that time.

Jean was very interested in writing about his experiences in Pico and he was encouraged to keep writing.

Since January, Jean has started his own blog, Pico Life Blog, where he captures the Pico Life of himself and his sister Eulalie.

The blog has funny commentaries by Jean, comic strips of his adventures in Pico and lots of other game-related goodness.

It looks as though Jean is also looking for writers for his blog. In a January 5, 2010 blog post he writes:
As you may know, I'm the editor of PicoLife; & I would be pleased to recruit some reporters. So if you want to apply, please send me your Pico name, Real name, age, as well as an article that you wrote at picolifers@gmail.com. I will then try to make a Pico appointment with you.
Take a look at Jean's blog and Follow with Google Friend Connect or Facebook to keep up-to-date on new posts.

Congratulations and good luck with your new blog, Jean.

Pico Cribs #24 with Jean Royal

Written by:


Hello Picostylers! This is me, Jean Royal. Today, I've been hanging around and I saw 3 fantabulous Christmas themed rooms!

So here they are ...

Onogina Hotel, Restaurant & Maze
Room owner: onogina



Wow-wow-wow! That's the only thing that I can say. And did you notice the purple Christmas tree? I wish my room could be as nice.

Benry's Café
Room owner: Benry



Imagine, being in the snowy city. Then you find a warm café and walk inside. Doesn't coming in from the cold and getting warm and comfy make you smile? This café may not look very Christmassy ... but you can still notice the little Christmas tree in the corner.

Ask my friends; I don't usually go to cafés (I think they're boring), but I could easily see myself coming here see me here to listen to my iPod and do homework.

Pico Waterpark
Room owner: ¶PЯ-¶⋛⋋紫紗姫系⋌⋚™



And of course, this is my favorite. It's just SO creative! I wonder how many countless hours the owner of this room spent doing this.

Like the RO80 robots in the Flea Market that sell blocks say, 'It's time to be creative!'. I love the presents in the tree. It's different! And if you look closer you'll find a jukebox in the tree! Isn't that a great idea to add some atmosphere (maybe imitate the birds)?
