Ditto is in the Avalon Catacombs in Wizard101!
Ditto is deep in the catacombs of Avalon, fighting goblins to find the Catacombs key for the Lady of the Lake! Ditto hasn’t played Wizard101 much lately so this is supposed to be a ‘get back into it slowly’ kind of fight, but it doesn’t really work out that way, naturally… these storm enemies toss out some big guns early on!! As part of his new strategy, Ditto is starting to rely on shields more than he did before, that’s for sure.
Contest – Spooky Wizard101 Stories with Ditto!
It’s October, which is Ditto’s FAVORITE time of year – it’s a favorite or all monsters really! And of course, it’s a GREAT time of year in Wizard101 – they have so many fun Halloween themed events, with Spooky Bob’s quests, great costumes, and the Halloween-themed nightmare packs including the brand-new ‘Harrowing Nightmare Pack’! It is also a great time for Halloween contests, and Ditto has a fun one! Ditto loves spooky stories, and wants to hear some of your story ideas, but with a Wizard101 twist. Like, instead of ‘The Headless Horseman’ it could be ‘The Headless Gobbler’, or instead of ‘Frankenstein’ maybe ‘Dworgynstein’ – you get the idea.
So send me your Wizard101 ‘Spooky Story’ title and a brief sentence of what the story is about! Send it to dittocontest@gmail.com with the subject ‘Spooky Story’, and please make sure you include your wizard name! The contest runs from now until Midnight EST on Saturday, October 25th. Winners will be announces on Sunday October 26th.
Captain Ditto returns to Pirate101 – with a costume and a Twitter contest!!
Captain Ditto triumphantly returns to Pirate101!! Yes, I know it has been a while, you know I’ve had bronchitis and stuff, but it is GREAT to be back with and all new videos and a fun new contest!!
Here is the Video:
And here is the contest!
As you can see from the video, Ditto is really getting into Halloween with a great new mask – very spooky!! Well, Ditto wants to see YOUR costumes – so sent me a screenshot of your Pirate101 Character dressed for Halloween – either with a mask or costume, or just a special outfit or even a fun hat – whatever you’ve got! And this is a Twitter contest – so tweet your costume screen shot to @dittowizard this weekend with the hashtag #dittopirate (Between now and Sunday night, 8pm EST) and I’ll pick five random entries to win a Pirate101 Halloween Prize pack that includes a Rainbow Friendship mask (white, but can be dyed) and 2,000 crowns! I’ll be giving the prizes out over the whole weekend at random times, with the last one being handed out Sunday night. Remember – tweet to Ditto with the hashatg #dittopirate some time this weekend for chance to win!
Ditto’s Pirate101 ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day’ contest winners!!
As the story goes, Captain Ditto and his crew of scurvy dogs was followin’ a treasure map they found in a box o’ breakfast cereal, and sailed their way into a spooky hidden cove surrounded by dark jungles and ancient stone ruins. As they sailed slowly in, eyes peeled for danger, their ship was rocked by an attack from below, and Ditto and his crew suddenly found themselves face to face with…
I have to say, once again I am blown away by the creativity of my fans, and you always make contests like this really hard to judge. I loved so many of your entries and pictures, this was a really fun one! As I said in the contest, I’ve chosen my favorites for the top six (Grand prize and five second place) and then the remaining ten are chosen by random drawing.
And the grand prize winner is… Captain Maeve Noble and the monster Goldilox!! I have to admit, the idea of a giant mutant goldfish amuses me, and I loved the write up! Congratulations to Captain Maeve!! (more…)
Ditto’s feeling a bit under the weather…
To those of you asking about new gameplay videos and ‘Daring Adventures’ episodes, I just wanted to let everyone know Ditto’s got a cold – nothing serious, don’t worry – but I basically have no voice and I’ve been dealing with coughing fits, so recording anything is pretty much a no-go until I feel a bit better.
Feeling Yucky…
Thanks again to everyone who has reached out, and I’ll back up and posting soon – and in the mean time I have a fun contest going on for Pirate101. As always, have fun and play safe!!!

Hast Thou Slain The Jabberwock? Wizard101 Boss Fight!
In Avalon there is a quest series, based on the Lewis Carol poem ‘Jabberwocky‘, and the highlight of this quest series is a boss fight with the dreaded Jabberwock himself – a cheating, 25,000 health, fire school boss monster. It’s a crazy fight, to be sure, and I tried it four times in varying ways before I finally got some proper help. Today, Christina LionRider and Hunter BlueRider joined me and together, after a VERY long time, we took out the mighty beast!

Weekend Wizard101 quest fun – Clearing the Cobwebs!
So in celebration of Wizard101’s Sixth birthday, I have been playing a lot more recently, and as I was looking for quests to do on Friday I realized that I had between four and five pages of ‘old’ quests like the Stone Roses in Dragonspyre, Zafarian history books quest, and even the Marleybone ‘Spiral Key’ tower (I didn’t have to do that one to get into Celestia) that I hadn’t yet finished. It became my mission to clear every single non-Avalon quest out there, and I got really close! I think all I have left is one Trogg in Wintertusk and one fish (Bearracuda) in Grizzleheim, and that’s it – the rest are all Avalon!
Avalon Quests
It was actually a lot of fun going back to do the older quests – some of them were still pretty challenging, and it was nice to revisit some of the old haunts…. Celestia was especially nice – I still think the design there is really beautiful, and I love the story and the overall quest layout. It was fun going toe to toe with Stellar Defenders and evil fish people again!
So that’s it – a fun little diversion before the big push to finish Avalon, a nice time during the rainier parts of the holiday weekend.

Ditto the Monster does the ALS #IceBucketChallenge
Donate to http://alsa.org
So Ditto has been challenged to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by the Light family, who did a really great job with their Ice Bucket challenge, and so Ditto has to do it too. However, since Ditto likes to both educate AND entertain, I did some research with the ALS Association and found out some information about this disease.
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the function of nerves and muscles – It can affect speech and movement, and it keeps getting worse the longer you have it. ALS occurs throughout the world, with no racial, ethnic, or economic boundaries, and lots more work is needed to determine what genetics and/or environmental factors contribute to developing ALS (more…)

Captain Ditto and the Quest of the Random Pirate101 Quests!
Captain Ditto and crew are journeying around The Spiral trying to complete some old random quests that had been sitting around in Ditto’s quest journal… there’s some stuff with bananas, and berry bushes, and all kinds of things… It’s actually fun going back and revisiting previous areas and finishing up old quest lines I had forgotten about – and I have to admit, questing in areas that are a few levels below me gives me an extra boost of confidence. (Until I get back to Cool Ranch soon, of course… )
It’s Arrrgust in Pirate101, and Ditto has a Treasure Hunt contest!!!
Aye Matey’s, it be Arrrgust in The Spiral, time to celebrate with fun, Yum, and lots of treasure!! To celebrate, Captain Ditto has hidden a great bounty somewhere in The Spiral, and he’s giving out clues to where he hid it in this all-new Arrrgust contest.
Ditto goes Fishing in Wizard101
Ditto finally does a new Wizard101 Gameplay video!!! To go with his fun fishing contest, Ditto does a video about the new fishing system in Wizard101. He catches a couple fish, then tries to put fish in a fishtank in his house – that does not go well for some reason… hmmmm
I DID figure out the whole ‘fish in the fishtank’ issue – I probably should have looked into that before the video, but that’s OK. To get a fish in the fishtank you have to match the fish with the fishtank; the fish in your inventory will actually say ‘This fish requires XYZ fishtank when you mouse over the little fishtank icon on the fish’s picture.
Here’s how you figure out what fishtank you need:

To celebrate this fun new pastime, Ditto has an all new contest with great fishing related prizes! What can you win? Check this out!!!

Captain Ditto does Frogfather a Favor in Pirate101
Captain Ditto needs to gather more ingredients, and goes to the FrogFather to get some Grumwort – because of course, our good friend the FrogFather controls all the trade of said herb in the Skull Island area… or a least he DID.
Ditto has to help the FrogFather by finding a henchman who betrayed him, to ‘teach him the error of his ways’… Yeah, it gets messy – but it’s fun, too!!
New Gameplay Video – Captain Ditto battles an Aztecasaur Mummy in Scaly Grotto! #pirate101
Captain Ditto is seeking special ingredients for… something or other, who can remember with all these crazy quests!! So Captain Ditto and crew head to Scaly Grotto to do fearsome battle with the mummy and some spooky ghosts! It was a great battle, lots of fun!
Captain Ditto gets a new ship and meets with Sister Snake again… yikes!
After making Level 26, Ditto gained access to a new ship – a ghostly galleon! – and it is AWESOME!!! My crew appear almost competent sailing this gorgeous and spooky ship, and it does short work of all the bandits and others who try and pick a fight with us!!
And finally, Captain Ditto returns to Sister Snake with the snake fangs from Flying Snake, and she says everything is cool and that the bison are OK now and stuff, so mission accomplished I guess… I’m just glad I don’t have to deal with that snake again… or do I? Dun dun dunnn….
