David Archuleta to Launch a New Online Game

By On 01/26/2009 · 35 Comments · In Uncategorized

David Archuleta is about to launch a new online game, and you can help name it.   Here are the deets, from his MySpace.

Hey everyone! David is about to launch an awesome online game but needs your help – it doesn’t have a name yet! The game will basically be a board game and by finding codes on websites and other places you’ll be able to move through the board. Along the way you’ll get to hear from David himself and if you make it to the end you’ll be eligible to win a grand prize. What should it be called? Email davidarchuletagame@gmail.com with the subject “Game Title Submission”. If we pick your suggestion you’ll get a major shout-out on davidarchuleta.com. Deadline for all title entries is Friday, February 6th.

Also, in his newest blog update, David talks about attending the Adele/James Morrison concert in Murray, Utah, attending the Senior Ball at his high school, and looping some dialog (that’s what it sounds like they were doing) with Miranda Cosgrove for the iCarly episode that will be airing on Nickelodeon on February 7.

Check it out, after the JUMP…

Hi all. David here with another blog. So this week I got to go to the Adele concert!! Adele is amazing amazing amazing amazing, and she sounds so good live! James Morrison opened up for her, and he sings with so much soul. It’s so weird to see him perform because white people usually don’t sing like that haha. But anyway, I loved how Adele didn’t move around a whole lot when she performed. She was all about the voice, and didn’t try to change that. What’s also cool is that it was at the Murray Theater in Murray, my home town! A few of my friends came with me too, so good times haha.

This Saturday was another extremely exciting day, because I got to go to Senior Ball at my high school!! I didn’t think I’d ever get another chance to go to a school dance, but I asked management and they gave the ok and made time in the schedule for me to go. I had soooo much fun! For our day activity, we had breakfast and then played games. We fit in a lot of them too. We played dodge ball, basketball, musical chairs, apples to apples, and crab soccer. I got a good work out from the crab soccer too haha. We rocked out at the dance too, and even though I sweat so bad it was worth it.
The girl I got to go with was awesome too. After the dance we all watched Mall Cop, but I kept falling asleep lol. I was so tired.

And I had to wake up early in the morning anyway for a flight.

So yesterday, we flew back down to LA, and I did some things for Nickelodeon with Miranda Cosgrove. It was something that involved more lines to say, haha. So I was really nervous before we started, but once we got going I had so much fun! It felt like Miranda and I just hung out all day long, and she’s such a nice girl. But yeah, the lines were for Crush Night that’s coming up on February 7th! The day of my acting debut.. when the episode of iCarly I’m on airs. It really is so much fun working with all of them on that show. I wasn’t sure if I’d get to work with them anytime soon, so when I heard I was going to be working with Miranda Sunday, I was pumped! haha. But yeah, I’ll stop talking about that and save it for the week it comes on. But keep that on your calendars! It’s a big day haha. Well for me anyway. But yeah I wrote an awfully lot in this blog. But it was a big weekend! Adele, the school dance, and Miranda all in 3 days. But I will post some pictures for you guys. Bye bye.

    I think is cute that he got to go to his Senior Ball,it seem like it was really fun, I hope he is getting some time off to study… Is just me or the fact that he was falling sleep doesn ´t speak to well of the movie, specially since is a comedy…

    I also like how much he can be a fanboy of other artists, that “Oh great Adele” and “James Morrison FTW” is really fun…

    And I oficially have give up in shipping him with Miranda, she is to young… I think Archie needs a girl his age, and this made me wonder who he took to the ball, he seem rather happy that have being able to go with her… maybe love is in the air for Archie…

    The game see, fun… maybe “The Archquest”… I don ´t know…

  • gemzone

    celeste I hope you e=-mailed the name to the gmail address that is a cute name for the game.

  • KathyH

    Archuquest is good, cruzcelete! I’ve heard a few others, but they weren’t my ideas so I can’t share. Can’t wait to see how ‘the game’ plays out.

    And I said this elsewhere, but I love his latest blog. As usual.

    I can’t imagine having the schedule he has and NOT being tired. Heck I can’t imagine not being tired after this all-day dance date that included dodge ball, board games, the dance and THEN a movie. I only ever spent that much time with a date after they’d progressed to boyfriend status.

  • abbysee

    Aww David. He fell asleep during Mall Cop, lol. Now I know why I like him so much, discerning young man, sleep was certainly a better choice, bwah. Glad he got to see James Morrison and Adele. Good music, good learning experiences.

  • soundscene

    Heck I canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t imagine not being tired after this all-day dance date that included dodge ball, board games, the dance and THEN a movie. I only ever spent that much time with a date after theyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d progressed to boyfriend status.

    Must be a group all-day date that is fairly common in some communities (I think it’s called a marathon date or something). Somebody explained it once to me, but they start really early and go all day long, and although couples are paired up, the group does everything together as a whole. They do all sorts of activities together during the day. When David was explaining painting pottery before one of his other school dances in that J-14 video, I think that was another one of those all-day dates.

  • spencer

    Hi cruzceleste! I luv the “Archquest”.. you should definitely submit it. Hoping I will be fully “mended” by 2/26 so I can go see David in Sayreville, NJ. Luv that he’s been blogging often :-) )

  • hermy

    lol. This blog made me laugh so much for some reason. He’s been pretty busy lately :) . It’s great that he got to go to his senior dance. It’s funny to read how weird his life is right now; concerts, high school, sports, dances, and an LA trip in 3 days, lol.

  • ozarka

    Jab and Cruz, those are great ideas for the game name.

    “Dà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢Arch – The Search for the Mini HaHaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s”… this got me thinking about this really cute cartoon I saw today at FOD of a parade of Davids in his various outfits during the AI show. Even the hairdos seem to be true to each respective episode. The artist is named Andrew (sorry I don’t know his last name)…

    http://fansofdavid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/david-cute.jpg

    I think the sad-faced David was when he sang “We Can Work It Out.” LOL!

  • Jabkmc

    Ozarka -

    If you go here

    http://idolforums.com/index.php?showtopic=589995

    You can pull each individual cartoon DA. Andrew says you can use them however you want so long as you don’t profit. He’s going to be doing many, many more. The rest of AI, the AI tour, etc. But he’s on an important “real life” project right now and it will be a week or so before he updates.

  • ozarka

    Thanks Jab. That’s good to know. Andrew is very talented. He must have been the one who did those cute water bottles.

    Here are some NEW PICS from the iCarly show.

  • http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=587900002&ref=name cruzceleste

    Those cartoons are made by a very talented guy, he did the bcartoon for Archie becuse he was a fan, when everybody started using his cartoon of Archie in the tour he was very happy, remember when Michael Johns drank from a bottle with the cartoon in it in UTAH, he was very happy… :clap_tb:

    Then somebody gave Archie a bottle with his cartoon on it, and Archie showed it to Cook, and Cook said that he wanted one too… next tour stop, somebody gave Cook a bottle with Archie ´s cartoon on it… :laugh_tb:

    then he made cartoons of all the 7 season Idols and gave a copy of their on cartoon to all of them…

  • Jabkmc

    Cruz – Here’s the rest of the Season 7 idols he did. Love them all…but Cook, Johns and Archie’s are my faves. hah!

    You know–I’ve admired David A as a singer and as an adorable guy, but I’ve never been jealous of him, until now. He has such a great life. Great concert (nearby too), great games, great dance, great friends, great movie, great trip to LA, great day with Miranda. So jealous.

    Thank you for finding them Jab… I like them a lot, Archie ´s my favorite, is just too cute…

  • Lys

    Great concert (nearby too), great games, great dance, great friends, great movie, great trip to LA, great day with Miranda.

    Well, I don’t know about the “great movie” part, but I agree with all that rest of those, lol. I’m really glad he’s been able lately to fit some fun, random things into that hectic schedule of his. It’s just nice to know he hasn’t been running himself completely ragged. :smile1_tb:

  • LK09

    Soundscene,

    I don’t know if they do it in other places but it is quite common in Utah for a group (paired, but with 2 or more couples) to ask out their date elaborately- they make up some cute rhyme with some items that go with it and doorbell ditch the girl (they ring the doorbell and then run). The girl then answers by doing something related that is cute or the other way around if it is a girl’s choice dance.

    Then they do some activity, which they call a day date- it could be ice blocking or skating, a movie, rock climbing, etc. Then if it is the same day, they drop the girls off and they all go get ready. Then they pick up their dates and go to dinner and then the dance.

    It ends up being quite elaborate but the kids love it.

    KathyH- often, they barely know each other but they are just there to have fun. If it is a boy’s choice date, they go as a group of friends and they often will ask girls that know each other, so they are comfortable or even, they will go with their group of friends.

    ^That sounds like a cute way to date LK09, thanks for the info…

  • KathyH

    Thanks for the information, LK09 and Soundscene. I am learning much thanks to my status as David Archuleta fan, and think this type of date is a great idea for that age. (And I suppose I should have clarified that by the time I spent this amount of time with a boyfriend, I was a few years older than 18; and by the time David wrote about his marathon date in his blog and made me weary to think about such a day, I was many, many, many years older than 18. :wink1_tb:)

  • shell29

    I agree with cruzceleste, that does sound very cute and fun! We didn’t have a “senior ball” during my senior year of high school-only prom in May, and most of my prom day was spent at the hair salon breathing in nail polisher remover and hairspray fumes (ahhh memories). Anyway, it sounds like Archie had a great weekend, and I’ll bet he’s excited to get back on the road again soon on his very own tour! If he were coming anywhere near me, I would have gone to one of his shows.

  • ladymadonna

    I think this is a really interesting strategy to promote David A. It’s great to see labels getting creative and embracing new technology as a way to increase interaction between an artist and their audience. The music industry has already dug itself into a tremendously deep hole by ignoring new trends and trying to stick to a distribution and promotional model that is clearly outdated. They’re playing catch-up now, but tactics like Archie’s online game, iPhone apps, Twitter/Facebook/blogging, SMS messaging, etc are starting to change the game a bit. I like it.

  • ozarka

    David posted some new pics on his MySpace from his dinner at Senior Ball, the Adele/Morrison concert, and the Nickelodean gig. He looks great in the tux and Benihana chef’s hat.
