This was THE best Club Penguin party. NO question.

To quote The Office, "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them." I loved this party and 2012 Club Penguin as a whole so much, I miss when it was like that

This is where boys became men, men became heroes, and heroes LEGENDS

headphones are legally required at this point

0:52 instant goosebumps, nostalgia came flying in

This music is brilliant. At the beginning you hear this very oppressive and sinister tone, like everything that could’ve gone wrong has, and that everything is lost... however around 0:52, the tone shifts into a more hopeful and heroic tone, like there are still people (or in this case Penguins) who haven’t given up hope. Quite the plot for a kids game.

Ngl operation blackout was the sickest moment of my life

I LOVE this party. This was such a massive tonal shift when it happened from everything that had come before, and as a 6 year old, this was legitimately terrifying. Watching the sky grow darker and the Island grow colder filled my 6-year old self with an all-consuming sense of dread that I'm not sure I've ever felt since. I remember I really thought this could the end for Club Penguin, and everyone at my school thought the same thing, and we would spend the whole recess making desperate plans to take Herbert down. Most of all, I love the feeling it created in me back then. A feeling of awe, dread, anticipation, and terror all at the same time, and whenever any piece of media can create that feeling in me again, It'll definitely become one of my favorite things ever.

I remember logging in every darn day to complete this. And when I could, I did it like ten times.

Best. Party. Ever. Don't even bother questioning it.

Okay, but why is this so epic?

I love how part of the music is the EPF Command room but now in a serious, life-or-death tone. It really highlights how important this is

Hands down the best party Club Penguin EVER had. I’m so fortunate that I got to experience it. Waddle on, y’all.

you ever notice that if they ever play the entirety of the EPF leitmotif, it means somethings serious, and operation blackout has it all over (while in places like the normal HQ its always just in parts)

I'm so happy to being on Club Penguin for Operation Blackout!

god, best party of all. One of the best songs from this game. I'm not crying. your crying

My childhood!!! I can remember when I was eager to play more, but had to wait till the next day for a new mission!!

0:52 IS WHEN IT GETS REAL BRO!!!

The one dislike is from Herbert.

Entering Area 51: 0:08 Leaving Area 51: 0:52

anybody else realize the epf theme sounds like smoke on the water? 0:52

0:52 this part always gives me the motive to just play a game in full power makes me feel like im unstoppable

This game defined the definition of everyone's childhood.

Pure nostalgia. 10/10 song. now I'm sad I can't do this mission again.

Me: *cries in 2023 with 6 shut down Club Penguin servers*

the best event.

This one was the best CP party ever. You can't change my mind.

*Ok, now this is epic.*

This music is awesome!

0:54

Everybody gangster until the EPF walks in.

Rip Club Penguin🥺. I miss these days

Este no era solo el mejor evento por tener esta musica de bajo brutal o el hecho que cada vez el mapa entre mas tiempo pasaba el evento mas apocaliptico abandonado y a veces "creepy" se veia si no tambien por el hecho que este (aunque al final su objetivo no se cumplio) era la primera victoria de un villano en club penguin (y tal vez la unica) como primer paso obvio esta y mas se siente por el hecho que durante antes de este evento herbert era el tipico villano de pacotilla que hace un plan , lo lleva a la acción y falla al ultimo segundo ,pero verlo en este estilo asaltando la base de sus enemigos ,secuestrandolos como hombre de saco para ponerlos en maquinas de criogenización era superar las expectativas llevando a un escenario donde este tipo ya tenia toda la victoria saldada y en bandeja de plata era algo brutal para la trama literalmente sentias que todo el destino y futuro de la isla dependia de apagar esa maquina antes que el nos apagara para siempre (ahi va el nombre de "operación apagon") obviamente despues esto se cumplio los pasos de villano de pacotilla (hacer un plan,llevarlo a la acción,fallar en el ultimo segundo) y obviamente despues de este evento se nerfeo a este hertbert intelligente pero suicida por el bien de la trama (y la clasificación de edad) no volviendo nunca mas a esa fase aunque de todas formas fuimos recompensados al final de este evento por la revelación maxima de todas (como tambien plot twist) que tia artic era la fundadora y lider de la EPF y lo de herbert suicida lo pongo ya que ¿hubiera pasado si lograba su objetivo? Ya que matar de hipotermia a toda la isla y dejarla sin vida solo para tener un lugar para ti no era la cosa mas intelligente del mundo si tu tambien serias parte de ello... *Pero larga vida al mejor evento que haya existido en club penguin* Y feliz 10 anniversario . (Y tambien de ser afortunado de haber estado ahi durante ese tiempo).

E for everyone Also club penguin Herbert knocks out Gary Everybody: lmao Me with 10 years: HOLY CRAP

No game will EVER have an event like Operation Blackout

music team did not have to pop off like this

i used to have the old epf game on my ds so hearing a metal version of the theme is all the hype i need

The best thing about this party was the build up with the EPF missions

This music is marvellous, I can't explain why, just gives me goosebumps.

I miss the good ol’ times, when CP was going through an identity crisis, when parties had clean, sophisticated vector looks and main rooms had old raster graphics in a completely different artstyle

This soundtrack basically tells us it was time to put our EPF agent skills for greater and more serious use. Stuff was about to get darker than ever.

the HQ kicking back in full drive at 0:54 is just so awesome

I remember playing the mission and this banger being played in the background. Got so immersed. Rip Club Penguin

I missed out on so much in my childhood. I wish I hadn't missed so much of the amazingness, but parents-

God this was years ago but I remember doing this party and then giving up at the grappling hook part because I couldn’t figure it out afterwards... Wish I had finished

🎶That's how legends are made!🎵

DAMN I REMEMBER THIS AND STILL AS FUCKING GOOD AS YEARS AGO

memorials this was my inspiration to become a Special Ops soldier thanks for everything, long life to Operation Blackout and Club Penguin

IS a good music

Agent, *get ready.*

This is a trip of nostalgia

Loved this party

God I remember grinding the shit out of all the games for the EPF costumes Club Penguin really was peak gaming

They didn't have to make the song such a banger , but they did. We will always remember , thank you club penguin. 07

reminder that this is from club penguin

I think if you blasted this in a bus or subway people wouldnt be mad they would probaly put an agent clothing and do the club penguin dance lmao

Gotta say I was truly lucky to experience this

So much nostalgia

I'm so sad I missed this. I didn't know this event was happening

I wish i was around to experience this, i was around 4 when this happened and had no access to a computer. I really hope club penguin comes back

I remember meeting Herbert as a mascot.

I loved that party

No dislikes?? Finally a popular vid with no dislikes

*Riley is going down*

How I wish this game would come back

I don’t know why but this feels like it was just yesterday, but it was more than 10 years ago. This game is the link to my childhood and I absolutely love it. I was only 6 during this party but yet I still remember it. This just shows how much of an impact it had on me.

This makes me sad I didn't know about Club Penguid as a kid. I would have loved this

Rip club penguin rewritten;( Updated as of Mar.20 2021: It’s obviously back and I’m playing it!

Good memories.

Oh boy I miss CP so badly :(

The most badass music

2 dislikes = Hebert and his idiot crab TOTALLY CONFIRMED

00:53

For a game made for kids like 2-8 this actually hits hard.

Nostalgia attack.

if you played Club Penguin when you were young, then your childhood was AWESOME!

We need another Club Penguin. Not necessarily a CP… but another game like it. A game that captures the nostalgia, the idea, the freedom, the kid-friendly atmosphere, the fun, the expanse… we need Club Penguin, but more.

Legendary moment

The Best EPF Theme!

Epic

On March 2nd there were 2 dislikes herbert and klutzy have issues

epf agents never say die

Damn it really was this long ago

0:53 Smoke on the Water?

I think I remember participating in this event but never completed it 😭

Those 2 dislikes are from Herbert and klutzy

2 dislikes, Herbert and Klutzy.

You just had to be there

This pleases my "metal" ears. 😅

too nostalgic

❤

Starts with StarCraft Zerg vibes!!!!!

CP goes hard *5 minutes later THERE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING

Everyone in the comments: This was the best party ever! Me: Damn... wish I knew what Club Penguin was in 2012

Things just got serious... BUT SO DID I!
