Brigand's Sword

Bloxy Cola

Ork Blade

—————————————————-

So what exactly is Gear?

Gear in my opinion is exactly like tools you get in games except that YOU KEEP GEAR WITH YOU EVERYWHERE!  That’s right, you buy it on the catalog, and that’s it. At all times you can use it in any game, just long as the game is gear friendly (meaning the game allows gear). So I could go and play “Bobba’s ultimate build” with the brigand sword, or maybe go to “Sword Fights on the Heights” with the Ork Blade. How awesome is that?

Currently you can only buy 3 pieces of gear; the Brigand sword, the Orc Blade, and Bloxy Cola. The Brigand sword is a hefty 100 bux, the Orc blade an even more expensive 150 bux, and Bloxy Cola, the cheapest, is priced at 50 bux. Too expensive you might think? But I say it’s worth it. After all,now you can pwn noobs in games more often, with the flick of a blade!

Gear can be used in all games that allow it.

Who knows what will come next in some weeks time? We may be able to buy Shotguns, guitars and loads more to keep with us Permanently. Just when reading this I think we should all say a quick thank you.

Before the review, I would like to give a big applaude to our new writer, AgentCG! He wrote this review and got the facts. Anything’s possible with my staff of writers!

——————————————————————— 

“The Video Game obby Course” has been seen on the front page of the game page for a while now, and has been visited quite a lot for an obsticle course. As we all know, most games on the front page are good, and your first thought is that this will be the same. But that may change…

The Overview 

Problems

     1.Personally I can see no problems myself except for the most obvious one, Mjolner the hammer. When I played there were three people at vip that seemed kind of new to ROBLOX. At the end of my testing, I was on the last obstacle trying to get to the end. I couldn’t get to vip/winners because they kept using the hammer. For all of you who don’t know what the hammer does, it makes a shockwave and kills all within about fifty studs. Not too easy to get past, eh?

     2. Another slight deterrent is that it has nothing to do with video games. It is just some video game characters at a normal obstacle you would find in any obsticle course.

Advantages

1. One advantage of the game here is that IT’S EASY! In fact, this is so surprisingly easy even a a newbie to ROBLOX could do it. 

The Ratings 

Game play

7 out of 10
It is really very easy. There is nothing to it, and as I said, a newbie could do it.

Creativity

5 out of 10
I’d like to give more, but I can’t because there is no real creativity except for some character designs. Each obstacle is only one colour.

Building

5 out of 10
Nothing much to it. I could build this.

Overall

7 out of 10
Not bad room for improvement. Tip to creator: maybe actually associate it with video game characters.

Player Type

Anyone. Anyone can play this; its that easy.

Ambassador Program

This is a new way to get tix that the developers have released, and even more, it includes a new badge! Here’s the overview:

———————————————

This programs inspires you to post links on other sites, verify it with them, and then earn more daily tix! The setup is easy.

1. First of all, copy the code the developers have provided and paste it on another site. It can be a profile, webpage, whatever, as long as you know what the link is. Remember, DON”T EDIT THE CODE! Your link will not be able to be found and you won’t earn tix.

2. Now after you have copied the link, making sure it is an exact replica of the original, go back the the ambassador program homepage, paste the link in the text field, and press submit link.

3. Now wait a few minutes for the program to find the link. Soon you will be approved!

But it said it couldn’t find it!

This is a common problem. First, make sure you copied the exact code into the site. If that isn’t the problem, them make sure the link provided is correct. But if that still doesn’t work, them make sure the most important thing, the link, shows at all!

The badge

Finally for the badge. You get it for making 6 or more tix in one day by having at least 3 links in your inventory. Also, this badge is a awesome addition to your profile!

Other Updates

One can’t help but marvel at another scientific discovery: new colors! Instead of the previous 3o colors, we have a new, mighty, 62! This is a defiant help, especially if you have been having trouble finding colors for your new places.

     Whoa, back up there. Did I just say plastic? Something else the developers have released is that bricks look brighter, and brick stubs are more squarish looking. Unfortunally, the brighter brick color and 2-d stubs makes ROBLOX games look a little less realisitc. “Plastic” bricks actually do look like plastic. And some games have lost their touch.  Take these pictures and compare them.

Before Update

After Update

Recently, Roblox has discovered a virus script known as an Anti-Lag script.  Now, everyone knows that those Anti-Lag scripts don’t work, but they were just automatically put in our models, bricks and scripts. Dued1 (creator of the Anti-Lag script) decided to play around with the scripts. But his tinkering turned out to be for a bad reason.

In the result, after a certain amount of time, messages start saying things like “SPAM SPAM SPAM”, “Destruction to Roblox”, and more. This screws up the game and you have to probably use task manager or exit quickly to get out of the game.

So how can you get rid of these? There are scripts out there that are used to get rid of these messages and the scripts. In the Roblox catalog search for “Anti-Lag script remover, “infection script remover,” or something similar. Afterward, PUT THESE IN ALL MODELS THAT ARE INFECTED! It does not work if you just put it in your game and just leave it there.

     So now onto the gravy. As most of you (well hopefully all of you) have noticed, ROBLOX has gotten a new theme! Instead of a boring old white background, it has been mixed up and turned into a nice shade of blue. This helps the site’s feel and look, which can potentially bring in more users. And best yet, it reminds you of the sky, which reminds you of outside, and (hopefully) reminds you to go outside a fews hours a day. Not bad, eh?

      Also, the front page is ALOT less cluttered and more orderly, with a few new perks here and there. A “Featured Game” widget has been added to the front page, no doubt due the the many complaints to get, as some users state, good games onto the front page. There is a neat little fact icon on the side of the front page, with fun facts about ROBLOX. Who knew that the average bid for a user-run banner ad is 1887 tickets?

One noticable improvment is to ROBLOX Studio and games. When you go into either of these programs, the screen is greatly shrinked. Although this helps extend your view, it can have you straining your eyes alot.

So whether you think this was a good update or not, you can agrre that it was big! I hope mixing in a little humor helps to convince you to read more.

But even with this slow down, users still started trading more. Finally, the server just couldn’t take it. The whole system broke down, and users who attempted to trade lost there trade money without getting any back. The administrators had to work extra hours to get it fixed, and now the roblEX is working fine.

Many people were complaining about lost money, but the administators assured these people that they would get a refund. 

It just goes to show you: if you ever start your own website, make sure the servers can handle it.
