Labor Day Weekend Sale: Day 2

With a multitude of items made limited, put on sale, and new versions of old gear, there is something for everyone (provided you have a small amount of robux). I will be listing the items that are featuring in this catalog sale and will be giving them a rating and a recommendation as to whether I would purchase them or not. Of course, as I am writing this in the opinionated style of a reviewer, you may take this in the subjective manner that is intended. You are welcome to make your own decisions on whether a sale item is for you or not. I will just be aiming to look for good value-for-money traits. So let us get into this second overview!

Labor Day Weekend Sale: Day 1

So it's the first day of the Labour Day Weekend sale and it is already off to a good start. With a multitude of items made limited, put on sale, and new versions of old gear, there is something for everyone (provided you have a small amount of robux). I will be listing the items that are featuring in this catalog sale and will be giving them a rating and a recommendation as to whether I would purchase them or not.

Meet razecpt, Your New Intern!

Hello, I’m razecpt a summer intern here at Roblox News.


 I found roblox back in 2010 when I saw a friend playing it, So I made an account. As soon as I started I got hooked to the idea of user made games. So I made several accounts finally settling on razecpt. I played lots of games back then: Flight simulators, Obbys (it got old really fast), tycoons and First Person Shooters. Now I’m more of a builder.

Editorial: Overall Impressions of the Summer Games

So it's nearly been a month since the ROBLOX Summer Games ended and it's about time I shared my thoughts on the event: both the positive and negatives aspects which users and myself have noted. I will be breaking down my thoughts on the different sections that made up the Summer Games, including: the user-sourced games chosen, the gameplay, the prizes, and of course the somewhat controversial use of playerpoints and an exclusive leaderboard system to calculate winners. During this article, I will be making some comparisons to other official ROBLOX events, but please note I will be judging the event purely on its own merits.


Before we dig in, let us first take a step back and discuss the background of the event itself. Following in the footsteps of the largely successful ROBLOX Winter Games which could be played throughout February 2014, the Summer Games sought to build on its achievements. This Summer's event utilised the new 'Playerpoints' introduced by the ROBOX team - points earned in-game, distributed by the developer as they see fit for in-game activities and achievements. Each game has a pot of playerpoints to distribute, with the exact number of points dictated by the amount of Robux spent by players on things such as game passes and consumables. This means the playerpoints pots can de facto run-out, an issue I will be covering later in this editorial. Playerpoints earned are displayed on player profiles next to the white star symbol and players are placed on a leaderboard for weekly, monthly, and all-time playerpoint scores. The key similarity with the Winter Games is that the games chosen were user-created. The main difference is that these games were not purpose built for the Summer Games like some of those featured in the Winter Games, but already existed before the event. However, that's enough background. Time to get into the editorial!

Interns: Purple vs. Green

We're all looking forward to meeting our interns, and possible future staff. When you saw the intern post you probably thought 'same old same old' - but actually, this year there is a twist! Intrigued? You should be..

SmashBlox: The New Platformer on the Block

The platformer-fighter game genre is relatively new, only being around since 1999, yet it's now one of the most beloved and recognizable game types of all time. Haven't heard of it? Maybe you've heard of Super Smash Bros - the first, most successful, and arguably best platformer-fighter which takes memorable characters from Nintendo franchises (and some third party), pits them against each other on a multitude of stages with references to all of the deep corners of Nintendo's history.

Changes for the Worst - Info

Hello, this is just telling everyone a few things about the CfoW Weekly articles. I just want to set a couple of things straight to start this article.

Firstly, for the FSA article I did point out that it was a personal experience, and I was hurt by being exiled. I also would like to say, although I got my rank quickly, I still put time and effort in to help the group and by a week or so later, I had already earned it properly.

Secondly, I don't mind getting hate, I see it as no big deal. Yet, although hate is no biggie, using cuss words and swear words is not welcome on the Roblox News website, so please refrain from using them.

Alright, the Changes for the Worst Weekly articles are a brand new thing brought in only this Tuesday. I, obviously, cannot just randomly pick a group and criticize it. Instead, I need YOU to send in stories from your own personal experiences and I will choose one on a weekly basis to upload onto here as an article.

Remember, the topic must be either about:-
The Leader going/gone corrupt
HRs AA'ing/Bullying/etc
Groups deteriorating as a whole

Thank you, that is all. Please send in your personal experiences NOW! - Do this via PM'ing Prolixen.

I need to get some Private Messages please!
