Christmas Gift Guessers: Bewitching Gift of Santa

Okay. So, I'm here. You all missed me, I know, but I'm back for my finale Gift Guesser this year. You're stuck with nitro, ray, Arb, or somebody else for the next one (sorry). Anyways, today's gift was the second to last one, and if you ask me, It's probably the most obvious one. I honestly think this is the gift that gives the admins, their new nickname of "Fun-Hating Grinches," because, well, the whole GIFT is pretty much completely spoiled in the description.
WHHHHY?

Okay, the name doesn't spoil anything, but it is spoiled in the description
Heh, notice the corner with the three different monsters merging into each other?

Okay, it's theory time! Wait, wha-? The gift is completely spoiled in the description?
OR IS IT?
Nah, it probably is, but knowing ROBLOX, things aren't always as they seem.

Pb's Theory #1: Fully Complete the Witching Hour

As like, 80% of this post has been about, this gift is practically fully spoiled in the description. "The town is indebted to you, Great Bloxxer. Bloxhilda will never bother us again! Or will she ..." Okay, COME ON. If you don't understand how you get this gift just from that, you're either not very smart, or you just weren't here for the Witching Hour. And if you weren't, all you missed was a mash of a 20,000 x 20,000 studs map with tons of unique structures like houses, houses, rectangular mountains, swamps, houses, rivers, and houses.
Oh yeah, did I mention there were houses?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So you just ran around completing quests for admins spread too far apart that it took like 20 minutes to get to each one. You completed completely random and obnoxious quests like retrieving a bunch of marbles for Frankenstein to get dolls of glory called BLOXikins that somehow harnessed the power to defeat a giant evil witch that needs to go on a diet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways, back to the gift. If you have two eyes and know how to read, you'd see that the description is about you brutally murdering Bloxhilda. So, to get the gift, you just had to kill Bloxhilda and beat the Witching Hour. I'm guessing ROBLOX ran out of ideas for gifts when they made this, seeing as how we already got 31 BLOXikins, OBTH, and tons of other prizes for our 20,000 x 20,000 stud adventure. Oh well. More for me.

Pb's Theory #2: Own the BLOXikins for Brighteyes, Shedletsky, Ostrichsized, and Fusroblox

Gift of the Prime Nexus' Texture
Okay, so, when I suddenly found this gift using totally reliable sources and nothing unlegit, there was no description, so I thought using the texture as a reference, "hmmm... vampires, mummies, and frankensteins on the texture.." Soo, using my amazing memory skills of a giant event that happened like a month ago, I remembered that in the event, each admin had a random costume. Brighteyes and Shedletsky were vampires, Ostrichsized was a mummy, and Fusroblox was Frankenstein.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This secondary theory is highly unlikely, and, I mean, if you completed what I said in Theory #1, you completed this too. This is really just to make the people that gave up on the giant event feel good about abandoning something that results in an outrageous amount of prizes.
And hey, who said hints can't be in the texture?  

Darkgenex's Theory:

"The gift will require you to find all of the 2013 eggs."
Not sure why I put this here, but hey, It's my last post, why not spice it up a bit?

Thanks for Reading!
And no, I'm not quitting RN, this is my last Giftguessers post, and I had a lot of fun with them.

The Witching Hour Prizes: Overview

With the closing of The Witching Hour, there are obviously prizes as we are aware now. Without further ado, let's get on with it;

Halloween Checkered Bow Tie (1 Bloxikin)


Exactly as it says, this nicely done bow tie was given to anyone who collected at least one bloxikin in the game. A great prize for minimal effort in the Witching Hour, making the process of performing just a few quests a rewarding one.



Spookoween Hat (5 Bloxikins)

This.. slightly worse quality than the bow tie hat was rewarded to those who got 5 bloxikins, hooray? The texture and design is okay, but the mesh is a bit odd. I think it's supposed to be a bowler? I can't quite be sure of this.



Amethyst Vampire Collar (10 Bloxikins)


Purple colored version of the vampire collar works quite well with some of the higher-tiered prizes and other hats. This hat mesh is great as a whole to use in combos with shades and scalp items.




Bat Phones (15 Bloxikins)

A purple recoloured version of the BatPhones created by myself (arbirator). I won't say too much about the design, as I obviously liked it in its final iteration - but its a good gesture by ROBLOX by giving headphones out to BC and non-BC players alike.



Noir Riddling Skull (20 Bloxikins)

Certainly a pleasant surprise to see the Riddling Skull returning, this time back in a "black" noir-ish grey. A great prize for ROBLOXians who played the Witching Hour. The texture is slightly shaded, providing a fresh look on a old classic. It serves as a revival of the Halloweens of old, bringing a little nostalgia back to me. -Sniff sniff-



Purple Pumpkin Inferno (25 Bloxikins)

I never really cared much for the original "Pumpkin Inferno" and it's still the same with this, though I will say the purple flames could make for some interesting hat combinations. Having said that, it features a nice texture and interesting



Cloak of the Living Dead (30 Bloxikins)

An interesting prize certainly, with the first real "cloak" that came out last Saturday this comes along on a Tuesday and I quite like it. It was retextured from the 'Cloak of the Undying' - a ROBLOX gear, so it's interesting that this cloak is a hat item.




Orange Banded Top Hat (31 Bloxikins and Bloxhilda defeated)

Finally, we come to the Orange Banded Top Hat. It's no surprise to most since tophats usually range around 5,000 R$ so this is quite a hefty final prize I'd say. Anyone who spent a long time on the game will be pleased with this prize.


These prizes were truly great this Halloween - players got to keep both their BLOXikins and hat rewards! Considering Sorcus added teleportation to past-visited locations in the Witching Hour - both NBC and BC alike had almost equal chances of collecting all 31 BLOXikins and receiving an awesome Orange Banded Top Hat - a great gesture to the enthusiastic and die hard ROBLOX fans. In that respect, the catalog team have been especially generous in their prize giving this year - let's hope this trend carries on into the Christmas Giftsplosion!

The Witching Hour Battle and Travel Tips


#ThanksBloxhilda
 Hello Readers, today I will give you some "tips and tricks" of the new Witching Hour game. I have myself a few Bloxikins under my belt, the latest being the Hallo-Bot. I have a couple rules laid out for you.

Rule #1: If you have money, spend it.
This is, in my mind, the almost greatest machination roblox has come up with to take money away from the Economy. I am never against these: they are housekeeping issues so no one can overthrow or rule Roblox (Did you think the admins hired Merely just because he was a great scripter and builder?). Anyway, if you really want to get all the bloxikins, the Motorcycle is the best way to go, since warp spots are now obsolete.

Rule #2: Use the map
The map is always the best way to go for directions to a POI. They are already marked out, and some are right next to other Admin Houses, Like Reese and Tarabyte (Just go South from Reese). Warps are awesome, in use with the map as well.

Rule #3: House Farm
Now getting into some battle techniques. Once you get a quest, don't stray far from the admin's house. Usually the Houses are in clusters of four, and with the new update, you can't stay at the same house. Just go to the houses in a circle and you will be still close to base.

Rule #4: Check The Obiter Dictums
The biggest mistakes I have made in this game were not checking for last comments, namely, the bloxikin quests. Usually the admin will have something good for you if you button bash his dialogue and himself. 

Rule #5: Always on Fire
The pumpkin, right now, is one of the best attacks in the arena. it is devastating because of its hard blow and burn. I know we all have to deal sometimes with three monsters at once, so simply light them all up and ride your brown dog to victory. Usually freezing helps, too. The ram is useful, but tricky to use against spiders. Also, since most of you are upgrading, use the bomb: the enemies always follow you, so why not kill them for it?

Rule #6: Plan Your Own Chartered Course
This is a definite must. This rule means to do things your own way. If you like to use ram more than the bombs, then go for it. It also means to never partner with someone; it slows you down greatly. Lastly, rule 6 makes sure you know where to go. Never wander aimlessly; the map allows you to find an admin's name. Happy Hunting!

I died, but spawned exactly where I left off, no damage, and I didn't pay anything. #ThanksBloxhilda

BLOXikin Hat Reviews

BLOXikins: Hat Reviews

Along with the new ROBLOX Halloween Event came some prizes. And by some, I mean 31 prizes. They are all cute little "BLOXikins," which sit on your shoulder. Even number BLOXikins sit on your right shoulder, while odd numbered ones sit on your left shoulder. So, in this article I will be separately reviewing each and every BLOXikin (good luck to me).

Note: If you would like to see how to actually EARN these BLOXikins or find them in the event, please read this post that is a guide for the entire Halloween Event.


BLOXikin #1 Skeleton Builderman 
BLOXikin #01 Skeleton Builderman
Builderman is the first Admin BLOXikin, which are the major ones in the event. He is the first admin encountered, and looks really nice. His usual BC helmet has been changed to look like a skull, and his clothes are bones. As all the other BLOXikins are, he's pretty cute too. Overall, Builderman is a cute little start to the seemingly endless reign of BLOXikins.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikins #2-3 Vampire Shedletsky, Bella Vampire Brighteyes

BLOXikin #03 Bella Vampire BrightEyesBLOXikin #02 Vampire ShedletskySorry to say, but Shedletsky, along with Brighteyes, are
probably some of my least favorite BLOXikins. They are mainly just the regular admin with some vampire fangs. Nothing is really special about them, besides their nice little hoodies or scarves or whatever. These seem to me as the laziest done, as there isn't really anything Halloween-y to them, no cool costumes or such. But hey, they aren't UGLY, just.. meh.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #4 Witch ReeseMcBlox
BLOXikin #04 Witch ReeseMcBlox
ReeseMcBlox fits the witch costume nicely (no offence). The large hat and broom along with the dress that resembles this package are great little add-ons to make Reese look like a real witch. Of course, an admin isn't in a costume unless they have parts of their own look in the costume, and the hair, freckles, and glasses look very nice mixed with all of the witch items.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #5 Mummy OstrichSized
BLOXikin #05 Mummy OstrichSized
OstrichSized is by far my favorite admin so far. He is simply just wrapped up in.. uh.. bandages (is that what mummies call it?).. Anyway, he is wearing a scarf to keep him warm while he's nice and snug in his tomb. His fedora and lens really add to the overall look of it, and sadly, he is not the size of an ostrich (that would probably hurt on your shoulder).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #6 Swamp Monster Jeditkacheff
BLOXikin #06 Swamp Monster Jeditkacheff
Well.. Jedit kind of ruins the "OstrichSized is by far my favorite admin so far." Yeah. He's amazing. His hats from his character are normal, but colored green, and look really nice. He has fins coming out of his head, and cool swampy looking legs. He has a nice 6-pack, and is of course, totally green. His eyes resemble snake's eyes, or cat's eyes, and really come together to make an amazing swamp monster.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #7 Grim Reaper Sorcus
BLOXikin #07 Grim Reaper Sorcus
Sorcus is deathly amazing. He is dressed as a grim reaper, and looks good. He has a large knife to help ChiefJustus serve up the dead and eat them (or torture them, whatever). His black robes are ripped, and OF COURSE, Sorcus has to have his "Feed Me" symbol on his shirt. So yes, the knife is not a scythe, it's a cutting knife to help feed him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #8 Black Cat Tarabyte
BLOXikin #08 Black Cat Tarabyte
A cat is a purrrrrfect costume for Tarabyte. Tarabyte's normal hair looks meow-mazing with some cat ears. Beclaws of tarabyte's purrty cat appearance, she also has to have whiskers, a tail, and other black items like a dress, socks, and anything else. All in all, Tarabyte's cat costume is really pawsome mixed with the rest of the BLOXikins.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #9 Zombie StickmasterLuke
BLOXikin #09 Zombie StickmasterLuke

StickmasterLuke's BLOXikin is BY FAR my favorite admin one. I'm not sure if it's just because of his ripped dominus, broken antlers, or the fact that he has tons of holes in his body, but hey, it's amazing. He is wearing his normal hats from his ROBLOXian, but they are either ripped or broken. His whole body has tons of holes in it, and then there are some mysterious red eyes lurking beneath the dominus... I wonder who they belong to? Just kidding. They're probably his.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BLOXikin #10 Frankenstein Fusroblox 
BLOXikin #10 Frankenstein Fusroblox
Fusroblox's BLOXikin is OKAY, I guess. It is pretty much his normal ROBLOXian, but colored green with some stitches and bolts. Like with Shedletsky and Brighteyes, not much detail was put into this one. Also unlike Shedletsky and Brighteyes.. there really isn't much more that could be put into this. The designer did a great job at making it look like Fusroblox, while keeping an undead, stitched together by a mad scientist look.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BLOXikin #11 Werewolf OnlyTwentyCharacters
BLOXikin #11 Werewolf OnlyTwentyCharacters
OnlyTwentyCharacters is in the top 10 admins for coolest design. He is a werewolf, with fur everywhere. His eyes are pointed because he's hungry for flesh and presumably angry. His top hat is the same top hat on his real ROBLOXian. He is also wearing a blue tie to make his werewolf appearance look more.. fancy. So yeah, this BLOXikin is pretty great.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #12 Ghost SolarCrane
BLOXikin #12 Ghost SolarCrane
SolarCrane as a ghost.. would've expected a crane costume *chuckle*. Anyway, He is wearing his normal ROBLOXian hats, as most of the other admin BLOXikins are. His ghost appearance is pretty much just a bunch of white robes.. really nothing special. I'd prefer a costume like this, but transparent, but hey, it's not that bad.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #13 Devil ChiefJustus
BLOXikin #13 Devil ChiefJustus
ChiefJustus as a devil looks very good. He is wearing a nice red hoodie, with a fancy little bow tie, along with some grey pants. Of course, all devils have to have an evil face, horns, a tail, and a giant red fork. Nah, it's not a fork, it's something to command his un-dead subjects and pick at the dead to throw them into pools of fire when they misbehave. Anyway, ChiefJustus looks really good, and all in all, it's a great BLOXikin.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #14 Jack-O-Lantern ROBLOXian
BLOXikin #14 Jack-o-Lantern ROBLOXian
Jack-O-Lantern is a cute little kid, who I'm going to name Jack, wearing a jack-o-lantern costume. He has a pumpkin stem and top on his head, while the majority of the jack-o-lantern is on his body. He is the beginning of the trend of many "mini-BLOXikins," as I call them, A.K.A, BLOXikins that aren't of Admins, and just something else.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #15 Pumpkin Girl ROBLOXian
BLOXikin #15 Pumpkin Girl ROBLOXian
Pumpkin Girl, the female counterpart of Jack-O-Lantern, is a cute girl with a dress that is designed as a pumpkin. She has long hair with a pumpkin looking bow. She is wearing a black shirt with orange shoulders, and of course, a pumpkin dress. Things are made nicely, but really not THAT unique based on the others.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #16 Bat ROBLOXian
BLOXikin #16 Bat ROBLOXian
As I addressed below, I really don't care that much for these two bat BLOXikins. Bat Boy is much worse than Bat Girl, because there isn't much detail into it. He looks like Bat Girls younger brother or something, as he only has one fang, no hair, smaller ears, barely any "wings," and a hood over his head. Of course, that could all just be for a bat look, but really, this is nothing compared to Bat Girl, and Bat Man.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BLOXikin #17 Bat Girl ROBLOXian
BLOXikin #17 Bat Girl ROBLOXian
Batgirl looks really good. She has large bat wings, ears, and eyes (I think they're glasses). She has pale skin with two fangs, and a grey dress that really adds to the overall "bat" look. She has brown hair that really has no effect other than to make her look like a girl. So yeah, she is OKAY, I guess, but really not one off the greatest. So yeah, her dad Bat Man is better and would be a better BLOXikin.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BLOXikin #18 Spider ROBLOXian
BLOXikin #18 Spider ROBLOXian
Spider ROBLOXIAN is amazing. He has a webbed top hat, red eyes, a mouth with fangs, and of course, his greatest attribute, his eight arms with red pincher spike things at the end. He is mainly grey, and has a large web sharp extending throughout his 8 arms. Really, he is one of my favorites, even though I am deathly afraid of spiders.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BLOXikin #19 Spider Girl ROBLOXian
BLOXikin #19 Spider Girl ROBLOXian
Alike Pumpkin Girl, Spider girl is okay. Her face highly resembles Spider ROBOXian, with the red eyes and fangs. She is wearing a grey dress with a black widow symbol in the middle. She has pale skin and a grayish blackish ponytail. All in all, she is okay, but not as good as her boy counterpart.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #20 Raven ROBLOXian
BLOXikin #20 Raven ROBLOXian
Raven is a pretty cool BLOXikin. He has a normal head and body like all the others, but has a chicken suit head on, but it's colored black for some reason (oh yeah, it's a Raven). He has wings hanging down from his arms, which looks really cool. From the preview in the BLOXikin menu thing, I thought this would be a Chicken Suit costume (that would be pretty cool), but I guess a Raven works too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #21 Owl Girl ROBLOXian
BLOXikin #21 Owl Girl ROBLOXian
I see my review has gotten down to the flying squirrel. Oops, I mean Owl. It really looks like a flying squirrel, though. Anyway, she has Harry Potter glasses and long, red, flowing hair. Like the raven, she has wings coming down from her arms, and a hood on that resembles the animal (though this looks like a flying squirrel more than an Owl, but it'll do.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #22 Cthulhu
BLOXikin #22 Cthulhu
Cthulhu is awesome. My favorite thing about this BLOXikin isn't the green tentacles, green wings, swampy legs, 6-pack, or squid shaped head. Oh no. Those aren't my favorite things in this BLOXikin. You may say, "But that's the only part of the BLOXikin!!" No. It's not. The description is the best. It reads, "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtang." Yes. You read that right, it's Sorcus slamming his keyboard, you may think. But really, it means, "In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming." How do I know? Google of course! Will I explain what it means? No. That's for the caring readers to find out (Or just look below).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #23 Kaiju
BLOXikin #23 Kaiju
Kaiju is a really cool looking BLOXikin. His skin is green, and he has eyes similar to Jedi's, he also has giant claws and a tail with spikes on it. Kaiju pretty much means Godzilla, which is a giant dinosaur. Don't really see why they named this "Kaiju." Why not Godzilla? Or Dinosaur? Or large walking mutant lizard man? I really don't know. But hey - It looks cool, and that's all that really matters.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #24 Ooze Monster
BLOXikin #24 Ooze Monster
Ooze Monster is definitely my favorite non-admin BLOXikin. He is totally purple, but unlike EVERY OTHER BLOXikin, the shapes of his body are totally different. Well, they aren't completely different, but they are all melting and piling up into, well, purple ooze. To sum it up, he is a purple freak made out of ooze who is melting, and his face looks like it was draw on with Sharpie (And that's why we love you, Ooze Monster).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BLOXikin #25 Scarecrow
BLOXikin #25 Scarecrow
Scarecrow is by far the cutest BLOXikin. He looks like all the others, but hey, he has hay everywhere. His hair is hay, and well.. hey, what is a Scarecrow without arms with hay sticking out? Of course he has a cute stitched on face, a nice little hat, and some overalls. All in all, Scarecrow is just.. the cutest BLOXikin. Sorry Builderman.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BLOXikin #26 Bride of Frankenstein
BLOXikin #26 Bride of Frankenstein
Bride of Frankenstein is sadly one of my least favorites (sorry Fusroblox, she's ugly). She's just a BLOXikin wearing a cute white dress with wrapped up arms. Just that isn't really THAT bad, but then we get a little higher up on the body. That hair is just.. no. I know people have bad hair days, but it looks like somebody piled up a bunch of dead cats (sorry Tarabyte) on top of her head. It's just a mess. You miss, need a haircut.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BLOXikin #27 Gargoyle
BLOXikin #27 Gargoyle
Gargoyle is really cool. Of course, he doesn't totally look like a gargoyle (I'm not sure a BLOXikin made 100% of stone would look good). So yeah, the Gargoyle is mostly grey, with wings, horns, fangs, claws, and, of course, a stony 6-pack. Gargoyle is probably one of the coolest BLOXikins, mostly because of the wings and horns. So yeah, It's really nice. I wasn't sure that it was possible to see a "cute" gargoyle, but hey, they did it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #28 Yodalien
BLOXikin #28 Yodalien
An okay BLOXikin, Yoda is. But uh, yeah, this BLOXikin is really nice. It's not JUST Yoda, though based on it due to the name. It's mostly an alien, with a green face, large eyes, and black robes. It's probably one of my top 5 least favorites, but it's still pretty awesome. Yeah, I just said it's one of my least favorites, yet it's still awesome. That's just how good these BLOXikins are.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BLOXikin #29 Hallo-Bot
BLOXikin #29 Hallo-bot
This robot is just, awesome. Unlike most of the other BLOXikins, this one has a square head and torso, with limbs that look like.. well.. a robot's limbs. The robot has an antenna, claws, and a nice face that really ties things together. Of course, the designer of this just had to complement themselves by putting a rating on the torso of green, yellow, or red (they gave themselves a green rating, as I would too). Well, it's either that or it's just for extra design, but I think we all know the obvious choice here.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #30 Invisible Man
BLOXikin #30 InvisibleMan

----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------

BLOXikin #31 Headless Horseman
BLOXikin #31 Headless Horseman
Headless Horseman really wraps up (I would've been able to make a nice pun there, but sadly, it's not a mummy) the BLOXikins in a good way. He is very nicely made, though looks a bit less evil than imagined, probably to keep the "cute" look. The body is really nice, with a white scarf, jeans, a belt, and a suit. The pumpkin itself is of course a jack-o-lantern, which really ties things together.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Overall, these BLOXikins are amazing. The good thing is, there's 31 prizes!! The thing is, if you are really dedicated and determined, you will get them all, and hey, most people aren't. So I'm guessing that they will be fairly rare in the end.


Good luck!

Note: "H. P. Lovecraft's initial short story, "The Call of Cthulhu", was published in Weird Tales in 1928 and established the character as a malevolent entity hibernating within an underwater city in the South Pacific called R'lyeh. The imprisoned Cthulhu is apparently the source of constant anxiety for mankind at a subconscious level, and also the subject of worship by a number of human religions (located several places worldwide, including New Zealand, Greenland, Louisiana, and the Chinese mountains) and other Lovecraftian monsters. The short story asserts the premise that, while currently trapped, Cthulhu will eventually return. His worshipers chant "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" ("In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.")" [1]

Gear Review: Hallo-Cycle

Hello! Pbjms here with another gear review. Sorry for no major "reviewing" posts lately, as the Halloween Events of BLOXtober have really been inspiring me to write about them. Anyway, along with the Halloween Event's release came a near gear to help transportation - the Hallo-Cycle. I'm going to set up this article a bit differently, just as a little heads up so nobody gets confused.

Hallo-Cycle
"Hey! You are on fire! Use this cycle to speed through ROBLOX's gigantic Halloween level"

So, over the weekend during the Halloween Event's BETA testing, ROBLOX released a gear to help transportation. It is another motorcycle gear, which has only one main point; to help you get around the BLOXtober 2013's event faster. It's use in any other game is quite pointless in my opinion as you can get cheaper alternatives. In the released version of the event, it usually lags very much, and flings into the sky, but hey - nothing's perfect.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cycle is priced at 999 R$, which is an odd price, really. Why not just 1,000 R$, you may ask. Well the answer is simple: I don't know. Anyway, for a regular motorcycle that really just helps your walkspeed, it's too much. But, under the circumstances that it helps you get around the event much quicker, the price is more reasonable.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The look of the big wheel is VERY cool. It is shaped like a normal motorcycle that we may see out on the streets during our normal lives, but the texture is what makes it stand out. The metal of it is orange like a pumpkin, while the seat and handles are purple. There is fire on the sides, and a large engine underneath. The cool thing in game is the shear amount of fire that comes out of the back of the bike. It speeds up the transportation speed of the ROBLOXian letting them get somewhere in less than a 1/4 of the time it would take them to walk.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you were to ask me, and you really look forward to collecting every BLOXikin this event, this motorcycle is a must-have. It will help you SO much, because you know, walking on ROBLOX for hours isn't really the best thing to do in your free time.

Halloween 2013: The Witching Hour Guide


Halloween 2013: The Witching Hour


Halloween 2013: The Witching Hour_Image

Hello! Recently, ROBLOX release their Halloween Event, The Witching Hour. The goal of the Event is to explore through a GIANT map (20,000 x 20,000 Studs), collecting loot in houses and completing quests by admins. Once you completely finish the admin's quest, you will get their "BLOXikin," once you have all of the BLOXikins, you will then harness the power to defeat the evil Bloxhilda and save Bloxburg. So, for this post I'm going to be going over some of the major aspects of the game; Admins and their Quests, The Shop, and The Map.
