Giftsplosion 2014: The Percy Jackson of Christmas Events

Giftsplosion: the Timely Woe of Outdated, Useless Gifts

Hello readers, RayMan36 here with what we've all been waiting for: disappointment. Yes, I'm here to talk about the overly-impossible gift hunt, and maybe what would come out of these presents from the depths unknown, which all of you certainly bought.

DISCLAIMER: You have been juggling a broken teacup with a milkshake straw in your sock while dancing to the Canadian national anthem, all with your iron man costume in your baby pool on your 8th birthday party only if it was July 20th and it was a full moon. Otherwise, just pay me $40,000.

Croods Event Sneak Peek

Pajke here, with an interesting article.

There has been a lot of hype going on about the new Croods event. Well I've been doing my research, and I've come across a lot of information which I feel like sharing. Now, I will try to keep this as short as possible.

The Grug Package

We first found out about the Croods event, when a bunch of GUI images called "TheCroods_GUI_" were accidentally published to gear on 1/10/2013. They were on the front page of the catalog. This caused confusion, and no one knew what it was about. The GUI assets were later changed to "Future gear item". People figured out that this was most likely a sign to a new event.

As I said, I've been doing my homework. The game will be a survival game, featuring 3 playable characters: Grug, Eep and Guy. There will be four disasters, and they are:

• Macawnivore Attack
• Piranakeet Swarm
• Fire
• Rockslide 

From this GUI, you can kind of get the point of the game. There is also an MVP system. To be the MVP, you have to collect more Food items, and power-ups than the other players. Which is also kind of the point of the game, along with surviving until the end of course. 

A few bonus GUIs: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Croodhat textures: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] - It's pretty lame that they're all the same template.

The Macawnivore (Might be put together wrong, lol)

How to Get An iPad Tablet Gear / Black Friday Items

Roblox Tablet

Hello Robloxians, it's me, jirachidog, back again to inform you on how to increase your chances of getting a Roblox iPad Tablet. However before I start I want to warn you that no one is guaranteed to obtain one. You especially don't need to buy robux to get them. If you spend about 500$ you will only get around 70k robux. Why spend 500$ for 70k robux if you can just buy an iPad for 499$.

It's also almost Black Friday! These tips will also help with you getting the latest limiteds!

Here's some facts I've found about the iPads:

1. At least 10 are being made
2. They come out at odd timezones for PST. (For example 4 AM) Other time zones are at 7 AM.
3. The first 10 raise in intervals of 10k
4. They get botted
5. You are given an iPad 3 (Retina Display) if you get one
6. [LMaD] It was heard that Roblox is mainly giving it to users who make games.

There are only a few left but you still have a chance!

Here are some tips on how to get it:

• Do NOT use the TC:

Black Friday is coming nearing us and the TC rates are raising! Before Black Friday the rates were at 12.0. But now the rates have risen to 14.0 This means that instead of needing 12 tix for 1 robux you need 14 tix. It my seem like a little but when you calculate it you can lose a couple thousand robux.

• Get The Google Chrome Hat Notifier:

Although the tablets aren't hats you have a special feature. You can see when Roblox is online or offline. Roblox being on is only a small factor. From experience when Roblox is on there is a 10-25% chance that a tablet is coming out in the next hour.

• Bookmarking Pages:

This is one of my personal secrets. If you have Google Chrome you can easily see bookmarked pages. Have a page for Roblox's Profile, Catalog, and Let's Make a Deal. Refreshing these 3 pages will alert you if a tablet is out.

• Have About 10k Robux Handy

Black Friday is the one day of the year where the poor can become rich. If you really must. Sell things on your alts and mains until you have at least 5k. Like last year's Rainbow Shaggy. 2k robux can turn into 200k.

• Do Not Rest

Both the iPads and Black Friday will have items coming out at random times. For the iPads most have came out at midnight or very early in the morning. Black Friday items will come out from 12:00 AM-12:00 PM for the most part

I hope you get the most bang from your buck! If you have any questions or want more information you can pm me here. @jirachidog

Isoclism: An RPG for the entire ROBLOX Community!

'Isoclism is supposed to be a 1100AD estique game focused around exploring and completing quests. The overall game map is massive and is built completely hand made. The game itself is being developed by 8 developers and being created for the entire Roblox Community. We have been rather struggling to gain any sort of publicity, as we are almost complete with the game. Also, we inrich our community with small contests, and polls, and activities, that show off our goals. Also, this game is designed from the ground up, and uses no orbitary code, nor plagerizes any art, retextures...'

-Enderscrolls

Icoclism sounds interesting, a new RPG competing for a spot on the games page! I haven't played a ROBLOX RPG in some time, and ever since mod-Venture went underground, I lost interest in their genre. However, this brings a fresh new game to the table and I am excited to see how it turns out. The game goes into public Beta tomorrow, so make sure you're there to try it out and share your thoughts with us! You can find the place HERE.
