Delay.

I am sorry to announce the delay of this weeks Game Genre Wars. Frankly, the games I had in mind to compare were god awful so if anyone would like to see to games compared leave a suggestion in the comments. Remember, the games must have a similar obective and similar if not the same genre. I will also be doing popular real life games such as Battlefield Bad Company 2 vs Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 every 1st week of the month. Thankyou.

Featured Hat: Roblox Classic

A worthy tix hat has entered the catalog: Roblox Classic. This cap, unlike some tix hats is detailed and very classy. It's something NBC users can wear in confidence and be proud of their tickets once again. For the small price of 10 Tix I think it is a bargain! So stop reading this now and go buy it!

OBC, TBC, and BC Tags and New Camera Controls!

Roblox has released some new features this morning! First, BC Tags. I dont really like them, its just a little tag on the corner of you Avatar picture, where ever you go on the website to show if your OBC, TBC, or BC. I kinda find this feature pointless and sorta annoying, but whatever, you might like them. Anyways, there are new Camera Controls out! Im not actually sure if these are available on the regular site? I dont really play games anymore (other than Deception Infection :D), so I wouldnt really know. But there actually kinda cool, they give you a lot of new options on how to control your camera when your in-game. So, yeah. I hope you enjoy the new features!

Click here for a Camera Controls Video brought to you by gkku!

Amazing Retexture! Ro-Ban Sunglasses

Hi guys, I just wanted to post another of the Radical Retexture Entries, this has to be one of the best I have received, this retexture is pure awesomesauce mixed with a transfusion of epicsauce. Made by Freaked, this retexture is ultimate brilliance, in case you did not notice, the lenses are filled with a reflection of the Chaos skybox, an old skybox used in many classic ROBLOX places. This is certainly a potential winner!

Data Persistance Test Group?

Today, Telamon created a Data Persistance Test Group. Data persistence is when users can come back to a spot when they left a game. Items and your place won't be lost. This is basically the save option in many other games. No one knows what you need to do to get into the group, but its invitation only and im guessing not alot of people will get in. But im also guessing that it will help test the new Data Persistance feature, it seems important if Telamon made a group for it! It also says this group is "limited" so it probably wont be around long. And like I said before, its Invitation ONLY! So dont expect to get in!

ATTENTION: Roblox Players That Use Google Chrome!

Theres this really cool Google Chrome Roblox Extension, You just click right next to the little star (favorites button) after you install the Extension, and your Messages, Friend Requests, Robux, and Tickets come up in the corner of your screen! Without you having to open a new tab and going on the Roblox site!. This Extension is VERY useful (to me atleast) and I totally recommend it to Roblox users that use Google Chrome. But remember, you have to download the Extension first!

This Retexture is inspired by the hat I actually own in real life, it is very similar to this. The badge may look pixelated in this thumbnail, but in game it looks great :) Comment below!
