Classic Hat Review: Sk9r Boi

Classic Hat Review: Sk9r Boi      

 Hey guys, Ulquiorra98 here, coming to you with a Classic Hat Review! Now, today, we'll be taking a look at one of the most popular hats on ROBLOX, the second hat in the game's "Skater" hat lineup, "Sk9r Boi." So, without further ado, let's get down to the review!

Mesh: The Sk9r Boi is simply a retexture of the original Sk8r Boi, the only difference between the two being that the Sk8r Boi hat has a blond/orange/crimson color scheme, while the Sk9r Boi has a brown/gray/black color scheme. While the mesh of the Sk9r Boi Hat isn't all that creative, it does look great on your character, so I give it a 9/10.

Appearance: Like all other ROBLOX Skater hats, this one has to parts to it. There's the cap itself, gray in color with a black rim, and the hair surrounding the outside of the cap, which in this case is a sort of dark auburn color. This hat goes well with any pair of shades, especially Clockwork's Shades, and deserves a 9/10.

Pricing: Sk9r Boi hit the catalog a few years back at the price of 139 ROBUX, 74 more than its predecessor, Sk8r Boi. While I'd like for the price to be under 100 ROBUX, it's still an easily affordable hat, and therefore gets a 9/10 in this category.

Overall: 9/10

I have already confirmed several gifts with arbirator. The first gift that will be obtainable will be the Gift of the Intelligent.

Once you find the trivia questions and you figure out the answers, PM them to either me or arb (preferably me). Remember, you only have 3 tries to guess all 6 questions correctly.

Slender Place Review

In my last review I reviewed a terrible ROBLOX Slender game. I decided that for my next review I would review one that is much better. This slender is better in every possible way.

Gameplay 8/10
The goal of the game is to collect all 8 pages. The pages are scattered throughout the map on certain parts of the environment, such as a large tree, propane tank, and a public bathroom. Throughout your exploration of the map Slender can show up and try to kill you. He can only kill you if you either stare at him for a prolonged period of time, or touch him. If you aren't an idiot you can easily evade him.

Effort 10/10
Tons of effort went into this map. I'm pretty sure they took the actual map from Slender and recreated it on ROBLOX accurately instead of just putting stuff around where it "looked right" which is a big plus. Also, the sound you make when you walk actually changes depending on where you are. That combined with all the other awesome is simply... awesome.

Creativity. 8/10
There have been a lot of Slender games on ROBLOX recently, but this is one of the only ones that is any good at all.
Overall 9/10
Suggestions

• Make evading Slenderman more challenging
• Have a .01% chance of a player seeing a rainbow unicorn pegasus ninja robot instead of Slenderman.

If you want your place reviewed simply contact Banjobug on twitter or send me a private message on ROBLOX. The next post could be about your place! I'll be glad to give you ideas on your place and help make it better. Also, if you find a place that is absolutely awful and on the front page send me a PM and I might make a RANT about it!

Also, you should follow me on twitter even if you don't have a RANT or review request! Sometimes I invite my followers to go to places with me to help review them.

Gift Guessers Gift #1: ROBLOX Newshound Gift

Edit: This guess is correct according to the official roblox blog.

Hello, IBarrageI here with a gift guess for the newest and first gift that has been released. And that is the ROBLOX Newshound Gift.

This gift sparked my curiosity from the moment it appeared.

I mean, a gift wrapped in news-paper? This gift is right up my street.

But, lets get on with how I think you get it.

Firstly, thing that comes to mind is, Roblox Blog. as this is the best place for official roblox news. (Roblox news is 2nd best (not being biased at all am I?)) And franky, the name "Newshound" may suggest that news reporters, like roblox new members, recieve this gift.

**EDIT** The official method to receive this gift is as follows:

1. Verify your email address

2. Under your account settings, tick the 'I want to receive newsletters and updates from ROBLOX at this email address!' box. 

3. Wait for the gift to be handed out on the 5th of December!

But another possible method would be to:

To receive:

Be subscribed to Roblox Blog Email notifications with the email that is connected to your account.

What's inside:

Maybe a Rolled Up Newspaper melee weapon.

To subscribe to the Roblox Blog Email Notifications go here

And put in your email that is connected to your roblox account, then your date of birth, and press subscribe.

Then just click the comformation link that is sent to you.

This has been IBarrageI.

And this has been the first Christmas Gift Guess of 2012.

Thank you and happy hunting!

ROBLOX Black Friday Gear Review: R-Orb

GEAR REVIEW: R-ORB

       Hey guys, Ulquiorra98 here, coming to you with a brand-new gear review! Today we'll be taking a look at the R-Orb, one of the gear items released on Black Friday this year. So, without further ado, let's get down to the review: 

Abilities/Effects: This super-charged orb can be used in two different ways. You can either A) release a flurry of relatively low-powered orbs upon your enemy (5 hits to a KO), with a reloading time of approximately 1 second per orb, or B) charge up and direct a full-on blast of energy at your opponent, guaranteed to wipe out most, if not all, of his health. However, this ability takes around 10 seconds to get a 1hit/KO. The gear's effects definitely resemble a move of one particular anime character from a show that rhymes with Ragonball T. Now, I wonder who that could be... 9/10.

Appearance: Once equipped, the orb removes any hats you have on, and leaves you with blond, spiky, anime-styled hair, which I find rather cool. Again, this hair does look vaguely familiar... 
The orb itself is orange and partially transparent, with the ROBLOX Logo stamped across the surface of it. I find it simple, yet nice. I think it deserves a 9/10.

Pricing: This gear item hit the Catalog on Black Friday at a price of R$650, which is definitely reasonable for an item such as itself. However, after the weekend was up, the Orb returned to its originally scheduled price of R$1,000. I find that to be a bit too much, and though I like the gear, I wouldn't want to spend a whole 1K on it.  6/10.

Overall: 8/10.

Black Friday Gear Review: Spec Omega Biograph Energy Sword

Spec Omega Biograph Energy Sword

Hello readers, chubbs21 here, and welcome to another Black Friday 2012 Review! Today I am reviewing the brand new energy sword, Spec Omega Biograph Energy Sword!

Limited Stats:

Original Price: 5,000 robux

Sold: 400

Average Price: 7,000 robux (as of 11/24/12)

Mesh: 5/10

The mesh is the exact same mesh ROBLOX has been using for all the Energy Swords. It's pretty basic and could defiantly use some work, as the texture is hardly seen. It is just a few lines on a handle really. Not that great. 

Texture: 8/10

The texture, if you look closely in-game, it does have some detail. It looks like some black metal, kind of like Black Iron. It is hard to see because the mesh is so skinny, but is what it is, a black Energy Sword.

Money Value: 8/10
The original price was 5,000 robux, and selling for 7,000. This means you lose about 100 robux. But don't worry, people are only selling low for "Black Sunday" this year. Around Christmas season you should profit.

Overall: 7/10
This gear has a skinny and weird mesh, a good texture, and should later have great profit. I recommend  if you haven't, buy it now and wait until it raises for good profit.

Zakky's Scripting Tutorials #1 - Printing

BASICS #1

Printing is a simple thing... You have something called an "output" in ROBLOX Studio, which will display your prints. Printing is often used just to narrow down a diagnostic of a paragraph of code or so. You use prints to organize your scripts too. So if I had a cake generator script....

print("CAKE GENERATORZ LOADED")

That would print a line on the output saying "CAKE GENERATORZ LOADED").
But what if my Cake Generatorz script wasn't working and OUTPUT wasn't helping me fix it? Well... This line could help you diagnose it. Because, if you see the line printed, then there's something wrong with after it. Whereas if it didn't print something would be stopping it.

Examples:
print("zakary99 model loaded")

You can also continuously print my name...

while true do 
print("Zakary99!!")
wait()
end

That would carry on printing my name forever.

This is a very short tutorial.

We will get more advanced as time goes by...

War Turkey Gear Review

Hey guys, I'm back with a gear review of the "War Turkey". This weapon... is just... extreme. You'll see why. Let's get started: 


Mesh: The mesh is a turkey, who would have thought? Anyways, it is a very cool turkey, properly shaped and everything.It's pretty insane. Without the texture, it'd be pretty hard to tell what it was (like a lot of other hats/gears). But that's not bad, it's nothing to judge on. A very cool and well made mesh. 10/10.

Texture: Um. It's the colour of a stereotypical cooked Turkey, but it's a bit bland. I mean, for a war turkey, it could have some more dramatic colours on it. Not just tan. Although, the colour is accurate, slightly. It does look like a cooked turkey, and it's the thought that counts. It is a good colour, I'll give it that. 7/10.

What It Does: Okay, are you ready for your minds to be blown?

When you aim+click... IT THROWS A TURKEY. OF WAR. I can't put my finger on how much damage it does per hit, but it seems to be like maybe 10-15? Here's a video of me displaying its amazing power: (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-PuVbfwWYE)
 

Anyways, it is a pretty cool function. It's pretty neat, so I'll give it a 10/10.

Overall: Overall, this is a pretty cool weapon. It's funny how you can throw a TURKEY OF ULTIMATE WAR at someone. The mesh is cool (and odd), the texture is accurate, and the function is WICKED. It gets an awesome 9/10.

Black Friday Gear Review: Rapid Launch Blaster

Rapid Launch Blaster

Why hello there. It's IBarrageI here with a gear review.

Now. First of all. This gun definitely looks the part, doesn't it? It has all of the characteristics that a gun has (and should have), and in my opinion, it's the best looking gun yet. One above the Orinthian Blaster 3777

A beautiful close up of me and the gun

The gun itself does everything that the name suggests. Rapid-Fire Lasers are fired out of it at an alarming rate. Though, the gun is much like a machine gun, The shots are dotted in slightly different places each time, making it not very suitable for long range combat. But, having said that, it is still able to kill someone from a distance. 100 Studs is the longest distance away that I managed to kill a player.)

Next is the interface.

All a gun like this really needs is a simple gauge on how much ammo you've got, and whether or not it has finished reloading. This gun does this well.

It gives a constant update of how many laser shots you have left, and also tells you when it's reloading. And Frankly, Simplicity is the way forward with gear.

The shots themselves are quite clearly lasers

But what I want to draw attention to is how the shots are fired.

Below is the animation of how the shots are fired.

The sheer detail that is within this is rather astonishing. The fact the shot animation is different each time makes you wonder. What other guns could come out with this much detail? I myself can't wait to see more like this.

Now to sum everything up

Looks/Detail: 10/10

This gun has all of the things that make guns awesome, such as burn marks, metal texture, the colour, it's pretty much perfect.

Ingame Use: 9.5/10

What more can I say, it's a balanced gear with awesome firing animation and interface.

On character: 8/10

This gear is a chunky one, and is slightly cut off at the end. This is a problem, but all in all, it can complete an outfit easily.

Overall rating: 9.5/10 

This gear is screaming out awesomeness, and is a must buy. It is currently at a discounted price of 900 R$ for black friday weekend (Normal price 1,250 R$) So get it at the cheapest price to avoid paying an extra 350 R$ afterwards.

This has been IBarrageI, and I'm outta here...
