Hat Review: Jack O The Mist

Jack O The Mist

Hello Readers! Today I will be reviewing a new Halloween Hat! I love Halloween so I will be reviewing lots of these. This hat is only obtainable by buying a BC card from Target stores near you! 

Mesh: 9/10
This hat's mesh is very unique. Who has ever seen a pumpkin wear a witch hat? Everyone if they have seen some Disney classics of course. The hat is a little strange at the top, same with the nose. Otherwise, the rest of the hat is OK. This pumpkin has one of the biggest grins I've ever seen, and also has a smirk, as if the whole pumpkin was an actual living pumpkin. Creepy right? Yep, this hat is strange. It at least fit's nicely and looks cool on your character.

Texture: 9/10
The texture on this crazy pumpkin fits the creepy mesh. The only thing weird about the texture I would say is the nose. I still don't get who the nose sticks out. The pumpkin's colors fit nicely but the hat is a simple brown-black color, besides the red band. For the most part, the texture fits appropriately with the mesh and looks good too. 

Money Value: 8/10
This hat as I previously stated, is only available by buying a BC card from Target stores.  You can't buy it with your robux or tickets, but real money. For a $10 USD ROBLOX card, I guess it i okay for the price. I might actually go to Target to get this, it's unique.

Enjoyment: 10/10
I love how this hat looks on your character, It's like having a small pumpkin & witch hat all in one! I say it can be your Halloween costume this year! I think I am going to but a ROBLOX BC card, just for this!

Overall: 9/10
Overall, the hat is great. The mesh it strange, especially the nose. The texture fit nicely and looks good. The money value is pretty good, and it is a very enjoyable hat! I say this hat deserve the 9/10! 

I will be reviewing lots this Halloween, be sure to keep reading!

Halloween Gifts make a return!

Yes, that's right; the Halloween gifts are back, mirroring what happened last Halloween in 2011! Last year there were 13 gifts, each available on a separate day of October These gifts, unlike Christmas gifts could only be purchased and not simply earned through an achievement on the site. While some prefer the challenge of trying to earn certain gifts, I understand why the gifts are for purchase only; because Halloween is a hectic month full of other Halloween themed hats, gear and events.

Last year the first gift was named the 'Gift of the Sixth Undead' and was released on the 1st October. This year the first gift was released on the 2nd October.

                   

Gift of the Ghastly Ghostie 

What kind of tie did the ghost wear to the ball?

This gift is stretched which would suggest the item inside is long and thin. However, what we predict and what we receive can often be very different. The description points towards a 'Boo Tie' (ghost themed tie), which is an obvious answer to the joke. A user apparently found the texture for the item inside which consisted of ghosts, but I will not reveal it (spoilers). We will just wait and see.

We will be covering each and every gift on RN, so check back daily for the latest news on these collectable little items!

Happy Hunting!

Thanks

Zombies on a Plane RANT Review

If this happened you would die. No question about it.

This game stinks, don't play it.

Alright, now I know you guys are all like "He says it stinks so that means we should play it to see how bad it is!" So I guess I've got to convince you to not visit this place. -sigh- You guys make me work too hard :'(

Gameplay 0/10
You start the game on a plane (which is to be expected) this would be fine if it weren't for the fact that there are two teams on the plane. The Front of the plane team and the Back of the plane team. This seems completely useless and confuses most players (Curse you guests!) into thinking it's some kind of deathmatch. There's also the whole problem with the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing. You can get out of the plane after a few tries, although your weapons are mostly useless and either do no damage or hardly any. After you get off of the plane you land on a large baseplate with what appear to be tycoons. However, there is no way to make money and if you expect me to kill 100 zombies with a weak bow that takes 10 hits to kill them then you are out of your mind. Also, none of the tycoons worked for me. After playing through it a second time I finally found a shop that almost seems like it was meant to never be found.

Effort 3/10'
The only weapon that actually hurts the zombies is the Artemis Bow which is a gear that can be found here. However, the creator toned down how much damage it does by a ton so it's almost useless. There is also what appears to be a chainsaw but it's probably free models, along with the zombie. The plane looks remarkably familiar and the map below looks really, really bad.

Creativity 0/10
There are tons of zombie games and tons of zombies on a plane games. Giving players useless tools DOESN'T make it different

Overall 1/10
Suggestions

• Instead of having two teams just have two spawns
• Make the revolver work and make the zombies less powerful. They shouldn't be able to kill you if you're attacking them with a chainsaw.
• Add some stuff to the ground at the bottom, it's really boring.
• Add a giant cake zombie of love that gives everyone presents with cakes in them. Then take the cakes away and have "Still Alive" play.

 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.

Place Review: Pirate Wars

Arrg, prepare thy selves for the world of Pirate Wars! Ah yes, a pirate game, how fun could this get? We'll have to find out for ourselves.

     Upon entering this place we are greeted with our own little island. You can be on one of two teams, Blue or Red. I was placed on Red. I quickly find an enemy ship on our island and I say, hey, why not? Well, I soon discover that taking this ship was a bad idea. I travel along the ocean and stumble upon my team's ship, and the unthinkable happens. I get shot by a cannon and killed by my own team! I guess they assumed I was the enemy, but they had no idea that I had hijacked the enemy's ship.

     I was placed back on my spawn to try again. This time, I finally took my own ship. I then found out that even taking my team's ship was a bad idea... I was shot by my own team again! But, this time, I didn't die! >:) So, I continued on in the ocean, along the way shooting my own teammates. Getting revenge of course. I then stumble upon probably the largest ship of the enemy's team yet.

    I get shot by their cannon and shoot them in return, but my cannon didn't do any damage! D: I finally get blasted and my entire ship goes kaboom and I rage-quit and leave the game and thus ending my epic journey of pirates. I wasted 50 gold on this? >:/ I really enjoyed this game. Yes, you have to spend money on ships, whoopee. "It's like a real pirate map with a real treasure chest." -Some cartoon. Name that cartoon and get mentioned in a future post.


Scripting: 10/10. Scripts are obviously used here. What with all the ships and buying options.

Building: 10/10. It's well built and well created a pirate scene.

Deals with Problems: 9/10. Team-killing may be a problem, but it adds to the realism.
Reviewer's Experience with Lag: 10/10. No lag was experienced.
Difficulty: Medium. May get a bit hard after a while. Trying to destroy other ships.
Reviewer's Enjoyment: 10/10. I especially enjoyed the realism of this place.
Reviewer's Recommendation: 10/10. Recommend this if you like to feel realistic.
Thumbnail's Review: 10/10. Lured me in wanting to see more.
Scenery: 10/10. Great place and makes it seem like a real pirate war.

Overall: 10/10. I enjoyed this game very much and would enjoy playing it again. Maybe with my crew of brave pirates! :)

Battle Boats! Place Review

Now, on my laptop the game does lag a lot. It's probably the greatness of my graphics Vs. the stupid CPU. But no matter no matter. I can still review it.

When I saw this on the front page, the image was so persuading, here's a secret. I love games that are realistic. And this game surprisingly is very realistic, with a bit of flim-flam from ROBLOX. The game is a reality. It consists of a beautiful minimap, that tells you who the player is when you hover over their name. You also have the nice effect, that when you're under water, a bubble starts to shrink, and when you have no bubble left, you die. That in my opinion is realistic to an extent.

The game is made out of Terrain and ROBLOX water. You also have three teams, and preset boats. As the title implies, you do battle, with BOATS! But you might wanna watch out, these people are vicious, one wrong step and you could result in a most painful death, like Dumbledore's, apart from you'll be falling from a boat and sinking, instead of falling from a 50 billion feet high building (Sarcasm). Use your time wisely, size matters not, but in this game it does. Your best bet is to get a big boat so it doesn't fall apart so easily!!

The scripting on this game, to an extent is good, I like it. It's kind of simple, but it's very manipulative and great! He used many functions on this game, and they all add to the gameplay. Beautiful, beautiful. Smack bang, well done!

Building, as I have mentioned already, the game really just consists of Terrain and water, the boats are nice and details with monster rockets that come out of those pirate cannons. And they work rather well for a server-side script. The graphic on this game is also good, the Minimap looks almost HD and so does the bubble. The photos the creator used were very high quality, and really helped me see the game in the full light it deserved.

Dun, dun, dun, it's that time of the review again... BORING OLD STATS.

Scripting: 10/10
Very manipulative, maybe not the best. But very manipulative and smooth.

Tools: 0/10
This game doesn't really have tools. :P

Development: 10/10
The terrain and the boats with the ROBLOX water and bubble make the game a reality, a very simple reality.

Problems: 10/10
Not that I know of is there any problems.

Difficulty: Intermediate
You better be prepared, because those vicious ninjas on the boats aren't willing to give up.

Front Cover: 7/10
No video, sadly. But it shows gameplay.

Fun Filling: AMAZING!
It's really fun killing users. (Don't report me :P)

Thought: 7/10
Was thought about to an extent. But could be better.

Overall: 8/10
Nice creation, keep it up.

Suggestions:

• Be able to eat cookies that make you kamikaze.

Tween Position & Size

Before anything, I did post this by my own accord. Because I thought you, the readers would want to hear from me ASAP!

Tweening position:

script.Parent.Frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0))

This would put the frame in the parent of the script to the position of 5 by 5, also meaning that you would not have to use any long scripts.

Lets take a closer look...

script.Parent.Frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0))

'script.Parent.Frame' - locating the frame.

:TweenPosition() - the method used to move a gui to a position in a manner smooth and risk-free.

UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0) - defining the position you want the gui to be at by the end of the tweening.

Tweening the position is one of the most easy ways to move a Gui smoothly. Even an idiot could use this method. It helps a lot, you could also choose the manner you wish for it to enter, you could make it bounce with 'script.Parent.Frame:TweenPosition(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0), "Out", "Bounce")'. This would bounce the gui when it reaches it's destination. Although the bounce method doesn't give of a sound unless you have scripted it, it's still a very nice way to have a Gui move itself in.
.
Tweening can also involve size, even sizeandposition, but I think if you know Size and Position, you could easily use "PositionAndSize". Size is the same as position, but instead of saying TweenPosition, the hardest bit is changing TweenPosition to TweenSize.
Both TweenSize and TweenPosition come in handy when making a game, the enums are even better. With Tweening, you can choose how long you with the gui to take before it reaches it's destination, for a smoother tween you could set it as a high number of seconds, whereas if you were using a small time you would reach the destination quicker.

Suggestions

With this method, I personally have a suggestion that they make "TweenPartPosition" and "TweenPartSize" making it easier for us, the users to move bricks to a different position in a better transition than making everything run from a for loop or so.

My Opinion

In my opinion, Gui Tweening is a great addition to ROBLOX, and they should carry on making options like it. Great job!

Review News

Sorry about my delay, I should have one up and running today, I have actually been really busy with programming, I mean, yesterday I learnt a whole programming language in one day. And I was too tired to carry on blogging for that day. So if you are reading this tomorrow then there's probably a review up. :)

Hat Review: Jellyfish

Hey all, Rob498 here, I know it's been a while since I've last

posted, but I'm going to start posting more frequently from now on, so stay tuned!

____

So today I decided to look at a very random hat. The Jellyfish.

Basic Stats:

Created: 8/10/2010

Favourited: 844 times.

Total Sold: 2,164.

Genre: Comedy.

Description: "The most delicious kind of fish ever. I hope mine is strawberry flavoured!"

Mesh: 9/10

I personally think the mesh looks great, the many tentacles give it a lot

of realism, while it's body(?) has a nice sort of mushroom shape to it.

Texture: 7/10

I honestly thought jellyfish were more of a transparent thing more than

a bright, purpley, ball of jelly. But nonetheless, the details on the top

and the colour changes throughout the hat make it looks pretty neat.

Creativity: 10/10

What can I say, this hat is totally bonkers and hilarious. It just

looks plain silly on your character, and makes you look like

the goof of the gang. I think it was a well thought up hat idea.

Price: 9/10

At a dandy 70R$, you can't really go wrong. Unless you're someone

who finds trouble saving up robux and spends them straightaway,

it should definetely be within your price range.

Overall: 8.75/10

I think that this hat is a very cute little novelty item, and at the price it's

at, it won't take a big chunk out of your robux. A very solid item.
