REVIEW: Kohls Admin House [NBC Version] (by agspureiam)

Oh god. Why did I choose to review this... I HAD to do it... I hope you guys like this review, because I needed to enter 3 servers for your pleasure. Welcome to the world of admin housing(very small world)!
Good way to entice players...
I'm going to try something new. A prologue. A history behind the game, and maybe the user. I thought it would be useful.

*Prologue*:
Admin houses had been a 'popular' thing of the past, until Roblox broke a famous admin script, rendering it useless. Then, around this year, a Robloxian released a brand new admin script. It was well-received, and soared some games to new heights.
This admin script is called: Kohl's Admin.
Then, another Robloxian thought that it was a good idea to revive the idea of admin housing. Go through a simple obstacle course, and claim your admin. It earned the Robloxian lots of Robux. Like, lots. However, abusers have risen, and have ruined the experience of most. But, it is THAT bad? Let's see...

*Looks*: 1/3
Outlines finally work...
The place itself is actually very bland. A free-modelled house sits in the middle of nowhere, with an obstacle course of bricks in front of the house. In the house is an admin giver, which can't be more bland than ever. But, the walls blocking you from cheating have a nice look, and the picture up there looks cool, with the filter and whatnot. Of course, looks is not the focus in this game, it's the admin!
(And outlines work in the game's favour this time around.)

*Gameplay*: 1/3
Yeah, I gave it a mark. The fact is, there will always be immature children abusing the admin given to them. Exploding people, blocking the entrance, etc. . But when you finally find a good server (which is most likely 0.1/100), or get past the abuser and get the admin, BLOW THAT SUKER UP and have fun. The obstacle course is easy, but actually gets more difficult.
Ah, good times...

*Scripting*: 1/3
Scripting is not really.. present? Well, other than the admin giver, and the admin script. The admin script is not his, but agspureiam acknowledged that it was Kohls Admin House. Nice guy. The script that gives the user admin is honestly, genius. It deserves a mark. And to counter abusers, admin is reset during a certain time(but it failed badly.).

*Originality*: 0/1
Others have done it before (just search 'admin house'.)

*Total/Conclusion*
3/10 (I'm judging you...)

It may get this kind of mark, but trust me, when you get the admin, you will really like the game, playing with strangers and fighting and messing with others, but it is a rare opportunity. Honestly, I wanted to give it 5/10, but the abusers just won't let me. The Robloxian is famous for such a simple game, and drowning in Tix, BECAUSE HE MADE A BC VERSION. I don't know what to say now. And a Perm Admin. Good game in earning those tix, agspureiam.

Really.

STRATEGY GUIDE: Possession (by Narutoworl)

So, I've been playing one of my favourite games on Roblox, Possession, recently. And I've realised that the people in my server could not find the ghost easily, while I could in a blink of an eye. So, I have decided to whip up this guide to playing Possession. I apologise for not putting any user-made photos today. So, let's get on with it!



This will be in 2 parts.

THE SURVIVOR
The survivor's goal is to find and kill the ghost that is among them. Simple, right? Wrong. Here's some tips to help you win the match against the ghost.

1. Try not to trust and follow strangers. They could be ghosts. Trust your friends, however. But they may still zap you, so watch your back.

2. Get 50 karma. Try to stay alive throughout the game. Having 50 karma would award you the Detector, a device telling you if the ghost is near or not. The tool is manual - click to use. Wait until it has finished 'reloading'. Do not unequip it while it is 'reloading', else the tool will break.

3. Know everybody's appearance during intermission. Check if they have a t-shirt or not (they could be ties, badges, etc.), and remember the design.

4. After knowing the appearances of others, make sure to check if they are wearing a t-shirt that was not on the character. When the ghost zaps someone, they will look like that person, however the ghost's t-shirt (if the ghost has one) will still be intact. After checking, shoot if necessary.

5. Do not be trigger-happy. Everyone hates that.

6. Don't bother using the medkit that you will receive at 40 karma.

THE GHOST
The ghost is the person who is trying their best to possess everyone. Here are some tips to let you get that extra 10 karma.

1. If you have a detector, do not use it. If you do, it would shout 'GHOST!!!', and the survivors will be more alert.

2. This counters the 4th tip of the survivors. Do NOT wear a t-shirt. Read above if you do not understand.

3. Whatever you do, DO NOT hold the possess tool while acting like a survivor. The possess tool can look like a zapper, or a brick. Be careful.

4. When you see someone coming (indicated by a red box), hide behind a wall, and ambush them if required.

5. GET 50 KARMA! The higher the karma, the higher chance you will have on being the ghost.


And the most important tip for both of the groups is...

*Know all of the maps inside-out.*

Yes, that's right.

There are 3 maps: Cemetery, Mansion, and forest. (I could be missing out on a map.)
Try to know the secrets of the map. Their blind spots, the space under the mansion, and trespassing the cemetery. Oh, and you can find the yellow car shown on the intro screen in the forest. If you know, you can avoid the ghost. If the ghost knows though, then it's a game-changer.

Well, I hope that this guide has helped you become a better player in Possession. Oh, and happy 1-month anniversary to my dear blog. I appreciate the little fans that read this, and I hope that you would spread it to everyone else, like Nutella.

Interview with: Imkakashka

Loyal fan and very good friend of mine, it's imkakashka!
Imkakashka.
Buzz:How are you today?
Imka:I'm good. Thanks. You?
B:Fine, thanks.
B:How did you get to know about this blog?
I:Well... You know, when you first said that you were moving to making reviews and such, I went to check out the site, and I actually liked it. Now when I get the chance, I go there to check for new
reviews.
B:What do you like about my blog?
I:The way it's all written out. It's not like a story. It's more like you telling your friend about a cool game you played. And the ratings are also good. I first thought Possession was a free-modelled game. But now I know it isn't.
B:Well, Possession was barely a free-modelled game. When I saw it, it reeked of goodness.
B:Do you think there's a way to improve the blog?
I:Well...I think adding short videos to go along with the post will be good. So viewers
will get an idea of the game. Or maybe walkthroughs. I could make them if needed.
B:I might consider walkthroughs but most Roblox games don't have a linear storyline, so it's hard to do them.
I:I mean, not EVERY video.
B:I understand.
I:But like, say, if you review Apocalypse Rising,you can add a short video about the game, or just some gameplay.
B:If you could write for the blog, what would you do?
I:I, personally, am horrible at writing those kind of things. At school, I always get C's in creative stories and such. I wouldn't be able to handle a blog, for sure.
I:Oh, I have to go.
B: Thanks for taking time off to join.
I: Thank you.

REVIEW: Call of Robloxia 5 - Roblox At War (by litozinnamon)

Ah yes, Call of Robloxia 5, or commonly known as CoR5. Based on Call of Duty 5 - World at War, it has aged very well. With new features introduced to the table every now and then, it helps to keep the game fresh, and more importantly, fun. Let's take an in-depth look into this old relic that people like.
Pew pew pew...
*Looks*
2/3
Skitzelberg.
Being a game based on World War 2, it REALLY looks like it. The various maps made by various talented Robloxians have beautiful detail, and are even useful. They really know how to build such creations. The guns themselves are great looking, however with the release of outlines, the guns have been less attractive. The GUIs are clean and simple, making them easy to use. The uniforms could use more detail, but maybe I'm just spoiled with my clothes.

*Gameplay*
3/3
Either you're a noob, or a veteran, you will find this game burning time quickly. With a wide variety of weapons and maps, being hooked will be the first thing you will be doing. However, spawn-killing is frustrating, and lack of people can make the experience boring, but it's inevitable. Other than that, excitement is all that will be boiling up in you.

*Scripting*
3/3
The GUIs are very quick and fluent. Guns aim properly, shoot properly, you can get stuff properly, and... you get the idea. The hit detection is perfect, with nice sound effects and a voting system. The scripting just flows like butter, and I have not encountered a significant flaw in the system.

*Originality*
0/1
Done a million times. Sorry.

*Total/Conclusion*
8/10 (Satisfying.)

If you want a good shooting game, pick this. You will be hooked, with its wide variety of weapons, maps, and unexpected events, you will enjoy this game with your friends, guaranteed. What really set it apart was the theme. World War 2. Just, wow. Oh, one more thing.

What should I review next?

Quickie Report:Freeze Tag =Original= (by TwoShue)

Quickie Report starts now! Today, I'm reviewing Freeze Tag! Here are my personal experiences with it:
God damn it TwoShue, the picture's too small!
*Looks*
Erm... All I can say is... plain. This game has not been touched on for quite a while, and honestly, the maps look... plain.
Just kidding, they are well-detailed and pleasing to the eye. Especially that picture up there. Aww yea.

*Gameplay*
One Word.
Campers.

Other than that, it's actually a fun experience! Running and using platforms and stuff... Chasing others...

*Scripting*
That bar at the bottom is well-programmed, and it gives the taggers a nice helmet too. Only problem: The bodies when they freeze. Sometimes, they toss and turn, which is awkward. Fix it. DO IT.

*Overall*
Freeze Tag is actually a very fun game to play with your friends and/or strangers. Other than the campers who camp near frozen people, you should enjoy this game very much. Actually, when you are the tagger, do spread out a bit to find the others, so that the game may end faster.

Tomorrow is Singapore's 48th Birthday, so it is only appropriate that I review a Singapore-themed place. Watch this space.

REVIEW/RAGE: Name That Famous Character *150+ Levels!* (by coolgoldboy15)

Oh god why
(NOTE: Review edited due to... charm to it. 1 mark added. What a lucky bastard.)
Hello, dear Robloxians! Today we are reviewing a game, with a very common concept, about saying names... Yes, it is one of those 'name that character' games. I am still dumbfounded on why this is on page 4 in the 'Popular' section. Does this game really set itself apart from others as being unique? Or will this game be the first to earn a bad title in this blog? Well, let's find out.
*Looks*
1/3
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT?! EVEN I CAN PUT THIS UP! WHAT THE HELL IS IT WITH THOSE MARIO CLOUDS STRETCHING AND THE LAME OLD DECALS?! AND THE VIP ROOM... WHAT THE FU- *beep boop beep boop*
Sorry, sorry. I got overboard. But seriously, anyone can make this. The bricks are not placed together properly, the stretching Mario cloud decals annoy the crap out of me, even though they look okay. And that's how this game got 1 mark out of 3 for looks. Need I say more? You're just a lucky bastard, stupid game...


*Gameplay*
1/3
It's as fun as taking a crap on the streets while being showered water on. Nobody likes being bothered while taking a crap, right? AHEM, anyway... typing out the name of a character to proceed is boring. It used to be fun, but after the idea was recycled many many times, it just got boring. But... it has such a weird charm to it that keeps you coming back to it. Anyway... You can tell most of the pictures, but for those you don't know, Google is there for you. And Wikipedia. And Yahoo. And Ask.com. And Wolfram Alpha. An-
Yes, I WAS the ghost in Possession. :3

*Scripting*
0/3
Sorry, I got carried away. Again. Anyway, there's no scripting involved, except the talking script, which could be a free model, and the VIP doors, which may also be free models. Now that I think about it, this place might be flooded with free models. Like a tsunami. Ugh. I'm not even sure if the badge givers work. Lemme check... *type type type* NOPE! THAT'S JUST GREAT. Or that may be intentional, so that your friends won't know that you had just played a crappy game filled with crappy clouds and crappy noobs and crappy pictures and crapp-

*Originality*
0/1
The idea has been recycled many many times, and thus, not original. This mark is hard to obtain, anyway.

*Overall*
2/10 (I'm judging you...)

If you can't tell by my review, I really hate this game to the core of my nubby little HEART!
BAD LOOKS
BAD PICTURES
BAD MODELS
BAD NOOBS INGAME
BAD... EVERYTHING...
Avoid this game at all costs, even when you are truly bored. I hope this game burns in Hell. Clouds and all. And the creator's tix. Yes yes.

Play if you dare... (opens in new window(it's the norm!))
