SPECIAL REPORT: Roblox 'Doge' Madness?

...

So, I bet many of you are wondering: what is this Doge thing? It's on some popular games, an Apoc. Rising ad, Shedlesky has a picture of Doge on his blurb, and loleris (Creator of Intense Sword Fighting), who changed his name to Dogeris. O_o

So, what IS going on? Robloxians all over the globe are commenting about this madness. What is going on? Are we being hacked? Or is Roblox just going plain crazy?! Well... I will give my two cents on this situation.

Seems that I gotta research...
According to Know Your Meme, (and I quote) Doge is a slang term for “dog” that is primarily associated with pictures of Shiba Inus (nicknamed “Shibe”) and internal monologue captions on Tumblr. These photos may be photoshopped to change the dog’s face or captioned with interior monologues in Comic Sans font.

How does that matter? I don't know. Just some more detail into this story. But, why does it exist now?

In the USA, it's 25 Oct 2013 (It's 26 Oct 2013 over here, and very cold, btw)
So... (I quote again)
On October 28th, 2010, a photo of a dog was submitted to the /r/Ads subreddit^[3] with the title “LMBO LOOK @ THISFUKKIN DOGE,” where it received 266 upvotes, 218 points overall and 48 comments prior to being archived. 

But it's Oct 25 now... What's going on? It could be an inside joke.. You never know what goes in the mind of Robloxians.

Oh, and if you can't deal with Roblox going crazy with such jokes, you better leave.

So, that's my not so helpful two cents. Maybe it would start to get people thinking instead of complaining. Which may never happen. Might as well call this blog Dogeians, Opinions and Reviews...

Quickie Review:Game of Tones (by Tone)

HEYAYAYAYYA! Sorry for not posting any reviews. I am going on a holiday soon, so I'm busy. I will do quickie reviews, if possible. Anyway, I'm just gonna reviews this perfectly normal game.. except nothing is normal about the game. Welcome... to Game of Tones (Not Game of Thrones.).

*Looks*

Welcome to the weird world of He-Man on drugs. If you had watched the original video and listened to the lyrics, you heard He-Man 'Get REAL HIGH'. So yeah. A floor with a yellow grid (from the video, of course!), rainbow background, THAT background music, and you will be morphed into He-Man. I have seen a I'm Blue gamepass, and I heard it was in beta, so yeah. It plays I'm Blue from Effiel 65, instead of HEYAYA, and morphs you to a blue thing. OH and He-Man has a sword.

*Gameplay*

Nothing. The sword does not even work. It is a funny place though, and the 'game' was not made to be played, really.

*Scripting*

Other than the merging of 2 pieces of music when you buy the gamepass, the thing.. actually works. Except that the sword does not kill. :/

*Conclusion*

These kind of games... are not games. They are there for you to laugh, gawk and stuff. No conclusion can be drawn from the game. It's cool. Cool. Yeah.

REVIEW: Prop H-- Quickie Review: inkblot | in development (By redditor)

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA, WHAT HAPPENED TO PROP HUNT? NOW ME NOTES ARE USELESS! To compensate, here's a quickie review of Inkblot, a new game in progress made by redditor, which runs on the new cirrus framework (first there's tabby, now cirrus... what next?!).

*Looks*:
The game itself has many neutral colours, with white guns and white and grey maps. However, projectiles that are shot out are of a vibrant colour that you are assigned to every match, hence being called inkblot. The different guns are well-detailed, and make well use of the outlines feature. The neutral look of most of the game itself is interesting, yet dark.

*Gameplay*:
As this is redditor that we are talking about, the game runs smoothly, even on this 2011 laptop. There are many controls that change the game, and customizing your gun while waiting for the next match was decent. It's fun, in general.

*Scripting*:
As you can see, the game itself was made using the cirrus framework, instead of the tabby framework that we are used to. Surprisingly, it affects the reduction of lag in the long run, allowing it to run smoothly, as mentioned earlier. Despite the game being in development, the game ran smoothly, without any noticeable glitches or lag spikes.

*Conclusion*:
Inkblot is yet another interesting game made by redditor, with it's generally neutral tone of colours and awesome gameplay, yet running so smoothly. Redditor has made a lot of great shooter games on Roblox, and this is no exception. Now, go play it.

Roblox B&B: Cancelled?

I have plans to cancel Roblox B&B. It was really hard to find bad things about Roblox that had happened over the last two weeks, so it shall be shelved for a while until I make a new decision soon.
For now, it is replaced by 'Opinions'. Yes, I'm finally using the Opinions part of Robloxians, Opinions and Reviews. :3

Teaser review

This is my first time doing such a thing (planning on paper and posting teasers), so go guess what the game will be! The correct person gets credit from me and the person can tell me what you want ME to review! Send them to Buzzzi1824's PM box. Be quick, as it ends this Friday! :3 Good luck.

REVIEW: ROBLOX Halloween: Trick or Treat 2013 - NBC (By lion2323)

(I apologize for taking no pictures, I was busy this week!)

Halloween is upon us. When ghosts and vampires (like Dracula, not Edward) haunt us, and when kids... walk around in costumes and trying to get candy. I really don't understand this tradition, but who knew that it would be a great game concept?! That's what lion2323, CEO of Roblox Magazine RoGo, has done. So... let's start the treating and tricking. (Robloxia Classica will start the following week)

*Looks*
2/3
In this game, Lion had managed to use cool meshes for costumes, ghosts, trees, etc. The map itself has a cool dark feeling that matches Halloween, and the houses are simple, yet colourful. The candy, however were just tiny bricks, and the villagers could look a bit more different.

*Gameplay*
2/3
Thankfully, the game is more than just trick-or-treating. There are costumes to unlock in the game,which help to get you more candy to sell to the noob. Certain NPCs give you missions to do, which can yield cool rewards, including pets. The missions are challenging, but worthwhile, however some are just too hard.

*Scripting*
2/3
This is one of the more interesting things in the game. Under the hood, the game has simple GUIs, that even SAVE! It also has a store for costumes and bags (to store more candy), and asks you if you want to wear your previous costume (if you have one). It also shows your quests and their status, with pets. However, there is no auto-save present, so you have to remember to save/load by pressing their buttons, which is quite a bummer.

*Originality*
1/1
Who else has though of this? I don't think so.

*Conclusion*
7/10 (Satisfying)
Lion had made a few games when it comes to holidays. This is one of them, and it is excellent, as usual. However, you should know that Lion is making a new game for Halloween, but if you can't wait, play this game until the new game comes out.
