We're back! / Overview

After many, many months of inactivity, we're back. So much stuff has happened in these past months, including the Halloween 2013 event, The Witching Hour. The goal of this game was to collect 31 BLOXikins and defeat the final boss. You got to keep every BLOXikin you collected as a hat, and also for your efforts you got several bonus hats depending on how many you collected. These bonus hats were-

Halloween Checkered Bowtie - Earned by collecting one BLOXikin. Just a basic orange and black bowtie. Not bad for the couple minutes of effort it would have taken you to collect just one.

Spookoween Hat - Earned by collecting five BLOXikins. It's a reddish bowler with Halloween-type stuff on it. Pretty standard, but five BLOXikins is not very many.

Amethyst Vampire Collar - Earned by collecting ten BLOXikins. It's a retexture of the original Vampire Collar but with a purple inside. Pretty cool.

Bat Phones - Earned by collecting fifteen BLOXkins. White and purple headphones with bats on the side. Headphones are always good prizes.

Noir Riddling Skull - Earned by collecting twenty BLOXikins. A darker colored version of the original Riddling Skull. Who would have known that in 2008 when the original Riddling Skull was released that five years laters they would put out a new one?

Purple Pumpkin Inferno - Earned by collecting twenty five BLOXikins. This is... odd. It's a retexture of the original Pumpkin Inferno from 2010.

Cloak of the Living Dead - Earned by collecting thirty BLOXikins. It's basically a purple vampire cape that matches the Amethyst Vampire Collar.

Orange Banded Top Hat - Earned by collecting every BLOXikin and defeating the final boss. If you actually had the patience to get this, congratulations. This is the sixth banded top hat after the red, purple, green, blue, and yelow versions. This top hat uses the newer mesh.



In other Top Hat news...

W's Top Hat went on sale for one hour on Friday. It was 4500 R$. This Top Hat was one of the rarest ones before it went back on sale. It's still moderately rare with 516 sales.

News: Changes, changes, changes! + Item Review: Dual Darkhearts

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, but while we were gone many changes have happened. The Dual Darkhearts have been released, the forum lagposting fad has come and gone (somewhat), and most importantly, the 2.0 body has gone NBC!

2.0 Body now NBC

It's actually happened- the 2.0 body has gone NBC. Why? We don't know. We do know that nothing good can come from this.

Lagposting Trend


Yes, lagposting. This can be done by clicking "post" tons of times and refreshing instantly. It used to be insanely popular, but not so much anymore after the mods got strict about it.

Item Review: Dual Darkhearts


The Dual Darkhearts were released on February 28th, 2013.

Ratings

Price - 2/10

While compared to the price of the normal Darkheart, 60,000 R$ sounds like a steal. However, many people say this was a bit too much- it took almost three days to sell out. It was very successful after selling out, though.

Usefulness - 10/10

If you thought the Dual Illuminas were good, wait until you see these- they do as much damage as the Dual Illuminas, but you steal the health for yourself! With these in hand, nothing can stop you.

Look - 10/10

The same fashion as the Dual Illuminas, but I think these look slightly better.

Rarity - 9/10

There's 100 of these out there, And the current RAP is about 85,000 R$. Good luck getting ahold of one.

Overall Score - 8/10

This gear would have been nearly perfect if not for the initial price, but it's still very successful nonetheless.

News: Forum Revamp!

                      New                                                Old
                                
The "Old" image was taken right after the previous forum update which is why it's out of order.

Yet another major update to the ROBLOX forums. This is a revamption update. All of the icons, the New Thread button, and the Post Reply button have all been changed. This update is actually kind of sad, it gives the forums an entirely new atmosphere, taking away that way-too familiar feeling that most frequent posters know. Here are some more images of the new layout-

News/Item Review: BiggerHead

"OMG WAT THE HECK IS DAT??"


Ahh, the BiggerHead. One of the rarest hats of all time. When you see someone wearing this hat, you know they mean business. But wait... w-why is it on sale...? I thought this was supposed to be a super rare hat only for the people who stuck with ROBLOX since the beginning! Whatever the case, it's back on sale for a week.


Ratings

Price - 10/10

550 R$. Back when this hat was originally released, that was a crazy amount of money. Only a few people who had worked hard to earn the money could afford it. Today, however, almost anyone who's had BC can afford it. It's too cheap for being one of the greatest hats of all time. It's sold more in the past two days then it sold in it's original two and a half years when it was released. Most of the people of ROBLOX are amazed and happy they actually have a chance at obtaining this legend, but the few active original owners of this hat are angry. There isn't anything that can be done on their side of the story. Let's just hope the BigHead isn't next.

Look - 10/10

Again, this hat is legendary. Until yesterday, all anyone could do was just gawk at it and hope for a miracle. No one really knows why this hat is so epic, but it can definitely be said that it's charm is no longer so captivating.

Overall Score - 10/10

While not as insanely epic as it once was, the BiggerHead still maintains that certain indescribable awesomeness.
