Best Cheap Hats on Roblox!

You don't have to be rich to look good on Roblox. There are loads of high quality, fashionable hats available for just a few Robux or Tickets. This means all of you people without Builders Club can still buy awesome hats and people that do have a lot of Robux can save some of their money! I have picked out my favorite hats available to buy from the Roblox catalog today, all costing under 100 Robux or 1000 Tickets!

Red Animal Hood

Price: R$50

With over 50,000 sales, this unique hat goes with many different outfits. Despite the cheap price, the hat still has a lot of detail, such as the cool design on the back of the hood. 

Canvas Cap

Price: 10 TIX

This affordable cap may look like an old man's hat at first glance, but I have found that it works with a variety of outfits, such as this Gothic look shown above. This is a must buy cap!

Beautiful Brown Hair for Beautiful People

Price: R$95

One of the most popular hair styles on Roblox, this hair can look good on both boys and girls. Keep an eye out, as this hat is regularly reduced during Roblox sales! You can also buy this hat in black for the same price.

Paper Hat

Price: R$30

This classic hat looks great on its own or with other hats, such as the Beautiful Brown Hair shown above. It has over 150,000 sales and is worn by many of the most fashionable people on Roblox.

New York Cap

Price: R$25

Despite being so cheap, this trendy beanie still has under 4000 sales. I wear it in a lot of my outfits and would go as far to say it is one of my favorite Roblox hats. Definitely worth buying.

UMADBRO Cap

Price: R$30

U mad bro cuz I own this hella sweet cap? You should be, because it looks amazing! 

L8r Sk8r

Price: R$88

There are loads of skater hats on Roblox, but this one is my favorite. If you want to go for the skater look, I would definitely recommend you buy this hat!

Puffer Fish

Price:  R$52

Want to stand out from the crowd? Wearing a Puffer Fish on your head should do the trick! Although it looks funny, it also looks good with certain outfits.

Nerd Glasses

Price: R$30

These glasses are one of the best selling items in the Roblox catalog, with over 350,000 sales! They look great with almost every outfit and are worth the money. If you haven't already bought these, I would recommend you do.

Hibiscus Porkpie

Price: R$100

Not everyone likes this hat as much as me, but I think it looks great! There aren't any other hats on Roblox that look like it and it works with so many outfits, both male and female.

If you want to try any of these hats on before you buy them, as well as almost every other hat in the Roblox catalog, then I suggest you play Seranok's Catalog Heaven. The Roblox game allows you to try almost any hat on for free, along with gear, faces, packages and more! Click the link below to play it.

I might make a sequel to this post, so feel free to comment or message me on Roblox any hats you think deserve to be on this list! I hope this helped you discover some new, cheap Roblox hats.

Spongebob Squarepants hat on ROBLOX!

*This is no longer a necessary way to obtain the hat because Roblox have released it in the catalog for 1 Ticket*
 Do you want to look as cool as me, with this little Spongebob on your Robloxian's shoulder? Well now you can, because I'm going to show you how to get the Spongebob Squarepants hat on Roblox for free!

Log onto Roblox.com and sign into your account. You don't need to be a builders club member to get the hat. Now copy and paste this link into the URL box: http://www.roblox.com/advertising/grant-asset?assetId=208660809


This message should now pop up, confirming that you have been rewarded the hat.

When you click "ok", it will then take you to the Spongebob Squarepants movie 2 website. The hat should now be in your inventory for you to wear!

Hat review:
Personally I think the hat is a bit too small and would possibly be better as a package, but as a Spongebob fan I still really like it! It will probably be available until the film is no longer being shown at the cinema. I think it would be cool if Roblox also release similar hats for the other Spongebob Squarepants characters, as I know that a lot of people would like to collect them all, including myself!

If you have any questions then leave a comment or message me on Roblox, link to my profile below.

Bandana of the Month on Roblox

Yesterday (24 January 2015) we saw the release of a new Roblox hat, called BotM: January Chicken Bandana.

The bandana cost R$100 and had a time limit. Once the time ran out, the hat became unavailable.

You might remember that every month last year Roblox released a different "Chicken of the month". Each month the chicken heads became more expensive. I am guessing that the same thing will happen with these new Bandana of the Month hats. There is a chance that this bandana might become limit, because last year January's "Chicken of the Month" also went limited, however it is not yet known whether it will or not. There could also be a gift in this year's "Giftsplosion" which is given out to people that collect every bandana, but again this is just an idea.

It was clever that Roblox did a crossover with the "Chicken of the Month" from last year and the new "Bandana of the Month" for this year.

Make sure you keep an eye out for February's Bandana of the Month, which will probably be released roughly this time next month for a limited time only!

Mad Paintball by Loleris Grand Opening Review - ROBLOX

There was a massive new game release today, so big it messed up ROBLOX's front page and the "visiting count". Mad Paintball is Loleris's first major new game release since his extremely popular game "The Mad Murderer" came out earlier this year. The excitement just before the game was released was crazy, with loads of people playing on the testing server all day along side Loleris, who was making last minute adjustments. People were, and still are, commenting on the game almost every single second, with the game receiving more comments than most new ROBLOX catalog items! Just one hour after release, Mad Paintball made it to the front page of the games page.

Within seconds of release, the game already had 5 pages of servers, with each server holding 20 people. Some servers glitched, allowing 21 and even 22 people into a single game, as so many people were joining at the same time.
Other famous Robloxians such as SmoothBlockModel took part in the grand opening party, as well as Loleris himself, attracting thousands of players.
Loleris also released an advert for the game, which helped attract players.







On the right you can see that it says more players are online than the game has ever been visited. This just shows how popular the game already is!

And below you can see a screenshot of me playing the test server for Mad Paintball along side Loleris, just minutes before the main game was released!

So far the game has received fairly positive feedback, currently with 221 thumbs up and 55 thumbs down, many of the people disliking the game being haters of Loleris and not because they dislike the game. Some people dislike the fact that you can not jump, and also that you die if you fall into the pool. There are also many bugs and glitches as the game is new, however these will soon be fixed.

Loleris says that upcoming updates include:

-New round types!
-Plenty of maps!
-New Characters!
-New Accessories!

As it stands, the game is very similar to existing paintball games, such as Daxter33's "Paintball!", ScriptOn's "Paintball Testing" and Miked's "Ultimate Paintball", however in the future the game will hopefully become more unique and very likely become extremely popular.

Thanks for reading, feel free to comment below and share your thoughts on Loleris's newest game!

ROBLOX Hallow's Eve 2014 - Prizes, Maps and Tutorials!

It's officially Bloxtober on ROBLOX.com which means loads of new hats, gifts, free items and one huge game! This year's game is Hallow's Eve created by the Roblox game team which includes maps by ROBLOX, Stickmasterluke and Gusmanak.

How to play

The aim of the game is to defend the massive cauldron from all sorts of monsters (such as zombies, werewolves and ghosts) by throwing your treats at them. Select the treats in your backpack by clicking on it or by pressing 1 on your keyboard and simply click to throw your sweets. Each round is three minutes long, however if the cauldron's health goes all the way down to 0 the round is over and the monsters win. If the cauldron still has health (the health bar for the cauldron is shown at the bottom right of the screen) by the time the three minutes are up, the players win!

As well as the monsters, in each map there is one big boss such as Vlad the vampire. If you destroy them as well, you win a free hat! You also win hats from killing the monsters.

You can view the Hallow's Eve page under the Events tab on the ROBLOX website for more information.

Free Prizes!

Here are all of the free prizes you can win:

For those wondering, you get the Macho Taco simply by killing a "Dawnzilla" in the game. 

Some of these hats are much harder to get than others, so it will take a while to collect them all.

There are also 11 badges to earn in the game.

Gear for Hallow's Eve

You can also buy a number of different gears with your Robux, which you can use in the game to make it easier. They are shown below:

These are the only items you can use in the game, no other gear can be used. However once the game is closed early next month these items will not have much use.

There is another gear called the Troll Summoner which currently only admins can use. When they use it, players in the server can get the Obvious Troll hat.

Hallow's Eve is extremely popular, it has been out for under 24 hours and already had over 200,000 place visits and also had over 10,000 people playing it at the same time. The games like:dislike ratio is much better than the previous ROBLOX event games.

Here is a link to the game: http://www.roblox.com/Hallows-Eve-2014-The-Witching-Hour-Returns-place?id=180331551

I hope this blog article has helped you and if you have any questions leave a comment or send me a message on ROBLOX.

Roblox Egg Hunt 2014 - Map, Eggs and Items!

It's that time of year again Robloxians! Time to put all your other favourite Roblox games on pause
for a couple of weeks and play Roblox's Egg Hunt game non-stop and collect as many eggs as possible! The game was open for a couple of hours earlier however it has been taken down for around 24 hours due to some issues with the game *cry*.
Anyway, when the egg hunt game is back up and running (which it might be by the time you read this article) here are some of the eggs you will have to try and find throughout all 5 (yes 5!!!!) maps.

(not including the sword pack, that came out of an egg basket)

 



There are some amazing and crazy looking eggs available this year as you can see!
As well as the eggs, you can also purchase a number of items from the Roblox catalog to help you find those pesky eggs!

All of these items (excluding the scarf) help you in one way or another to find the eggs. To find what each item does, read the description of each item in the catalog and choose which one to buy (I would recommend the "Rare Egg Compass" as a guide to find the harder and rarer eggs).

Each map is based on a different era of time, however at the moment little is known about what the 4th and 5th levels will have in store.

Also, not all of the eggs are hidden within the game. Some eggs are hidden around the site or require you to have a certain number of friends for example.
I will update this blog when the egg hunt is re-released and try to show you where as many of the eggs are hidden as possible!
Here is what the description of the game says:

"Lucky Lapin, collector of many rare and fabulous eggs, has been attacked by Rabid Rabbit, his evil counterpart from an alternative
Eggverse.

Rabid and his minion horde planned to kidnap Lucky, steal his eggs for themselves and escape back to their own Eggverse. But something went wrong... in their escape, the teleport device used by Rabid and his minions malfunctioned.

An unknown number of eggs are now scattered across the Eggverse, in different places and times; some even managed to sneak out on ROBLOX.com.
Where are they? Will you find them all?

Some are easy to find.
Some are difficult.
Some require individual cunning.
Some require teamwork.
Some are the key to being able to progress through the hunt.

Battle the minions, find the lost eggs, and make your way to Rabid's fortress to free Lucky and save the Eggverse. Time is short... but the rewards are great. The hunt is on!"

As always, thanks for reading and take care!

ROBLOX Cat update - April Fools joke 2014

Okay everyone, for any of you that threatened to quit Roblox because of their new "cat update", you can calm down and enjoy playing Roblox for another couple of years. "Why?" I hear you ask? Because, my friend, this whole update is an April Fools prank played by Roblox themselves.

THERE WILL BE NO CAT UPDATE!!!

Here is the video posted by Roblox in case you haven't watched it yet. Also check out their blog post here

How I know it's a joke? Well, since when has Roblox ever sprung an update as big as this on us without warning? Normally before any update there is at least two blog posts and it is mentioned on their live streams on Twitch. Also, is it just a crazy coincidence that this fake update is revealed on 1st April? Once you think it through it becomes quite obvious this is just a funny prank on us. For those that don't believe me, I'm sure Roblox will mention it on their blog or next live stream.

Well done Roblox, from reading the comments on the April Fools items in the catalog it is clear you have pranked many, many Robloxians.

Thanks for reading, keep an eye out on this blog for more Roblox updates (and pranks!)

How to throw the knife on Murder Mystery

A lot of people have been asking how you throw knives on the extremely popular Roblox game "Murder Mystery". When Nikilis added the feature, he wrote how to do it in the description, but since he has changed the description now, I thought I should show you. It's extremely simple, first you must wait for your turn to be the murderer. You know how likely you are to be the murderer by the percentage (%) in the bottom right corner on the screen, the higher the percentage, the more likely you are to be the murderer. Once you are the murderer and away from the Sheriff (if you know who it is), take out the knife by pressing 1/! on the keyboard or clicking the icon with the mouse. To swipe the knife you simply left click on the mouse, to throw the knife hold down left click and using the curser to aim, release the mouse. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but it's easy once you've got the hang of it.

Just a quick post, thanks for reading!

Chicken Of The Month - Roblox

Hey Robloxians world wide! Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I'll try to get back into blogging again now.

If you've been on the Roblox catalog today you will have seen an item called "CotM: January Camo Chicken" (a retexture of "Telamon's Chicken Suit" and the "Xanwood Chicken Hat") shown below:

CotM stands for "Chicken of the Month" and if you read the description, at the bottom it says "January's Chicken of the Month" so it sounds like this is going to be a new monthly thing to happen on Roblox.com throughout 2014. My guess is that every month, a new chicken hat will come out with a different design and be released for a limited amount of time (like the January one being available for 18 hours). Maybe they will all be on sale for R$100 or maybe the price will increase for each chicken as the months go on, or maybe the time limit will be shortened, making the hats more rare over time. Another possibility is that there will be a gift for the people who collected all of the chicken hats throughout the year in a future "Giftsplosion". Here are just some possibilities, but nobody is sure what will happen with the CotMs in the months to come.

Thanks for reading, and check back for more Roblox updates and news!

My entry to Shedletsky's Nuke the Whales competition!

I have created my own video entry to Shedletsky's competition ( scroll down to one of my recent posts for info) and I thought I should share it on this blog with you!

I hope you like it, it took to long days to make. Good luck to everyone of you who are also entering!

Shedletsky's video competition on Roblox!

Famous Roblox admin Shedletsky (Telamon) is holding a competition for Robloxians to make a 30 second long video game review of his game "Nuke the Whales". The winner will recieve R$5000 worth of items for their avatar, their video will be the thumb nail for the game and 2-3 people have the chance to win. Once you've made your film, upload it to YouTube and post a link to it on the forum he created, in the link below.

Here are the full details!

WANTED: HILARIOUS VIDEO GAME REVIEWS Posted: 08-22-2013 05:42 PM Hello. I am the genius behind Nuke the Whales (http://www.roblox.com/Nuke-the-Whales-2-New-Maps-place?id=110670). I am looking for 2-3 *hilarious* video reviews of my game (they don't have to be positive reviews, you can totally slam it if you want). My intent is to use them as video thumbnails for the game, so they need to be 30 seconds or less. Your review needs to be at least as wacky as my game for me to even consider using it. If you want to make a review for me, go do it. Then upload it to YouTube. Then post the link to your YouTube video as a reply to this post. What's in it for you, you might ask? You don't make videos for free, you say? I don't guarantee that I'll use any of the videos you guys post. But if I do use your video, I'll send you a trade for at least 5000 R$ worth of random items I happen to have laying around at the time. You must have BC to collect.      Good luck!

Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters on Roblox!

If you don't already know, Roblox has teamed up with the new movie, Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters. Two hats, a golden fleece (from the film), a special version of the popular game created by Shedletsky "Sword fights on the heights" (SFOTH) and a whole page are dedicated to the film. In this post I will show you how to win the fleece and show you all of the items released to celebrate the film which is released August 7th!

The two hats released don't look that amazing to be honest, the Despicable me 2 items were a lot better, however they only cost 1 ticket. To buy them click the catalog and search for them there.

You can also get this billboard for your own games for free!

To find the Percy Jackson Roblox page click on more at the top bar and click on the icon saying Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters as shown below.

 

That Will take you to the page below showing the trailer for the film, links to the items and SFOTH game along with information about the film.

 

In the next part of this blog I will show you how to get all of the swords to unlock the secret golden fleece, so if you want to work it out for yourself, don't read this next part.
First click on the game shown below on ROBLOX.com. (click here to go to the game).

 

When you join the game this notice will appear:

Basically, to win the fleece and earn a badge you have to find the 4 swords without dying, but if you die you have to start again. You can get killed by other players or kill them first on your quest. If you are familiar with SFOTH IV then this will be easy as the swords are hidden in the same places as that game. Each sword is hidden in two places, I will show you one of their places.

 

One sword is hidden here, along the disappearing panels and spinning poles.

 

Another is hidden next to the main arena and floating panels.

 

One is at the top of the escalators, between the columns where the Illumina is hidden on the original.

 

The axe sword is at the end of the high, thin paths at the far end of the map.

 

And the last is inside the mountain where the Darkheart is often hidden...

 

...In here

 

Once you have successfully gathered all of these swords, this notice will come up confirming that you have unlocked the Golden Fleece, badge and have the ability to fly!

So now you can fly and easily kill your enemies to stop them winning the fleece, but don't die or else you will loose that too! Have fun completing this task and I hoped I helped.


Here is what the film is about.

"Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon, continues his epic journey to fulfill his destiny, as he teams with his demigod friends to retrieve the Golden Fleece, which has the power to save their home and training ground, Camp Half-Blood. They embark on a dangerous journey into the Sea of Monsters (known to humans as the Bermuda Triangle) to search for the Golden Fleece."
