RoGo Magazines Issue #8

12/25/2011

Introduction: Welcome to the Holiday issue of RoGo Magazine! This is our biggest and best issue of 2011! This issue has an interview with Stickmasterluke, information we released early during the RoGo Convention, and a special

surprise, The RoGo Awards! You may have noticed that this issue was released a little later then all the previous ones, instead of 2 weeks from the last issue, it’s been 3 weeks. That is because we want this to be the best

issue ever! This issue had all three teams work on it, including the Presidents. We have some new sections as well, such as RoTextures and Fan Art! So get ready for the longest RoGo Magazine you’ve ever read!

Gear Reviews:

Santa's Jolly Jetpack

There's delivering presents and then there's doing it in style. With Santa's Jolly Jetpack, you can fly to just about anywhere.

Being the first jetpack to be made (besides a rentable test one), this is quite a popular item. I totally recommend it.

Shagabash

Holidaysplosion

Do you think Christmas is da bomb? With this holly, jolly grenade, every room can be very merry. Just pull the pin, throw it, and

watch Christmas items fly everywhere! If you are a slow decorator, this gear is a must have to prepare for the holidays!

Comwizard

The Merry Avenger Limited

His vengeance is swift and just..... And merry! That’s right, the Merry Avenger! This is almost a one hit KO weapon Just a slash takes halflife away! It’s tough and turns bricks and your enemies

to gold!

Annoying Elf: ReeseMcBlox Limited

This elf is bound to get you frustrated. With its highpitched voice, and its annoying actions, there is no way to stop you from going

insane! Although on first glance she seems kind, wearing her vibrant pink cloak, but believe me you don't know her well

enough.

BraveWalrus

Annoying Elf: Finsurf Limited

In a bluegreen uniform, another one of Santa's helpers has arrived! From far back, you won’t know if he is cute or evil. Both are

wrong. He is ANNOYING. Since he is so small, he is a little troublemaker always looking for something to go mess up.

Christmangirl

Snowman Cannon

The Snowman Cannon. It is great for snow battles! Click and hold to create a snowman turret. You can only have three turrets at a

time, so place them wisely! To attack, press "Q" then click a player or a turret to destroy it!

Pogostick

Deluxe Snowball Cannon 3000

Faster than any other snowball cannon on the market. The Deluxe Snowball Cannon 3000 can fire multiple shots in quick succession. It does no damage, though it blind it’s target. The perfect weapon

for a snowball fight!

Pogostick

Santa's Sleigh

So, you hear stories about how Santa flies around, delivering gifts to angelic children. Well, now you can live it! This gear allows you to fly nonstop, wherever you want to go! However, it is a little pricy, so don't go getting excited yet. My suggestion? Buy it if you have

the money, otherwise, don't stress it.

Blizzard Wand Limited

The Great Blizzard Wand beckons you towards the limitless power of snow, all in the palm of your hand. With one flick of your arm, the Wand summons a flurry that freezes your surrounding opponents, and makes snow dance across your screen. A wonderous weapon

indeed.

ROBLOX Updates:

New Terrain Materials Recently, ROBLOX created 12 new terrain materials. Some of the new textures are different metals, 2 types of

plastic, 2 types of wood, and different rocks. Along with these new materials, they also came out with a material painter. This material painter allows you to edit the terrain using the plugin. The plugin is given out through

everyone's builtin plugins. With these materials, it gives builders a large opportunity to create many different games. The one material I am still waiting for is Snow. I wonder when they come out with that?

RoGo Scripting Help:



12/25/2011

I think a lot of you hate reading, so I added lots of photos :3

Now, most of us might not know how to edit and build a script. First you got to open studio mode: (Only on windows)

Go to Start, then search: roblox studio It should pop up, and when you find the current game you want to edit press:

Then, a whole new thing will appear! Now, you should see something called explorer on your screen that looks like this:

(If you don’t see it, go to the top and press: View>Explorer)

What are all that stuff you might ask? That’s the stuff in your workspace. The workspace is every visible thing you see in your game. Bricks and models will go in here. :D (Also Camera.)

(If your explorer doesn't look like the one above that’s okay! This one is mine from a game that is finished! It will show everything that YOUR game has!)

Now, you would notice that some stuff has a + beside it. That means there is stuff in it. Press the + or double

click the word to open inside of it.

A Script has the Icons like this: Double click it to view the script. If you want to insert a script, at the top press: Insert>Object and this will pop up:

That’s everything you can INSERT. :D (If you have something selected in the explorer, it will insert into the

selected object. If you don’t, it will just automatically go to the workspace. So, find Script. (Which is at the bottom middle for me.) There’s also something called: LocalScript. We will learn more about that later. We will do normal

script, so press script then press OK.

Then you inserted a script. :D When you open the script up, (by double clicking it.) It will look like this:

Reporter’s Corner:

What would you like from Roblox as an update?

Reporting to you live from the RoGo Copter, I am Chriseon, and I am here to give you my newest story that you all seem to enjoy. This week I came across this question, and asked the public. One of the Responses I got was from AnnaBananaSplitz. She commented "I would like to see fonts on the forums." Crazyguy66the2nd also

commented. He said he would like to see "less lag". I was looking into it, and made up a list of updates I would like to see. I would like to see the ability to use studio mode in Personal Build Servers. I would also like to see

the ability to use HTML tags on forums and your blurb. Have any other Ideas? Pm them to me and you may be put in a User thought of the week (If we ever start something like that) or talk about it on the RoGo wall. I am reporter

Chriseon wishing you a happy holidays, and now signing off.

Christmas on ROBLOX. This year, and last year, how do they compare?

Ahhh, at last, Christmas time is here. It's really the time of year that Robloxians look forward to getting new items, collecting gifts, and so forth. But how good has this Christmas been? Was last year better? For me, I

wasn't active for last Christmas, so I headed to the forums to get other people's opinions. Here is what they had to say on the matter. Superzac8 says : "I love the fact that they used the same classic present model for all of them. I certainly enjoyed this Christmas because it felt like all the stupid things I did in the past two years are

paying off." Tiger12289 says : "I enjoyed this year. The gifts are turning out much better than I expected. It makes up for the gifts that they made last year, which was a disappointment." Lightoftruth says : "I think that ROBLOX

could have made this Christmas better by having a official ROBLOX Christmas game." So with all of that feedback, I think in general, Robloxians feel like this year was better for Christmas, but there could have been some

improvements. What I would like to address though, is what makes Christmas special. It's not about whether you got the gifts free, or if you had to buy Robux to get them. It's really about who you spend Christmas with. So

with that, this is me, Heatran20, signing off. I wish you a Merry Christmas [And a Happy New Year].

What does Christmas mean to ROBLOXia?

Hi, RoGo Readers! This is my first report for the big Christmas Issue! Welcome! It's Christmas season, so I decided to do a COMMUNITY report, like Chiseon for Team B usually does. Before I begin my report, I would like to dedicate this community report IDEA to another staff member, Christmangirl, Editor for Team B. Which, she

told me her name was supposed to be Christmasgirl, and she made a typing error. Ironic. It's Christmas season right now, lol.

Anyway, on with the report! First, I made a forum post on it in the 'ROBLOX Talk Forums' titled "What does Christmas mean to you?". Which that post got 75 replies total! Some of them were talking about the true

meaning of Christmas and being nice and sentimental, while some other were funny. I'm giving an excerpt of the ones I like the most in this report.

BESTn00bpwnzer said "It's all about being with family and friends!". Ironman5747 said "Christmas is that time of the year where families unite, have a magical feast together, and have fun with friends, share gifts with

everyone, and especially celebrate the birth of Jesus and say thanks that he died to save us". AnnaBananaSplitz said "Where you have fun giving presents and remembering what Christmas really is, and also getting together with family, and opening presents :D". And I even got a reply from NintendoZACHERY! He said "I usually spend my Christmas either giving away free admin for my games (ROBLOX), or giving away Robux for free. I feel the gift of

giving is the best you can afford.". ZACHERY is nice when he said "I feel the gift of giving is the best you can afford" :). FunteristicMichael said "Christmas is a day to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Also, about getting together

with family and friends and giving.", which is nice. But my favorite reply must be by snickers229, which I had also met at the RoGo Convention. She said

"Christmas, to me, means about spending time with family and having a good time. I also think that Christmas is a time of giving thanks that you are able to be with family. And of course Christmas means to me the real reason

why it even started in the first place: because it's the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Anyway, That's it for this! I know you gave your time to read this whole thing! It's pretty long! Well, Merry

Christmas to all. To some, Happy Hanukkah. And also, Happy New Year!!!

Questions and Answers: Question: What is the best part of having a successful magazine on ROBLOX? xGEaZYx Answer: The fans. Without them, RoGo will be nothing. They help support RoGo in so many ways. Without them, this section you are reading now will be pointless. Thanks to all the fans! Question: How popular do you think RoGo will become in time? Nicechuck98 Answer: We hope RoGo gets very popular. We are doing as much as we can to get the word out. Advertising is one thing, but with all the fans, they could help help even further. The more people tell about RoGo, the more successful it becomes.

Freeze Tag

Reviewed By:Shagabash

TwoShue's "Freeze Tag" is a classic game that never seems to get old. It proves that simple games can sometimes be the most fun. The gameplay

consists of the taggers, chasing other people around 16 amazingly wellbuilt maps. In a nutshell, you should come right over!

Role Play as an Epic Duck

Ever get tired of playing games as your ROBLOX avatar? Me too! That is why this game is so much fun! When you enter the game, you are able to be a duck, how cool right? There are a variety of colors that you are able to be, and endless

possibilities of things to do! Don't wait, go play "Role play as an Epic Duck" right away!

Find the Epic Faces

Reviewed By: GATES321123

This is a hunt game, in which you must try and find ALL of the epic face badges. There are 71 badges to find, and all of them are difficult in their own way. How will you get them all? What strategy will you use? Teamwork will probably be

your best option. See if you can try to get them, and then make sure you PM me and tell me how to get them.

Hear that? That, my friends, is the sound of you having super awesome fun at the Atlanta Motor Speedway! Just cruising on the track, the wind in your pixels,

the sweet smell of burning rubber. You've never lived until you've played paul2448's games.

Interview: Stickmasterluke

1. What is it like working for ROBLOX? It's great. Long commute, but it's awesome working with people that I used to only know as virtual characters.

2. What is your favorite thing to do on ROBLOX? Making games bring me some hidden entertainment. 3. What is your favorite game on ROBLOX? That is a very tough question. First of all, I don't go around

exploring games all that often. All the games are great in their own unique way. I really have no exact answer. Sorry.

4. How did you hear about ROBLOX? This was four years ago, but as much as I remember. I am pretty sure I was surfing YouTube and I saw some physics video with a bunch of moving parts and it looked fun to mess around with. It was.

5. Do you have any tips for beginning scripters? Scripting is just like everything else. Anything is achievable if you have the ambition and the effort.

6. What is your biggest goal on ROBLOX? I guess, just continuing the produce games that players find entertaining.

7. Do you plan on reading RoGo every other week? Well, I have never heard of it until now, but I would not mind reading some. Every other week sounds good I guess. Lol.

8. Do you have anything else to say to the readers of RoGo? If you have ambition, be sure to put it to good use.

RoFashion

Welcome to RoFashion, readers! This is a new part of the magazine. Here we will talk about the latest trends in clothing, and I will feature two shirts from the RoGo catalog (Search up RoGoFashion in the people section for the

catalog)

Lately I have been seeing a lot of people making Vests/ Waistcoats / Tuxes, and all of that. The vest really gives

you a sophisticated look, but still gives a very relaxed feeling. They also go with virtually any hat! This Vest is in RoGo's signature colours, Red and white, or grey. It's definitely for the more sophisticated

members of RoGo, so if you like this look, go to our catalog to get it.

There have also been a lot of patterns, like stripes, rays, all different types. When you are wearing a nice pattern,

it is very pleasing to the eye, and who knows? It might make people like you better. This arrangement of Rays in a circular direction gives the impression of movement, and it leaves the impression of "I know what I am wearing, and I know that I look good." And with Christmas coming around the corner, what

better to wear than festive colours! [Tip of the Issue] Don't like to wear a lot of colour? That's okay! If you like to wear neutral tones in your clothing, all you have to do to spice it up is add a little bit of colour in your hats. That way, you don't look like TieDye gone

wrong. You maintain a balanced look. That's it for this edition! Next week I will have two more shirts, and some more tips for you. If you would like to look at some more RoGo style clothing, search up 'RoGoFashion' in the 'People' section. If you would like to

suggest a new RoFashion design, PM Christmangirl.

Zozoezos, Team A Editor and RoFashion Designer. Christmangirl, Team B Editor and RoFashion Administrative Head.

RoTextures Welcome to the new page to RoGo Magazines! This is a special page were YOU, the fans, send in suggestions on new retexutres you think should be featured in RoGo Magazines. Since this is the first time having this in the

magazine, I chose one of my retextures. Our goal for this page is to get the word out. Tell everyone about these amazing retextures. Each issue, we will have a retexture featured in the magazine. If you like it, favorite it or take

it as a free model. The more people that favorite or take it gives the retexture a greater chance at getting published into a real hat.



12/25/2011

First, Uncle Sam. Then came Uncle Zom, Uncle Sean, and Uncle Bunny. There is lots of retextures for this hat, but what about Christmas? Christmas deserves to have an uncle to represent the holiday! This top hat is perfect for the holidays. Green and red is just a start, but with snowflakes? That brings out the color. This fashionable hat

will make your user stand out among the crowd.

Fan Art Current Topic: RoGo Presidents

Think your an artist? Do you have the skills to be in a magazine? Here is the perfect place for you. This section is a place were you. Each issue, we will have a topic or an object. Your job is to draw the object to the best of your abilities. When you are done, send the message to RoGoMagazine with a link to the image. (Must be uploaded as

a decal.) The presidents will pick their favorites and put them in the magazine! Get drawing!

RoGo Convention

We would like to start off to thank everyone who joined us at the RoGo Convention this pass weekend. Together, RoGo has sold 861 passes and raised a total of raised 300,812 tickets. These sales will go towards ads for RoGo. If you missed the convention, don't worry! We will be making a video that will go over the highlights and the PowerPoint presentation soon. There will also be an article about it in the Christmas issue of Rogo. Keep

updated to the website for more information. To answer the question that has been asked many of times at the convention, there MAY be another convention next year. So, once again, thank you for everyone who came and

helped make this convention possible.
