Fuel for the fire:

The web backend of roblox is very impressive but the in-game experience is complete stuff.  It boggles my mind how bad it is.  Moving around is completely broken - it's jerky, there's no interpolation, you penetrate walls when you run into them, you penetrate the floor when you jump, there is no client side prediction of collision.  Shooting is a complete joke - I have literally never seen a shooting mechanic that is worse.  The camera goes through walls, gets stuck, jerks around.  You can die mysteriously when walking down stairs or jumping into the ceiling.  Every build is floating so you often are flung off of the world and fall forever.  The character animation and gui look like what you would make in 5 minutes to debug something.  With 1000 blocks loaded, i get ~50 fps on my super computer - in Blockland I get like 950+.  The whole thing is like a student project that has gone out of control.  

Roblox only thrives because it aggressively markets to children who have never played a real game before and thus do not realize how broken everything is.  Some of those children happen to be the rare combination of mentally ill and rich, so they pay the $300.  Anyone who has played quake, tribes, battlefield*, TF2, HL2, or any real game on the pc simply cannot tolerate how bad roblox is.

Roblox is a financially successful community site and I respect it for that, but it is simply not in the same league as Blockland in terms of gameplay.  

Most of this is true when I sampled Roblox yesterday for the second time.
I was firing rockets while moving, I ended up hitting myself. Sometimes not even moving I would hit myself.

I don't have any of my own fuel for the fire now.

ROBLOX is a copy of BlockLand. if you noticed the bullstuffy mods took the time to  switch the studs into squares, just like BlockLand. They also purposly blocked BlockLand on the fourms cause they don't want us to drive them out of the game.
Its pure BS.

Blockland doesn't have a capital L.

I smell that someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, unseeingly raging over Road blocks.

Tried it. It was boring, even with over 50 players. Hated it.

Im more tired the sleeping on the wrong side of the bed.

If you play 1 day of ROBLOX, you will have a headache, lasting 1 day.
The games are idiotic.

Who the forget wants to get eaten by Bob, or kill zombies with a mp5 by shooting back while aiming foward.
Obstical courses that are too easy to beat, and the same unoriginal bs.

Well, Tribes got boreing now.

Tribes was nice the first time it came out. Super Spartan Master Cheif jumping. Owning people with rocket launchers and guns as your a cyborg. Yep, the good ol'days.

Though roblox went overboard with it. Front page has 10 obstical courses maps. Though the thing is ROBLOX players are money hungery when on the front page. They would copy a place, ruin something or do ANYTHING to get money.
