Roblox Endless Summer Livestream and Labor Day Sale
What’s up RoGo readers! Today I’m going to be writing about the most recent ROBLOX event, the Endless Summer Camp Out! This event has two main parts to it: The Twitch livestream and the Labor Day Sale, so this article will be divided up into two parts, one for each.
The Twitch Livestream
Starting at 7pm CST/5pm PST on September 4th, ROBLOX began their all-night stream on twitch.tv. Throughout the night, they played games with different ROBLOX employees, played real games like Headbands, and hosted Twitch streamers who were playing ROBLOX games. This lasted all night, with no breaks as far as I know, and is still going on as I write this article.
I bought VIP access just to take this picture XD
Players were encouraged to hang out at the event headquarters, the Endless Summer Camp Out place, where players can chill, collect marshmallows, hang out in an underground VIP hangout (modeled after the Mos Eisley Cantina from Star Wars) and occasionally vote for the next game played if an admin joins your server. If you didn’t get the Livestreamin’ Lizard Bloxikin from the 100k Twitch Follower Celebration, you can also find him here.
All through the night, ROBLOX players from all over the world were streaming ROBLOX games over Twitch, and occasionally, would be hosted by ROBLOX on their stream!
I got to be on the ROBLOX stream last night!
The ROBLOX staff members attempted to interact with the streamers, but because of the massive delays on both streams, it kinda just ended up with both people sitting awkwardly on either side. It was still pretty awesome getting to see myself on the ROBLOX stream, especially since it was my first time streaming with my webcam.
Overall, I really enjoyed the livestreaming portion of the event this weekend. I feel like ROBLOX could have really done some more work with the interaction between the streamers and the staff to eliminate that awkwardness, but it was still fun. I really hope they do something like this again in the future.
The Labor Day Catalog Sale
If you’re reading this the day that I posted the article, you’re in luck! Its Day 2 of the Labor Day Catalog sale, and it lasts all the way through Monday, September 7th. ROBLOX will be putting a ton of awesome hats, gear, and packages on sale all weekend, as well as releasing some awesome new hats!
The Duchess of the Federation, an anticipated item for this sale.
A couple weeks ago, ROBLOX released a survey open to anyone to get feedback about which items they wanted to be a part of the sale, and now its finally here! Keep an eye on the catalog this weekend to see what items you might be able to snag!
Overall, I’m really enjoying this event. I feel like the games team needs to step up their game (no pun intended) a bit with the event places still, as this one was buggy and somewhat pointless to go to, unless you wanted the Bloxikin. Other than that, everything was pretty great, and I look forward to seeing how ROBLOX is going to pull of their next event.
Hopefully you enjoyed my article. Happy Labor Day RoGo readers!
