10 years on ROBLOX! My story: Part 1 - How it all began...

 Hey guys!! So a few days ago marked the 10th anniversary of my first ROBLOX account ever.. so to celebrate, I thought it would be a nice idea to share my story on ROBLOX with y'all! So let's take a trip down memory lane shall we? (PS this is going to be quite long so prepare!)

It all started on one regular day circa 2011. I just got home from kindergarten and hopped straight on the family computer and went on some obscure flash game website. (remember flash games?? </3) I LOVED shooting games back then, so of course I had to play a shooting game. But as I was looking for something to play, I suddenly got distracted by an ad. I unfortunately can't really remember what it looked like (unsurprisingly, since this was over a decade ago) but one thing is certain: it was captivating enough to make me click it... and did little 6 year old me know that that moment would change my life forever...

When I clicked on the ad, I was greeted by this lovely sight:

Anyone remember the old website??

At that time I thought it was just another one of those flash game sites I was used to. I clicked on a game which seemed most appealing to me called 'Logride' (yes I still remember after all these years!) If you're curious, this is what it looks like:

You can still play it and it looks just like how it did back then. Check it out here!

When I clicked the big green 'Play' button, it asked me to download the game first. Being a silly 6 year old, completely unaware about viruses, I did what I was told to (because it's totally safe to download random stuff from the internet!)

After waiting for the game to install on my ancient computer which took FOREVER, the game finally started... and boy was the waiting worth it. When I spawned in for the first time, I looked like this:

Remember those annoying & obnoxious guests? Yeah... I was one of them.. for like the longest time :T

Since I couldn't speak english back then, I had absolutely no idea how to make an account (or how to do anything in general LMAO). As a matter of fact, when I first joined, I didn't even know you COULD make an account. I was so bummed when I finally realized that I needed an account to customize my character and look like those 'cool kids' T_T

Anyways moving on... basically the point of Logride is pretty simple... just ride a log to the end and win. Sounds generic & boring now, but back then I thought that was the funnest thing EVER!! I remember playing that game for what felt like ages, exploring the map & messing around with the gears at the end. For the rest of that day I did nothing but play this awesome lego-like game I just found. I was so fascinated!

That's when I realized that ROBLOX wasn't just any game, it was something new & different.. and I loved it! Since then, every day after kindergarten I would hop on the computer as per usual, but instead of playing the same old flash games, I'd play roblox, excited to explore all the newest games the platform had to offer! It was a blast :)

That's all for part 1! In the next part, which is coming very soon, I'll be talking about the day I made my first account ever and a few other stories from back then. See y'all next time! Kisses xoxo

UPDATE: Part 2 is finally out!! Read it here :D
