As you all know, MrShoe is the main developer of EE currently. Most people seem to dislike him. Why? I do not know. Anyhow, I’ve decided to start this new series called Review the Shoe. I will be reviewing MrShoe’s updates. Like him, or dislike him? Decided for yourself, but make sure you read the whole thread, because it might change your mind!
These are only my opinions, don’t hate on them. You’re free to post what you think of MrShoe and his updates on this thread. Don’t go "MRSHOE SUX CUZ HE ISA STOOPID PERSUN" or anything like that. Be mature. Have arguments, but not too heated. Make sure to provide a reason of why you hate or like MrShoe.
Anyway, back to Review the Shoe. Read on, but **beware, a giant wall of text is coming!**
**Easter 2012, Carnival Package, Sigh Smiley** : Our first review, and the first update of MrShoe! Hurray… now, onto the review. Easter 2012 is fine. It’s got these beautiful little patterned, colourful eggs… not a giant pack, just a little pack with Easter eggs. Now, the carnival package. I like it. Colourful stripes and patterns. What’s to hate about it? I do know the checkered black and white background hurts your eyes quite a lot. Though it is fixed, now and won’t hurt your eyes as much. Pretty good package, I’d say! Onto the sigh smiley. IT’S UGLY. No, really, it is. I don’t like it. That’s all to say about it. By this update, the majority of EE are thinking MrShoe is a good addition to Everybody Edits. I think so too.
**Friends** : Friends? Friends?! So epic! We can visit the level our friends in and… and… chat to them!! But don’t get too excited, it’s only for beta at the moment… anyway. I like it, I always wanted to chat without buying Chat. However, I dislike the fact that you have to use emails. I mean, people trying to friend me via my email doesn’t even work for some reason! It’d be much easier just to type the username you want friended, or something like that. Emails, really? This is a very good update overall, though. I love it. \<3 By now, majority of EE like MrShoe, as do I.
**Prison Package** : Ooh. A prison? To trap trolls? Sounds cool. Oh, and it looks like they chop your eyes when you go in the bars. Like, you can’t see your eyes… the bars are hiding them. Anyway, a great addition to the game. I like the bars and the bricks. Oh, and then nasty coin trollers are finally gone, a fix has been made! No more frustrating moments with a guest trying to hide the coin, this was quite a problem before! Great update.
**Windows, blocks out of beta** : Windows? Cool. I would of thought it’d be a background, but it’s actually a decoration, and you can appear in different colours too! If you combine these with specific backgrounds, it can look like they’re different colour! Epic! Wait… those windows look familiar… MINECRAFT GLASS?! Seriously, MrShoe? You just… stole the texture from Minecraft?! Silly boy. Not too much of an issue, but I really wish they had actually made their own window texture. Oh well, I guess I shouldn’t blame them. After all, they’ve stole numerous blocks from mario. Now, blocks out of beta. Music blocks, drum package, mineral blocks! Epic! So expensive, dem music ones… On the other hand, mineral blocks are so cheap! Ad they shine really well on the minimap. Man, I remember the days when mineral blocks were the best. Nowadays, they’re not even considered special. I like this update. It’s added some cool new blocks (music, mineral, windows), hehe.
**Pirate Package, Vikings Package** : Arr, me hearties! We have the pirate package! It includes wood blocks and backgrounds, a treasure chest, cannons, and much more? Who doesn’t like this. And about the Vikings package… smiley looks cool, but the blocks, they’re so… plain. They don’t look Viking to me. However, I do like the shields and axe. We now have teams! (kinda) Majority of EE still like MrShoe, however, some are getting a little on the hating side of MrShoe now. What for? Making updates too fast, and not good enough quality! Okay, updating too fast is just silly. We can never have too many updates. But then the quality updates. They don’t look bad quality to me, seems standard. I mean, have a look at Chris’ updates. Slow and alright quality. I personally would prefer Shoe.
**Ninja Package** : A ninja themed package! Ooh, and our first ladders! These ladders are like dots but are slower. Now if I am in god mode and I went through one of these, I get slowed down. I know it’s a glitch, but it was kinda useful. Anyway, this includes some platforms and decorations. Platforms are just platforms, meh. Decorations are okay, but now we have a full white background! Yay, not really. Nothing negative to whine about in this update. It’s okay, nothing too special about it, though he did add ladders, which was a little interesting.
**Win Bricks** : What’s this? A win brick? Interesting. It allows you to win the level… I like it. Along with some new tutorials rather than that old one, and a new login screen, pretty cool! I like these changes.
**Cowboy Package** : Cowboys. Towns. Not too much to talk about. It introduced the Cowboy smiley, and some blocks and backgrounds and decorations. I like the white and wooden sticks, they are useful for making signs and such. Other than that, this update isn’t really that special to me. Just your average, slightly boring MrShoe update. Come on, we want more blocks that actually do something!
**Water Package** : It’s summer, and time to start off with a summer update! Let’s see what ths update has to offer. Hmm… water?! Interesting physics. With some water backgrounds. We’ve been waiting for water for such a long time! This allows for some interesting minigames and levels… cool update. Get the pun? Eh? No? Oh well.
**Sand Package** : Second summer update out of four, and this one adds sand. Now we already have sand, but this one adds more colours, and we can make beaches! Well, we could before.. I guess. It also includes some backgrounds, same colour as the sand. Average update. Wait, the game can now be played on Armor Games! Not that it is that popular on AG anyway…
**Cloud Package** : And we have now… Clouds! Just clouds, nothing else. But I have recently discovered something, using this cloud pack, we can make a really good hiding place with the decorations! Anyway, this has our first ever fully white block (maybe, forgot) and some cool decorations. I like how the decorations together with the blocks make a shape that looks pretty much… like a cloud!
**Medieval Package** : This update has some rooves, and adds some walls. We can make proper houses, now! I don’t really think much of this update, there’s not much content, and includes nothing that special. This also fixes a bug involving timed doors. This was really annoying, I’m glad it’s fixed.
**Castle Pack, 3$ chat, new shop, All Shop** : This update has a lot of content. First it has the castle pack, which is alright, just a normal package. Then it includes 3$ chat, which is quite annoying, I guess, when you just want chat but not Gems. But I guess they made up for it for it actually being "cheap". By that I mean it’s actually a discount, since it gives 50 Gems which cost 5$ usually. I know their reason for changing this (fish problems :D) and I don’t blame them. Next we have a new shop, it looks much better than the old shop. It took some time getting used to, but I like the new shop better! Along with this, they added All Shop, a level with the graphics for all the items in the new shop. It’s pretty cool, you get to see everything in the shop in the level.
**Blacksmith** : This includes a blacksmith, some barrels and some other stuff. I personally like the barrels, you can HIDE in them! The blacksmith smiley isn’t that good. But they did add some more changes, like now there’s a minishop in the bottom right.

Well I don’t think there’s any reason to hate Shoe. But please, if you do, state some reasons, hating MrShoe for no reason would be invalid. :)
Adding more reviews, you can ask me to do a specific update if you want.

He did start off pretty good, things got a little downhill when he added BC, woots etc.
Well hey.. If you think about it the Class update is a useful way to get energy that CAN’T be abused. Besides, there would BE no way to get energy if it wasn’t for the Class Update.

I personally think BC, woots and all those other updates that people think are bad aren’t that bad for several reasons.

Truthfully, I like most of Mr. Shoe’s updates.. There’s only 2 I don’t like.
1. “Class-Smiley Update” I can’t stand these comments in the chatroom like “y is there class reqs for smileys?”
2. “Respawn Potion” This one’s just bad, altogether. Really bad.
@Meow
1.As I said,in the comments.GETTING TO CLASS 6 IS NOT VERY HARD!!!!!!!
2.25 energy x 10 =250 energy.That means you can get 8 Respawn potion with just 200 energy.
And lets look at betas and BC
Betas:Allows you to premium blocks,smileys and some new world and new feature.Lifetime membership
BC:Access to _ **ALMOST** _ all blocks in EE,including new ones.Varies from 3 months,6 months and 1 year.
Basically,BC is like an ‘upgrade’ to Betas,just doesn’t last forever._ **You don’t need to get BC for maximum awesomeness.No one is pointing gun at you.** _Still,you can buy packs with energy.Not really bad actually.
**Zombies**
More like annoy world.Just avoid the world/zombie.Easy right?
Let me help you a bit.
**Plastic**
Just another one of those silly blocks.But they’re good for arts!
**Plate Iron**
Nothing special.Really.Good for mech world though.
**Signs**
Now this is good!
**Industrial**
I thought the Conveyor would actually move,but no.
**Timber**
Same as cowboy.Town thing
**Castle + New shop + 3 Dollar Chat**
Now that’s what we need,castle!But whats this?A new shop?Which is more awesome than before?GASP!And chat cost 3 dollar.Many people say “Ah?Chat cost 3 dollar?Damn you Shoe!”I ask you.Do you pay 1 cent for a thing?Pretty odd,really.Buy this,you get free 50 gems!
**Medieval**
Ah,another copy of Viking Pack.Just more irony.
**Pipes**
For 125 Energy.Its cool actually.
**Rocket**
We’re venture into deep space!
**Mars**
Aliens,and mars.And deep blue space block?Could be awesome for constellation
**Low gravity world**
Finally,we get ourselves into a new world!
**Monster + Potion**
Great for scaring.Potions is very cool TBH that finally we get a way to color our GM!

Fixed c:
You’re far too optimistic and joyful to be a critic. Critics are supposed to be as cynical as me. I actually make crews better; you encourage the nubs.

These are my actual opinions. If I come across an update I find a problem with, or that I don’t like, I’ll explain why I don’t like it. All of these updates so far that I’ve reviewed I don’t hate and I actually like them.

Um, good for you? You just proved my point; you’re a terrible critic. Reviews are supposed to make people improve. Now, it’s not like Shoeface is actually going to read any of this, but I don’t really see any reason for having this thread, so let’s pretend he does! How are the updates that everybody’s been bitching about going to improve if you just constantly say that they’re great and awesome? You have to say what’s wrong with them, Dumbdonkey.

Next time, think before you say.

Yes, the update was a long time ago. When friends were first added, they were beta only.
