Title: Liar's day, 2008 Post by: bhodi on March 31, 2008, 05:59:01 PM It's that time of year again. Post your internet findings here.
LOTR (http://www.lotro.com/amonhen) Youtube (http://uk.youtube.com/) (Click on any of the featured videos). This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KANI2dpXLw) is a related, impressive video. Title: Re: Liar's day, 2008 Post by: schild on March 31, 2008, 10:05:21 PM Woot.com is doing a wootoff with the same item over and over. People are going berzerk.
And either Pizzahut.com changed their menu or they really did decide to start delivering pasta on the worst day of the year. Title: Re: Liar's day, 2008 Post by: caladein on March 31, 2008, 10:13:23 PM And either Pizzahut.com changed their menu or they really did decide to start delivering pasta on the worst day of the year. No, they had that there at least since yesterday (Sunday) when I ordered a couple pizzas. I didn't actually get any pasta, but it was there. Title: Re: Liar's day, 2008 Post by: schild on March 31, 2008, 10:15:18 PM Ok. That's funny then.

Xfire (http://xfire.com/) main page all leet'ed up. Wowhead (http://wowhead.com/) goes for the Thottbot look. WoWInterface (http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15626) provides the obligatory "overpowered WoW addon" gag this time around. BattleClinic (http://www.battleclinic.com) is now... I don't even know... Diesel Sweeties (http://www.dieselsweeties.com/) is hand-drawn (and really cool looking to be honest). xkcd (http://xkcd.com/), Questionable Content (http://questionablecontent.net/), and Dionsaur Comics (http://www.qwantz.com/) all form some sort of April Fool's triangle. EDIT: Spelling and the WoWI link. Title: Re: Liar's day, 2008 Post by: Samwise on March 31, 2008, 11:20:14 PM GMail Custom Time (http://mail.google.com/mail/help/customtime/index.html)

Nice "concept art" though, I'd kill for a wallpaper version of: (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath/images/artwork/ss38.jpg) :drill: Title: Re: Liar's day, 2008 Post by: Llava on April 01, 2008, 12:48:29 AM Wrath of the Lich King introduces the Bard! (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath/features/bard/bardclass.xml) I would so go back to WoW for this class. Title: Re: Liar's day, 2008 Post by: schild on April 01, 2008, 12:48:56 AM Blizzard would never introduce something that fucking original and awesome.
Ever. They don't do that. There's a huge problem that's really, really obvious when your April Fool's Day Jokes are cooler than what you do every other day of the year. Title: Re: Liar's day, 2008 Post by: Trippy on April 01, 2008, 02:46:55 AM No! I want the Panderans!
Still funny, though. Title: Re: Liar's day, 2008 Post by: Merusk on April 01, 2008, 03:30:06 AM D&D's Main Page (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/welcome)

Don't forget last year's which turned out to be basically true (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/btattunement/).That zelda trailer had some SERIOUS production values.

Title: Re: Liar's day, 2008 Post by: schild on April 01, 2008, 07:15:51 AM I like the strapon Wii game. Pretty much what I think of the system.
The David Jaffe Interview and the Xbox Paperweight is pretty clever.

The original threads in there were hilarious, the newer ones created by the rest of the users, not so much. Title: Re: Liar's day, 2008 Post by: Signe on April 01, 2008, 07:47:14 AM http://press-nintendo.110mb.com/article-jsp-id-14788.htm

"Biff!" "Socko!" graphics. Title: Re: Liar's day, 2008 Post by: Signe on April 01, 2008, 09:25:53 AM I could only ever play EQ2 in /cutemode. I like modes. MORE MODES, PLZ!

The conversation went like this: Him: wtf this patching system sounds awful. sounds like payiing for an expansion that releases no new content and not balancing your damn game. Me: yeah ITS AMAZING Him: i might cancel my preorder Him: Oh wait.... Me: ahahahahahahaha Him: Fucking april fools.

Equips only in the appearance slot :awesome_for_real: There's also a quest for a tin metal helm house item that's sparkly when activated and some house item playing cards that launch LoN when clicked. Had a good laugh at the companion cube chests. |
