Title: April Fool's Day - Get Ye the Hell In Here
Post by: schild on March 30, 2010, 12:09:35 PM
1. Post anything from 4/1 in here.
2. Do not post any links anywhere else.
3. Do not link to Kotaku/Joystiq/Destructoid/etc - they're not funny.
4. Do not think that ANYTHING is news.
5. If you think anything is news, wait til 4/2.
6. Bans will be made.

No questions? Good.

Is /6 a point being made before 1/4 or not? :why_so_serious:

Time to get in line for a ban!  :awesome_for_real:

xkcd webcomic (http://www.xkcd.com) -- try standard unix commands, in-jokes from earlier comic strips, etc. If you want to be a killjoy, look at the source of the page and load up the referenced javascript source.

The youtube TEXTp is hit or miss. Some videos just don't allow it.

Yeah, little bit disappointing.

In other news, Wurm online changed all player models to different animals depending on kingdom.

I'm guessing most saw this somewhere else, but still good for a laugh at when April Fool's jokes go wrong. Way to go MSI! (http://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=204f5e3a5d967ce691ec8dde2294d23c&topic=136959.0).

Bioware released info on their new class for SWtOR, the  Sarlacc Enforcer (http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/classes/sarlacc-enforcer).

Also, I got an email about a BloodBowl Legendary edition with all the missing races.  Not sure if it's April Fools, or legit, though.

The videos on that site are pretty clever, especially the Sarlacc Death Star.

I hope the animations in the game look as good as that second video's.

Found this when I was wondering what upcoming changes or events were on the way to Guild Wars:

Guild Wars skill update (http://www.guildwars.com/support/gameupdates/default.php)

Most of it will probably only be amusing to its players, but there are a couple of good ones.
