Already posted in the google thread, but reposting here.  Google releases google maps for the NES:

In case your to lazy too watch the whole video, you can also just go to google maps and hit the "quest" button in the top right corner to see the entire globe, down to god damn street view, in 8-bit.

I think Google gets a bit excessive here in that a whole bunch of different teams feel the need to do something.

My vote for best presentation goes to The Youtube Collection: http://www.youtube.com/TheYouTubeCollection

The pictures of Sergey (especially his footwear) are pretty hilarious: https://plus.google.com/photos/116899029375914044550/albums/5726274904660545569

I was also amused by this IKEA Product Recall: http://i.imgur.com/hbmED.jpg (via reddit)

Yet another from Google:

It's like the left hand (of Google) doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

Edit:
DAMN YOU QUINTON! (But I'll leave mine be to make my point.)

Reddit has a FB timeline up on their main page now.  You can now see posts from the past, present, and future  :drill: :why_so_serious:

Nice one  :awesome_for_real:

The Guardian had a piece saying that David Cameron had appointed Shaun Ryder to advise them on class (http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/apr/01/cameron-shaun-ryder-advise-tories). Probably only funny if you've been following UK politics this week though.

OUCH:

Heh.  I missed that.

This actually made me laugh.  Especially: http://www.reddit.com/t/2112/

It's a TRAP !!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUowrnlMSPc&feature=player_embedded) from ThinkGeek

Looks like Bioware isn't being left out.

I am embarressed to admit that I was over halfway through this article before I twigged it:

Agreed.

Hi-rez finally fixes the bug that causes "skiing" in Tribes:Ascend.

Saints Row the Third brings one I wish was real... (http://www.saintsrow.com/news/detail/article/257641/)

The real winnar is Cartoon Network having brought back Toonami all day today.  Fanboys everywhere went apeshit.

Explain surly, front pages to game websites aren't new.

Adwords has a teleportation one.

Few more that made me chuckle:

Spooning by Bitbucket (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dYBjVTMUQY0).

Assassin's Creed for Kinect (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7NufHsmITjM).  (Edit: already posted by tmp in the AC3 thread).

Really advanced Google search (http://www.google.com/js/reallyadvanced.html).

"Tea" inserted into the proper field does not yield the correct response.

The Assassins Creed for Kinect one is good...because it seems somewhat plausible until about half way through, where that guy does the ridiculous spinning leg triangle take-down.

I have no doubt that actually have shit like this planned (maybe not AC, but who knows), and also no doubt that it will end up as complete and utter shit.  So much potential here that will never be tapped.

Bleh, stupid age gate.

The joke for SR3 was a play on the matrix called "Enter the Dominatrix"

I want my Adblock cats back.

I got caught by an April Fool's joke on the radio.

They said it was going to be 91 today when I was driving home from the car wash yesterday. Since it was 86 like 10 days ago it did not sound far fetched. High today was 73...sigh.

People in my office saved up adding machine tape for a month, then hung it all over my office like streamers.

This passes for extremely funny amongst accountants.
