That Google Maps thing... I must've spent 30 minutes today trying to figure out what I was doing wrong before I finally noticed someone mentioning that it was for the mobile version.

Ok, the background music of a meowing version of the Game of Thrones theme got me.

The treasure goblin bio in the Blizzard Outcasts game is pretty funny.

Barring an eleventh-hour addition, I'd say World of Tanks won this year.

Minecraft changed all the avatars to villagers. I was like . :ye_gods:

Then I realized when somebody online pointed it out.

That one confused me as I had actually had an issue with an altered avatard the first time I tried out my resource pack, but it went away. Then I found out the pack changed all the villagers to jawa (which sounds awesome but I want to punch them in the ootini), so I was hoping it wasn't some related issue.

My kid was convinced I was pranking her.  Threw a minor tantrum because I wouldn't change it back, but also doesn't yet understand internet pranks.  Ah, youth.

I told my kid he's going back to live with his real parents in Mexico.  Packed his shit, put him on the bus.

Something very similar can happen (or used to happen?) if your connection to mojang was spotty, since that's where your custom avatar is stored. So that's what I assumed was up last night, instead of thinking about what day it was  :grin:

Neverwinter: http://community.arcgames.com/en/news/neverwinter/detail/3038973-new-playable-race_-respen___s-game-_-now-live_

Nothing for Valve that I've seen, surprisingly.

That wasn't particularly funny until they had the dragon riding the horse
