Really, no April Fools thread yet?  Google as usual has some good stuff up, introducing a smell search engine: http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/nose/Also, google maps has a treasure mode now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_qFFHC0eIUcThough I think my favorite so far has been George Takai posting on his facebook page that he's just been cast as a Jedi in the upcoming Starwars film.  Friends, I am thrilled to announce that I'll be starring in the Star Wars reboot directed by JJ Abrams. I'll be playing Master Ceti Maru, a member of the Jedi High Council. The new film, entitled "Star Wars: Galactic Empire," is greenlit and will begin filming sometime early next year. It is truly a moment for The Star Alliance. Thanks to all my fans for their decades of support. |

There didn't seem to be much April fool's activity this year. One of the first things I usually do is see what Blizzard did but they didn't do anything this year aside from reuse crabby.

Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

You forgot to mention that if you go to Google Maps, there actually is a treasure mode right now.  |
Over and out.

Oh, I was hoping Bliz was just pushing April Fool's up a week like it was Black Friday, and that Hearthstone was their joke :(

GW2 has implemented a pretty in-depth 8-bit platformer minigame as an April 1st joke: Super Adventure Box -- promo video here. Not sure if it 100% counts, though, since they're keeping it going until the end of April. It's equal parts ,  , and  . |

Ahaha. I wish they'd make this. It would be better-suited than the real thing for a lot of the clients I run support for. |

Blilzzard's AF jokes have sucked for more than a decade. I think they jumped the shark with this one http://classic.battle.net/war3/pandaren/ I mean, what the fuck? A totally reasonable fantasy race that nobody could ever think is stupid? How is that supposed to be funny? |
This post makes me want to squeeze into my badass red jeans.

Not gaming related but funny for camera nerds. Canonrumors announced Canon was working on had a left-handed "Canon 7D L" camera. Tricked me good. I even said "wtf" aloud.

I don't get what would make you go "wtf" about that.
But I know precisely fuckall about the manual dexterity and reasons behind the shape of cameras. Most of them are painfully ugly, I don't care what hand one favors in its usage.

NPR did this story as an April Fool's yesterday. They had me going because they said it was being done as a result of the government's budget issues and the sequester. I fell for it hard until they reveled it at the end. Critical thinking fail on my ride home. |

We have sunk so low that we are using NPR for comedy.

I fell for it hard until they reveled it at the end. Critical thinking fail on my ride home. They had me until the line about matching corporations to parks. So "Band-Aid presents Wounded Knee" and "The Statue of Liberty-Mutual" immediately set-off the bullshit-o-meter. Scary that we've come to a place that I believed it to that point, though. One too many "local government sells-off x-asset" stories for me lately. |

Like I said camera nerd humor. The 7d is going to be refreshed this year so why release it on old specs and canon uses the L designation on its high end lenses. |

They don't date it when airing on the radio, though.  |
