April Fools Thread

DoctorFinger · 03-31-2011, 08:09 AM

So the worst day of the year, if you spend any amount of time on the internet, is coming tomorrow. I Hate, hAte, haTe, hatE April Fools Day. For every well done, funny joke there are a thousand poorly thought out pranks and hoaxes.

This is both a warning to be very skeptical of anything you read on the net tomorrow, and a place where you can post the best and worst of the efforts out there.

if you had been thinking ahead you could have given CoG a red/black makeover

yeah, I don't read gaming news on april fool's day.

Ink Asylum · 03-31-2011, 08:20 AM

Looking forward to what Blizzard and ThinkGeek cook up. Not so much most other sites.

Shrinn · 03-31-2011, 08:26 AM

These are the kinda pranks I like. This is legit from LoL developers.

Narradisall · 03-31-2011, 08:37 AM

As long as you don't take anything seriously tomorrow I don't see the harm (unless pol cause physical harm).

Masses of stupid people believing stupid things tomorrow deserve fooling.

I look forward to blizzards usual jokes and the occasional well done joke and ignore the rest.

I love April Fools day you sour pusses.

Hawkzombie · 03-31-2011, 12:19 PM

I think the best joke was the Molten Core for the Atari from Blizzard, and the Deckard Cain Rap

To quote myself:

Only 1 [day] until "Hackneyed Badly-Executed Internet Hoax That Isn't Nearly As Clever Or Funny As It's Creators Think It Is" Day. Woo.

Google, Blizzard, ThinkGeek, and maybe xkcd are the ones off the top of my head that can be entertaining.

I read the Youtube title as "Deckard Cain Rape" and was afraid to click.

I really enjoyed the IGN 2008 April Fool for Zelda.
It looked badass and could've been legitly good.

I took leave...

3 day weekend baby.

I think I want some beer...

Wolvie · 03-31-2011, 04:58 PM

Fuck the internet tomorrow. I am doing my yearly tradition of staying off the internet for the day. See you Saturday folks!

Narradisall · 03-31-2011, 05:04 PM

God, I did not realise there were such a bunch of kill-joys here. It's not like anyone with sense takes it seriously. Sure there's tons of un-funny stuff, but there are always a good few amusing things.

KamaItachi · 03-31-2011, 05:05 PM

I forgot today was Worst Internet day. I'm just going to sit on the couch and play games. I'll check in on news after 24 hours

Squidbot · 03-31-2011, 05:11 PM

The 1957 April Fool on the BBC was bloody awesome, and fooled loads of people.

Many people apparently called the BBC to find out where they could buy a spaghetti tree.

jpublic · 03-31-2011, 05:50 PM

Cripes, people, lighten up.

Wolvie · 03-31-2011, 05:53 PM

Yes, it will all be funny. Exactly ONE day after it happens, when I know whats real, and whats a joke. Tomorrow I take my leave of the internet and will get my LULZ on Saturday. Don't like like it? Too damn bad.
