Re: April Fools Round-up

Atlus got me good with their claim that an indie developer was claiming they ripped them off with their Rock of Ages game, but the game they were claiming was being copied was actually just a Rock of Ages 2D demo. {{{:3c

YouTube is doing some "1911" thing where you can watch any video like a film from 1911. Also, this:

Gamefaqs Poll of the Day
Horadric Cube App from Blizzard (allows you to transmute apps together)
VGCats was transformed into 3DCats (eye bleeding)

The best I saw was the news post of the website for Star Wars: The Old Republic that said the game would be translated in Shyriiwook (The language of the Wookies). They even had videos.

Steam: The Potato Pack

Apparently a lot of these games got "updated" today and now contain potatoes.
Also, there is a Portal 2 achievement related to potatoes, so possibly this is a reference
to Portal 2 that no one will get until it comes out.







Super weird.

Re: April Fools Round-up

What did Google do? I missed it.

And Woot's thing was amusingly annoying. They were selling their ever-popular (and rather hard to get) Bag o' Crap, which I assume is just random leftovers from other Woot sales sold at a very reduced price or something. But there was a major catch: to get one, you had to play a Flash game with a bag-shooting snail. Whatever level the Bag sale was on was how far you had to go in the game in order to buy it. If you died, you started over. Oh, and sometimes skill didn't matter; if you were unlucky the game would put you in a no-win situation and you'd just die.

Needless to say, I didn't get one. Tried for a bit, but realized it was way more trouble than it was worth.

The Commando class was introduced for Guild Wars 2, A Super Mario Brothers movie reboot is in the works, the Minecraft store opened, and CD Projekt announced The Bard: Savior of Queens (Some swearing and adult themes, so I'm not linking to it).
