So yesterday was the day of jokes, gags, and overall tomfoolery, April Fools Day. I saw a lot of lame jokes, I got Rick Rolled a couple times, but I did see a few things that I thought were incredibly amusing (which, hopefully, are not taken down by now!)
First, a couple links from Blizzard, who puts WAY more effort and polish into their jokes than most. They have 2 games in the works, and a new unit for each was featured. For Starcraft 2, it was the Terra-Tron, a giant transformer robot built from ALL of the buildings in your base. For Diablo 3, it was the Archivist, complete with Lorenado and Shush spells. Watch the videos for these things, it’s quite amazing how far they’re willing to go for this!
The other one I wanted to mention was a “new product” from ThinkGeek, or rather a pair of products. They are a pair of shirts that parody the Portal Games, each with a built-in LCD screen and camera. Whatever is in front of one shirt, you can see through the “portal” in the other. It’s pretty neat… it just costs $99 a shirt, and looks like you have a giant box shape on your chest.
They had other things too, like Squeez Bacon from a tube, Unicorn Chaser, Pet Rock with USB, or (which I HOPE becomes real), a Tauntaun sleeping bag, among others.
Did you find any funny/amusing April Fools stuff?
