[Vkmies]

This doesn't exist yet, but I kinda want to see Valve releasing or at least announcing Half Life 3. Or hell, cancelling it! That would be hilaaaarious

Google Maps for the NES [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rznYifPHxDg]

Looks like Square-Enix is in on this joke...and you'll see why. You can even go to Google Maps and choose "Quest" to see the map you're on get DQ-ized.

Reddits Timeline is pretty awesome.

Need to round up those Avalveists if you ask me.

Oh my god, there is an awesome xkcd special today [http://www.xkcd.com/] (link will be valid until tomorrow). And the thing that blew my mind - you can't link to the picture. So I said "Oh, whatever, I'll just grab the link from the source code" but when I used Firebug to view the HTML code, the picture shrunk into nothing spectacular. When I closed the Firebug panel, it was awesome again. I laughed hard. I decided to leave that to Mr. Munroe - he's willing to provide me with entertainment to stop me from reposting it, so I'll oblige.

The alt text says your experience in life can change based on your web browser... and the comic actually changes based on your browser, hee hee. (Probably not a coincidence that IE is just a hole haha)

See above. It changes with a lot more than browser. So far people have found different comics based on geographical location(people have mentioned getting unique ones at .mil locations, Smith University, Canada, the UK, Oregon, and Israel), browser, OS, time of access, and the site you accessed the site from(clicking on links from Wikipedia, Reddit and the like). Also, The link you get for clicking on this [http://xkcd.com/1031/] comic has been altered.

IGN put up an 80's style rock and roll cartoon for Mass Effect.


All i can say, i i would watch every single episode of it if it were ever made.

There is some pretty amusing products on TFAW.com today. They're cycling through in the feature box.

Wow, this is amazing. XKCD is definitely my favourite, and how can google have time to make all of those? I don't have anything original to add, but I'll edit if I find something.

It also changes depending on Browser window size! Shrink and expand your window and the comic changes

Yesterday, I would have said that there is no way anything will beat the 8 bit google maps...

But then CN aired toonami instead of Adult swim, which makes anything anybody else could POSSIBLY do inferior.

I'm not watching it long enough to find out if it's a april fools joke or really part of the ARG.

MM is creepy enough on it's own.

I have to admit, I didn't see it until I remembered what day it was.

 

[Will Shelor]

Of course XKCD would come up with something awesome. The only one I found (besides Google) was that Droid Idol (an android app review site) gave a perfect review score and its weekly winner to CarrierIQ.

Just watch it for 2 minutes, I promise it's worth it.
