April Fools 2012 Collection

[The Funslinger]

Wait a minute...

Xenoblade Chronicles is released today. My Gamestop pre-order.

Why...? Why have I been so blind? They're not going to release Xenoblade Chronicles today, after all!

If Xenoblade Chronicles is an April fools joke. You are going to see me in the news.

As part of an article that concludes: "with $450,000 in public damages, there were no survivors."

Also, on Bulbapedia they are claiming that GameFreak is working on a "demake" of Pokémon Black and White to be released for the original Game Boy system.

There is Notch's New Game: Mars Effect

Loving that one. Especially some of the features:

- A game ending that makes sense.
- Waist high walls.

Haha, that Assassins Creed one was hilarious.

I loved the Wii hidden blades.

I literally howled with laughter at those hidden blades! I was actually thinking this would be a really cool control scheme until I saw how you would need to dive from viewpoints! The faces on the people behind him are priceless.

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.

Blizzard announced the new authentication module called the Zergotchi [http://eu.blizzard.com/en-gb/games/zergotchi/]. It also acts as your virtual pet.

Also, Blizzard are turning to some educational games with Blizzard Kids [http://eu.blizzard.com/en-gb/games/blizzkidzz/]. There is a demo of the Flash game "Zergling teaches typing" on that page.

And Supply Depot [http://eu.blizzard.com/en-gb/games/supplydepot/] which SirBryghtside mentioned.

The shots at TF2 and ME3 in Supply Depot were awesome.

As usual from Guild Wars they made some changes to the skills

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedback:Game_updates/20120401

My favourite from the skills changes are-

Thunderclap: changed skill type to shout. Renamed to "Thunder, Thunder, Thunderclap! HOOOOOOOO!"

Elementist: All magic damage is now based on rank in the Friendship attribute.

Warrior: Added new shouts: "Objection!" "Take that!" and "Hold it!"

Shadow Form: added the following functionality: "Deletes all characters on your account when Shadow Form ends."

Changed the name of White Crabs in the Tarnished Coast and the Depths of Tyria to "Some Kind of Cave Demon."

Tee hee. Guild Wars always does some pretty good April Fools stuff. Good to see Corporal Banes back.

Totally want the the Ackbar bass and Technomancer Digital Wizard Hoodie. Even the Game of thrones perfume is epic.

The really amusing thing about this one? It displays a different comic in different web browsers.

Riot games announced League of legends in 3D! Sounds pretty legit if you ask me.

What's more, it's also sensitive to both location and time. Check out the XKCD forum [http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=82442] for details and screenshots.

Spoiler: Jagex introduces JagMotion!

and

Spoiler: Assassin's Creed for Kinect (which I would probably play if it were real XD

It's always interesting to see what companies come up with on April Fools.

Haha, that Assassins Creed one was hilarious.

I loved the Wii hidden blades.

The look on that little girl's face with the Wiiblades just killed me. That and the Google Tap are the best one's I've seen today.
