So believe nothing you hear and even less of what you see!

But for the sake of giggles, go ahead and post the best April Fool's prank you've played, seen or been the victim of!

It's not the fools day of april for another hour and 27 minuts for me at time of posting.

I did once convince a friend he was abducted by aliens and experimented on with a really convoluted prank one april fools. He still refuses to talk to me on April first to this day for it.

There's a story behind this and I'm kind of curious how you convince someone they were abducted by aliens.

OT: I remember it was either last year, or year before last, the developers of War Thunder released an update talking about adding flying ponies to the game, obviously inspired by MLP. People laughed it off until they discovered the developer actually went to the effort to model and add multi-colored pegasi with giant miniguns strapped to them into the game for April Fool's day.

The ponies themselves were extremely powerful, having the specs and speed of a jet in a game that was largely prop engine plane combat, they were also fragile as hell, being able to shoot one down even just grazing it with a bullet. This being a progression based game, people bitched about the single day where they couldn't progress like normal, others bitched about balancing because trying to use any of the lower class planes in a match with someone using the ponies was basically a death wish, and you also got the usual crowd that loses their mind any time anything even vaguely MLP related is mentioned.

Reading the butthurt on the forums was almost as fun as playing in servers full of tiny minigun equipped pegasi blowing each other out of the sky in rainbow explosions.

I turned a bunch of things in my house upside-down. Should be amusing when other people wake up.

He took like one of the really high strength sleep aids, and we got him partly awake with the walls covered in aluminium foil with bright lights and stuff. We were dressed as aliens and had some fancy looking props about, including surgical stuff. Since we knew he'd pretty much fall back asleep quick until his sleep aid wore off no matter what happened. Once he fell back asleep we took all the stuff down. Then we let him think he'd been abducted for the rest of the day. When I finally told him I organized the prank and it was an April Fool's he got really really mad (big ufo buff he is), then a few minutes later we were laughing about it pretty good.

I wonder if Taco News will report actual news today.

That would be an appropriate April fools joke.
This would be wonderful. Then again, Taco may be too busy becoming familiar with an electrical outlet to do anything like that.

Thank you for the reminder, I'm doing the Calendar Man sidequest in Arkham City. Had completely forgotten about April 1.
Two more holidays to go!

My april fools prank is to act like someone who has played a prank on me has violated my trust and then act offended. It stops people from doing shit to you generally.

YouTube's got a button that adds a short snippet of music to videos now. It also brings up suggestions for said piece of music whenever you search for a video. Guess which music.

For April Fools Day, the Escapist went black. But will it ever go back? THAT is the question!

Who turned out the lights, goddamnit?

...I absolutely despise this holiday. I don't really like to get pranked or prank people. I guess I'm just a bit of a grouch about it all.

Edit: WHAT IS THE TRIGGER FOR THIS FRIGGING SORCERY? IS IT JUST RANDOM?

Why can't I find it? Been trying for some time.

Also, 67 notifications on the Escapist? Wow.

I'm trying to find places to hide every chair in the house.

I should have thought this one through a bit more.

EDIT: I changed it into an Agatha Christie murder mystery with chairs.

I should have thought this one through a bit less.

There's an 'add music' button on every video that plays very small snippets of Sandstorm as well. So now you can listen to parts of Sandstorm while listening to Sandstorm.

Well, I tried to come up with a list of non-porn movies that make me horny... So far, it hasn't been working out like I planned since it's hard to convince people that Shrek Forever After is a movie that would makes me horny...

Other than that, I suck at coming up with "April Fool's Day"-based humor... So, for the past several years, I would tell people real-life facts about myself during April Fool's Day that would make people think I'm just lying for April Fool's Day...
