Video game April Fools

[dr_scitt]

Just curious what April Fools people have seen today from video game companies.
The two I've seen of note today are the "Pimp your mount" page on the WoW website and everyone changing into Gwen-chans in Guild Wars.
What other amusing jokes have people seen today?

Gamespot has a couple of interesting articles up this morning, such as the announcement of Bioshock Carnival games!

Plus, our very own Escapist looks to be planning Pony Jam 2009

What are you talking about April fools joke. Pony jam is obviously a totally awesome and totally real event. They have a website and everything. Just because ticket sales happen to start today doesn't mean anything.

Well its not really a video game, but Gmail has added "Gmail AutopilotTM by CADIE".

Some Youtube sites are rendered upside down; Other then that, a local hardware vendor is selling wlan cables and a it magazine suggests to use printer ink as a currency.

The pimp you're mount thing was a trick? COMMON! IT WAS A REALLY GOOD DAMN IDEA...

Some April's crap I've seen? Pony Jam, so awesome.

Oh also the Youtube upside down crap. It's just shitty to be honest. But it's 1st Aprils, this day will always be shitty.

So far I haven't seen stupid pranks in games yet.

But YouTube has this flip-up gimmick going on that rotates videos upside-down (until you erase the "&flip=1" in the URL.)

Not sure if this was for April Fools or just to mess with players heads but, on Urban Dead(urbanddead.com) i logged in and it replaced the zombies with tourists(?) I forgot it was April Fools got freaked logged out and back in and it is gone now(for me atleast)
