Move to SS

Just finished writing a 100% serious "I'm pregnant" letter of about 3 pages and currently sending it to many, many people.

Vatoreus · 04-01-2008, 01:13 AM

I think he's talking about what did the MMO companies do.

MMO-champion is reporting on a roll hack, Blizzard changed everyone's forum avatar to furbolgs and added "lol." to the end of every forum post.

Grooverider · 04-01-2008, 01:31 AM

WoW also announced some new 'console game' World of Warcraft: The Molten Core

Pretty funny etc. 'Molten Core'

Fadaar · 04-01-2008, 01:48 AM

And World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

Yutnopash · 04-01-2008, 01:54 AM

Hah..I got a kick out of sample item's flavor text.

dak · 04-01-2008, 01:57 AM

Heh, Punk Rock Talent Rock'n Roll Racing. One of Blizzards first games, back when the company was still called Silicon & Synapse.

Salshun · 04-01-2008, 01:59 AM

Jesus, I can't imagine the repercussions that would be felt if WoW got a Guitar Hero simulator in game. People would just stop eating, shit in their computer chairs, it'd be bad.

Grave · 04-01-2008, 02:02 AM

Rofl, Blizzard wins this one. Both Molten Core and Bard are hilarious. I think the Molten Core video is the best though.

Tyen · 04-01-2008, 02:04 AM

I agree. I think YTMND's april fools is epic fail

Kaosu · 04-01-2008, 02:09 AM

Virgle: The Adventure of Many Lifetimes

Edit:

A sample question from the questionnaire.

A multi-stage heavy lift rocket built using established solid and liquid propellant technology with solid boosters doubled for increased payload capability could start a burn for insertion into a lunar trajectory and then back toward Earth for final insertion into a modified Hohmann Transfer Orbit, increasing its final Earth-to-Mars transfer velocity through a periapsis delta-v burn performed at the closest lunar and subsequent Earth approach, with the additional delta v gained on account of the potential energy from the mass of expended propellant,

Actually, I would think fairly quickly and easily
Only with significant time and fuel expenditure
My SAT tutor said to always guess C if you aren't sure
goo goo ga ga hee hee ha ha

Goliath · 04-01-2008, 02:33 AM

Molten Core is absolutely hilarious and the Bard Hero class was funny as well but strangely disappointing in that it was a joke. This is definitely Blizzard's best April Fool's. I'm off to watch the Molten Core console video again.
