Yeah, I was just messing around with the 8 big google map. Pretty cool actually. Wish the 'demo' version actually had that menu interface and the music.

At least there's a schoolgirl-Dobkeratops in there.

I'd at least would have expected some kind of "OMFG, CAVE's releasing it's complete shmup-library on steam!!!!"-Prank.

Toonami was on Adult Swim's anime block last night. Sadly, that is probably the joke. I don't expect it to come back for real. :(

I have a new avatar now. Thank you, Ghegs. Thank you so very, very much.
Why is it called the Vic Viper/Warp Rattler? Because the Options trail behind it in a serpent-like fashion, and the iconic front fins are designed to invoke the image of a snake's fangs.

Rock of Ages is now Block of Ages.

It also comes with a new achievement for winning with the block. Can't seem to get it even though I've won a few times. Not sure if it's broken on purpose.

The sad thing: The REAL expansion pack for WoW, "Mists of Pandaria" aka Pandas in WoW, used to be an April Fool's joke.

Amazon don't seem like the type. When have Amazon (JP or US, whichever) ever done april fool's pranks before? And if they did, it would be something far more recognizable.

I'm not getting my hopes up though.

Finding a preannouncement for Gradius on PS3 on April Fool's sounded too good to be true, so I figured it was.
