Any plan for the joke of April 1st this year?

I recalled spending hours trying to unlock Tate mode in PS2 Giga Wings Generation last yeat.

My jokes on April Fools Day are generally aimed at the fucking morons that think April Fools Day jokes are funny. I generally don't surf the net that day. Anticipated jokes are a waste of time.

BAH HUMBUG!!! Heh.

I always enjoy April Fools Day. I remember the year Wind Waker came out I posted on the IGN GC boards about how I fell off of a cliff and into the ocean and my map got washed out! So I started trying to rebuild it and then I got a message in a bottle saying "April Fools from Nintendo!" and my map was back.

There were 5 pages of responses... some guy spent the whole day jumping off of cliffs... hehehe.

I don't know if I'll do anything for April Fools this year. Its getting kinda predictable.

We should do a mock up review of 'SHIGERU MIYAMOTO TO DIRECT NEXT SONIC GAME, YUJI NAKA ON MARIO!!!!'

Irem's Exidna console launch with R-Type Final 2 was memorable...

I'm probably not going to do anything this year, but I managed to pull a pretty good one off on my parents last year. My car is, in short, a piece of junk, and my dad has been on my case for ages to replace it. What I did was to go park my car at one of the airport parking lots, rented a car, then drove it back and came back and told them I bought it used, and gave them a "bargain" price that was just a little bit less than it costs new (basically, make it look like a big-time rip off.) Man, I got 'em good with that one... If not for the improbabilty of being able to obtain vehicles for such purposes, I'd think of continuing it with increasingly costly vehicles until I pull into the driveway in a Porsche 911 or something...

I just don't like April fools.
I find it very silly.

Ah, good ol' April fools day. Who remembers last years "Mushihimesama PS2 port announced" thread?

You either get fooled or you don't... why avoid it, unless you think you're particularly foolable? :P

The mushi prank last year was hilarious, because I just read the whole thread and burst out with laughter all over again.

So well timed and the responses were so OTT.

I better not say anything because I think there's someone on here who's desperate to contradict me.

And the pic is still there!

April fools are diabolical. I wonder if some people are working on some videogame related ones right now.

But you know, I don't want an arguement about it.

Are you referring to me 99pence? I never argued with you - go read back through the thread. Every reply in it from me is said with exceptional civility. Aside from that you should let it go. It won't do yourself any good to stress over a chatboard argument.

Besides... Seth does that with everyone.

No way dude, I wasn't arguing with you.

I'm only messing about.

A mock annoucement on Thunderforce VI would make me angry.

You guys realize that by speaking about April first so early, you have just destroyed it's magic and any possibility of a good joke?

I was thinking of posting a goofy pic of myself, just to go around with the "fool" theme. Not playing a joke on anyone.

Sheesh. It's like when your parents told you that Snoopy didn't bring toys to good kids in easter.

There must be some people on here in need of some serious councelling.

Its not like a joke on here is going to make your sister sleep around, or make your mom jump off a bridge.

The internet is not a factual environment, never has been. Once you get used to this fact you can wither between the truths and the untruths, make your own mind up and get along with your life.

Meanwhile I will be here reading all these petty comments about April fools getting lots of amusement out of it.
