Here's a thread to post all the interesting April Fools stuff you've come across, first and foremost (because I saw this very first thing this morning and almost fell for it for half a second before remembering what day it was):

This one's good too:

Haha that's fantastic! The first paragraph seems perfectly reasonable actually, it's after that where things get a little crazy.
Yeah, the trailer's pretty funny, too.
Also, go to Wikipedia and check the In the News section. ;)

Heh. Youtube has a pretty sweet 1911 button on its videos.
I want The Aurors to be real!!
Aaaaand this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNm8ZCJ7Fx8).

You know, it actually sounds like it might not be such a bad idea. It would probably get horribly destroyed, though, if it were actually made.

I do too - that's actually a really good idea for a tv series even if it is a joke.
Today the informative message that pops up right above my Gmail inbox, alerting you of new features and such, reads: Coming soon: Better ads in Gmail. It also links you to this page (http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=1217362). I'm.....not sure if this is a joke or not. :P

Oh, and IA finally spoke out (http://www.infamous-adventures.com/home/) as to why it's taking so long for the SQII remake to be released.
IGN's April Fool's jokes are always good. Professional, and get your hopes up sometimes. Like the Legend of Zelda movie trailer and The Aurors. Speaking of which, I want the Aurors too.

It really is. And a goldmine in the making, dude.
Or I want it to be an RPG a friend of mine decides to run, so I can play it :)

Hm?
Haha! Go to youtube and on the bar where play and the video timer bar are, etc, at the end hit the button that says "1911", Cez. Fun!

Somebody must be double playing me on this April Fool's gag, cause I don't see anything!
On the other hand, has anyone checked people you may know in linkedin? Hillarious.
lol, I just sent the HP video to my cousin (who's the biggest fan in the world) and he started jumping up and down all excited.
He's not talking to me now.
lol
Cez--here, this one has the option for it.

Yeah, not working. But I googled it and saw it.
Must be because I'm in Canadia.
For all of the Apple fans out there:

I just joined LinkedIn and I don't know my way around...where can I go to find this?
At least for me, I clicked Home, and the People You May Know was on the top right.
Hah, that's awesome. Maybe I don't have it because I'm using the free version.
So am I. ???
I saw the think geek one. One website flipped all their posts upside down. Deviantart had a troll, but I didn't see it. My radio station did a great prank where they were going to tattoo 'Chris Brown' on an 8 year old kid's arm. One guy threatened to sue them. It was all a prank of course XD
Quote from: snabbott on April 01, 2011, 05:56:27 PMSo am I. ???
Hmm. You said it was at the top...maybe because I still have the "search your contacts" box up there and it won't go away. I already invited everyone I wanted to, but it's still there.
I approve of the Playmobil apple store. If only that were real. 'cuz I would totally buy that. No joke.
Not sure if this is an April Fool joke, but it's so crazy it might just work:

Wow, lol.
I surprised a whole slew of my friends yesterday by changing my Facebook relationship status to "in a relationship" (this surprised them because I've been single my whole life). They asked for a picture of me and my girl, and I promised I'd put one up today. So I did.

The caption reads: Sorry guys! Happy April Fool's Day! Props to those who called me on it (you know who you are)! ;)[/spoiler]
This from Bioware, but it doesn't beat Blizzard's kinect:

Hey you hooked up with Kaname! Cool!
Heh heh, yeah. I was actually pretty lucky to find a picture of her with a transparent background. Made the doctoring a lot easier, lol.

That's awesome. Nice shop.
Thanks! :)
Oh, that's a good one, Enchantermon! :D
Thanks! :)

Heh. Telltale put something up too, though I didn't find out about it until today.

I saw it. XD I was very shocked, then convinced I'd imagined it because I couldn't reproduce it. :P

Not sure if this is a late gag, but if it is...

I didn't know that Trilobyte had resurrected itself.

That's legitimate, actually. Trilobyte is back. Griffin McElroy, an editor at Joystiq, is giddy with excitement, to say the least.
EDIT: A wikipedia search (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_7th_Guest:_Infection) reveals that the trailer you linked refers to the microscope puzzle from The 7th Guest. Apparently, it's getting it's own spinoff game on the iPad.

Divide and conquer... Now all I have to wait for is more naked chicks with dogs in leash (a reference to "Haunted Glory")
