I wanted it to be true. I wanted it so bad. DX11 and SLI support would make my day.

for about 10 seconds there, I believed, now I just want to believe... its not nearly the same thing, and is quite hurtful on the inside.

Here is a small article from USA Today. having to do with some April Fools jokes.



Starbucks, knowing no bounds, has introduced a new beverage size, the Plenta, which rivals a bucket of chicken and takes two hands to hold.


Conceding that it might be a huge headache for municipal dump sites, th eSeattle-based company suggests re-purposing as a rain hat, lampshade or yoga block.

Or, you can just try out their new tiny Micra -- also issued on April Fools' day -- that could serve afterwards as a soft boiled egg cup or paper clip holder.


If you buy that, you'll also probably believe that Google's announcement that it has changed its name to Topeka.

Or take a look of possibilities opened up by a new app for the Nokia N900 that allows ground-based cellphones users to control a helicopter. (Not recommended for use after downing a Plenta.)


The spoofs, however, pale beside offerings in Britain, where April Fools' Day is a cottage industry.

Google's British home page, for example, announces a new service, Google Animal Translate, promising to let you know exactly what your pet is thinking.

The British press, as usual, weighs in heavily:

The Sun reports it has developed the world's first flavored newspaper page and invited readers to lick a square of newsprint "to reveal a hidden taste." Just below the spot to be licked was the fine-print warning: "May contain nuts."

The Daily Telegraph says an Internet service provider plans to use tunneling ferrets to deliver broadband services to remote areas.

BBC radio's Today program ran an item claiming William Shakespeare's mother was French.

So far, none have reached the heights hit by the BBC news program Panorama in 1957 that aired a story on the unusually bountiful spaghetti harvest that year in southern Switzerland.

Straight-faced and convincing, the Associated Press (really!) calls it a classic April Fools hoax.

I like how April fool's day is in the image itself

PS3 version I would have fallen for... it's after all possible on SOME PS3 with PS2BC, SquareEnix has been re-releasing FF7&8 and a considerable amount of PS2 players (mostly JP) had to convert to a PC or 360 when their PS2 died...

A PS3 version might even been partially funded by Sony...

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.

Fool me not at all, and it's April Fools day.

What, no Hello Kitty Online this year?

Or unveiling the tier 5 VNM- Krabcake, a giant crab with a 3 layer cake on its back, or Queen Behemoth, with pink skin, a magenta mane, and lipstick on its snarling lips, or the Headless Hydra, a lol-hydra walking around with no heads.

Doesn't help the dead giveaway in the scan... For those too lazy to check just view the spoiler.

Really? Nintendo wii?... Stretched a little too far with this one guys.
