April Fools '09

Google created a real doozie this year...

Meet CADIE: Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed Intelligence Entity. She's become self-aware online and has taken control of Google. Also, she's a panda.




Her blog.

So far, this is all I've seen. What am I missing?

Also, I hear adult swim's been playing nothing but The Room all night.

I DID NAHHHHT

4/1 is the stupidest day out of the year.

This one's my favorite, the whole announcement is golden.
CDProjekt RED announces The Witcher: Mysterious Secrets for handhelds

Kind of a retread of Accordion Hero, but the video is amusing:
MS announces Alpine Legends

I actually wouldn't mind owning a Taun Taun sleeping bag

I've been nailing my students with fake announcements of pop quizzes and major research projects today. Needless to say, they are pissed, and I am happy!

I'm rarely up that late any more, but I so wanted to watch Robot Chicken last night. That really made me mad!

I always like when "games" are announced on this day.

I'd buy one for each member of my family. April Fools, nothing. Somebody has to tell Thinkgeek that this is a potential goldmine of a legitimate product. It would be a Crime Against Humanity™©® if such merchandising genius as this were relegated to April Fools Prototype status for all eternity.

They took down the story. Lame.

Also: the internet is useless today. Fuck all.

edit-
Found a repost: http://www.scoopthis.org/2009/03/pre...out-of-nascar/

They probably took it down because most of the comments thought it was a real story.

Bethesda is selling all their Oblivion DLC for half off today...except the horse armor, of which they doubled the price :lol:

Ready at Dawn is puzzled that no one has discovered this unlockable outfit in God of War: Chains of Olympus.

That was awesome, especially how that's exactly how they announced it. I got the Vile Lair one, which was the only one I was missing.
