I like wow in general. I played the damn thing for 2500+ hours, but while they have had many silly elements mixed in with their more "high fantasy", this puts the silly front and center.

I think this is way sillier than anything they've done before, partly because it's so "centered" in view. Have small references and general sillyness in the outskirts of the game is just fine, but dammit, wow was a perfectly good game, but now it's gone silly!

You people are all nuts. Maybe it's my general interest in Asian culture speaking, but this looks pretty awesome to me. I honestly do not get why everyone is reacting like this is the worst thing since Jar Jar Binks. Someone seriously needs to explain that to me. What looks so bad about this?

Since you asked...
Since launch, WoW has been a remarkably shallow game. It's success is attributable to oooh, shiny!, furry culture and, most importantly, people's tendencies to gambling addiction. The WoW team is kinda infamous for not coming up with any new or interesting ideas.
So when they suddenly whip out a new expansion that's based on an April fools prank by one of their artists from 6 or so years ago, yeah, it seems especially cheap. No matter... the furries will gobble this up and the money will continue to roll in.


Well sure, I mean, I can understand why some people dislike WoW in general. And of course those people aren't going to like this, because ultimately it's more of the same.

What I'm asking is why people who are actually fans of WoW are reacting so vehemently to this.

They must really be out of ideas if they're implementing old April fools jokes as new features.

Am I the only one here that thinks this video plays like a bad April Fools joke?

"... I was with friends having the best time ever and at 12:30 I just started punching out the windows of the rental van and ripping out the speakers and I don't even know why. I wasn't mad at anything or anybody and if it's 12:30 there that means that it was exactly when he crashed..."

Please.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a dupe: http://videosift.com/video/News-anchor-Licks-iPAD-on-Live-TV

And I thought this was just a ThinkGeek April Fools Day joke...

Now that I've watched it again I'm thinking this is an April Fool's Day stunt by WBEZ. I checked the posting date on Vimeo and it is April 1st. She says so many priceless lines, and she doesn't know who the players on the wall are, which would be pretty lame for a diehard Cubs fan.
Still, it's funnier than hell. Hey, public radio needs money. If they can generate publicity like this then more people might be willing to open their wallets for them. NPR forever! >> ^Matthu:
shenanigans... i hope



LOL I really hope so LOL

Everything concerning this upcoming C64 has about as much authenticity to it as an Aprils fools day joke.
