Wow, today was amazing


Two amazing things happened today. Well actually a lot more then just two things happened, but today just rocked. With all the awesome April Fools jokes out there, and the amazing presentation i saw today from Paul Barnett (the Creative Director of Warhammer Online), I can just say today was pure awesomeness.

Here is a photo from blizzards best april fools joke ever, Role Playing the forums. GG blizzard. That was a good one.  BTW, the inside joke is (if ou can read the text on the photo) that Paladins suck in WoW (they don't really anymore, but people still QQ about it). Well the opening line with the RP'ed paladin forums welcoming thread is "A single tear rolled down Eyonix's face as he mournfully intoned, “Welcome to the World of Warcraft discussion forums!" Oh yes, the joke is on them now. It went on to end like this "And so Eyonix continued on his fateful journey, sliding perilously down the dripping, gaping maw of fate as if it were a waterslide". Again, that can be interpreted as an inside joke since a couple years ago Eyonix refused to play a Pally and tried to tell everyone that they were crazy and that Pally's were fine (they were terrible back then).

And in case you missed Battlefields awesome April Fools joke written by me, you can find it here! It was the headlines for www.n4g.com which was amazing since my April Fools joke spread from mere word-of-mouth alone, and within the first 12 hours of joke going live, it had over 1 thousand views. 

Word of mouth people, on the forums. Not even the main webpage for battlefield. I dont even think the mainpage gets that many views in 12 hours.
