New Starcraft 2 unit. The Omega Supreme Defense unit or better known as the Terra-tron!

Actually for once a unit could really say, "All your base are belong to us" and.. well be true to it

Red Faction devs created a very special Dev Diary in response to a certain thread at NeoGAF

If I didn't want to try Red Faction Guerrilla before, I certainly do now.

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/01/april-fools-jack-thompson-wants-government-to-legalize-gamer-mu/

In light of the slaying of a woman by her husband after her compulsive playing of GTA 4 led him to insanity, JT calls for the full pardon and the added bonus of a 5000$ income tax credit for reducing pollution, for anyone convicted of murdering a player of GTA.

That's a little sick, if you ask me.

Blizzard always has the best April Fools Day jokes :lol:

Although I was actually a little disappointed, not for the human race, but for my own amusement, that I couldn't find anybody on their forums who've actually fallen for them. Where are the "OMFG WISPS?!!!" this year?

Cade Antilles · Postby **Cade Antilles** » 01 Apr 2009, 11:42

The Escapist seems to be sponsored by "Pony Jam 2009 World Tour" today. With the tag-line "Clip. Clop. Crunch." and appearing April 1st at the "Leeroy Jenkins Memorial Coliseum" I can only assume it's a joke.

I snickered, at least.
