Title: Should We Be Worried?
Post by: Shorty McNostril on March 31, 2007, 10:20:49 AM
It is now April Fools day and as far as i know we haven't had anything come to light that causes the gaming world to throw itself into convulsions. Is that bad?

Actually I think he was playing an April fools joke by saying it is April Fools Day even if it isn't, because no one is expecting an April Fools joke on a day that is not April Fools.

It is in Australia. It only has 10mins left until midday. Maybe the usual foolers are giving us a break this year.

This is the first year there hasn't been a rash outburst the days before. I remember last year some site did a joke on like March 31st and was all like "Well if we did it tomorrow you'd have known!" Which was, perhaps, the stupidest thing ever.

Dont speak too soon, for all we know NIGHTS or the Mario&Sonic games could be the biggest April Fools Day joke ever!

If they are, then it is indeed the biggest April Fools prank ever since EVERY media has already reported on it.
Speaking of which, what would happen if one of the biggest news event in history turned out to be a prank? Like for example, you submit a MAJOR piece of news to any media outlet and EVERYONE talks about it, then you reveal that its a prank. Are there any charges for fooling the media, the nation and millions?

It can't be the Mario and Sonic announcement since the official press releases from Sega and Nintendo have been released.
Nights on the other hand hasn't been officially confirmed by Sega, and it appeared on an obscure Brazilian magazine. So the credibility of the Nighs announcement is 50/50.

Did someone honestly just defend Fox News by trying to place the BBC on the same pedestal?

I wonder if Gaming Sites and magazines realize how paranoid they have made us.
