Ninja Dodo · 04-03-2004, 04:52 AM

I'm not one for massively multiplayer games, but I found this quite funny:

Best April 1 joke of the year.

D.C. · 04-03-2004, 05:08 AM

I read about this at GameSpot in their April Fools wrap-up post.

It's pretty damn funny.

You know, it actually sounds like fun.

Kingzjester · 04-03-2004, 01:58 PM

Too bad I am not interested in mmogs

Ninja Dodo · 04-03-2004, 02:09 PM

I was thinking the same thing. I actually thought it was serious too.

I mean, the making up your minds which direction to go in sounds troublesome but the rest could be quite a lot of fun!

Oh? Am I just not geeky enough to truly appreciate it then?

Moron Lite · 04-04-2004, 09:05 PM

I liked this one better, and it's even more geeky:

That would've been way cool apart from one thing: they said that it was a random matchup, when it would've been better if you and a buddie could agree to do it together.

***Marek*** · 04-05-2004, 03:16 AM

Moron Lite, I totally missed your joke at Ludonauts. It's a bit of an insiders joke, but it's hilarious! Well done

"It never happened. It never happened."

Gonzalo wrote a good one, too. That picture of Will Wright is priceless!

Moron Lite · 04-05-2004, 04:15 AM

Haha, thanks.

And yeah, that Will Wright picture is just too awesome.

(Incidentally, that whole "political games guy" thing is another inside joke, as Gonzalo explicitly said that he did not want to become known as "the political games guy".

And the Gloomy stuff is actually not that far off....)
