Yeah I love it, theres also a Teemo mini game inside the Cho'gath game (maybe theres more haven't beaten it yet).

Have Blizzard even done any jokes today? They are usually quite good at doing them but their entire website is just normal.

So after considering every angle, here’s what’s changing:

The Warhound has been added for Terran because robots are cool and the art is amazing
The Warhound has been added for Zerg to remain competitive with Terran.
The Warhound has been added for Protoss to keep Protoss players from whining about them on the forums.

It was hilarious just watching them keep a straight face while delivering this, then the guy on the left starting cracking which made it even funnier, then the co-op throwing started and it was just over. Best April fools this year IMO!

Damn it. I actually thought this was going to be something serious, since they trademarked the name a few months back.

But according to their Facebook comment the trademark is not being used.

So yeah. I got totally played. I would still love to play an 8-bit version of Deus Ex

They do have a counter on their page though, that seems to be linked to the likes on Facebook page. I wonder what will happen when it reaches 250k. If it turns out to be an actual game, then I will be double played.

I played the dungeons last night it's very long only got about 3 out of the 5 areas played but was hella fun.

You can play all through the month of April.

Microsoft broke the news in a Press Release earlier today, which said the company was “very impressed” with what Sony had unveiled, and thought it best not to split the market for the next-gen:

“We looked at what Sony was doing, took a concerted look at our own console, and then decided it was in our best interests not to move forward with our next-gen console. Instead we plan to move into the development and publishing space, and have put into place the early phases of a partnership with Sony whereby all of our content would appear on the PS4.”

Google has a bunch this year.

- Google Maps has been turned into a treasure map.

- Google Wallet Mobile ATM, which works with the app and Android devices and dispenses money.

- Google Gmail Blue - everything is blue. A small play on the Windows 8 Blue update coming soon.

Twitter has a new feature where the basic account removes all vowels. You'll have to pay $5 to get them back.

Google Nose - Search for smells from Google's Aromabase, which has over 15 million scentibytes.
