Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1096 Joined: 18 Sep 2007     | Apparently Virgin Blue in Australia offered standee tickets on their discount flights, at 50% off the fare for those who get seats. (And free calf massages.) Alas, the site now just reads "April Fools" and has a link to a real discount. Google is running a joint venture with Virgin (UK) to create the ultimate off-site backup system: http://www.google.com/virgle. Google Mail is also offering a service that allows you to backdate email... and have it arrive in time. Someone got to this year's BBC prank, which approaches the dizzying heights of their 50's "spaghetti harvest" prank. Turbine's offering the "Battle of Amon-hen" expansion to LOTRO with a new PC race; chickens. Bungie's tampered with their "Bungie Online" real-time player map to display Mister Chief. I expect this is only the first installment. More when I find it. -- Steve loves the creativity shown on this most holy of days. |

Be advised that YouTube's poisson d'Avril is redirecting all "Recommended Videos" links on their main page to a Rick Astley single. (I'm serious. They're not... though rolling the channers does have a delicious albeit iron-y flavour.) I recommend caution when linking to any YouTube video today. edited to add: d'oh! totally forgot that this was in the original post. time for more coffee... In more amusing news, discount airline Ryan Air is offering "Ryan Bare" adult-themed flights. Also in aviation news, WestJet is offering a low-cost sleeper service by modifying its overhead luggage bins. -- Steve |
Copy Clerk Posts: 53 Joined: 20 Jun 2007 | Kongregate put up a new card challenge and the game it links to is the Rick Astley video. Amusingly, it loaded a player in their in site system instead of pushing you off-site to youtube or something. I woke up at 3:30 am (not on purpose) and fumbled my way through the internet to figure out what Rick Rolling was. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1312 Joined: 7 Mar 2008 | http://www.fark.com has a good one, that will randomly pop itself up when visiting the page http://www.kotaku.com has gone on a cake binge tho i have to say the best one is this http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath/features/bard/bardclass.xml sadly slashdot hasn't topped their "OMG TEH PONIEZ!!!!1111" page from a couple years ago, they just have their normal joke stories the sad part about this day is everyone is still fooled by jokes |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 1096 Joined: 18 Sep 2007 | As I suspected Bungie had more up their sleeves, this time it looks like they're putting the fear of casual into hardcore players: entries on their jobs page looking for a choreographer, a 3D UI artist, and a software emulation engineer experienced in porting from Hitachi 128-bit chipsets and Yamaha legacy soundchips. -- Steve |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 481 Joined: 6 Dec 2007 | I'm an admin on http://www.projectrockstar.com/ which is a 'band manager' game. In this game, there are random events that occur to you or your bands some of them good, some of them bad. A couple of Aprils back, I created a fake 'newbie account' and basically managed to fool half the site into thinking an 'event' that causes all of your bands to quit and take a chunk of your money with them was real. I think there are still a couple of people who think even now that it's a real event. |

XKCD has changed to Questionable Content, Questionable Content is now Dinosaur Comics and Dinosaur Comics is XKCD. Someone post up what Ctrl+Alt+Del has done, might be the funniest thing that appears on that site all year (oh snap). EDIT |

Bastard! You got me! Good one. I actually thought they had done something... VGCats hasn't even updated in two weeks...
Doesn't work in America, though |
Anonymous Source Posts: 9 Joined: 18 Mar 2008 | I didn't notice the YouTube one since I only watch my subscriptions, I never look at the featured stuff. The BBC one is great. BTW. If you're in America and can't watch it, just search on YouTube I think someone's uploaded it. |
