The Big Question: April Fools’ Jokes

So it’s April 1. This means one thing: idiotic fake stories about video game things. What are your thoughts on this time-honoured practice? Just a bit of fun or a major pain in your arse?

Personally, I find it a pain and I sort of wish it could go away. I can’t think of a single good April Fools’ joke that was worthwhile in video games ever. That’s probably a bit of a stretch actually — especially considering how cool the Google Maps Pac-Man thing is.

Okay, well that’s the distinction: cool things are cool. Made up stories about video games are not.

That’s just my view point. I may be a grumpy old curmudgeon.

What are your thoughts?
