The draenei's sexiness has been a staple of the WoW ERP community. I'm sure they are on edge to see what blizzard does with the new models.

Mechwarrior Online announces the UrbanMech.
http://mwomercs.com/news/2014/04/815-urbanmech-arrives-on-battlefield
We're excited to announce the UrbanMech UM-R60! This little guy packs quite the little punch with 1 AC/10 and 1 Small Laser for popping off those Mechs you know are hiding in an urban area. With a top speed of 32.4 kph, you won't be expected to chase down those pesky Jenners. Finally!
The UrbanMech UM-R60 will be available from April 1st with a Premium Skin. This unique Mech is available to only the most loyal MechWarriors, including 2 variants and the additional Hero variant.
A new Hero Mech arrives on the battlefield! The UM-CUB "Urbie Curby" comes hot from the manufacturer with two rear mounted AC/20s for pummeling at close range. Grab a partner pilot to join the glory, this Mech has no need for an engine! Ask a lancemate to tow you around (Attach hitch with "E") or stay put at your base like a defensive turret.

Heisters,
It seems that the police together with Gensec have gone all out in their efforts to stop us from heisting. Below we share the little information we've gathered from these new enemies.
Introducing the Mirror Shield
Using the latest Gensec developed L.I.N.K. technology, the new Mirror Shields will be able to reflect any projectiles that are shot at them. Also, trying to melee the shield will make you melee yourself.
Introducing the Cloaker Cloaker
The Cloaker Cloaker has taken stealth to a completely new level. Instead of running, the CC's use a special device to teleport themselves to any destination of their choosing. The sound effect they transmit has also been increased to be louder.
Introducing the Titandozer
The Titandozer will be your biggest challenge yet, literally. Standing taller than most buildings in Washington D.C., the Titandozer is armed with a titan armor and heavy machinery.
The release of these three new law enforcers is to be announced, although it will most likely be overpriced DLC.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I don't know why I never noticed the "translate" option on Twitter, but translating everything to German is by far the best thing that ever happened to me. Thanks Bing Translator
They can fuck off, Urbie is no joking matter.

Is it sad that i'd put money down for that DLC? If it ever existed?

The joke is that either Fez II never existed, or it was never cancelled.
and the ACTUAL goat legs (the community calls Draenei spacegoats)
That Oculus support for Farmville is lulz-tastic.

That looks sick as fuck.
Man, LabZero are great developers. Wish I could play SkullGirls competently, though. Maybe they'll eventually do that beat-em-up they've been teasing?
Totally fell for it.
"Come back when you can learn to manipulate sand or something"
Hahaha holy crap at that Jojo's Bizarre Adventure reference.
Damn, seriously?! Wonder if it'll hit consoles as well. Really need to play Encore & finally try Squigly out.

Half-Minute Hero 2 announced for April 4th.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3g30sLbr9aU
Pretty sure the date is accurate (they've been teasing the game coming out soon for the past couple weeks), but some of the info is obviously false ($999, Occulus Rift support).

Path of Exile: "Even when we're pay to win we're still fairer than 99% of the other games out there."
Also that Nickle and Dime joke was great.
The XBone subreddit does, not 100% sure why though. It may have to do with them seeing it as being related to /r/pcmasterrace.
I actually hope this is true. I liked Fez and while Phil Fish acted like an asshole he didn't deserve the overwhelming mountain of hate he got. Plus, he wasn't 100% wrong either. Maybe completely lacking it tact, but also not 100% wrong.

I have to give it to Blizzard and Google, they were quite funny. The idea of a controller with a credit card function is pretty funny. Too bad the Google Maps doesn't work for Android tablets.
Edit: OMG, go to Steam today. Holy crap!

The other two are funny in a mean way, but the netcode one was way too far. Having an april fools for their own fuck up? wow.
Eh? All i see is normal Steam, browser or client. (And if you're talking about that Facebook Steam thing, its URL doesn't match the real one)
Maybe they should also tweet that Battlefield 4 now works, since they seem fond of unfunny jokes.

This is hilarious.
The ultimate april fool's joke would to be subvert the expectation that this was a joke and actually do it. That way, he'd be able to develop the game without the internet up his ass the entire time... THINK ABOUT IT!

It's not sad. You just clearly hate winning. Teleporting cloakers would be the end of successful heists.
