Puzzle Quest debug menu just a prank, nude heroes not real

Now this is what an April Fools prank should be like. No outlandish promises for games we know will never exist, no half-baked Photoshopped images, and for the love of grilled cheese sandwiches, no ridiculous claims of Sony buying Nintendo. Just a good old fashioned joke that you believe at first but quickly realize you've been hoodwinked. Furthering the prankocity of the cheat, the sequence spells "I AM A NOOB" in Morse code!
We can't help but wonder how many Puzzle Quest fans dove for their system to try it out. You know, to turn off AI cheating. Not that nude hero thing.

Since they've been able to indict them. Or is that ham sandwiches? Awesome prank.

Hehe, this is a brilliant one, planned well in advance. Kudos to Infinite Interactive. Kinda reminds me of the "Activate 3D Mode" in The Curse of Monkey Island.

"Turn off cheating AI" should have been our first clue - the AI doesn't cheat! :P

This is a good one, but so was SOE's Everquest April Fools prank. The original Everquest had a small update, in which the update notes claimed a major overhaul of the graphics and character models, and that they were sure the players would be amazed. After logging in, all of the characters and NPC's were stick figures...
