We warned you yesterday that Blizzard couldn't be trusted on the first day of April, but zut alors have they ever outdone themselves this year with no fewer than four separate pranks! If there's an alternate reality version of you who's equally dorky but much, much more gullible, he's about to pee himself.
For instance, did you know that Lich King would be adding an awesome bard class to World of Warcraft or that WoW was coming to consoles with the decidedly old school Molten Core (there's even a trailer!)? Well, you must have heard about Tauren marines in StarCraft II, right? You haven't even seen Diablo II: Loot Pinata?
In case you're wondering what Blizzard is doing with the hundreds of millions they're earning from World of Warcraft ... it's this. It's just this.

Holy shit! I'm impressed at how much work they put into those fake pages. I'll usually just plastic wrap a toilet bowl or something and call it a day...

Yeah. That's great. Great job Blizzard. Why don't you spend your time making an actual MMO for consoles instead of creating lame ass jokes about it. Sheesh.

Okay, so disregard the point he was making.
I agree. It would be nice to see WoW on a console. Wii, 360. Any of the popular machines and it could be a big hit.

I can see the Tauren Marines making it into StarCraft II. After all, they got Terran Marines into WC III.

That unit will no doubt be in the campaign editor, and if we're all lucky a secret cow level buried somewhere in the single player campaign. Oh man that would be sweet...

'Has Sound' - that part was the clincher. Awesome pranks, Blizzard.

That was pretty damn funny.
I also enjoyed: :Blizzard's World of Warcraft: The Molten Core Collector's Edition, also announced today, will include tinted cellophane TV overlays, further increasing the array of colors available to players."
Agro bears FTW!!

What is with this industry and April fools? I blame EGM for starting this crap. Could you imagine if other industries follow suit?

I can't wait to play Molton Core in glorius 192i resolution and the fact that it has sound, that is just awesome.

If i want to read fake news i will read the onion. I am not a fan of filtering through a whole EGM to realize that it's the april issue and some of the stuff i read might not be true (At least game informer has a separate section).
I find it to be a lame waste of time.

Blizzard is crazy for making that ridiculous trailer for Molten Core. That had more production value than some movies.

I think you meant "zeut alors!", not "zut alors." It's ok, some of us also took french in high school for years.

I cracked: the other day I bought Dawn of War Platinum Edition (all expansions included) instead of waiting until the day Starcraft II comes out. For 30 dollars, it was extremely tempting.
Eventually it shall quench my thirst for RTS.

Not bad. WoW for PS3 would be the same thing(mouse+keyboard & mod support). The consoles, not so much. StarCraft 64 was amazing, so StarCraft II for Wii should be fantastic!
