Is it seriously too much to have this one day out of the year? You can't stand a couple of clever jokes for a single day? Bah to you April Fool's day haters. Be proud of the way our medium handles April Fool's day, it's pretty much a normal day everywhere else, but for gamers it's just a bit more special. Too bad, there's people like you out there who can't appreciate a joke, even for one day.

Huh, it's not supposed to be "all day". It's supposed to be until noon.
But hey some countries just take it too far, probably because they don't have good enough comedy on to decrease this joke pressure incrementally.

Why kill the fun of April Fools by alerting everyone of the pranks?

Why go to Joystiq on April Fool's?

It's two-fold:
1) The highlight the clever tricks put out there by various websites/developers before they're gone.
2) There are a LOT of idiots out there. Joystiq probably doesn't want to be flooded with 6,000 "OMG BARD CLASS IN WOW GH MEETS WOW OMGZ" emails.

Yea, or maybe they don't want to see April Fools jokes? Maybe their lives are happy enough without the overly abused "jokers" running rampant for twice as long as they're supposed to?
Heres a lesson - learn from the BBC. Make less jokes but make them INTERESTING. Pasta trees? Flying penguins? April Fools day only works when a respectable company does something jokey.
