The Starcraft 2 Kinect was my absolute favorite. The intensity on the Korean actor's face was pure gold, thank you so much Blizzard!

@ChaibyNight The best part was that the american players were freaking out the entire time while the Korean was calm. I wish it was a real thing.

@ChaibyNight lol, that was hilarious. the reason it's so funny is that if there really were a kinect starcraft that is EXACTLY how hardcore Korean players would play the game

Blizzard just sent me to Rebecca Black's video.

I am not pleased, Blizz.

I wish. Go to the WoW website and click on classes to have a nice little conversation on musical classics with your crabby pal.

I swear Christopher Walkin did some dubs in that video.

You kind of ruin the surprise of April Fools by saying April Fools. Funny, nevertheless.

The GOG.com one is really good too. I officially forgive them for the stunt they pulled during the site relaunch.

Ehhh, ArenaNet owned it with their Commando stuff. I think they blew everybody else out of the water this year.

I would give up a great many things to have that class enabled for just one day.

@Colin Actually, you can if you have Guild Wars. They implemented a quest for the weekend where a Commando from GW2 comes from the past to help you preserver the future. It's really epic.

@Colin LMFAO. No way, I'm actually super-serious. There's a helicopter in Embark Beach where you grab the quest. hahahaha. I def see where it sounds like a prank, though.

Ok. Now GWWiki is reporting a ton of crazy stuff in an update. Is it their joke, or Anet's or what? Someone is fooling me, and I don't like to be fooled.

Argh. I'm really going to have to reinstall GW to find out who is yanking my chain...

It is an actual quest, don't worry. Part of the joke is really selling the whole "Commando" concept. They snuck it in with the april fools update they do yearly.

Personally I'm a fan of the Ranger buffs.

But it is indeed an actual quest, ripe with Terminator and some Chrono Trigger references. Talk to Corporal Bane and you'll have plenty of fun! It's repeatable too.

But yes. Arena.Net destroyed the competition, a shame Joystiq doesn't seem to notice it. As the Commando class even rips on "Force Multipliers", aka kill streaks.

I know it's a typo, but I'd love to see a game called Guild Wards, or something like a prison rpg.

That crab is as creepy as it gets.

Loved the Starcraft video, except for the last bit. Way too corny.

@bm111 This game makes more sense on Move. Kinect is so *not* hardcore.

Starcraft Kinect look amazing, haha. 1up 'reported' on a Halo Dance Central, brilliant as also! Love this time of the year.

Quick typo, it's "Horadric" not "Horadic" :P.
Hillarious though.

In case you haven't tried it: put visagebook and angry imp into the cube, and see what comes out.

Hilarious.
