Check your WoW armory page. All the avatars and character models have been changed to Tuskar.

I'd link it, but my Epeen isn't big enough to take the amount of being laughed at my gear would get.

YouTube is broadcasting videos in TextP, the best resolution EVER!

I've spent half an hour just going through XKCD's source code finding all the silliness he added in there. Don't forget to 'look' around.

In other news, I am a proud member of Team Jacob on DeviantArt.
My favorite is still Bollywood Halo.

EDIT:
Also, Seattle regular and star of the NBC hit show Community, Joel McHale, pwnd pop nub Ryan Seacrest here: http://www.ryanseacrest.com/

Here is an exercise to spot pranks from yahoo UK.

If you go to ign they have live footage of the first Halo movie.

Best April fools joke ever!

 

[Jumplion]

Deviant Art has replaced the avatars and signatures of all members with one of four things:

Team Gaga (Lady Gaga stuff)

Team Seeker (Legend of the Seeker?)

And of course, Teams Edward and Jacob.

Pretty entertaining, I'm on Team Seeker (thank god.)

Crap, I'm Team Edward >_< Good thing I hardly ever used my account...

OT: I find all of these absolutely hilarious. Hail the Fools of April!

I hate April Fool's Day. Not only do the jokes and rickrolls begin wearing thin after an hour or so, sometimes great ideas emerge that turn out to be jokes and then die in dishonor at 12:01 on April 2nd.

Someone's still bitter about the Legend of Zelda trailer.

Well I don't do Rick Rolls.

I'm going to be sad when the Text resolution is removed from Youtube.

Blizzard Announces Blackthorne 2: Thorne Harder and Queen's Quest for iPhone - Blizzard has revealed two new mobile games [http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/games/mobile/] in development. One is a sequel to their very, very old title Blackthorne featuring the main character's return to earth to stop an alien menace, boasting "magical, revolutionary gameplay" and "[some] sort of arbitrary Twitter and Facebook integration. Your friends will thank you."

The other is Queen's Quest, an old-school adventure game starring Kerrigan, Queen of Blades. Save the Zerg Swarm using just your words! Queen's Quest will utilize a "revolutionary Digital Rights Management (DRM) scheme in 5 easy steps" including code wheels, pass-phrases hidden in the manuals, and verbal authentication.

Ahhhh, it's Cerdric, kill it, killll iiiit!!!

Whats sad is that I hate Halo... but Halo Chess looks AWESOME! I so wish it wasn't an April fools... I would play the hell out of that. Its Battlechess all over again!

 

[Radelaide]

(Have we missed one? Of course we have - post a link in the comments thread!)

You missed off the huge numbers of people getting banned.
Well at least we're hoping that's April Foolery.

*runs and hides*

Edit: The XKCD [http://xkcd.com/] webcomic has a good one, though you'd only really find all of it funny if you're a fan.

Jeph Jaques (from QC) released a Yaoi comic!

Watch the Cow video from Google's Animal Translate for an extra easter egg.
Also http://www.wowwiki.com has a simple one (takes a bit to notice).

Which one? The offer for an Everquest trial, the part about the crappy ads, the upside-down logos, the sarcastic staff change, or the Dragonriders of Pern reference?

 

[Endocrom]

I know somebody mentioned it already but Homestar Runner [http://www.homestarrunner.com] finally put something animated up. The last thing they did was in november!

also, check out VGCats [http://www.vgcats.com/] , I couldn't believe he posted 7 comics at a time, plus an april fools scheme for his main page. He really has made up for the lack of updates.

 

[Macgyvercas]

There was an April Fools joke on Jeopardy today. They announced Alex and Pat Sajack (sp?) from Wheel of Fortune came out.

 

[MimsySnark]

So glad this thread informed me of the kickass new xkcd format! I've been so amused the last 10 minutes seeing what it does: i typed "sleep", and the text said "you take a nap" and the whole screen went dark! What an inventive way to do April Fool's!

EDIT: One of my commands led the program to kill me! Oh Noes!

 

[b4XT3r]

My favorites are Halo chess and the Mass Effect 2 secret sex scene.

I was referring to the upside down images (every image in the site).
