April Fools' 2010 Roundup

[LunarTick]

Wizards of the Coast has released some new D&D products. Like the book Dice 'n Wipes [http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4news/20100401b].

They also have some movie-quote-based powers [http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4dnd/quotepowers] for 4th edition.

I reckon the Razer Venom one is the best of this lot. The page looks so professional, and they don't give it away at all - even to the order page. It's frickin' scary tbh!

TESV Announced at Last ? April 1st, 2010
Bethesda Softworks announced today, April 1, that the next version of The Elder Scrolls series, the long-awaited TESV, will be a retro game.

Bethesda spokesperson Opal Firlo announced that the next game would revisit "Pacman" - the popular franchise from the 80's, and abandon typical RPG elements in favor of choices such as "flap or oil", which would see the protagonist flying out of harm's way or oiling themselves to slide out of an enemy's grasp.

In addition, a geography element will be added to the game - a player will be able to select the "Polar if lo" option to head back to a base at one of the antipodes if seriously damaged. This reviewer found a cheat mode to finish the game: typing "I All Proof" will prevent the character from dying, but if the player can find the "Poor Flail" or can dive into the "Flair Pool", that shouldn't be an issue.

(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.

I've noticed that xkcd's site responds to 'cat','help', 'man', and 'ping'. What others can you guys find?

you can do "Go west" for ages, along with "Make me a sandwich" and "Sudo make me a sandwich"

I typed in "Go South" and was promptly eaten by a Grue
