UPDATED (again): Blizzard April fools 2011

[Ghostkai]

As some of you may know, Blizzard LOVE April 1st.

In the past we've had a console game announced, a restaurant chain, a "Bard Class" (Guitar Hero style!), an in game "Gear Score", and many others.

Well, here's today's gag, though knowing Blizzard, I am sure there will be more throughout the course of the day.

; Wow...They sure pulled out the stops for this one...

 

[VanQ]

Well that was a boring April fools in comparison to the Tauren Marine and the Bard. Hell, I STILL want to see Tauren Marines incorporated into StarCraft. Damn you Blizz, for getting my hopes up all that time ago!

 

[Ghostkai]

Nothing beats the Molten Core console game

 

[Ghostkai]

Updated OP with the new content just put up. Thats more like it Blizz

That crabby thing follows you around through Blizzard pages...and you can't send it away!

Edit: NOOOOO! If you talk to the thing it will lead you into that Rebecca Black music video. >.<

He's only trying to help.

"Was this information helpful?"
No
"Well what do you expect from me?! I HAVE GIANT CLAWS FOR HANDS!"


Edit: "Report bugs you find on the website in the Website Bug Reports Forum. Unless it's about my me. I'm purely a figment of your imagination."

Best line ever haha.

Well, credit to Blizz, they've amused me yet again.

 

[Mathak]

Crabby just linked me a picture of the fanart it drew. 0_o

 

[Serving UpSmiles]

Who's crabby?....

 

[Hiphophippo]

Crabby is hilarious. He Friday rolled me, hit me with some of his personal fanart, and asked me if I wanted to RP a little.

Genius. He'll say things about nearly every page on the site.

 

[DanielBrown]

Crabby was an awesome feature, as well as the new instance.
Nothing beats the Archivist class for Diablo III or the new Molten Core instance April Fools though.

 

[Bags159]

Oh god, it's the paper clip in crab form! Unfortunately I don't really get the D3 joke as I don't play Diablo.

 

[BloatedGuppy]

Crabby and the Tomb of Immortal Darkness were pretty funny, especially since the latter seemed like a pretty transparent middle finger to people who complained about the art style in Diablo 3.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Crabby is indeed hilarious. The other one...I wouldn't be opposed to a horror-ish dungeon like that. Sounds pretty cool.

But not as hilarious as the other ones. It's so hard to pick between the Dance Contests, Bard class, Archivist, Molten Core on console and the Tauren Marine.

 

[King of Wei]

"I'm Commander Crabby and this is my favorite page on the website."
This made my day.

Thanks, been at work all day, so hard to keep up with the updates XD

Updated the OP now with this, which quite frankly, takes the biscuit.

 

[Galliam]

I haven't been on anything Blizzard since last december. Crabby was good, but the archivist was my favorite all time April Fools day prank.

 

[CLEVERSLEAZOID]

And their amazing 4.1.1 update. That sounds awesome!
