All the April Fool’s Crap You Missed Yesterday
Thank god that April Fool’s Day was on a weekend for once, meaning I spent less time on the internet and didn’t have to guess if whatever I was seeing was real or not. It’s a humorous internet holiday I suppose, but one that I’m sort of growing tired of over the years.
In case you weren’t web surfing yesterday (wow, I haven’t said “web surfing” in like eight years), here’s what you missed April Fools-wise in terms of things I deem relevant Unreality content. Some are pretty great, other’s a nice try. Check out the fully list below.
Mass Effect’s Saturday Morning Cartoon
Better in concept than execution, but I would totally watch a non-awful ME cartoon.
Introducing Gmail Tap
This is actually a fantastic idea.
Tom from Toonami Reviews Mass Effect 3
OH MY GOD THEY BROUGHT TOONAMI BACK THIS IS THE BEST ONE EVER.
SEGA’s Bass Fishing of the Dead
Zombies are really everywhere these days.
Assassin’s Creed for Kinect
You know, some parts of this look cool, but then there’s the eternal question of how to walk in three dimensions with no controller.
Google Announces Self-Driving Racecar
Again, I want a self-driving car in my lifetime.
Blizzard Kidzz – Zergling Teaches Typing
Blizzard has like ten April Fool’s jokes a year, so here’s one of them.
More Unreal Posts
Thanks for the video wrap up!
I saw the Toonami one and about shit my pants…then I noticed what day it was then I was sad again
The google map is cool! today is the day after April’s Fool but still I find myself looking for the “Quest” on google. Haha!
You missed the Reddit timeline
This year’s stuff was all stupid. I was hoping for something that would have gone completely viral and had everyone believing it. This was all “Hey look what we made… PSYCH! lol.” I can’t wait for next year when it’s on a week day and everybody is too taken in with work to not believe something.
Was that LL Cool J in the Gmail Tap one?
@Alex
Yes that was LL Cool J
The Google Chrome multitasking was pretty awesome as well.
- “You can tap it in the morning. You can tap it at night. You can tap it in the bathroom.” LOL!!!
- Is there ever a moment the question “Hilarious?” can’t be answered with “Harry Partridge”?
- TOM, COME BACK!!! WE NEED TOONAMI! This one would have been better if the fantasy wasn’t broken by Tom cursing and then commenting on the ‘dating’ aspect of Mass Effect. Still, I am so glad someone did this.
- Someone needs to create a functioning version of Google Maps 8-Bit (“Quest”) pronto. Make it exactly like what is shown in the video and I will not be able to stop playi- errr- planning my travel routes.
The Hungry Hungry Hippos is real. Think Geek sells it.
