Awesome April 1st 2010

Well, now that April Fool's Day is over, here are some great April Fool's gag I found around the web.


There are a couple of new games from Blizzard... for mobile devices:

• Blackthorne 2: Thorne Harder - Set 16 years after the original game. The game boasts uncanny life-like AI and photorealistic graphics.

• Queen's Quest - The story of Kerrigan after the Brood War. It has amazing 2D graphics and incorporates a text parser ala old school adventure games (like King's Quest maybe).

Blizzard's new Battle.net Matchmaking. Give it a try.

Blizzard's new merchandise:
Battle.net Neural Interface
Diablo 3: X-Treme Gamer Blanket
Diablo 3: Deckard Cain GPS voice pack
WoW: Equipment Potency Equivalent Number


Notable mentions:

Ubisoft: Rabbids: Splinter Cell Conviction (JP);
Ecco 2: Water Wars
Razer: Venom
Kotaku: Announcing Koticku

[UPDATE 2]

Nokia Morph

In my humble opinion, this is the most awesome concept of a mobile media/communication device I've ever seen.

If this ever became real, it'll most likely revolutionize the way we use our media. Much like the the iPhone, in a way.

Imagine this, instead of downloading updates to your software, how about updates to your hardware? Imagine that you saw an update for this device that enables it to become a digital camera. Another update might add HD video recording functionality to it. Yet another could add flash or night vision capability.

You could practically change the device to suit your own needs and preferences. There may be as many varieties as there are people with this device. Consumers are no longer constrained to what the manufacturers can produce. 

If this is the future, I hope to still be around to see it.
