April Fools is so 1995.

Who invented this stupid 'holiday?' Guy needs to be thrown off a building.

[Jay Gee]

If you thought it was news, then we should both be upset. But yeah, I thought I got taken, so I was a little angry. No hard feelings, fella.

[cliffbo]

look what we have done to the mods on this site :lol:

[Viper]

Lighten up guys.

If you can't handle some joke news on the one day of the year it's expected then you need some Prozac.

[masteratt]

The thing is, they are not really jokes, they are spamming.

At least make it funny or put some effort into it by making fake websites or something.



PS3 TO GET 50 EXCLUSIVES IN THE NEXT 3 DAYS!!!

LOL APRIL FOOLS! :crazy:

[curryking1]

Lol, I don't think we disagree at not getting mad at everything lol.

Most of us just think it's a waste of time and more importantly boring :P

We just don't care about this stuff when we want to see PS3 news, that's all.

yeh, fun is one thing, but getting peoples hopes up is another... having said that i just think Seph didn't consider the implications. he's one of the good guys!


Why do you think everything is black and white or with straight simple answers of hunky dory crap? Jeez.

The resolve is...

Most of us don't care about April Fools day and don't want to partake :)

c/s

[Sephiroth_VII]

The Defense speaks:

1. Guys, if you believe any good news posted between the 31st of March and 2nd of April, you are, frankly, stupid, or haven't noticed the date.

2. I included an obviously fake source, so while the article looked legit, you should always check the source, especially on a day like today.

3. It's 2 days a year(international forum, remember?), ffs. I really don't see a problem with posting stuff like this, and keeping them open for 48 hours. Even CNN loosens up during this time, I don't know why we take it so seriously.

4. It's just a joke. If you can't handle them, I suggest not going out the door today.

5. If I'd really wanted to piss you off, I would just have made the source link redirect to SCEA's press site (http://presscenter.playstation.com/Content/detailslots/2948/PS3%20Firmware%202.30%20FINAL.doc). Then you'd be hit with a box asking you for username/password, and would probably believe it until frosty or someone else with media access logged in and confirmed it was fake.
The thing is, they are not really jokes, they are spamming.

At least make it funny or put some effort into it by making fake websites or something.

LOL APRIL FOOLS! :crazy:

I actually used over an hour making sure it looked legit, lol!

[masteratt]

Well now even if we do want to do it, you completely assassinated the mood.

Oh well, what a shame.

[LiquidEagle]

lol well I'm definitely not willing to put in the effort Seph did so it all worked out.

PSN Store Redesign: Giggity Giggity.
by Daniel Bright

While speaking with my contact at Sony via e-mail, I managed to get him to spill a little news about the PSN store re-structuring. Hold on, because this gets weird really fast.

First: The store design will include a more intuitive category system. You’ll also be able to sort the items on each page by name, most downloads, date added, and category.

Secondly: There will be more types of download-able content to be added to the PSN store. Starting from the redesigns launch you’ll be able to download full length movies!

Now, here’s the strange part: There will be a ‘Mature’ section. That’s right. Adult movies as well as Mature rated games and other content will be accessible from this section. It’s the only part of the store that isn’t readily available, however. When you attempt to access this portion of the store, you’re taken to a sign up page. On this page you are to submit various information to Sony to help verify your age. In the span of 3 to 4 days, you’ll receive a PM from Sony. You’ll know it’s official (and not some hacker) because you won’t be able to reply to the sender and the user-name will be the Playstation 1 logo. If you information was legit, it’ll contain an attachment. The attachment will be an update for your system that will unlock access to the adult section of the Playstation store. From there you’ll be able to purchase all the different kinds of adult friendly content. As cool as that seems, it’s a little too thorough for my tastes.

The part written in a huge font size was added by VG after he locked the thread.

[Raitei]

oh... well.. thats hardly worth the furor....

shit.. smile guys

[curryking1]

Seph is someone actually mad at you? Why are you defending yourself lol...

I hope no one is actually mad about this. That'd just be... odd. Awkward. Peculiar. Strange. Many things like that :P

[GTAce]

Yep im not mad, i just didnt want that the board gets spammed with fake news.
I dont have something against April jokes, but getting hopes up for some people isnt that funny IMO.
Im completly with masteratt here.

[Fats]

Lighten up guys.

If you can't handle some joke news on the one day of the year it's expected then you need some Prozac.

[curryking1]

To be completely correct about this (got to do this, for the good of mankind! :D)... Prozac is for depression, not anger.

If anything it could make an angry person even more 'excited' and possibly angry.

I personally thought most of us just think that April Fools is kind of boring and dumb lol. I don't think any of us are actually depressed or angry about it lol (at least I'm speaking for me and GTAce and a few others at the very least XD).

The funniest thing is that I guess 'for all t3h kool' internet kiddies it's 'kool' to say 'LOL! WUTZ' at all the April Fools jokes or whatever, but I dunno, that seems kind of lame lol.

I guess I can't be internet cool then.. too bad for me :(:(:(

I dunno how I'm supposed to fight the flow of 'cool on the intarweb' anyway lol, I'm still in the boat and impression that April Fools is boring here or there lol.

I mean seriously, did anyone actually go out and do 'April Fools' and try to 'have a blast' today? I just had a normal day today lol :-)

[Fats]

Christ, now we're pointing out what Prozac actually does?

*runs away*

[Viper]

It isn't for the anger, it's for the fact that they'd be easily irritated by something so trivial.

[curryking1]

^Lol I know, I just felt like saying.

Just we don't want anyone taking Prozac for anger now do we!? ;)

^^Lol Fats! Man, I guess you can't joke about anything unless it's the 'proper thing to joke about.'

This forum has it's own internet clique subculture lol. It's pretty lame haha.

Edit - Not that it's you Fats doing that! You seem not insane :P

[Fats]

You're lame. There I SAID IT. Okay!?

[curryking1]

Hurting!!! :cry2:

Lol :P

[Sephiroth_VII]

I mean seriously, did anyone actually go out and do 'April Fools' and try to 'have a blast' today? I just had a normal day today lol :-)

Yes, yes I did. Rickrolled every PC in school I could get my hands on, set this (http://www.elon.edu/images/e-web/pendulum/April-Fool-ILLUS.jpg), this (http://www.getfirefox.com) and this (http//:www.internetisseriousbusiness.com)(don't click) as the start tabs for IE7. That'll teach them to use Firefox(also installed by default)!

I told my friends my car got stolen, come pick me up from the next city. Once they reached that city(3 hours drive), I called them up and announced April Fools!! LMAO :laugh:

Yea, I'm Evul :evil: & Shallow :-p sue me!

[masonite]

I thought it was bloody well written, once i got over the disappointment of no ingame custom soundtracks ;)
If nothing else, this experience should have taught everyone one thing:

before you believe it, check the fucking source.

I'd rather have one humorous and well written april fools joke to remind us of this than hundreds of stupid, idiotic rumours posted from and half-arsed sources on the internet.

GTAce's sentiments still ring true though (even if in a slightly altaired [just to bring two april fools jokes together ;)] context) -

keep the forum clean. Always check your sources before you post.


i think a few people have had too many of these (http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/spazztroids.html)...

[LiquidEagle]

I was nodding in agreement with your post and then when I saw "altaired" I cracked the hell up, very nice :laugh:

Anyways, what he said ^^
