Gamespot's April 1 Rumor Control

Posted by Zonk on from the hole-in-the-windbag dept.

In case any of you were wondering what was and wasn't true yesterday, Gamespot has a rundown on some of the stories that made the rounds on 2005's April 1st. From the article: "One of the day's more devious pranks--also spread by the now obviously complicit Slashdot--plays on the fears of many gamers. In particular, it outlines the nightmare scenario of those who shelled out $99.99 for the Final Fantasy XI/PS2 hard drive bundle. Namely, if its subscriber base dwindles, Sony might discontinue support for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game." Heh.

  1. April 1st Rules!!! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah!!!! OMG, Yesterday was so cool!!! How come they don't run awesome posts like those everyday. I wish April 1st was all year round. Now I am sad I have to wait 364 days until we get all those extra funny blessings from our super friends at Slashdot again. Thank you Zonk for this retrospective post about the great day yesterday. Almost brought a tear to my eye.

    Kids today have no work ethic. I can't imagine not playing a game simply because you don't find it fun.
