    JFC Kill me now! Just do it! Kill me now and get the pain over with!

    I know a buddy of mine who wrote a simple shell script that could do that.

    The world peace thing, I mean. Not the hook up.

  3. Not really a horrible idea by mikael_j · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm not saying this is a great idea but somehow the basic idea of integrating a dating/matchmaking service into something else sort of makes sense to me, but maybe that's because I'm one of those people who would rather meet someone I have something in common with.

    It would of course be very hard to implement but the basic idea is interesting, kind of like integrating a matchmaking service into Facebook (no, not as a third party app, as an integrated component where you can look for people in your area who are available and who seem to be compatible with you), but then I'm looking at this from the point of view of someone who would like to try coding said functionality using the available data...

  4. An April Fool's summary article by idontgno · · Score: 4, Funny

    At The Escapist, there was a summary of this year's gaming-related April Foolery. The article had one actually useful tidbit of information.

    I now know a good acronym synonym for "gearscore", which is the current fetish on every WoW Looking-For-Group chat channel.

    It's "Equipment Potency EquivalencE Number (EPEEN)"

    This one was a little funnier I thought. Although it pokes fun at WoW culture rather than generic game culture.

  6. Re:Orc's are the easiest. by Locke2005 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Level 30 Orc's put out the most on the first date Dude, everybody knows that's because they are so friggin' ugly! The Elves are the one you wanna date; they are really good in bed... only problem is, it's a bit difficult to tell the female elves from the male elves... oh, and their ears aren't the only thing that's pointed!

    I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
  7. If only this was an April Fools joke by nEoN+nOoDlE · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The only joke is that Blizzard is announcing it. Unfortunately, this service is actually being released
