LoneWolf16 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Went from confusion, to hope, to "God I hate you Blizzard", to April 1st, to "God damn people playing with my Starcraft related emotions". I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulgarian Jedi Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I think the game's title should rather be galaxy or universe of Starcraft. And if you think that is a Blizzard April Frist joke, look the the new Alliance race in the WoW expansion. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrus...hall/wisps.html Нека Силата винаги бъде с теб!

Dyan Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Almost too bad it is a hoax... oh well. HK47: Commentary: It is not possible to destroy the master. It is suggested that you run while my blasters warm, meatbags. Bastila to Revan: You are easily the vainest, most arrogant man I have ever met! Canderous to Bastila: Insults? Maybe if your master had trained your lightsaber to be as quick as your tongue you could have escaped those Vulkars, you spoiled little Jedi princess!

Musopticon? Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 (edited) So...obvious that it almost makes me cringe. A little effort would have bee nice, although the Blizzard one wasn't so bad. Edit: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/worldofstarcraft/forum.html I feel dirty now. Edited April 1, 2006 by Musopticon? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Llyranor Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Another freaking reason to hate Gamespot. You know, as a news site they should be more freaking responsible and gamers should know better to trust anything that Gamespot has to say. Freaking crayonholes. Why the zeus would gamers trust anything that Gamespot says in the first place? What is hilarious about it? Gamespot losing its one last shred of credibility? You would think that they would have some shred of professionalism over there. Sorry, but I don't see it that way. A news site, television station, or newspaper has to maintain a certain level of professionalism 100% all the time otherwise what would be the point of reporting the news in the first place. It would be no better than those lame arse tabloids with huge headlines talking about Batboy or putting out false information on some celebrity. Sheer stupidity, that is all it is. Only an idiot would post a hoax on a news site. I don't think I am overreacting one bit. People have been sued over releasing false information that were presented as news. A joke? Hardly. A joke is funny. This is not. Given how many people wanted this very thing to happen, it's a VERY cruel joke. I admit it, yes. Then I tracked it back where it came from and Gamespot was the source. There was a glimmer of hope that World of Starcraft would not be World of Warcraft with Guns and I should have realized that hope is a fallacy and worthless. This is not a joke. Simply false news done so in a malicious way and should be dealt with accordingly by civil law when a news site, may it be on the web or some other media, relates false information about a company, individual, and/or product. Sorry, I don't find yellow journalism and hoaxes one bit funny. Never have and never will. Man, I hate April 1st as much as I hate Easter and Christmas. I still say that Blizzard should seek legal action against Gamespot for what was clearly misinformation about their respective companies and products done so in a malicious manner.

Pope Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Why the zeus would gamers trust anything that Gamespot says in the first place? I've no qualms with GameSpot anymore. Ever since they got the "We Say, You Say, They Say", their reviews have been pretty accurate, 'cause if they're not, you'll notice the difference between these scores. At least they're more trustworthy than IGNorance. That said, this was a pretty obvious April Fools. I almost believed Blizzard's Wisp prank though, but that's because it's not a very good one. The Two-Headed Ogre April Fools was gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
