Google’s April Fool’s Day Prank is Flush with Humor

So were you the victim of any April Fool’s Day pranks? We certainly were after we innocently went to Google.com the first day of April, and became intrigued by their offer for “Google TiSP”, their new FREE in-home WiFi service—utilizing your toilet and plumbing to connect to fiber-optic cable strung through sewage lines. After viewing the photos, our dumbstruck confusion yielded to laughter after we realized that it was all an incredibly elaborate April Fool’s Day prank. With detailed diagrams, how-to photos and even a FAQ, it’s impressive how much work went into this prank—and we can assure them their efforts didn’t go down the drain. If you’d like, check out Google’s previous April Fool deceptions, and click the links in the last sentence.

Those Japanese Pranksters…

I came across these videos on YouTube while pa-rousing the latest in the "pranks" category. Almost peed my pants, they were so funny. You have to have a looksy and share with anyone having a bad day, they will surely be thankful that we live in the great ol' U.S. of A. 'cuz I kid you not, if we tried to pull off any of these stunts, we would be forced to wear a scarlet "P" across our chests pointing out the sick perversion in our minds, then have to share a cell with someone named Tank because we being U. S. Citizens, would have crossed that fine line between hilarity and a right to privacy. So thank goodness for these Japanese pranksters willing to go to any length for a good ol' hearty laugh. Have a gander above and two more after the break to get those giggles flowing.

Bully For Me

Saturday was a school work day, with two group meetings early in the day. Once I got home, however, I found a copy of Rockstar’s latest, Bully, waiting for me.

I stayed up until 2AM playing it.

The game is very accessible, but they way they’ve structured the game in several places serves to keep the tension up. You’re basically in perpetual trouble, late to class, out past curfew, etc. When you’re trouble meter is on the rise, you have to avoid the prefects or you’ll be busted on the spot (though you learn ways out of that). The more trouble you’re in, the more likely you are to get a one-way ticket to “The Head’s” office.

Penny Arcade To Offer Comic Adventure Game

Just ahead of the start of this year’s Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), Penny Arcade announced that they would be entering a partnership with Hothead Games to release a video game based around the web comic, titled Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. The Penny Arcade characters have already appeared in a collectible card game published by Sabretooth games, so this new endeavor will only push their empire further into the areas that are normally the targets of their satire. The game will be offered as downloadable episodic content, and will be playable on the PC, Mac, and Linux platforms initially, with possible releases on next generation console platforms later. Their partner, Hothead Games, is a new company with a strong pedigree; the company was founded by former employees of Radical Entertainment, Silicon Knights, and EA Black Box.
