April Fools!

[Tanas]

Yeah, maybe you are right but it was definitely the most questionable, and it sort of did appear legit at first.

 

[NextStep]

i like the effort that was put into it.

it got me fooled for a minute, then i remembered it was April Fools. so year. good day~

 

[NeoWoeN]

Best april fool ever, really.

 

[perimbean]

For a while I though GBATemp was sold out to CNET.

Come think of it....it would be a BIG WASTE.
Anyway, you fooled me!

Great work to the staff and people behind the scene who took great pains to maintain and grow the site!

Kudos!

WELL, i knew it, i knew it.. just didn't want to believe it was an april fools joke >_>"

cause if they did own gbatemp, how would we still be posting about modding, flashcarts and so on..

 

[kompact]

Anyone who actually fell for that is fucking retarded. It was so shittly done and over the top. SO blatantly obvious. Give me a break.

Well I guess I am retarded! I didn't realize it was April fools (just didn't dawn on me it was that time of year), dropped by the site to see what was new in the homebrew world this week and saw the news on the front page. For those people who are not on the forums daily and not expecting a rouse ... well it was pretty well done. GJ guys.

 

[Westside]

It was a really cruel joke. Only 1% of me believed it, but I love GBAtemp so much, that 1% was enough to torment me. I don't think my heart can take it anymore...

-Edit- Sorry, this ain't the testing area...

 

[Tanas]

Maybe the main reason why most people fell for these jokes was because to most of us they where posted on the March 31st not on April fools day , and that is the only reason most people fell for them.

My fool was better

lawl

 

[DarkAura]

Caught myself. I was like, wait.... At least I'm not so stupid, although I was first like WTF!! Lawl.

 

[Dudu.exe]

I still dont belive someone really fell for it.. and i´m not even a regular menber.. was just too obvius.

 

[SeanoRLY?]

People that can't learn to look at the date and notice that it's April the 1st are retarded

You can't take anything seriously on a day like that.

 

[NYCvinster]

I knew it was a joke, and now that the swear filter is off, I'd just like to say from the bottom of my heart .... Boo!
(you thought I was going to curse? fuck you!)

"Ya, I knew it was fake the whole time"
"You guys are retards, any one with a brain knew it was fake"
"Haha, you idiots - I knew it was fake"

Yeah, bullshit.
That was the most convincing April Fools joke ever.

Ever.

Yeah that's right....

Goodjob to the Webmaters and all the others for such a great hoax

But the best April Fool (in my opinion) is from IGN with their Zelda the movie ^^

 

[Youkai]

at least the idea was funny ...

i think its a good thing that the staff makes themselfes the work and think about a nice april fool for all of us here

There are several pages that made nothing or like nothing which is lame in my opinion.

Ok it could have been less obvious but still in the first minute i was a little bit "surprised" why gbatemp changed when i wen on the page, until i realised that its 1. april and that this sounded all fishy.

 

[FireEmblemGuy]

Wait, JPH wasn't faking? That actually surprises me.

But yeah, the poor ad and the scrolling C|NET bar on top gave it away pretty quick.

Nope.

Good ol' Linkiboy is back, and I hope Orc and ShadowXP come back as well! (And Thug should be here in a couple of hours for his next shift

)
