Oh yes, the glory of April Fools on the internet has passed for another year. I can now read my Facebook news feed without

MUCH LIES. SUCH PRANKS. WOW

Here is a recap of some of my April 1 favourites from all over the web.

Every year I wait with baited breath for wait hilarity these guys will come up with. This year was not a disappointment.

Manrik’s Wife will beat you down… if you can find her

Outcasts With combatants such as Manrik’s Wife and the Treasure Goblin from Diablo 3 this game would be so much win). You can also buy a peripheral Fight Stick that comes with a credit card slot.
World of Warcraft Patch Notes (Seriously worth the long read, with gems such as;
“As a part of the pre-expansion launch event, reaching the end of the Siege of Orgrimmar raid will now display: “Thank you! But our Garrosh is in another castle.”
“Despite concerns over workers’ rights violations due to unreasonable weather conditions, Arthas has stated that people should let it go, and that he will indeed remain the final boss of Icecrown Citadel. The cold never bothered him anyway”
“Vampiric Embrace now calls upon a glittery vampire to hold you and tell you he will always protect you, Bella”
Draenei remodelling (Yup, she’s fugly)
Star Craft 2 new expansion
Happy Reaper (a playable flappy bird clone with the Diablo 3 xpac twist)

Cutest Reaper there is

They have out done themselves for another year. Make sure you watch some of the products videos, so much win.

I need this… I keep having to borrow my boyfriends beardedness for deep thought.

As in the past some of the April Fools products will probably end up getting made (The Technomancer Hoodie, the Star Wars Tauntuan Sleeping Bag, Canned Unicorn Meat etc.) so will be exciting to see what does make the cut (COME ON FLUX CAPACITOR CAR CHARGER AND STEIN!).
