Blizzard had a pretty nice post about bringing the Warhound back to SC2.

EDIT: oh wow...they actually replaced all the worker models in SC2 with the Warhound XD

I remember when I bought an actual PC game that included aroma technology. Can Google show any tangible progress in the 27 years since?

Nice jab at Microsoft.


Heh...1:11 'Brown was a disaster' - I immediately thought of the original Zune.

And it's a little confusing because if you're playing a "random" race opponent and they scout you first, you still don't know what they are. :lol:

The joke will be on ThinkGeek when the Eye of Sauron Desk Lamp becomes so highly demanded that they have to release it.

I really really really want the Batman family stickers.

If that doesn't become a reality, though, I might just find a regular Batman one and two tombstones...I just thought about that and it makes me happy :D

Today's xkcd is essentially an incitement to Wikipedia vandalism. The content of the first panel is influenced by the content of a Wikipedia article (the targeted article changes periodically, and is mentioned in the mouseover text of the first panel). I'm guessing that there are a lot of Wikipedia editors pissed off at xkcd today...

Did you see the bottom panel? $20k+ raised to placate the editors so far... Genius. :D

You just described the origin of the Tauntaun sleeping bag.

...and the 8-bit tie, and the iCade... ThinkGeek turned their April Fools jokes into a intentional means to gauge interest in new products awhile ago. It's really great. The best part about their most recent spoofs is how plausible they are.

The funny part about this one is that some of those bacon products (bacon shaving cream) are real.

Http 404 error. Even had I clicked that link this morning, that's just nasty. Not funny for Valve to tease like that.

My most memorable (the one I still remember from years past) would be Techreports LOL catz

Fixed HL Ep 3 Link. It's still there, and it's still cruel.

That's good, because it wasn't Valve who did it. :P
