Community Arill Fools Day Joke Idea's

If you've been asleep for the last ten days, you might not have noticed that it's March, and that makes the next month April, which begins with April Fools day. With giant bomb being such a community based website, I was thinking it would be cool if the whole community came together and did a big April fools joke together.

My initial thoughts are that we could all work together on a really detailed wiki page about a game that doesn't exist, and then on April 1st post links to it on neoGAF and forums on other websites to try and fool people (or at the very least give them a laugh). We could even submit it to the news email addresses of other game websites, although it's a bit of a long shot that they'll fall for it, with it being April Fools day, but I suppose it's worth a shot.

But this is just an idea, I'm sure some of you guys have better idea's of what we could do, so let's have a brainstorming forum thread to bounce around some idea's of what we could do, so post what you think we could do for April fools day.

GiantBomb becomes a Wii Fanboy Site. Count me in.

change every game page to say

this game sucks because it does not contain both funky student & hamburgers

Everyone change their name Red.

LOL I like the whole idea of mailing the game page to some news outlet or something.

Gigantic GiantBomb Fighter II Turbo Championship Edition High Def Remix. Or GGBFIITCEHDR. It's a JRPG/Fighter/Dating Sim/Puzzle Game. Only for the Ipod Touch.

I really like the idea. There are some media outlets that report things without doing much research and it would be so funny if they reported our fake game. I'm in!"

The ideas I hear are great, and I love this concept overall. Especially the Wii-centered stuff, lol.

wait so where doing pranks on other sites not on others here? alright...

I endorse this thread.

That video on one of the other forums about a dancing/ real-time strategy game featuring Stalin and martians could be the fake game? lol But it's probs a bit too ludicrous for even our purposes hehe.

That stalin Vs. martians game is real. I think. "

What about a satire like game in which you play as a merchant type character a la resi 4 -and your game objective is to traverse through multiple game universes in order to give equuipment and ammo to the 'heroes' of video games,  - - and the better your cockney accent the more you can charge

We could all give SmugDarkLoser +1's for a change

As much as i think April Fools day is stupid as Ryan does.

I would of liked tricking the staff who actually work here via some stupid page or topic in the forums...but that is now screwed.

hmm.....I like it, I'm in. False page all the way.
