    Ugh...just saw the "joke" on finalfantasy-xiii.net

    I am so close to becoming that guy over it that it's ridiculous.

    Not as bad as the "joke" gay hating in the forums.
    See...you say things like this, and now I have to go and see for myself.

    I am blaming any and all deaths that occur because of this on you.

    I'm still crossing my fingers of 3.21 being an april fools joke. Too bad they're probably relying on people thinking it's just a joke and downloading for the lulz only to discover they've just made their PS3 just one feature closer to being bricked.

    I don't really see the point of having a gimped linux feature anyway so 3.21 isn't a big deal to me.

    Also, blazblue vs arcana heart confirmed.

    We just had a run in, in the pokemon thread. Someone "leaked" the gen 5 starters from 2chan. The links disappeared pretty quickly though.

    Although, honestly, a gay main protagonist? It needs to happen sometime.
    Vanille and Fang
    come close, but I see them both as mainly supporting cast members. It doesn't help that
    they're both women, which is generally seen as more acceptable to the primarily male audience that video games play to. Lesbianism is cool and hot while playing gay is just "gay" and that's a double-standard that needs to be removed some day.

    Anyway, getting off the soapbox now.

    I still remember the EGM April Fools with a screenshot of Sheng Long appearing in Street Fighter 2. That was one of the earliest April Fools jokes I can remember from a major source, pre-internet.

    I don't really see the point of taking away a feature I use and paid for so 3.21 is a big deal to me :(

    I was a fan of the OMG ponies slashdot joke the first time they did it.

    This is the Cerberus Daily News from within Mass Effect 2:

    Today, 04/01/2010 - Planet DC1938 Explodes After Core Fusion

    “DC1938, a small garden world circling the red supergiant SM2183 Rua,
    exploded today in a rare phenomenon called core fusion. The planet's
    uranium core collapsed in on itself, igniting a thermonuclear explosion
    large enough to rupture the planet into several pieces. The shock wave
    and loss of atmosphere has reportedly killed more than five billion
    native inhabitants. There is one known survivor: an infant rocketed from
    the planet in an FTL escape pod picked up by the human cruiser MSV
    Kent. The inhabitants of the planet, previously unknown to the galaxy,
    were a spacefaring race who used crystalline matrices for their
    computing needs. The infant has been taken to medical facilities in the
    local cluster, where he is breathing gases in a ratio similar to the
    atmosphere of his home planet: 65% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 15%
    krypton.”

    Combine that with the new Pokemon games that let you "walk" your Pokemon and it would be the greatest fucking thing to come from Nintendo since... they let you "walk" your Pokemon.

    I'd do it if it didn't break with the anonymity of 4chan.

    And if it didn't fucking tell people who already think I'm super lame that I also go to 4chan.

    Well, you have to be a king of fighters fan I guess.

    Basically dude on the right is someone most people want back into the series because he's badass.

    There's also next to no chance that he'll make it back into the series outside of dream matches.
