    I've been bitching about it's fake-ness all day, I hope it goes the way of last year's Tauntaun sleeping bag and gets the interest (See : E-mails all confirming 49.99 a piece ) of Think Geek and ABC and then gets made. I need it. My room is already covered in Lost merchandise, but this would be the crowning jewel.

    So there was stuff about Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Capcom vs. SNK 3, and perhaps others, right?

    Damnit, I just LOVE knowing my last post is going to get ignored now. Check the spoiler below if you want to see it. Otherwise, there's a TL;DR.

    What is everyone's problem with this?

    TL;DR: Anyone wanting any of the "vs. Capcom" games that were April Fool'd for everyone needs to realize we just got a new "vs. Capcom" two months ago called "Tatsunoko vs. Capcom" and it is awesome and should be played by more people. That includes you.

    To which I would reply with a 2P controller toss and a "Then don't use anyone you don't know. It's still a brand new "vs. Capcom", so at least give it a try."

    Or I could bend the truth a little while on the character select screen.

    "See that guy? (Ken the Eagle) He's like a Power Ranger. This guy (Karas), think of him like he's "The Crow" but with a sword. That thing (Tekkaman Blade), Gundam. She (Doronjo) is a lot like Jesse from Team Rocket in Pokemon. This giant guy? (Gold Lightan), Megatron!"

    Seriously, people are letting the word "Tatsunoko" get in their way of trying this out?

    After getting roflstomped by the top ranked online players, of course. Seriously those guys had three thousand wins less than a month after the game was out.

    XKCD is using some kind of unix-but-not-really-unix file system for navigation on the front page. I'm sure there's easter eggs a-plenty in there but as it is I suck and can't even remember how to open a text file in unix :(

    *edit* Found one, if you type "Make me a sandwich" it returns "What? Make it yourself". If you type "Sudo make me a sandwich" it returns "Ok". I imagine then all of the easter eggs are going to be based on previous comics.

    *edit2* You can go south and be eaten by a grue.

    It has a directory structure.. which you can delete:

    xkcd.png

    (if you're not familiar with unix, what's happening at the bottom is that I have deleted every file on the disk, and the command 'ls' no longer exists)

    The site stays in this broken state until you do a reload.

    vi; You should really use emacs

    emacs; You should really use vim

    echo outputs echo ... echo ... echo ...
    pwd; You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike.
    more; Oh, yes! More! More!
    sudo fuck; sudo: fuck: command not found.
    The up arrow retypes the last command; very useful for navigating west.

    wget or curl can access previous comics in the standard xkcd layout. This also allows you to have a console in a console


    One I haven't seen mentioned, "go down": "On our first date?".

    Found while trying out "go south". Honest. >.>

    I like most of the Tatsunoko characters in there, but...maybe they should have released it on the other platforms? SF4 isn't for Wii, Tekken 6, most of the good DBZ, Naruto, etc. games...

    I'd also accept a new VS game on the DS. Draglade and the Bleach games are pretty awesome.

    Any word from valve? Or glados on the ARG bbs?

    Valve has only done two April fool's that I can remember. One way back about Counter-Strike, and one last year about Jarate.

    They may have not done one this year.

    Yes, but as far as I know everyone's still watching them from the whole Portal 2 announcement, as we all wait for Ep. 3. Now would be a great time to do something.

    I was half expecting them to put HL2 Ep3 up on Steam with it set to unlock in 1 hour, then never unlock.
