I'll bite. Every April Fool's Day we have a thread meant to capture all the pranks and jokes that filter down through the industry. Some of them are hysterical, some masturbatory, and some are just cruel. But it's all worth seeing and sharing. And sometimes it helps people realize their excitement was over a joke. Feel free to point and laugh!
So that said, when things show up post them here! I'll do my best to keep up with a list of all things happening, so check for repeats. I'll do an update once an hour.
Edit - I decided you have to say more than just link drop. Describe your sharing and comment on it.
Edit Edit - STAHP IT
Edit Edit Edit - Now that I have a format you can see what I expect when you share things. It's just an appreciation I'll have, makes things easier for me.

-Website regularly trawls various Steam databases for previously unannounced games, dlc, ports and etc.
-Website has put up an entry for "Half-Life 4," though whether or not it's a fake entry on the website, or a fake entry in the Steam registry, I do not know.
-This has added humor of the fact that everyone is waiting for Half-Life 2: Episode 3 or just Half-Life 3, coupled with the meme of Valve being unable to make a game with a 3 in it. (Half-Life 2, Episode 2, Portal 2, Team Fortress 2, DOTA 2, Left 4 Dead 2.. 2 is the highest they get)
That is a truly dick move on Valve's part.

Sigh...
They use the Komet flight model, so any 'normal' planes in the air are dead meat while this is going on.

Might be a fake entry done by the data trawling website rather than something Valve put into the system.
True. Still, well played. I love that it's "Linux-only."

They also made some pretty funny posts about it on the website.

Well, at least it's a device that I wouldn't expect to be fully functional when it's offline.
Oh laaaaaaaaaaaaame.
Updates won't come every hour afterall because things are kinda slow. But it's still morning.
That's the joke.
EDIT: Also, the Half-Life 4 page still has mentions of HL4 in the directory and icon sections, so it's not completely removed. I suspect it'll keep updating throughout the day.
... Hang on a sec, let me get this rag out of my pocket.
But for now, I’m split in shambles
So put up your FISTS! I’m rearing for fights
On hit! Big crits! P.S. that webcomic bites

so far this year has been super tame, wondering when it will pick up
I love it when a website goes into 90s Web Design mode on april fools.
Fixing these problems like Sisyphus’ boulder
You think that’ll break me? You ain’t slick
I’m made of IRON you son of a bitch
Which forumer am I?
