5. Another self-lampooning crew that totally hit up our charts was the guys over at Gaygamer.net, who went straight after they "took a retreat to one of those Christian camps that help you give up your gayness." That's just too rich. Not only did they spend the day being the manliest, most testosterone-filled, beer-guzzling men they could be, they even had the entire page renamed. To what? Straightgamer.net.

4. Recently we've seen a lot more games turning into movies, most of which turn out like utter crap, but it's a push forward for the industry anyways. There are some franchises we just do not expect to see on the big screen for obvious reasons. Those that do make it typically fall under this category, which is probably why they're so bad.

Legend of Zelda falls under this category. A kid/teenager gets sent back in time, wearing a green "jumpsuit" and going through mythical lands fighting old, mean men? As a game, sure, but children dressed queerly shouldn't be the ones out fighting pedophiles.

That's why Link doesn't say a word. The trailer is so well done, if played in a movie theater we bet no one would think it fake. We still don't want to see it hit the big screen, but IGN just proves how to do April Fools right without making us all cry.

3. Using a similar idea to the guys at Gaygamer.net, the Destructoid team decided that they have no faults to make fun of, no inadequacies to pick at. They probably don't, those lucky bastards. So they needed someone else to pick on. Who better than the TV network that brought us all the information we needed to know on the sex-fest that is Mass Effect.

Enter Foxtoid.

What really made Foxtoid so great wasn't that they simply changed the name, but that they followed through. The entire day was devoted to fake news articles that were outrageously funny. Whether it was GTA IV being blamed for the death of Archduke Ferdinand and the start of WW1, Carment Sandiego being found and arrested for widespread prostitution or Geoff Keighly's copy of Mass Effect being arrested for the alleged rape of a teenager, Destructoid pulled no punches and made our sides hurt until our innards splattered around our feet.

2. Blizzard doesn't reveal news to anyone until they say so. They don't have leaks, they don't have dates. "When it's done" is a plaque on every employee's cubicle. So when news comes out from them, we know it's big. And if they have news, it's almost always heard worldwide and repeated several times over in South Korea, so we know it's legit.

Thankfully, Joystiq has a good set of links for everything they did, so spend an hour or two looking at it all.

1. Believe it or not, the best has yet to come. In fact, the best was disturbing on so many different levels.

Super PiiPii for the Wii will make all men everywhere shudder. Women, laugh away, but that cold shiver down your spine is there. Using the Wii remote to pee on such things as floors, toilet seats, animals hiding in toilets and people isn't weird. Watching the woman in the video use it, however, is.

To not make any of the GWN staff look ridiculous by trying to say something about it, we'll just let the video do the talking. Just don't think too hard what the Wii remote strapped to the helmet is for at the end of the video.
