Aftermath of April Fools

This year's April Fools was terrible. The best fake story this year was Blizzards multiple "announcements" (see: http://www.joystiq.com/2006/04/01/blizzard-celebrates-april-fools/). Really, there was nothing that was very good. Almost every story I saw on the gaming web sites could have been easily spoted as fakes, even if they weren't posted on April 1.

What happened to the good old days of internet pranks. To this day, people still think the rumor of Sonic in Smash Bros. Melee is true. Gamespot was one of the best pranksters, but even now have fallen off the wagon. Just look at their front page story (here: http://www.gamespot.com/features/6146818/index.html).
IGN was also great at doing April Fools. Alas, to avoid the hate mail, they just slowly withdrew from April Fools. This year, we got nothing. Where's the fun in this day anymore?

Best prank ever: Wizards of the Coast non-prank (thus pranking us by making us think it's a prank) announcement of their Unhinged set for Magic: the Gathering. It is the best set ever in Magic, and they couldn't have done a better job announcing it as well.

Also of note, Joystiq found a town with no sense of humor at all (here: http://www.joystiq.com/2006/04/02/tiny-ohio-town-freaked-out-by-mario-prank/). Seriously, they at least need to catch up on pop culture.
