Crabby is one example.

Next time make it clear that this is a post by you and not Blizzard. I could care less if Blizzard makes an April Fools joke, but I want to know they made it or if you made it. If you made it, then I don't want it in my RSS feed.

[Molster]

that kills the point. Plus it would still end up in your rss feed. Just keep in mind we will always do one. (unless we don't)

[OneTwoSC]

Haha I love how Jay sort of stuttered when he said Battle.net 2.0.

[Puttah]

I feel embarrassed for Vorvonox's post... Keep up the good work!

[Kael13]

Jay's looking thinner. Good for him!

[ScyberDragon]

I would love to actually play D3 on the wii  swing away.

too bad the knife was a joke too :/

[Crilljin]

But wait a minute, if Noone recorded the art panel, can't someone just ask him for the recording? I know he's a trustworthy guy, I hear people mention him doing great things all over.

It's not like it reveals that it's fake. Yeah it would be in my RSS feed, but the opening statement would immediately tell me to stop reading (something like we found secret info on blizzard's plans or something).

The April Fool's jokes were good this year. Still, kind of hard to beat Mr. Crabby. <3
