The fact that you couldn't keep track of which Fallout Van Buren was suppose to be more or less gave it away. I've never read a press release that wasn't perfect and straight forward in its grammer.

I came in my pants when i first read the news, then i cried a little when i realised it was fake, then i came again, then i cried, and so on for at least 10 minutes.

Thanks Exitium, you raised my hopes, then you smashed them, and to top it all of you made me realise that im too attached to games and am in need of help/ a life/ hot sweaty man love.

All i can say is that i hope bethesda reveal that they are using their topic based dialogue system in fallout 3, only then will you know my pain.

Damn good joke by the way. :lol:

Wow, you people are so gullible. Ever heard about logic? No wonder many of you still believe that FO3 could be isometric.

Even Odin and the NMA guys fell for it. They even posted it up as news, so don't feel bad! :D
Someone WOULD feel bad if I could get my hands on him... ;) Even though I was aware of what day it is today, this post made my heart skip a beat. Well done! Not the only mean joke today though.

Fuck, I almost decided to trust this post as real news and almost started spreading the good news to my remaining friends without restraining orders when I suddenly remembered it was April 1st, the only fucking day on the entire fucking year I hate.

Good one, lads. It was all cruel good fun. :)

Behind you.
I fell for it, mainly because I saw an email from Pete Hines in my mailbox while it was being discussed on IRC. Then I read the email and it was about them looking for a level designer.

HAHA, Good One!
For a minute I believed it true. Then a blinding halo
numbed my mind as reality hit and I remembered the date. I got pissed off. "Isn't anything sacred anymore?"

Right about then I started laughin'. :heh:
Cruel but classic. :lol:
