I thought it was a little odd but I sent him a PM anyway to ask for 3 games (PS3 Ultimate Genesis Collection, Little Big Planet 2, Fallout 3) and if he responded, I would have given fair market value for LBP & Fallout 3 but he responded April Fool.

At my company, they sent out an email at midnight stating that President Obama was going to visit the office at 3pm to see a product demo, etc and for us to convene in the cafeteria at 4pm to get an aware. There was a link to click on to get more details. If you clicked on it, it showed a picture of the CEO with President Obama (obviously photoshopped) with April Fool on it.

I obviously didn't pm, (broke at the moment), but I admit I fell for it when I saw the topic last night.

Though I remember thinking it was odd that you didn't mention your 32x games as being available. Too bad really, I would have loved to take Web of Fire off your hands for 25 bucks. :lol:

Ok, I wouldn't be an ass that way, but still.

Love the MM pic on Noise's face.

But wow am I surprised. Noise, Sevin, and the worm fell for this? That's surprising.

I think I was the last to fall for it, but I was actually worried, I didn't want dshe to have to sell his collection, not to say I am not above profitting too :wink: I was even thinking we should have an charity auction to help him out.

Lol, I had thought of doing a prank VERY much like this one. I was at work all day so I didn't bother.

Well done, Dave.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Well then. Get ready for another installment of "Luke says shame on you".

Dave, shame on you. You worried the worm. Shame on you.
