April Fool's is upon us

- Reader Tim let us know that Baron Soosdon has quit his job at Machinima.com and stopped making machinima in general. He's said goodbye with (what else?) a Linkin Park video.
- WoWWiki has apparently switched places with the Guild Wars wiki, and vice versa. Make sure to check out their news section, where they mix up Guild Wars news with WoW news. Have you heard about the CM leaving, or the upcoming sequel?
- Wowhead's site, as you can see above, looks strangely familiar (thanks to everyone who sent this in).

Nihilum also quit , which could be another april's fool joke.
Sadly, it could be the real deal also :(

Never mind those of us who have been suffering through April Fools jokes for the past 17 hours or so ...

Nihilum claims to have quit WoW, saying Blizzard has forsaken them and hardcore raiding.

I seem to recall WowInsider doing some amazingly stupid things in years past.....
wyrd Apr 1st 2008 12:53PM
I assume by that you mean, wowinsider made some people like you feel stupid?
Krianna Apr 1st 2008 1:01PM
No, Wyrd, I'm referring to an information-based business making the stupid choice to devalue the trust they've built up.
Imagine if Blizz altered WoW so that it either mimicked a BSOD or kept bringing up a "YOUR FILES ARE CORRUPTED; REPAIR WOW.EXE."
Then yelled "APRIL FOOL."
There are some things that are simply not suited to being an April fool's joke; anything that strikes at the heart of your business is among them. It's simply a *stupid* business decision.

That Starcraft one makes me sad because I want it to be true so much.
White Rabbit Apr 1st 2008 11:01AM
Believe everything WoWInsider says ay? What about the April Fools tabard that you guys posted a few days BEFORE April Fools?
At least you all didn't seriously mess up this year like you did. Completely ruined the fun of the "holiday"
