Edmonton, Alberta-

We are proud to inform everyone that we are announcing the development of our latest game in the Baldur's Gate series. Baldur's Gate: Tetris Edition is a thrilling remake of the classic Tetris game. We invite you to master the challenge of falling Sarevoks, Melissans, and several others in fun Tetris forms as you attempt to piece them together. As a bonus, we've decided to include a new and exciting Winthrop piece that fills a very large area of your choosing.

We are also please to announce that we are adding a new member to our staff. We'd like to announce our new Custodial Engineer, Fable. Fable has experience working with people and may be familiar to our customers as a low-level moderator of a rather classy forum. As a welcoming gift, we've prepared a Broom +4 to aid Fable. Please help us welcome him to the Bioware family.

Thank you.

This low level moderator is sweeping this thread into high-class SYM, where amusing April's Fool pranks belong.

What's the point of an April Fool's joke if it's obviously an april fool's joke. There's no fun in it if you can't get peoples hopes up with something magnificent and then crush them to oblivion a few hours later by saying those two magic words. April Fools!!!

Yeah, but it's really not April Fools. That hits on September 21st. Which is the real joke of it, see?

And now that you know, we'll have to kill you.

Dunno about that - if it is a well crafted story it can be quite fun - like the Blizzard one in the news forum. That's a fun one

I don't know no nothing! :speech:

Don't hurt me please.

@Xan: You mean to say it aint true?

Shucks. April Fool's no fun.

I managed to fool maybe five of my friends on Live Journal that I was leaving for America, to live with a friend of mine over there. One of them saw it before I put an LJ-cut in there saying it was an April's fool joke, and seemed upset about it. And I thought it was obviously a joke! Needless to say, more silliness is in order for next years story/prank
