I'd like to apologize for being completely insensitive this April Fools day. Thankfully, it comes but once a year. This project involved the work of Shaper, Don Marco, Toups, and Myself. Everyone should take a bow. They should also visit http://winners.dontpressstart.com/ for the real TGQ front page.

Oh, fuck. I just got down doing the dishes after having a totally rad conversation with Shaper and I logged on and saw THIS!!.

I like it! Especially the Toups timrogers cropped photo.

Well, I usually come straight to the forums, so I didn't see a difference.

I'd like to state for the record that this is a bad idea. Our latest issue came out later than hoped, and the biggest press didn't come until after GDC. I think it's still too soon to be confusing possible new readers, especially with a front-page gag that references a site that is less well known than TGQ.

I should totally write an article called "Make Love, Not Warriors" for real. It could be about that Warriors videogame that came out a while ago!

It couldn't have come out better.

A really good April Fools joke would have been making me Mod of every forum and admin. But that would have been scary for some people ... maybe best left for Halloween? Razz
