That Sheng Long thing was stupid, but not so bad. The thing that angered me the most about it was the fact one of the clues it was a hoax was that it was submitted by someone from the state of "HA," when I lived in Hawaii and knew it was an error and should've been "HI." Back in those days, you could actually win a prize for being the first to spot the April Fool's joke.
And one year, it was just lame when the "joke" was misspelling "Streeets of Rage" on the Beavis and Butthead cover.
But this... this is just horrible! I stopped reading EGM long ago and am very glad about it. This may be boycott-worthy.
I'm still surprised people fall for EGM's April Fools gags. Hell, there are still some people out there that SWEAR Sonic and Tails can be unlocked in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Yeah, but the screenshot that accompanied the "news article" was obviously fake. What gets me is how mad people get at the publications for these April Fools gags. Personally, I think that if you're really gullible enough to fall for something like that the only person you should be mad at is yourself.
