OMG GAMES.
I'm a student in Manchester over here in the always sunny UK. I can juggle, like cats and can't say the alphabet backwards very fast.
The Podcastle is sexy, listen to it.
Games have become a backward-looking medium. Because game designers rely on the language of cinema, they have not sufficiently developed a new form of storytelling based on the language of video games. - Daniel Radosh 28/09/07

So, over here in the UK it's currently April 1st. As I write this it is not April 1st in America. This grants me a few hours where the performance of an April 1st joke will be much, much harder to notice. Thus began my prank. [02:24] <+wardrox> oh shit [02:24] <+wardrox> Jim had to goto hospital [02:24] <+wardrox> I'm talking to his g/f [02:25] <+wardrox> apparently his illness came back I was expecting people to instantly twig this was a ruse, but, to my shock, the following people went with it: Evil_Cheese Panglos Aerox Wedge Riser cannedpeaches – though he was in on it by this point Necros Vexed_Alex CTZ I let the conversation lie for abit whilst I decided on my next move. My thought train was interrupted however by CTZ. For a second I considered really rolling with it, but decided not to and confessed all to CTZ. He wasn't best pleased. Capital letters were used. By this time a few more people had become aware of Jim's situation: Sharpless coonskin05 ConradZimmerman I was getting a little concerned at this point. People were giving no hint that they were questioning my story of Jim. After talking to Jim (who previously thought my plan was “brilliant”) he told me: Jim Sterling: You are gonna be the biggest asshole in all of Dtoid when you are finished Which was a valid point, and so, without much more delay, and without actually declaring Jim dead: [03:19] <+wardrox> ok, guys [03:19] <+wardrox> about Jim [03:19] <Madninja> Yes [03:19] <Madninja> Yes ... [03:20] <%coonskin05> hurry up Ward [03:20] <+wardrox> you know how 2moro is the 1st? [03:21] <+wardrox> and the UK is 5 hours ahead? ... [03:21] <%coonskin05> -_- [03:21] <+wardrox> Jim Sterling says (03:18): [03:21] <+wardrox> You are gonna be the biggest asshole in all of Dtoid when you are finished [03:21] <@Necros> ...? ... [03:22] * Sterling (Sterling@3EF2A256.CA3B171A.50E679C1.IP) has joined #destructoid And with that, the jig was up, my lamb was cooked and the yoke had run. I could have killed Sterling, but I would probably have been banned. Be warned fellow dtoiders, April 1st can catch many people out, including the pranksters. Also, April 1st cocks.

Asshole...
I genuinely didn't mean it to get out of IRC, I assumed somebody would realize it was an April fools joke. I stopped it because I could see it going waaay too far, and quickly.
:(
dammit >.<
Was about to break it as soon as it turned into Apr. 1st in the East Coast of the United States. Things had to be set up, though.
You have balls dude, you should have rolled with it but I guess it's better you didn't :).
