Title: Happy April Fools Day!
Post by: Elessar Telrunya on April 01, 2010, 12:56:37 PM
Watch your backs!  Below is Arenanet's idea of an April Fools prank - Enelya was tiny to begin with!

Edit: a reference to show just how tiny Enelya has been made next to another player.

Ah very nice.  I have to give kudos to Sony for winning the anti-April fool's day award.  They decided to release an update for the PS3 today which disabled the ability to use the OtherOS feature.  This used to allow you to install and run Linux on the PS3.  An advertised feature mind you.

Anyway.  Way to go Sony.

Perhaps. Or perhaps you're in a different timezone and were off by an hour or two? *shrug*
