Be sure to check back on the main article as I'm updating it throughout the day. If you notice something in a game, screen it and post it here and I'll be sure to include it in the mega-article!
Meh - it went from being pretty awesome when players actually fell for it, now game studios are like "hey we need to come up with another thing for April fools that everyone totally expects"
speak for yourself (thou I guess you are?) im not jaded enough yet to feel that way...

I was wondering why a bunch of weaboos were hitting my apple trees with smartphones this morning. They're probably beta testers.
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!
We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open. FEAR THE OLD BLOOD.
I think the RIFT falling damage one is genuinely amusing. The rest of them just sound fairly forced.
Also... the GW2 chair thing isn't a prank. Although, it probably started out that way. They actually did all of that during their last patch(made chairs "sittable" and even added an achievement for discovering all the different types of chairs -- complete with a title).

Also, it doesn't help that every news pusher can't keep their mouths shut about it. Spamming APRIL FOOL DAY everywhere is a great way to make sure any joke or prank die instantly.

You're a little ray of sunshine, ain't ya? Lighten up. It's all in good fun and there's no putting the genie back in the bottle to circa 2010.
Bless is a little late on the April fools day action, but they posted that you can get a new line of snacks for your early access.

Perfect for both Early Access and early morning gaming, Bless-O’s are not only jam packed with fiber and 7 essential vitamins and minerals, but also have 18 grams of sugar per serving to keep you energized and focused on leveling all day long! Pantera Puffs

That War Thunder looks great. I've always loved Submarine games but it's hard to find balance between detail and fun.

I want to officially apologize for my ancient (2010) thinking and unfair criticism. It was meant as a snarky little comment for thought, not a doomsday rant

The falling damage was cool because it's a prank and not a clever joke. That reminds me more what the holiday was about growing up. Oh, how I hated it... wait, I still do.
That was the most Vanilla moment I've had in Rift Prime so far. It also reminded me how much I now abuse the no falling damage physics. It's kind of immersion breaking and super fun at the same time.
I was surprised and somewhat amused by how many people got so angry over the fall damage prank.
I found it mildy amusing... but I can understand the irritation of the people who think there are a few hundred more important things Trion should be spending development time on. (even if it's just flipping a 1 to a 0)
