<div class="IPBDescription">Be on alert!</div>Be wary of game news today! For those that don't know, the game industry is way into April Fool's Day more than any other, and so about 60% of the news stories you will see today will be fake. Just keep this in mind when you see something like DOOM 3 dropping Linux support. :P

    Go in early and rig up some squibs that blow around the office when you shoot, so that it looks like you're firing real bullets. Then get a buddy to wear a blood bag and shoot him. Fun all around!

    Actually, was wandering ThinkGeek after checking out that EZ-Bake Oven... which is actually kinda a cool concept, except they needed to make it a heat pipe from the CPU that did the warming, instead of a light. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    In any case, found this thing.. the Nostromo <a href='http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/gaming/68a2/' target='_blank'>N52</a>, and had to double-take a few times before I realized.
