    Aaaahhh, that Archivist dialogue tree has so many references. Even the Deckard Cain rap!

    I don't care how you feel about WoW. Blizzard is the king of April Fool's, ever year.

    I love the Penny Arcade shoutout in the dance rewards vendor's inventory, The Silvermoon City Hotsteppers!

    @Courteous_Gentleman: and is.. is that a Valve reference with "The Orange" Cardboard Box? (i don't play WoW, so i might be missing something entirely.)

    Whoa! That Terra-Tron is epic! I would want to see something like that in a game! =D


    Hats off to Blizzard! Nice job.


    Now if this was Activision. We'd be hearing about new DLC coming out for Guitar Hero or maybe a new COD weapon which we can buy for "only" 8000 MS points or something.


    Which will get us thinking if it's real or if it's a prank...

    @excaliburps: I know it sucks doesn't. Now I will be extremely pissed if they don't have them and the Tauren guys from last year hidden in the game. Really those two things look cooler then anything else in SC2

    @Lincolnsbeard33: Knowing how Blizzard does its games, I'd expect it to be there later on. I mean their games are a modders paradise no?


    @KirbyMorph: Yep! It would be funny how it would be implemented in a typical SC game I admit...Zerg vs the Giant Terra-Tron mecha!

    I kind of wish they'd work on finishing their games sooner rather than making elaborate April Fool's Day jokes.

    @bimmylee: I thought I was making a light hearted jab at Blizzard's famously long (but always worth it) development times. I forgot that the internet is serious business.

    Hats off to Bliz. They always somehow manage to pull off the best April Fools stuff every year.


    Almost like they've been working on it for weeks...


    GET BACK TO WORK ON DIABLO III YOU KNUCKLEHEADS.

    @Komrade Kayce: For a Prinny-Free Kotaku.: I kind of disagree - in my humble opinion, the best April Fools jokes are the heart-wrenching ones that nobody realizes are jokes until a few days later and causes huge strife all across the internets.

    @wild_world_girl: Really? Those jokes always just seem mean to me. It's like, there appear to be two kinds of people who like April Fools Day- those who use it as a reason to joke around and be silly, and those who use it as an excuse to be assholes. No offense to yourself, but when people do that kind of stuff, it just seems really mean-spirited and unnecessary to me.


    That said... Pimp My Mount was worth a smile, and the Archivist and Terra-Tron I enjoyed, but the Dance Battle really needs to actually be in the game in some shape or form. That is really, genuinely awesome.
