It was the whole SF2 "unlock Sheng Long" one that started it all, yeah?  f*ck, I can't believe how many people fell for that one.  (including the other gaming publications around the world that fell for it and published it themselves... I wonder how they explained to their readers after they discovered it was a hoax? :lol:)

I liked how that one U.K. mag printed that trick all bragging, like "only those as super skilled as I can pull this off!". Not just reprinting the trick, but actually outright lying about having acomplished it as sign of hardcoredness.

Its one thing to print a retraction of a borrowed story that turned out to be fake. Its another to get caught redhanded lying in an article that would've drawn major attention at the time.  :P

How can anybody believe the shit in video game rags anyway?  Fool's Day or not - they're all a bunch of irrational, biased, inconsistent ass clowns. 

Only shit eating retards still make april fools jokes, they stopped being funny after the Goldeneye one in EGM like 10 years ago.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
