I'm unfamiliar with Reddit, do they have a problem with GAF in particular?

Not reddit as a whole, just mainly the Xbox One subreddit. It doesn't a genius to see that a majority of GAF users favor Sony. Coupled with the rise of fake "insiders" and that doesn't paint a pretty picture of GAF.

The majority of the world favors Sony right now compared to the other platforms.

Easily the best one yet, the amount of references here are just off the chart.

The swedish retailer Webhallen (who are huge among gamers) just added the following Xbox One bundle to their system:

They also added entries for a HL3 "Chapter 1 DLC" and a "Half Life 3 Season Pass 1" for the swedish equivalent of 100$. I thought it was pretty funny.

@FrostbiteEngine
Frostbite now runs on the #WiiU since it is the most powerful Gen4 platform, our renderer is now optimized for Mario and Zelda.

Is this an official twitter account? If so, yeah that's kind of pushing it.

So? The majority of the world favors Beats Headphones, but that doesn't make them the best headphones on the market. Not trying to say the PS4 is bad or anything, but sales doesn't make anyone's opinion less valid.

That's not what I'm saying. I thought you implied that NeoGAF's supposed platform preference painted a bad picture on the forum when you said "that doesn't paint a pretty picture of GAF", even though that's the preference the majority has anyways.

Nah, nothing's wrong with thinking one console's better than the other. My point before was that seething fanboys, who disdained the Xbox One in often irrational matters, represented the community.

Looks like someone's gonna get chewed out lol.
 
I love this day every year. Some people get bent out of shape by it but I just don't get it. We get some jokes (some good, some bad) and even some new games, modes or other things of the like. I thought the Frostbite jokes were funny.
 
Looks like there's another april's fool around, Thief 4 involved: if you try to get out of the Clocktower into the Stonemarket Garrett finds himself inside the tower again, in an endless loop. The only workaround consists in changing the system date. Not funny at all.
 
Micomsoft (makers of the godly XRGB line of upscalers) has announced a new 3DS peripheral for the impending 3D Outrun. Say hello to the XE-1Run:

Wow, great work! But now I'm depressed. I like the Paper Mario series, but if we were forced to make a decision between that and a true sequel to SMRPG: LOTSS, I would hope people would choose the latter. Can't Nintendo just do this on their own? I used to love Nintendo much more than I ever hated it, but more recently its reaching a state of equilibrium.

Reminiscing the greatness of mid-90's Squaresoft only leads to depression, my friend. At least its on the eShop, I guess.
 
Wow, April Fools is great this year haha.

But those Wii U tweets...that's a low blow man. I like how r/Playstation celebrated Nintendo rather than bashing them.
