Editorials   Fools A-Plenty
- By Lander Clinton

Just a fair warning- videogame websites and magazines are already readying pranks on their readers for the annual day of April Fools.

The tradition of April Fools dates back long ago, when Pagan videogame journalists changed the calendar so that the year's hottest games would come out in December, not April. Thus, anyone believing big game news in April would be considered a fool.

Such stories include new console news, Nintendo dropping out news, secret (nude) codes, and even a new ketchup genre of videogame from Shigeru Miyamoto.

The April issues of magazines come out soon! Don't believe a word of them! In fact, take everything as the opposite of what it says and you'll be fine.

"Just kidding, videogame journalists didn't start April Fools, the change in the calendar was about the date of New Years. Pagans were still celebrating the New Year in April after it moved to January, so they were called fools. Now who's laughing?"
