come on guys it can't be real! and even if it was there's be no way for them to enforce it. what a nightmare that would turn out to be, they'd need to spend more money and manhours enforcing such a policy than they ever put into developing the game in the first place. then you'd still have the common-man heroes like nomad of the pacific who would be our zorro and could get away with it seeing that he lives in a non-extradition country. I invite Eidos to just TRY this. in the meantime we'll just keep on keeping on

Dear Eidos,
Kindly go stick your cucumber into a meat grinder and fudge off. No offense intended.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew "Andreus" Seel, formerly Andrew "Luminous Path" Seel
P.S. Your jokes fudging suck, you stupid billiards.

There's not a chance in hell this is for real! Legally they should've not sent it out without this notice...It's too late now...bitches! eat me! :ebil:
That's like sending out free samples in the mail then later sending out a bill for it. :p
Isn't Lipsor the name of that cholestoral reducing pharmacutical drug?

Heres the way I see it. TTLG does in fact do an April Fools joke every year, meaning if this isnt it, then wheres the real one? But I was fooled at first until I realized the date.
If this isnt a joke I dont see it as a total loss. We still get T3 FMs :erg:

Come Come now...people around here are smarter than this...
Does anyone else hear the peels of laughter and backslapping coming from the closet over there?
*points to the closet in the corner with the "ADMIN's ONLY" sign hanging on it*
Although the responses to this are quite fun to read...after I got over the initial "What the #$&*&#$@! is this!" feeling... :eww:

As April Fool's jokes go, I give this a C.
There are three minimum criteria for a GOOD April Fool's prank:
1. It must be plausible enough to be believed.
2. It must be extreme enough to provoke a reaction.
3. It must not be so extreme as to seriously upset the prankee.
Thus, we get bad examples such as:
1. "Hey, Martians just landed in New York!" (implausible)
2. "Hey, the soda machine is out of Coke!" (who cares?)
3. "Hey, your dog just got hit by a car!" (over the line)
TTLG's prank this year nailed the "extreme enough" bit, but tanks on plausibility, and went over the line on the subject matter.

Momentarily, at the "OMG we're out of pimento loaf!" level. The first-person player movement in TDS is like fingernails on a blackboard for me, so I don't especially care about TDS FMs.
