Blizzard has a sense of humor

My earlier post says I hate April Fool's Day. Well, that's still true, but I kind of like Blizzard's silly little World of Warcraft announcements since they don't cause any panic and they're clearly just for fun.

First, the new bard class which happens to utilize a Guitar Hero interface. That one was fairly good, but I like their other announcement quite a bit more: World of Warcraft: The Molten Core for consoles. The trailer is what really sells it.

I don't know if this is a jab at consoles or what. I mean, Blizzard is not known for making graphically intense games, so I don't know why they couldn't port WoW over to consoles. (Not that I really want them to -- I tried a 10 day trial and was thoroughly unimpressed with the game. I have no idea why it is so popular.)

Now, how about working on and announcing Diablo III, Blizzard?
