And with that, the Tribunal of ADHD brings forth its fully legal new episode unto the world. While we did not have a hand in any merry pranking this April 1st, we sure do like to recap the successful ones other have perpetrated. With that, here's a rundown of the best.
04-01-2009 got off on a weird foot for the 2-3 people still following Bob's Game, as an actual gameplay demo of the first, excruciatingly fourth wall breaking minutes was leaked.
