Another year, another day of gags. Normally we join in the fun (and had a few cool ideas this year) but ultimately decided not to, but that hasn’t stopped some fairly hilarious and cruel gags that we’ve seen pop up.
We’re aware that we’ve probably still got a lot more to go live when America and Europe wakes up so will continue to update.

HALO INFINITE (ISN’T) DELAYED
Aussies woke up to this cruel Tweet suggesting that Halo Infinite was delayed. A couple of outlets ran it (we can’t really blame them) but it was definitely a cruel gag. The account looked legit and has been rightfully suspended.
