Patrick R Posted April 1, 2016 Every year my former podcast does a weird episode for April Fools Day. This year we did a radio drama that's a parody of Aaron Sorkin tv shows (like The West Wing, The Newsroom, Sports Night) called "The Podcast". I'm pretty proud of it: http://www.directorsclubpodcast.com/blog/aaronsorkinpodcast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WickedCestus Posted April 1, 2016 Google Japan did one I thought was actually funny. The most popular way of typing Japanese on a phone is a system with twelve squares, and tapping one and flicking it in any direction will give you a different character (it's very efficient for Japanese). So, Google announced a mechanical version of this style of keyboard for use with your PC, etc. And here it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vainamoinen Posted April 1, 2016 ocremix released a "Final Fantasy V" album that's essentially just gurgling and bubbling noises. They did use their newsletter mailing function to promote this, so I promptly cancelled the newsletter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fingus Posted April 7, 2016 That google Japan one is brilliant. I'm super impressed that the went all the way and actually built it, instead of just doing a 3D render. And since I almost missed it. The video accompanying it is fantastic: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
