Mojo rests on old April Fools laurels, continues to flaunt "Monkey Island 5 is Totally Real" MP3's 01 Apr, 2005 / Comments: 8

In a predictable announcement, the staff of LucasArts news site The International House of Mojo have revealed that, once again, they have no wily april fools joke up their sleeve with which to entertain their readers.

"Sorry about that, we blow," said the entire staff. "But wasn't it awesome that one time like four years ago when we actually tried?"

The staff is of course referring to that one good April Fools joke from 2002 they can't stop talking about, when they fooled like one guy (Murray Mint) and possibly confused a Dutchman. "Those were good times," the staff reminisced, "Everybody loved that joke so much that we think it's probably worth wheeling out every single year."

"I think Jake is maybe under the impression that the Monkey 5 thing is a tad funnier than it really is," conceeded Metallus, webmaster of Tim Fandango, or was it Razputin.net, or was it Idle Thumbs? "Because let's be honest here, nothing can top 'The International House of Xbox.' LOL."

"You guys need to shut up because I hate you," said Gabez, maybe. "Also games need to evolve or die," he added for no reason.

    I would?ve guessed the April Fools joke would be some sort of Sam and Max 2 un-cancellation thing or that Tim Schafer?s head explodes and reveals a?smaller head.

    Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, I can?t wait to play the newest Star Wars GBA micro-game extravaganza, ?WattoWare - Tatooine Twitch?. Any game that lets you catapult Ewoks at AT-ATs is a winner in my book.

    I'd like to say I wasn't fooled (Especially since Serge told me about the plan beforehand)
