Have you ever been the victim of an April Fools Day prank?
If so, what was the worst?
I got tricked by one of Cary's jokes a couple years ago, I think he said he was going to work at a Namco museum or something and I totally fell for it.
A couple of times with EGM, first with them saying Sonic and Tails were unlockable in Melee, then saying there was a more realistic version of Wind Waker they gave you if you pre-ordered it.I forget if I also fell for Cary's Namco thing, but I think gigantor had me for a bit last year for at least part of his "here's what Nintendo is planning" blog ... only I'm not sure that counts, cause I think that may not have been posted on April 1, and I remember mothman saying he checked the date.
I got fooled by that Wind Waker thing from EGM. I even called a GameStop to ask about it and the guy had to tell me it wasn't true. Glad I didn't go to the store and ask!
I went to the store and asked ... Boo urns. 
I hate to say it, but one of the IGN trailers.. specifically the Harry Potter t.v. series, The Aurors. Since then I have basically stopped watching videos on IGN for fear of getting my hopes up.
EGM. They made a pretty convincing photo shop pic and description on how to unlock Akuma as a playable character in Resident Evil 2. I spent over 2 hours trying to make it work before I realized it was an April fools gag.
Nope. I'm usually fooled on non April Fool days.
I was actually never fooled by any April Fool's prank. I find myself looking for the latest prank on any website around this time of the year.
Nope. I'm usually the one fooling people. Best examples.

Cary's SEGA job post today. Darn you Cary, I wanted to play Streets of Craze 2 1/2.
Wow, I fooled someone? Oh well, you did figure it out shortly after, though! You weren't really fooled!
It was the marriage to a female weight lifter and the subsequent twins that made me realize it was all a joke.
