CS-Nation's April Fools Joke

Posted by Rob at 11:28 1/4/2002.

CS'ers visiting CS-Nation this morning will have instead been greeted with "Wrestlin' Nation", and possibly the most hideous website colour scheme ever created. In what is almost certainly an April Fools joke by our friends across the Atlantic, the usual Counter-Strike banter has been replaced by references to The Rock and other WWF characters, along with news on CS being dead and the CSN team switching formats. C'mon guys even CS-Nation can do better than that! :)

Similarly, UK gaming service Jolt.co.uk today replaced their website frontpage with links to the service "Larrysworld", in a tongue firmly in cheek reference to their competitor service Barrysworld. (see this thread on their forums for a screenshot). If you spotted any other gaming-related April fools, let us know!
