Even by Blizzard’s own high April Fools standards, this is an exceptionally good one: The announcement of “Battle.net's new and improved matchmaking features” which help you to find that special someone in your life “to pwn noobs with”.

Don’t miss the promo video (featuring Battle.net honcho Greg Canessa) which effectively spoofs online dating and StarCraft lingo in 1:49 hilarious minutes. Free for all will never be the same. Don’t forget to click on “find matches now” for some great one-liners: http://us.battle.net/matchmaking.html

The other StarCraft-related April Fools announcement pays homage to the classic Sierra adventure games series King’s Quest. The of Blades will be starring in “Queen’s Quest” for the iPhone, where “you'll have the power of written language at your fingertips to save the Swarm from ultimate destruction”. As if a text parser and “16-color locations” weren’t enough, Blizzard also throws in some DRM humour: “Use the special 3d lenticular glasses to decode the margin text and find the keyword passphrase”.
