    So, what stuff that is clearly April Fools have you seen, read or received today? So far I've had:

    - email from Sony for the Playstation flow. Get to a swimming section of your favourite game, pause it, head to your nearest swimming pool, and continue the game. Playstation goggles download game data via Bluetooth apparently......

    - email from Dominos Pizza informing me that they now have fully automated driverless delivery vehicles. The Domi-no-driver. Delivering a slice of tomorrow, today!

    Anyone else received similar stuff?

    I heard Eurogamer are releasing their own range of bottled water. It's called "Potable View".

    Now that is just vile.

    I have a physical pain in my side every time I'm reminded of portable view. A PHYSICAL PAIN.

    It would have been funnier if he had re-instated the Portable button, but it did nothing or went to a funny message or something.

    It could have been a link to a small picture of a sunset, small enough to put as a wallpaper on your phone. A lovely view that you can take with you.

    But he'd have to know how to program to do that.

    @MrTomFTW

    Oh crikey yes, very good. Totally burnt out on April Fools stuff, the Internet ruined it years ago. A non-functioning Portable View button would be XD-worthy though.

    Pre-Internet games related gags that amused me were mostly from CVG.

    The Virtual Reality Console! Actually just a blurry pic of an upturned PC Engine with blue tinted skiing type sunglasses.

    Mario Kart on the original GameBoy! Simply monochrome screenshots of SNES Mario Kart. I confess, this one completely had me at the the time.

    A rather sarcastic Guardian journo is liveblogging the whole thing. It's fairly funny.

    Every April Fool should be revealed by an impression of this:

    On Radio 4 Today Programme they ran a story that FIFA want to increase the width and height of football goals by 6 inches so that more goals will be scored.

    Which they did actually toy with the idea of 20 years ago and quickly abandoned the idea.
