nice one

Kei · Apr 2, 2010

I am on my way to Germany now.......with a various assortment of torture devices so you can see how we felt yesterday.

While I had my doubts when I saw the time of your post (3/31 @ 11am), I still wasn't too sure. I was looking at the clock thinking that it's still April 1st in Japan when you made the post so I had my hopes up........you sick sick sick bastards! :slap:

A moderator should ban WIz from TPU for what he made to us. Or better Ban yourself Wiz

Good news. :roll:

TheMailMan78 · Apr 2, 2010

I think this thread is a fraud also. I exposed W1zz killing Dan in the last thread and now I know Bta was some how involved. Maybe they lured Dan into thinking there was a beer in a snake tamers basket.

fochkoph · Apr 2, 2010

Too cruel. Too cruel!

arnoo1 · Apr 2, 2010

thanks mate, that you will stay here @ amazing TPU!
I appreciate man,

personal I hate 1 april and the jokes around It, but this time I will forgive you XD

Can't wait for more awesome reviews!!

roast · Apr 2, 2010

I love you guys, your so crazy.

I'm going to go drink a few bottles of buckfast, then I'll come back and tell you how I really feel. :laugh:

Tartaros · Apr 2, 2010

I think this users are going right now to your house, w1z. Some of them were talking something about crucifying :laugh:

r9 · Apr 2, 2010

Dumb ass.

imperialreign · Apr 2, 2010

Nice joke w1z, this little prank has claimed by #2 spot for sheer epic-ness, right behind this prank: http://www.prankcallcentral.com/si/76.html from a couple of local radio jockeys.

If nothing else, at least you can now say for sure how appreciated you, your work, and this site are! :toast:

phanbuey · Apr 2, 2010

ahaha knew it knew it knew it.

Although I completely fell for the PhysX one.

cyriene · Apr 2, 2010

Glag you're staying! The forum wouldn't be the same without you all!

r9 · Apr 2, 2010

This was not funny to me. First time I have posted was some 5 yeas ago. I have registered specifically to ask if my X800GTO was unlockable. And guess what I have receive answer from wizz asking me to post a value from ATI tool specific for my card and he will look in to if my card was unlockable and it was not. But I talked to Wizz the creator of ATI tool wooow. And now he leaving was not amusing to me.

qubit · Apr 2, 2010

I knew it! Something just didn't feel right, despite the plausibility.

Now I'm so angry and I hate you so much I want you to go, muhahahaha!!!

Hey, kidding. You even nailed an old skeptical bastard like me. :wtf:

Well done. :toast:

The bar is now raised even higher for next year.

Now, about those dodgy ATI drivers...

Kreij · Apr 2, 2010

I know how you feel Q.
I figured total BS at first, but then when he posted comments over at XS I thought, "Crap he wouldn't take this off site if he wasn't serious."

I was wrong lol.

Well all is not lost. Trying to figure out what was happening and using my l33t googling skills, I now know more about W1zz than probably most around here.
I can always use that for extortion or something. :laugh:

Phxprovost · Apr 2, 2010

must say congrats on fooling the entire online tech world :toast:

though if you try this crap again get ready from a hate mob thousands deep to come find you :nutkick:

Kreij · Apr 2, 2010

I see about the same response at XS. About 98% relieved and 2% pissed off.
Made me laugh.

MK4512 · Apr 2, 2010

Well at least you're not leaving!

Successful april fools though.

how is it an april fools ? , it was posted in march :rolleyes:

overclocking101 · Apr 2, 2010

you sonofabitch! oh well, I do suppose it was well deserved, now tot hat flaming assholes, think about it before insulting a man that works so damn hard at what he does not for himself but for all of us and TPU in general. one day it may not be an april fools joke if some dont wise the fuck up! i know swearing is not allowed but I had to say it, infractions if you must.

Cold Storm · Apr 2, 2010

Great stuff W1z. I'm keeping the sig alive for a while!! :rockout:

Makaveli · Apr 2, 2010
