| 1 | * SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The May 2019 issue has a page detailing video game-based socks that you can buy, all of which have fairly standard descriptions... and then there's "[[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Horrifying Blue Boy Socks]]". |
| 2 | -->GAH. |
| 3 | * HarsherInHindsight: The April 2016 Game Infarcer made fun of Creator/TelltaleGames for [[StrictlyFormula sticking to the formula]] in their games. This eventually became a vocal criticism of the company, and Telltale would end up dissolving just over two years later. |
| 4 | * HilariousInHindsight: |
| 5 | ** In their inaugural ''[[AprilFoolsDay Game Infarcer]]'' section in 2006, one of their editors (who claimed to have played games that hadn't come out yet) left a "spoiler" that Donald died in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII''. [[spoiler:Donald does indeed die, as does ''everyone'' in the first attempt at taking on the Demon Tide in the Keyblade Graveyard.]] |
| 6 | ** The April 2012 ''Game Infarcer'' parodies the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS's 3D being a gimmick many people try just once with a [=DataFile=] entitled "Nintendo 2DS?". In it, they say that every 3DS has a defect where the 3D slider doesn't work, so people are forced to play 3DS games in 2D (which they're fine with, as Nintendo has received no complaints about this). In August 2013, Nintendo would announce the Nintendo 2DS, a handheld in the 3DS line that's otherwise identical in hardware and performance to its predecessors save for the removal of the 3D function, so people have an officially-supported way to play 3DS games exclusively in 2D. |
| 7 | ** The April 2011 ''Game Infarcer'' had an article about the last remaining subscriber to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', whose character is named “Chocobro”. The player in question, when talking about his favorite feature, gets the game mixed up with the ''Cataclysm'' expansion for ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''. Not only would ''A Realm Reborn'', widely considered to be a massive jump in quality for the game, be similar to ''Cataclysm'' in terms of game system changes and effect on the world, but in mid-2021 ''[=WoW=]'' would see a large number of players leaving it for ''FFXIV''. “Chocobros” would also end up being a popular FanNickname for the party of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV''. |
