Because half of our audience is not North American. 

I just would of thought you'd upload it maybe midnight your time so then it would still be April first in a lot of places. But I do get it, if you waited then it they would not get a April fools day joke and since it was before April fools in the us we would still get it because the day would not of passed.

Hah! I have to admit I started falling out of my chair laughing when I heard that nvidia bought LMG... why not ASUS??? Make everything Red instead!

 

Side note: I'm pranking my boss by giving him strawberries with a side of whipped cream... but the whipped cream is actually - shaving cream!!! <insert evil laugh here>

Wait what's the MSI one? The Razer one made me smile, but I can't find anything on MSI's home page

 

 

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

But linus is not on the other side of the date line. It is 3/31/16 at 6:13PM at LTT

 

That MM/DD/YY format caught me off guard. How can you live with something like that?

@LinusTech

could you please not repeat this next year, pleeaase? I wasn't fooled.

last year @WCCFtechTv (remember the 990 Ti -the 2015 april joke-, which is the FIRST year I got into the pc world) fooled the shit out of me, I ended up embarrassing myself :S. But this year no one , and I mean every human being in existence (including linus) will not be able to fool me.

I understand that. However, not everyone know April fools day in this planet, and sometimes it might leads to people embarrassing themselves.

well that is the point. to try to make something that is believable to fool people. its for the people who dont know/forget it is the first so that they will belive it and then you laugh at them xD

I know, and the video is actually funny. but maybe there should be a disclaimer in the description or at the end of the video

If you want to know why I'm very frustrated, I really really embarrassed myself .

it's all in the fun of it, and well you can tell its fake by how he tapes over his sign with paper that says Nvidia and stuff like that. if it was real it would be a lot more professional. and again it's all in the fun of it, eveyone falls for at least one april's fools prank. and if you did look in the dispersion if his video for this year you will see that when you click that website like it redirects to apple so that tells you it's fake too.
