It's the end of the week, and you know what that means! Not only do we get to ramp up to enjoy a weekend full of gaming, but it's also time for the latest edition of The MMO Report. This week Casey takes a moment to look at World of Warcraft's April Fools' Day prank and tackles the discussion of DPS players paying tanks to tag along so they can get into instance groups faster. On a more somber note, Casey notes the layoffs at Sony Online Entertainment, which resulted in the shuttering of three studios and cancellation of The Agency; he also mentions Square-Enix's games coming back online after the recent tsunami in Japan. Also noted is the upcoming Mortal Online: Dawn expansion, which should offer even more gritty, naked PvP fun for all.
From there, it's all silliness in Uncle Casey's Mailbag -- complete with some RIFT vs. WoW snaps, yet another edition of strange Schreiner shoops, and more silliness. We're also treated to a quick aside that reveals Casey has awesome taste in music -- much like our own. As always, you can check out this week's episode of The MMO Report tucked behind the break for your sanitary protection or over on the G4TV site every Thursday.

He thought Crabby was the best-implemented height of this year's April Fool's stuff? Seriously? Yeah, it was pretty good. But ArenaNet got seriously shafted there. The Commando class reveal (complete with truly awesome skill videos) was every bit as good as Crabby. But then actually putting a special event in-game took it to a whole new level.
Sorry, Casey -- I think you need to spend a little less time groping your bag.

"Surprisingly Commando-free edition"
Aptly put. GW2 tends to get down played a lot, I've noticed. I wonder why that happens.
