Rocket League Rage Quits
Sick of having to quit yourself? Tired of feeling the need to stay in the game despite difficulties? Know you’re better than everyone you play with, if only you could get the right team? What you need is the Rocket League Rage Quit bot. It’s available for free, right now on the official site. There is actually a download there, so this might actually work, but equally might replace all in-game instructions with the poop emoji once you’ve gone two down. The fun of April Fool’s is even when you’re told something exists, what can you really trust?
Nothing and nobody, that’s who. They’re all out to get you.

Sony develops the world’s first Ghost-catching device in an “official” press release:
“The Proton Pack™ is equipped with a state-of-the-art, miniaturized superconducting synchrotron, which accelerates injected protons from a hydrogen plasma cell. Superconducting temperatures are maintained by a liquid helium reservoir, and an active cryocooler ensures that operational time vastly exceeds that available from a cryogen dewar alone. Adaptive beam-steering technology guides the proton beam to an ergonomic wand, which doubles as a beam-halo tuning cavity to provide maximum down-range accuracy. The backpack form factor allows built-in psychokinetic grounding to the user’s spinal column, eliminating spectral noise feedback loops.”
Nyko Debuts EgoBooster1337 Controller to Neutralise Gamer Toxicity:
This newly announced and totally bogus controller has a “compliment button” so you can feel good about yourself all the time, as well as a “toxicity filter” to block any nasty chatter. A “win button” automatically rage-quits for you. “Why waste your life practising to get better someday when you could feel better today?” Nyko said in a news release.
Obviously, we’ll continue to update this post as the memes flood in. Let us know below if you think we’ve missed some.
