You may have noticed the internet is full of more lies and deceit than it usually is today. If, somehow, you've not figured out why, we'll lend a hand:

  1. It's April 1 aka April Fools Day
  2. You've really got to stop getting wasted mid-week
  3. Seriously, get it together

Generally, we like to collate all the video game japes into one handy article that you can enjoy. However, CD Projekt Red, developer of acclaimed RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, has put together a video so good it has earned some exclusive time in the spotlight, away from the rest of that guff.

We won't explain what's involved, but the thumbnail should be a pretty good indication of what it's going for. Finally, The Witcher 3's finest character gets the attention it deserves.

Even the video's description is excellent:

"A horse is a horse is a horse, of course. Roach is the name of Geralt’s horses, each and every one in turn. Not sure why he calls ‘em all that. Lazy? Doesn’t get attached? To animals? Might be because one day he caught a roach, which is a common fresh-water fish. A big one. Decided he’d celebrate by naming his horse after it.

"We considered a bunch of options, but Doobie and Spliff seemed off-lore. Anyways, here's a special developer video that will show you Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Roach But Were Afraid to Ask."

Well done, CD Projekt Red. Well done.
