Google's got the Pokemon Master challenge.

RFGeneration's got... various tomfoolery about intentionally slowing their site, pulling their Android app and developing only for Palm.

I for one am kinda interested to know what Blizz did for WoW (I quit for good a while back), anyone know?

Not sure if there are any League of Legends fans here but Riot did this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=misAyNLuoQg
It was quite a lot of fun.

Another for Google - something called 'auto-awesome' that adds David Hasslehoff to your pictures.

Here's their official blog about it - http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/introducing-auto-awesome-photobombs.html

Negative sir, Auto Awesome is a real thing.  My phone's been doing it for a while now, like if I take a picture at night it'll add twinkling lights, or when I took a picture of my front lawn covered in snow, it added falling snow (both animated)

And this is why Google is an amazing company  ;D

I thought the Hasslehoff option was the joke! Man, I'm not sure how to feel about it being serious... :P

Whoops, I missed the Hasslehoff part of your post.  Yeah that part's a joke (the whole photobomb part of it), but Auto Awesome is a real thing :D
