Here's a tip. If you ever start going viral on the internet for something cool that you actually didn't mean to do, just roll with it. That's what Natascha Encinosa did. When the fitness enthusiast posted photos of herself (and her massively muscular legs) in a dress that looked like something a Street Fighter character would rock, gamers went crazy for her. Now she says she plans to actually dress up in Chun-Li cosplay on purpose. 

Encinosa's story was one of Gameranx's top 10 weird gaming stories of April. Among the other stories that Gameranx rounded up for the month was news that a Kickstarter campaign hopes to raise money to get the game Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill released. The game, which was originally supposed to come out back in 1993, was completed but never released due to the game company that was developing it going belly up. If the Kickstarter raises enough money, the plan is to release the game on a legit Super Nintendo cartridge. 

Other stuff making this month's list: Pokemon-themed lingerie (from Japan, of course), Steam randomly placing cash in user's accounts, Intel saying that it's not a personal computer company, a politician using campaign funds to pay for video games on more than 60 occasions, the real-life Space Pope from Eve Online, and a bunch of Second Life players building Donald Trump's empire to campaign for him within the online virtual world. Check out the full rundown of this month's weird as hell gaming news in the video above.
