The April Fools' Day 2018 channel event was a week-long takeover starring Inspector Gadget as channel host... again. However, this time Gadget is not alone, and he fights an army of video game reviewers led by Nostalgia Critic.
Summary[]
During the announcement "You are filled with announcementation.", The SiIva A.I. suffers a major glitch and turns into Inspector Gadget. However, at the end of the video, the Nostalgia Critic reveals himself in opposition of Inspector Gadget and vows to takeover the channel for himself.
The avatar was changed to Inspector Gadget from "Minecraft with Gadget"; it was changed several times throughout the event, following the image sequence of the Tumblr post "minie crafta" by ryu1964, but edited to have the standard gray background used in SiIvaGunner avatars. On April 7, the avatar was changed once again to feature Inspector Gadget holding a gun over a flame background, mimicking the Nostalgia Critic's intro sequence.
The banner was changed to feature Inspector Gadget inside the Tengami lighthouse. Near the end of the event, the banner was changed to a heavily distorted version with the following:
- The cliffs and lighthouse are all warped and tinted red, with numerous extra cliffs added to each side.
- A large Inspector Gadget from the second and third images of the aforementioned Tumblr post is added behind the lighthouse.
- Behind Gadget, the sky is replaced with a red/white energy beam over a black background.
The Twitter banner was changed to an image of Mike Matei.
On April 8, the banner was reverted to an empty lighthouse, the avatar was edited to a blank avatar, and the channel description was emptied save for "(All content is willingly submitted by a team of content creators.)". The Twitter name changed to ".".
Rips uploaded[]
As with the previous Inspector Gadget Takeover, rips featuring the Inspector Gadget theme from the 1983 TV series of the same name and Mike Matei's "Minecraft with Gadget" video were uploaded.
In addition to that, rips featuring the themes of video game review channels, particularly the Nostalgia Critic and Angry Video Game Nerd, were also uploaded.
Timeline[]

| My English teacher is having us read Fredrick Douglass’ memoirs. When we got out our books, I yelled, “Oh boy! We’re going to build brown bricks in Douglasscraft!” Now, uh, normally, my teacher is okay with me being weird like that, but apparently that was too far. |
