Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Wednesday, April 1st, April Fool's Day, 2026. I'm your host, Blessing, Addy Oye Jr. Joining me is the legend, Greg Miller. My last day at work. Oh, no. April Fool's! Oh, damn.
What are critics saying about the Super Mario Galaxy movie?
I got you, Bless. I was like, damn, is this a spring break starting early? Yeah, yeah. Unexpectedly, on Thursday, I'm leaving. Yeah, damn. How are you doing, Greg? I'm good. How are you? Doing well. Did you get got yet by any April Fool's?
No, I don't think so. Because usually you start reading the headline. You're like, this is stupid. This is April Fool's. You know what I mean? I don't know. Do you care about it?
Do you find any enjoyment? I think since starting this job, no, because my job is to compile news. And so when I'm compiling news on April Fool's Day, it actually makes my job harder. One of the ones that did get me as I was putting together KHG was IGN's April Fool thing. Oh, I haven't seen it. What is it? It's pretty good, actually. Because honestly, it's one of those ones that actually tricks you. It's not like... you know the live action zelda thing where it's like if you know playstation announces project playmo yes next gen dual sense this one you know playstation's got a lot of bad ideas so that does make sense yeah and like i think this is like loosely based off of patents that had yeah and so as i'm reading it i'm like oh shit it's happening and then i get halfway through and i was like no this this can't be real and then i remembered no i can't do it they definitely got me on this one
Yeah, I don't know. I feel it's hard to tell sometimes. Is it just because of April Fools in general? Is it just not even a young person? Am I jaded by just wanting to do my job and the world being as bad as it is that I don't need bad April Fools Day jokes?
I think what it was was that... companies caught on to the fact that they could do April Fool's jokes. And with the internet and social media and all that stuff, more and more companies jumped in. And it's like, it's like when you have a meme, that's funny the first day. And then by day three, you start to see company accounts jumping in on the meme. And it's like, okay, well now it's not funny anymore.
yeah it's that thing right where like and i don't i i can't i worked there many years after i i worked there for many years after and participated in the april fools but i also just feel like it peaked with the zelda trailer at ign when they did the live action zelda trailer and everybody thought it was real and it was like a huge deal and then ign always chased that high even when i was there and even that was like a little bit like all right what do we you know what i mean like Yeah, this is cool. Yeah, Optimus Prime and Titanfall. Okay, yeah. Yeah, 100%.
I will say, like, the Playmo thing, I think this year's iGens joke is good, but it's just that I'm tired. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I blame the holiday more, the quote-unquote holiday, more than I blame the lack of effort from iGens.
Oh, yeah, yeah, this isn't us.
Although, like, here's the thing, right? Did they do other live action trailers for IGN?
Yes. We followed up. When I was there, and I say we, like I had anything to do with it, I didn't. But Nick was the director on the Halo Bollywood shoot where they did a Halo live action. They did the whole thing with Halo Bollywood. That was one of them. That was live action. I think that might have been. The only other live action one that jumps to my mind. But Chad can be honest on that. I forget if I'm wrong about that.
