Gadget Week 2 ft. The Nostalgia Critic

Gadget Week 2 ft. The Nostalgia CriticSiIva Direct 12.19.2024 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 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 channel description was changed to:Oh, Minecrap! I cannot wait to play Minecrap. Do you know what my favorite thing to do is in Minecrap? I love building bricks with Minecrap. Building bricks with Minecrap is the best thing and the most amount of fun you can have while playing an app. I understand why all the kids are playing this game these days -- it's because they like to build brown bricks with Minecrap. I also like to build brown bricks with Minecrap. It's the most fun you can possibly have. What is the point of Minecrap?

Banner artwork is from the game "Minecrap".
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 ".".
