Your April Fools’ Day 2019 Round-Up
Today is April Fools’ Day, which is an odd day on the Internet. You can’t take anything seriously, and nothing makes sense. It’s a fun occasion, though, as assorted content creators relax and show off their goofy sides – us included! Keep an eye out for our annual Game Infarcer issue to be online a little later today, as well as our chat with Game Infarcer cover artist, Zander Cannon, about how it all came together. But enough about our own stuff – here’s the stuff from other people.
