Tax Day was "celebrated" on the SiIvaGunner channel with a channel event.
Summary
To "celebrate" the income tax return deadline in the United States (colloquially known as Tax Day).
The profile picture was changed to a logo designed to mimic the logo of the Internal Revenue Service (abbreviated IRS), the government agency tasked with auditing citizens of the United States.
The SiIvaGunner Twitter account retweeted a report by CNN on the IRS extending the tax return deadline,[1] and quote retweeted with the comment "Phew! What a relief."[2]
The event was extended into April 18 following the IRS extending the deadline by a day.
Rips uploaded
All rips uploaded on this day were games and/or featured jokes related to money or taxes. Some fake games centered around taxes, such as Kirby Does His Taxes and Yoshi Commits Tax Fraud, appear as well.
Most of the rips uploaded during this event were subsequently released in the album Video Game Music to Do Your Taxes To, announced with the video "An announcement from the IRS".
