Indeed, it's a very well crafted video and almost entirely believable if you didn't know it was an April Fool...

Well, well, well, it's good to see that Qwa's quest finally succeeded after all these years... :wink: :lol:

That scene of the penguins flying reminds me of the Fantasia 2000 scene with the flying whales. Really coll in an unexpected way.

Here was the April Fool's video IGN did:

When I saw the subject heading, I immediately thought of this for some reason (yes, I am obsessed with chiptune music from old video games):
