Is this for real? Sounds like a hoax - but if it isnt, which looks like it, this is one for the books. It also reflects on Yahtzees level of renown in the gaming community if a portion of a large copmany would pay him respects with a "gift" like this, lol.

Ya the scroll was a bit of a damper...

1) Don't you have empty rooms and towels in austrailia to kill the sound until the film crew get back?
2) EA "the faceless ones" have just made themselves a new enemy in yahtzee and I wait with bated breate for the next extra puntuation.
P.S. Rest assured yahtzee if you ask them really nicely they'll send you the game early

Just when I thought EA had no sense of humour. That is utterly fantastic. I would love to see Ben sucking on the sour grapes he'd be eating right now xD

Now That's a rickroll! Why can't anyone on youtube have the decency to switch it up every once and a while? The video alone isn't funny anymore. Well, it never was.

Are you kidding? The scroll was the best part!

For a sec, I thought the Escapist was dabbling in satire, Onion style. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought it was a hoax.

This... is the best thing... EVER.

I love how they provided the means necessary to MAKE IT SHUT UP! OH, GOD, PLEASE, MAKE IT SHUT UP!!!

Oh my god that is awesome! I am so getting that game now, just because they got Yahtzee to go "RRAAAAAARGH! YAHTZEE SMASH!"

Okay, I give EA points for smarties, and Yahtzee points for smashies, but that note? They're really saying that it's Yahtzee's boundless wrath that made him smash the box? I blame the song. Just hearing "Never Gonna Give You Up" is enough to make me hammer-happy myself. I find Yahtzee's reaction to be perfectly reasonable, and awesome as well.

By the way, this has got to be the best glove-to-the-face ever in the history of duels. Yahtzee has to review The Inferno now, and avenge the blow to his honor.

What a clever trick. Way to go EA, very nice. Beautifully done. A fourth generic fan complement!

Wow...well, there's the proof.

Who says publishers don't care about relatively small internet publications?

And as a side not, why does everyone treat that song like the work of Satan? I kind of like it.

All we need now are those useless singing cards you get for birthdays to have Rick Astley playing and we have Birthday RickRolls :D
