EA Rickrolls Yahtzee

[Arkhangelsk]

I'm adding this to my favourite news list.

 

[DrScoobs]

welcome to original marketing EA. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Is this EA we are speaking of? Are you sure it isn't Valve?

My little world is torn apart. Valve's the cool guy, Valve's the cool guy, Val.....

I feel insecure. EA please stop being awesome right now and restore order in the universe.

 

[Boxmeister]

epic.

 

[geldonyetich]

These Dante's Inferno guys seem a little too into their subject matter.


But then, this is EA we're talking about: I'm pretty sure their corporate headquarters are in Hell.

Damn, when EA has a good idea (and they do happen, occasionally) they are amazing. I have to try something like this someday, because it was genius. Kudos.

EA Rickrolls Yahtzee

Buzz-word much?

 

[hippykiller]

only if there was a movie to really show what happened there. that would be just pure awesome.

 

[oppp7]

Wow, that was actually a pretty good publicity... thing. I don't disagree with what Yahtzee did; I've been Rickrolled too many times...

 

[darthzew]

That is awesome. EA just won ten points, bringing them up to -538!!!

 

[Somethingfake]

Pix or it didn't happen!

 

[IrishBerserker]

Do we have video footage of Yahtzee smashing that box with a hammer?

But this is funny. Not quite laugh out loud funny, but very amusing to say the least.

Sadly, no. Here's the thing - our video crew just happened to be out at Red Storm when Yahtzee opened the box and weren't due back for at least an hour. And the music wouldn't shut off, so...we had no choice.

It was a tragedy all the way around, to be sure.

What about security footage?

EDIT: I'd settle for video from a phone camera.

 

[Sonicron]

I'm waiting for a demo, but if the quality of the gameplay is anywhere close to the level of marketing genius I'll grab this game faster than you can say, "I'm gonna grab this game!"
This will haunt Yahtzee for a long time. He got pwned by EA. Imagine the horror of it.

 

[Energylegzz]

EA wins the internet that might have been one of the greatest rick rolls of all time

 

[Polarix]

Wow, to think that Yahtzee got rickrolled through the mail service. Major Props to EA on the marketing and I hope that Dante's Inferno does well on store shelves.

 

[soren7550]

What I'd do to see footage of this happening...

 

[Rossmallo]

By far the cleverest stunt i've ever seen. Magnificent.

 

[Dyp100]

Very clever, very clever indeed.

All these pressing stunts (well, the two "sin" ones, and not the lust boobie one) have got me VERY intrested in this game, if they can be this creative ingame, I'll happily play it.

 

[Shapsters]

Ahaha, thats hilarious, kudos to EA for a great idea!

I wish I could Rick-Roll someone via the mailbox.
