Now I can't wait for Yahtzee to review Dante's Inferno.
Seriously, I was at work when I read this, and it instantly made my day.

EA Rickrolls Yahtzee

An interesting idea but I don't think it conveys the idea of rage very well. Although Yahtzee's review epitomizes rage your description makes this sound more like a surgical smash and wire removal rather then a mindless fury of blows and wild smashes to stop the madness. Also, You guys all work in the same office? I always though of it a bit differently. (like mount Olympus).
He very clearly was intended to smash the box with a hammer, as it was included in the fucking box, so the "you are guilty of the sin of wrath" thing is kinda ineffectual. The music couldn't be turned off without breaking the mechanism, and it came with a hammer. I mean, anyone would've done the same. This is just EA's way of "cleverly" wreaking petty revenge on Yahtzee for openly expressing how much he hates them, while simultaneously advertising an upcoming game of theirs. It's like teepeeing his house and writing the words "Frank Gibeau Rulez" on his front yard.
And another thing, why Rickrolling? The fad is dead! It's over! It peaked when Rick Astley HIMSELF Rickrolled the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade a year or two ago.

"Besides, it's not every day you get to see Yahtzee smash something to bits with a hammer."
Really? I would think that if not every day, then at least every week...

This made me giggle ^_^
Also, now that EA have had the sheer gall to RR game critics, I have raised my opinions of them. Im hoping they'll put as much effort into the game as they have this elaborate prank.

I feel like if the game gets a lot of good press he won't ignore reviewing the game. He won't avoid a review just because they pranked him and let him fall right into their trap.
It's good to see game publishers taking Yahtzee seriously as a game reviewer... now maybe they'll listen to some of his advice.
And I may as well get my two cents in: I don't think EA are the big, bad, video-game spamming monsters that everyone fondly remembers them to be anymore. Sure they churn out some repetitive games (EA Sports, mostly), but they're trying to be better people now.

Lolololol, all throughout the course of reading this I had a mental scene painted in my mind... And it's hilarious
