EA Rickrolls Yahtzee

[Dragerien]

Wow, just wow, that they knew how to act like Jigsaw. (Playing on how people WILL react over how they CAN react to get their point across.)

Kudos to having the proper thinking of someone looking death in the face and judging humanity.
(I mean that the best way I can because, while typing, it sounded very much like an insult)

Well at least they did not do this:

nice that wins my cool thing of the day award

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.

Aw, dammit. The video would have been pure gold...

I'll just chalk it up to "wrong place, wrong time." Wrong place for the video crew to be, wrong time for Yahtzee to open the box.

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

Rick rolled without the use of the internet... interesting.

Applause to all involved here.

 

[Aardvark]

Goddamnit, that's just too awesome. I now have to purchase this game on the strength of that alone.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I can't work out what's funnier: This or the fact that EA did something funny

 

[SomeBritishDude]

EA get more awesome everyday.

 

[Ammadessi]

Well that gave me a chuckle. I always thought that Yahtzee needed to work out some anger, never thought up that EA would hand him the opportunity on a silver platter.

 

[The Bandit]

That... That's just awesome.

 

[TheNamlessGuy]

DELETED

 

[Tharwen]

Now that is clever.
All this Dante's Inferno advertisment is working, I wasn't even going to try the game out before, but I am now.

NO! You're succumbing to their cheap marketing ploys! That's bad! BAD!

 

[The Great JT]

I gotta admit, I love the Dante's Inferno hyping. I'm tempted to see what they do when they hit Cocytus (the ninth level). Probably try to summon Satan or some shit.

Hell hath no fury like that of Yahtzee Croshaw.

 

[ArchBlade]

That is hilarious. Abso-freaking-lutely hilarious.

Oh, EA. You don't even know. You don't even know.

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

PFFFFFF AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, i swear to god it will take a few days to stop AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA laughing. God thats funny, I need to do this to my friends.

This acually reminds me of something that happend at school. My teacher has his own blog that we're allowed to post on but its annonimos, so its possible to do some monior things without someone looking up your IP address. So of course some friends fucked with the site and one of the things they did was post a link to what LOOKED like a porn site from the name of the link.

So in class the teacher clicked on it (in the corner with no one looking) and it was a RICK ROLL site, that cant stop even if you try to close the page, and its so LOUD. The whole class hears "never gunna give you up ect" We laughed so hard that even he started laughing, it was great. Ah good times good times.

 

[Ravenseeker]

nice, looking forward to the game even more now

 

[RebelRising]

That's kind of clever, but I thought one of main points of Dante's Inferno was you didn't want to go to Hell...

Whatever. Yahtzee's reaction was awesome.
