EA Rickrolls Yahtzee

[MrSnugglesworth]

Pretty good. I with had a video though.

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

You know a meme is old when both EA and Nancy Pelosi have used it.

Goddamn "Rickroll" is dead.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

They sent him a box claiming that the fifth circle was near? How very appropriate--Sloth and Wrath, how better to sum up the caricature that Yahtzee so passionately represents every week. "Never done a hard days work in his life", "assing about at home and being paid perplexingly well for it...", his tirades on the game of the moment...Well played, EA. Way to bring it right up in his face, and stick it straight to him, decrying him as he decidedly is. I can't wait to see the lashings from the backlash.

 

[MR T3D]

between this, activision's recent actions, and BF:BC2 looking FUCKING AMAZING, i'd say EA's alright

 

[rhyno435]

That's pretty awesome.

 

[Fudgo]

Best. Rickroll. Evar.

EA has finally managed to gain a few points on my respect-o-meter.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

I officially love this division of EA, it's creative, funny, and good publicity.

 

[The_Prophet]

OOOOOOOOOOOOooooooh snap!

 

[Rathy]

I may have to forgive EA for the stupidity of some of their past Dante's Inferno advertisements now. This is pure amazingness.

 

[Woodsey]

Haha, now that's how you advertise!

 

[sln333]

You have to wonder if, on the inside, Yahtzee liked what he got.

 

[samsonguy920]

Yahtzee SMASH!!! HAH!

 

[Jerich0]

can't say the snarky guy didnt have it coming, right? RIGHT?

 

[bigdaddy95]

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!

You know you want to....... I don't, but YOU do.....

 

[Davey Woo]

I take it that's EA attacking him for being a big pink meanie about their games?
Kind of immature if it is.
Otherwise quite a funny prank to play.

 

[DeathWyrmNexus]

LOL

FUCKING WIN!!!

That is just awesome. XD

 

[ZombieGenesis]

I think it's pretty damn appropriate actually- Yahtzee's whole selling point for his videos is the fact he is to modern games what the Angry Video Game Nerd is to the NES classics. Nobody watches Yahtzee to hear about the games refined qualities, they want to hear him tear at it with rusty shears! Beautifully illustrated by this little event, I must say.

Still, I can't see the game being any good. Mainly because I've seen footage and...well, it'll probably be better than Viking and Too Human, but it'll basically be the same game.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Okay, EA, you've still got some life about you, yet.

 

[the-darkness]

Fuck. I mean... fuck. Who would Rickroll fucking Yahtzee?! Beware EA, you clever bastards, for Yahtzee's revenge will be at hand!
