Did she Rick Roll us?

>> ^Friesian:

It looks a bit suspicious to me... Not in that it was faked, but to me it seems more likely that this explicitgamer website made it? The uploader was immediately all "lol best rick roll ever, check out my website". I know custom maps have been about for a while, but I have no idea if this would be possible to do for an end user. Either way, I'm sceptical.


I agree that it seems contrived. The guy knew it was going to happen and had a plan to plug his website. His behavior is just so unnatural. And does he record all his games?

The map is not made by the website. The guy from website just made the youtube video. Anyways, just tried the map myself, and it's awesome how the SC2 editor lets you embed videos.

Imagine finding out about this in game for the first time. Definitely one of the most epic and unexpected Rick Rolls ever.

I wouldn't have normally posted a rick roll, but this is created and endorsed by Blizzard

I'm on the subway, going to work, haven't had coffee yet, and a bunch of wannabe jokesters Rick Roll the entire car? Someone's getting a friendly little sack tap to kick it up an octave.

it would seem to be a theme... http://videosift.com/video/Christ-TV-Gets-Rick-Rolled

That chick hammers like a girl.


I experienced wrath from watching her gently tap the box with the hammer...

good god why would you destroy a custom rick roll box

That is word-for-word what my comment was going to be.

I used to worry about this sort of thing whenever I went to 4chan. Apparently the FBI doesn't care if the CP is some small thumbnail that was automatically downloaded when you refreshed the page. It seems the only way to be safe is to stay away from any website where other users can post things.

A Win for effort

The only thing missing was overlaying a rick roll
