There's this little known internet meme the kids referred to as "Rickrolling." You may have heard of it in the past. All right, it's about as old as the internet is but that doesn't mean we can't have fun with it, right?! Well, the guys at Pixel Flix Studios have taken their love of Rick Astley and married it with their love of Gears of War 2 for a little mash-up they call "GearsRoll'd." Around the office we're calling it Gears of Roll'D. We don't want to ruin the surprise but all we can say is ... poor Baird and "it never ends."

Rickrolling: created circa 2007
Internet: created circa 1969
If your frame of reference is five-hundred years, then I guess you could say the two events occurred around the same time...

It wasn't meant to be factual. It was meant to be sarcastic.... I'm surprised I had to make that clear.

Rickrolling is dumb now, because everyone is in on the joke. Well back to duckrolling.

Seriously, am I the only person that likes this song and tells everyone that Rick Roll's me "Thanks I love this song" in a non-sarcastic manner?

It does seem people rather complain. Out of the 40 comments on the video about 2 or 3 are bad, and there thumbs down. Here somebody will say something snobby and vote their, and other snobby posters post up too. Grinches..It never ends :(

I always thought it was funny how on "It's Always Funny in Philidelphia", Dennis is always listening to Rick Astley, and singing it.
