When was Rick Rolling popular? From what I've heard it seems to have been a meme from a while ago that came back into fashion.

And you get awesome stuff like this.

Okay, the question here is ... video editing? Or pigg diving and texture replacement? Because if it's the latter ... there needs to be a guide, like, now.

You don't know Splasher, do you?

(Exporting a video segment to those screens can be done in about twenty minutes by using the freeware programs VirtualDub to cut the video and save the frames as image files, and IrFanView to create the 1024x1024 texture with 64 128x128 frames).

No, I mean, how'd you get the Rickroll on the screen in the first place? Did you take a video and then edit it to include that? Or did you replace whatever file in the game .piggs that has Recluse's speech video with a the rickroll footage, so you actually see that on the screens in-game?

And if it was the latter, I need to know how you did it.

Well Played. That was hilarious.

With all the rickrolling going on in the boards, I decided I should try my hand at it, and of course I went for the biggest fish I could find. Since both devs and community reps have already fallen for it, I decided to go for the evilest guy around: Lord Recluse himself!

Here's a photo for proof of the rickrolling, and I even got a surveillance video (also at w00tstudios and a high-quality WMV download). Top that, noobs!

That, sir, is so full of win I haven't the words to properly express iit.

Awesome video Leandro. And thank you for sharing it with us all.

I think this deserves something special, but it's not my decision to make.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
