Video: You've got your Rick Astley in my Gears

by Xav de Matos { Dec 24th 2008 at 9:20PM }

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."

its almost as though baird is being carried around by an invisible person while hes dancing.

Awesome dance shuffle tho.

@myabsolution..
Your right on the ball. We used a simple meatshield glitch to help make Baird dance :P Thanks for posting this X3F! :D

KrisR @ Dec 24th 2008 10:19PM

legendtaker117 @ Dec 24th 2008 10:25PM

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.

X,L113TFD @ Dec 25th 2008 12:51AM

Well, no worries then...

reyes @ Dec 25th 2008 1:41AM

@Xav: Was it meant to suck? Cause that came across nice and clear.

It wasn't the Rick Rolling they were referring to, it was Rick Astley's, "Never Gonna Give You Up" single. And the internet was only widely used by the public around the late eighties, so yes, it makes chronological sense.

Jcarpio @ Dec 26th 2008 1:01AM

Wow.. people don't have senses of humor..

but most have the sense of bitching.

BFBeast666 @ Dec 25th 2008 6:33AM

Ouch, that dancing looked real painful :)

Nice vid!

EdgeOne @ Dec 25th 2008 9:42AM

That cracked me up - nice lip sync work! LOL

SidearmS @ Dec 25th 2008 11:19AM

New Year's Resolution #1 - I must learn that dance.

XBox 360 - Left arm crooked, right arm straight down, legs bent, sway...

Anthony @ Dec 25th 2008 12:51PM

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

Doll @ Dec 25th 2008 9:25PM

Awww, not my Baird

Sarth @ Dec 26th 2008 3:35AM

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?

PixelFlix @ Dec 26th 2008 8:57AM

@jcarpio
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 :(
