So the New York Mets had this poll on what their 8th inning sing along song should be and, of course, rickrollers everywhere jumped all over this like a bum on a ham sammich:

Well people had to enter the song into 'other' but it worked. They played the song during the game and the entire stadium pretty much got rickrolled:

If the link is removed just do a search for it. I'm sure theres hundreds of copies or variations circling around by now.

EDIT: This one is better, they even acknowledge the rickroll lmao http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0VJZMxode4

Saw it on news. They aren't going to let this happen again and stick to original mets openings now.

This is..quite awesome. I can guarantee a "NO U" popping up somewhere sometime soon at an event.

That's the beauty of Rick-Rolling..it would piss them off to make them officially state something like that, lol.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
