hey everybody
so, like, I have this personal hatred towards Lucas Arts, no real explanation as to why, just really annoyed with them. Maybe it's because they don't release on GOG, maybe it's because they decided to ignore all their best games for years.
Anyway, I was pissed off at the guy who runs their twitter, so I decided I'd do this:
http://twitter.com/weclock/status/3948248480
RT @lucasartsgames Day of The Tentacle out now on GOG!! http://bit.ly/4DyjzU
Now, he did not make that announcement, nobody did. I completely made it up in the hopes that he'd see it and freak out.
Apparently a bunch of people liked my idea, and RT'd

So today, I decided I'd hit them with one more.

RT @lucasartsgames Sam and Max now on GOG!! http://bit.ly/4DyjzU
and then, the reply

i am completely uncertain about the meme I am being hit with. Usually I know these too. @weclock any help? (
to which, our loyal friends replied

Excellent. @lucasartsgames now identifies @weclock #wecrolling.

@KeenanW @weclock @lucasartsgames AH! My horrible creation lives! #wecrolling
and then their reply

Interesting. Very interesting. It seems I can still be confused yet fascinated. Well done, gentlemen. Oh well. Back to playing Jedi Knight.
Anyway, as an aside, this is sort of an unrelated project, but it falls along the same lines of the UGSS group..
The Unofficial Spam Strikeforce, who's goal is to advertise GOG.
here's a Quote from IRC:

<phanboyiv> 21 snappy, intellectual pro-GOG posts.
So, if you are excited with the prospects of abusing people in PR, join us in the IRC or follow us on Twitter. We're all a bunch of fun loving guys.
Except for me, I'm a FREAK.

I am proud to be part of this. Let the #wecrolling and GOG promotion commence.
EDIT:
I got a reply too

Well, that's one way to start your own viral meme. :D

WE WILL WIN MY BROTHERS, THE ENEMY CANNOT STAND BEFORE OUR COMBINED MIGHT!

Yeah, we know. Come join us on IRC and be horrible with us.

Ahhh Weclock's *special* vid.
As for abusing the PR people, no, I'll stay out of that. Telemarketers for sure, they've been calling work more often lately and it's getting annoying.

I have, and I don't like it.
Funny how we've made the LArts guys to watch the video all the way through.

I think it's really funny. It's like a geeky rebel unit, fighting to get these games released on the right platform, where they will be best appreciated. I'm down.

Hmmm, this reminds me of someone we've been talking about a lot lately. Who was it now? Ah yes, Ezri.

Yeah, I don't wear the tag, these are just two projects that happened to coincide.
Me, wanting to annoy the hell out of the lucasartsgames guy, and UGSS who wants to spam GOG. it's a happy coincidence.

Am I the only one who has no fucking idea whats going on here?
So you're basically posting links to your naked gas mask video all over the place in the hopes of somehow annoying lucasarts?

every time you @someone they get a notification.
so everytime we posted "RT @Lucasartsgames" he got a notification about it, meaning he was notified about my video MANY TIMES.
so it annoyed them. :D

Did you read the LucasArts blog link? That's classy stuff, not self-promotion. It's more grassroots activism, heh. And all comments have to be approved for that site as well, so somebody on that blog obviously didn't think of them as spam.
We aren't trying to wage war on them, just make sure GOG gets pushed hard. All in good fun. And not particularly serious.
EDIT: And also, you'd have a hard time saying anything on Twitter ISN'T spam. Remember all that announcing of announcements LucasArts has been doing? :P

A: Cool
B: Did you put in some form of subliminal message?
