Poll: So, apparently all this fuss is over the red button...

[TornadoFive]

DAMN IT!!! WHY DID I LET MY CURIOSITY GET THE BETTER OF ME???

OK, this may be fitting for the day the world is supposed to end, but still! This is practically torture!

The Escapist staff must have a warped sense of humour to come up with this.

I wear my Bieber proudly. I'm a curious button-pusher, and refuse to deny it.
BTW can I keep this profile pic? Please?

Hehe save/copy it then set it as your avatar after this is over will freak with us button pusher's minds and make us think the button isn't over

If you want to see the red button in question, check out my badge tab, at the bottom, on my profile. You will find it.

Dammit...I done it

By the way is my avatar actually Justin Bieber, or does it just change what I see for 24 hours?

Only what you see. Easiest way to conclude this is that you weren't seeing Beiber avatars on fever infected people before you clicked the button right? Would give the game away.

True dat. At least it's only what I see and nothi-

AND I WAS LIKE BABY BABY BABY OOOOOH LIKE

I'm now going to be sending people raging over buttons to the explanation:

The Escapist is trolling?

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

Well if there's a big red button with the words "DO NOT PRESS" in big red letters surrounding it, naturally you're gonna press it!

...Wait what are we talking about?

Well played Escapist, well played.

GIVE ME BACK MY COREY TAYLOR PICTURE :'(

I feel betrayed escapist

 

[TornadoFive]

Anyone else got their avatar back? Or is it just me?

 

[No_Remainders]

...

Damn you Escapist.

I got it back for a little while (did you press the button twice?) But Bieber is back again now.

 

[Fanboy]

Why did everyone just steal my super-cool Justin Beaver avatar?

That's totes lame, yo.

Also: First option [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/forum_options]. You're welcome.

No I just pressed it once. I'm not gonna do it again now am I? Not now that I know what it does!

I was just wondering, cause the message I got with the badge made it sound like this would last all day.

EDIT: Damn it! Never mind, he's back!

Guess he really is gonna stick around all day!

From what I can tell, every time you load a page you have about a 50/50 chance of it kicking in.

I was totally planning to change my avatar to Justin anyway. We're on a first name basis, me and Justin.

The message I got with the badge was just too tempting...
"Oh, I wont let you click your button again for the next hour. Don't click it again though.. Unless you want more troubles (and another badge). Nothing is happening now, but I am tracking your clicks!"

I know! I read the flavour text under other people's badges and thought, "There's clearly some sort of reverse psychology going on here, but I'll regret it for the rest of the day if I don't see what it does!"

*click*

"DAMN!"

I just like to pretend that I never heard of Beiber, and instead I focus on a more interesting group of Canadian artists: Billy Talent.
