Last time I talked to my buddy, Garrick B. Raad, He kept going on about this girl he liked. As we parted ways he mentioned that he was going to ask her out.

A few days went by before I texted him, asking whether he had asked her out yet.

He responded with this:
generic image description

Can anyone help me figure out what he said?

As Deusovi pointed out in the comments, it's a repeating 5x5 block, so I focused on those 25 pixels. The hex values I found for those are

620A41746F756820742E6174492E2069206D746768652776752070686E632065647268656E206968207466652065616368207765696C6F2072706C65796C6167696E69204C0A6E6B000000

However, I noticed in the description that

The buddy's name is Garrick B. Raad - GBR. While numeric representations of colors are RGB - so he likely rearranged the values to match his name.

After readjusting accordingly, I found that the new hex values were

0A41626F757420746861742E2E2049206D696768742776652070756E636865642068657220696E207468652066616365207768696C6520726F6C65706C6179696E67204C696E6B0A000000

Converting that to ASCII, we get

About that.. I might've punched her in the face while roleplaying Link

Whatever floats your boat, man.

    Nice catch! This definitely is not something that happened to a friend, in any way at all – Areeb Aug 31 '16 at 02:32

    I think your friend's bigger problem is complicated answers to simple questions :P – Kokiomot Aug 31 '16 at 14:11

    @Areeb Thanks for the clarification. That answer is in the realm of "can't make this stuff up" – David Starkey Aug 31 '16 at 15:02

    @Kokiomot -- For us lesser mortals, could you please explain (1) How did you (and @Deusovi) determine that the image is a "repeating 5x5 block"? (2) How did you get the RGB values? – Happy Green Kid Naps Aug 31 '16 at 19:30

    @HappyGreenKidNaps 5x5 refers to the individual pixels in the image. Zoomed out as it is, the image looks a little like a grid to me. So I downloaded the image and zoomed in to see the pixels, and noticed that it was a it was a tiled image of 5x5 seemingly random pixels. From there I cut out all but one tile, and used the eyedropper tool in an image editor to see what the RGB values were for each pixel. – Kokiomot Aug 31 '16 at 21:18
