Quantcast



One of the bad things about PAX is that I'm not there (yes, I will be whining all weekend), but one of the good things about it is companies seem to lay back a bit while they are there. It's not about business like it is at E3, it's just about gaming. Ubisoft has plopped right down in the Lay-Z-Boy armchair that is PAX and gone and memed up Splinter Cell: Conviction. What meme could they possibly use? Take a look at the E3 trailer and try to make a guess before watching the vid.

I'll give you a hint: it has to do with a cat and a piano. I know, still pretty tough to guess, right? Well, I don't like to give things away so easy. So far as I can tell this puts Ubisoft up one in the "contest to put piano playing cats into your game's trailer," but I hear that Activision, after seeing this, isn't far behind.

I am an avid Keyboard Cat fan; I own a first edition Three Keyboard Cat Moon shirt. I have the fucking song as my ringtone, for fuck's sake.

I <3 THIS TRAILER

Ubisoft, this totally makes up for not making Beyond Good and Evil 2. For now.

We don't laugh, because keyboard cat was never funny.

"I'm confused. How is that suppose to be funny? I must be missing something. Was the cat person playing the piano suppose to be funny or something?"

You failed. Play him off, keyboard cat...

At this point if you're on the internet and you haven't heard of Keyboard Cat, there's something wrong with you. If anything it's been overused.

This is a pretty funny use of the meme, though.

Keyboard cat is the perfect ringtone. Along with the Stella theme.

This would be funny if they, you know, used a funny meme.

Shame. I know about Keyboard Cat, and it wasn't funny.
