Play 'Em Off, Keyboard Sam Fisher

In celebration of Splinter Cell: Conviction's appearance at this year's Penny Arcade Expo, Ubisoft has released a little video starring hardboiled commando Sam Fisher taking on a popular Internet meme.


If you don't get the reference, three things: 1.) Shame on you! 2.) Why are you on on the Internet? 3.) go [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_cat].

It's always nice to see game developers with a sense of humor about promoting their game. It's also nice to see that Splinter Cell operative Sam Fisher hasn't let his piano skills go rusty, what with all the terrorist-killing and revenge-seeking he's been up to lately.

I actually hear that Sam's teaming up with Warcraft's Deathwing [http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/_images/layout/keyboardcataclysm.jpg] - they're going on tour together. Now that's a show that definitely shouldn't be missed!

Haha that was awesome, I love the keyboard cat vids (the only meme I actually like *gasp*) so yea

 

[Armored Prayer]

Ha!

Finally, somebody decided to shut that cat up.

 

[Susan Arendt]

Gene. Yuss.

I love it when devs show off their senses of humor.

 

[The Kangaroo]

I want that cat at my FUNeral playing me off

I also want 2 F-15 fighter jets to crash together over my body along with a little hidden speaker that played "Still Alive" on an infinite loop

 

[hazakura]

Haha! That was great!

 

[Disembodied_Dave]

hah well that was cute.

 

[Mr. Fister]

Haha, that reminded me that Keyboard Cat is in Scribblenauts. He's gonna be one of the first things I summon.

Ah, yes, stalker cat. Well, given the game, they might just do that one next.

Actually, Ubisoft might just go all the way and use only Lolcat references for all their Splinter Cell advertising.

If they did, I would buy the game just to reward them.

This is probably the only internet meme I can get my head around (without the help of alcohol consumption), so it's nice to see that Ubisoft actually has a sense of humor.

Additionally, I have yet to see a Keyboard Cat video playing off Peter Molyneux, which surprises me.

 

[5stringedbandit]

Well that was excellent I must say. Bravo Sam Fisher!

 

[ae86gamer]

Thats awesome. That made my day.

Play me off, Keyboard Sam..

 

[Abedeus]

Holy crap. This is why I love Ubisoft ;d

That makes two people who want more lolcats in Splinter Cell.

Onward with the recruitment!

I spend a ridiculous time on the internet, including 4chan, and have never seen this meme before.

But it was still funny.

 

[ChaosTheory3133]

I lawl'd
Love it when developers get in on stuff like this.

Now that's a Sam Fisher cat!

Anyway, I laughed pretty hard. Developers with a sense of humour, there should be more of those.
