To borrow a John-ism: oh my goodness! You’re either about to hate me forever, or laugh and offer to buy me a cupcake. Whatever the hell Nyan cat is, it’s clearly a meme of terrifying scope. The original video’s been viewed 46 million times, and now it’s been snuck into Unreal 3 as a mod for the Redeemer. Just look.
Behold!
I know, you must have it, right? Who wouldn’t want to destroy a Dark Walker with a flying, rainbow cat? Here‘s where you can grab it.

This is either the most horrible thing or entirely wonderful. I don’t know. I’m going to choose to hate you forever and buy you a cupcake.

I came here to groan and bash for actually writing about this rubbish meme.
I stayed for the surprisingly amusing video.

When I were a young lad we all had to make do with goatse and like it. None of this fancy foreign “nyan cat” muck.

This is … disturbing… on so many levels…

Almost makes me want to play UT3 again :D
Like someone said in the YT comments, I wish I had this mod for BF3 – for the rockets :D

So I got the gist of the ‘meme’ in three seconds and left the rest of the video with an unearned view count. Without knowing about this meme, the Battlefield 3 clip is fucking excellent. You basically get wrapped up in 18 seconds of horribly realistic Battlefield tension and then… the perfect level of nonsense.
I don’t know why anyone would watch the original video right through.

Edit the brain and delete the embed code.

Worth risking a brain tumour just for the disclaimers at the end.

Stab it. Now.

Posting this video on my blog slowed traffic down significantly. Beware.

Ohhh, Nyan Cat, is there somewhere you won’t show up? I love this meme, but I fear seeing it everywhere will be boring very soon.

Buying UT3 so I can have this.
09/11/2011 at 17:46 Craig Pearson says:
Good man!
09/11/2011 at 22:07 Squishpoke says:
Yes, I agree with Pearson here.
UT3 just for the single player botmatches alone is worth whatever amount of cash you would spend on it.
09/11/2011 at 16:16 Jams O'Donnell says:
That is ingenious. Hats off.
09/11/2011 at 16:28 Surgeon says:
That is ingenious. Cats off.

09/11/2011 at 16:21 Beelzebud says:
What’s sad is that this is probably the most attention UT3 ever got!
I choose to kill you with a cupcake!
09/11/2011 at 16:23 Batolemaeus says:
and here’s Nyan cat in 1kb
09/11/2011 at 16:29 Phantoon says:
Dark Walker? John Walker’s evil twin?
12/11/2011 at 21:24 BathroomCitizen says:
Nah, I think that the one you’re looking for is just Nega-Walker.
09/11/2011 at 16:38 MaXimillion says:
Nyan Cat is also a courier skin in HoN

Yes!

Awsome pun Craig.

And here I was hoping for a game where you run around throwing kittens at each others faces. One day…

This is the greatest mod ever!

*Re-install UT3 and downloading this right nyaow !
09/11/2011 at 19:58 thessalian_pine says:
And now there’s finally a reason to go out and buy UT3.

But the real question is, when you give it a case of premature detonation, does it say “De-nyied!” ?

I’ve never heard about that cat thing before, so now I’m glad I haven’t skipped that… news.
