You were not around to enjoy the N64, get out.
That's a pretty silly thing to say. Many people would have kept such things as an N64 and the younger generations easily could have played on them. I've played on one, yet I would never consider myself part of that generation. Also, he was just mentioning a cool console logo, didn't have to be around at it's highlight to see it.
On-Topic: Does anyone know how often 'fads' seem to come up on the forums?
Since the forum obviously repeats it's self on a certain schedule.
I'm just not sure how often fads prop up. Certainly less frequent than loveually-themed threads and much less frequent than religion-based threads. Not too sure if they're as frequent as the odd terrible troll/idiot we get wandering in.
Also, people who are following a 'fad' about a coloured square, perhaps come up with something with a slight bit more creativity. That's a boring idea for a fad.
