Are we entering a new golden age of gaming?

>come back home from college
>dad is watching Kaceytron
>mom bought 3 fucking fidget spinners
>I'm 19 and the youngest kid so it's not like they're exposed to this due to some little brat

I don't even understand what the fuck is going on anymore. My fucking parents connect with today's youth better than I do and they're in their 50's.

>>382362264
>Not even crash themed
For what reason

>>382362745
Probably because that's the type of retard that Crash has been retooled to appeal to in the last decade.

Look at the modern version of Crash and tell me you can't imagine him playing with fidget spinners.

You cannot really escape those spinner things unless you are blind.

>>382362745
>Spinner that resembles Crash's spin attack
It could be a easy money maker for them.

>>382363291

The game sold out on pre-order, it's doing fine, maybe not a system seller but enough to make a comeback for the franchise

>>382363434
I've honestly never once seen them outside of 4chan and one commercial I saw for them.

No other site I use bitches about them constantly and I've never seen anyone playing them irl. I actually learned they were even a thing here in /v/ just a couple of months ago. Then I looked them up and found out they're from the 90s. I'm 30 and never saw them in the 90s either.

Wisconsin, fads die before they even get here.

My parents must have like 10 of these spinners now.

>>382363678

Really? Every gas station I stop at has them at the counter. Then again I'm in Florida and we're mostly filled with retards, cannibals, and more retards.

Your parents are on that snapchat. They've got their finger on the pulse of your generation and understand it more than you.

Can't believe how much power social media has on fads, these spinner things dont have anything special to them. Shit came out of nowhere and suddenly your mom and friends all have one.

>>382362264
>buy this oldschool platformer aimed at 30 year old men
>get this childs' toy for 10 year olds
I guess this is aimed at guys trying to get their kids to play "real games",

>>382363994
Good job getting three games of the same price to not get ripped off by the "the cheapest game is the free one" clause.

>I live in Florida

My condolences

>>382363889
What part of Florida?

>>382363994
Good choice of games, shitty deal for preowned games. I've bought all these brand new off Amazon for a fraction of that price.

>>382364289

Orlando. I live out towards UCF and work downtown and every gas station and convenience store in between is selling fidget spinners from $5-$20

>>382364145
As someone who lived through pogs 20 years ago, I can tell you that retarded fads don't need social media to spread, no matter how utterly pointless and lacking in any special qualities they are. I mean I'm sure it helps, but dumb fucks are gonna dumb fuck no matter what.

Jesus Christ, can we give Kansas back to the indians?

>Horizon and Yakuza have been out for fucking MONTHS

This is why I don't buy my games at gamestop anymore. If you have amazon prime you can get brand new games for 20% off during their first two weeks of release, you just can't beat that shit. I think bestbuy does a similar thing, but I wouldn't know for sure

>>382364197
Thanks. Dragon quest was just kind of tossed in there for that reason, haven't played the first hero's, but hopefully it will be good.

>>382364343
Yeah, prime is good deal for vidya.

My sister has actual autism and I got her a 2$ one and she enjoys it.

Outside of that its a fucking scam.

>>382364521
>>382363994
Oh wow, didn't even notice that they were also used and only $10 off. Gamestop is a fucking scam

>How to crab
What does it mean?

>>382362264
I don't even know what that is.

>>382364521

Amazon has Amazon Now in my town. They will literally get all the groceries and toiletries and I need, gather them up and deliver them to my house in less than 2 hours. This shit is awesome but a bit scary. How many jobs are going to be lost when basically every retailer is made obsolete?

>>382364521
Yeah I am prime as well and should have picked up Horizon when it was 40. 49 (I think I pay 47 for brand new on prime) for each gane isn't bad though especially when one is free.

>>382363270
I just bought one at Walmart an hour ago. It's just a stupid desk toy that's mildly amusing to screw around with, not like I expected much else

>>382364613

Crab fishing is a hobby and line of work. Amateurs typically go to the beach at night (when many types of crabs go to feed) with high powered flashlights. The crab eyes shine bright under the flashlight so you run up and grab them with thongs or other instruments. There's crab fishing with wooden or metal bait boxes your anchor into the water but that's mostly for pros or hunters with licenses.

Its bad when Nintendo puts amiibos with preorder games

But its great when Sony puts a fidget spinner with preorder games!

>>382364910
I didn't know fidget spinners unlocked stuff in Playstation games.

>>382362264
Pretty desperate.

>>382364910
>Its bad when Nintendo puts amiibos with preorder games

Agreed. The existence of Amiibos in general is bad.

>But its great when Sony puts a fidget spinner with preorder games!

That would also be bad. Good thing Game Stop and Sony are two different companies, and this is a Game Stop promotion.

>>382364769
why not just get a hand grip strengthener if you need something for your free hand to do at the desk

>>382365624
I'd rather just do actual forearm work during workouts

>>382364896
I have always crabbed as an amateur with crab nets and bait. If you go during low tide you can easily catch dozens.

>>382366116

I heard there are many types of inedible crabs. Is that true? Unless they have poison in their veins I don't see how this is true.

>>382364461
Fidget spinners are more akin to those stupid finger skateboards everyone had in the early 2000s. At least fidget spinners are quiet.

My coworker has a fidget spinner. It's already worn out so I guess he uses it a lot.

>>382366275
I remember those too, that was middle school for me. Yo-yos and hacky sacks came and went too.

>>382362264
Either my gamestop ripped me off or this is fake, because I actually traded some shit specifically to buy the Crash remakes and all I got was that shitty keychain that's painted like garbage for preordering.

>>382363717
>Wisconsin
Makes sense. I have family there and they're always at least 2 or 3 months behind on every major trend

>>382366439
Hackey-sacks were still around when I was a freshman in college, back in 2004. By which I mean they had mainstream, widespread use and weren't exclusively the domain of all the guys in Birkenstocks who smell like patchouli.

>>382366848
I was a junior in high school in 2004 and yeah, that's right about when everyone was playing with them here too.

My friends and I even gave it a try and ended up getting them banned in my school because we would kick them straight up as hard as possible and ended up breaking a few ceiling tiles.
