Meh, I work at an after school care program. My kids haven't worn Silly Bandz (TM) since summer.

They're over.


Thank, God.

Whatever company made this is not going to be successful.
Silly band craze is over, and even if we had the craze, I doubt people will buy a game about it.
How do you even play the game. I don't get it.

I will never understand the fads that hit the shores of this once-great nation I reside in...

People like mediocrity?
More like people like overpriced rubberbands. They're not cool! You know what was cool?

My reaction to this is basically the "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!!" meme. My sister has, and no exaggerations here, over 9000 of the damn things. She has 9 buckets full of them...

That's like...the best damn thing ever. I'm going to go buy five of them right now! I mean, wow!

...But then again, maybe it just seems so nice because you compared it to Altair's Chronicles. *rimshot*

One of the very few intelligent things my ex-wife ever said:

"If my mom bought me that crap instead of Starcraft I'd probably think games were stupid too."

She said this when I explained to her that stuff like "Imagine: Baby" sold like gangbusters to parents of pre-teen girls.

Gee, I remember back in the day when all we had were regular rubber bands that were shaped like ovals, circles, truncated rectangles, and occasionally a twig and berries (if you thought you were clever and could hold them properly in two hands). And instead of wearing them, we'd put one end on our index finger, wrap it around our hand, and hold the other end with our ring finger, aim at each others' eyes, and let go! Now that was the pinnacle of fun right there. This "wearing" thing is for passive weenies. Anything that doesn't draw blood or come at you at high speeds wasn't worth having, no sirree, no way no how, not in THOSE days.

Pogs are going to be cool again?
One can only hope.
I still have my pogs in their airtight, vacuum sealed tubes and slammers at the ready for the inevitable revival of the ultimate game that "totally isn't gambling" (Timmy G, 14) and "Has like, cool pictures and [stuff], and you can trade them and some are gross" (Aaron F, 15). When will this glorious day come?

Actually, I really do still have all my pogs. I have a full set of... I think they were called "Slugs," which were disgusting lenticular prints that often frequented gross creatures or an eyeball that frequently got dismembered in unpleasant ways. I wonder if that collection is worth money, you don't see that kind of printing done much these days.

EDIT: Apparently, it's worth 15 dollars.

I'm calling it. Game of the Year. Could this be even better than Club Penguin? We will just have to wait and find out. I know that I, for one, cannot wait.

I don't know, tell that to my school. They're popular for reasons I can't explain. It advertises it on their name, I guess. Silly bands of silicone. That's all they are and will ever be.

It's going to be hard to top Club Penguin. That game was BEAST(apparently one of those hip words that caught on when I wasn't looking like gay and retard).
