Hopefully, by the time this game comes out, Silly Bandz will be "so last year" and no one will give a flying damn.

They're rubberbands shaped like things, how can this be popular!?
"So, uh, yeah, basically, I make my money selling rubber bands. They come in all colours and shapes, it's pretty cool, you should check them out."

I want a job easy as this one. Spending your days inventing new rubber shapes.

Yeah seriously, cereal shaped like stuff was never this popular why the hell is this that popular!? You can eat cereal, making it better.

I really feel bad for the DS... It was such a great idea, and had so much potential for greatness but all they did was make stupid gimmicky games and pointless kid games like this. -plays a tiny violin-

A video game... about... rubber bands.
Remember when kids games were cool? I don't either.
Also, if I had a son and he asked me for this, I'd say "No, but you can get Splinter Cell. That's a good game for kids!"

I don't get it...

I just... what?

This is worse than that notepad thing for Wii-ware.
What's even worse than even this are the Nintendo fanboys on Nintendolife that act as though those notebooks are gods gift to gaming and actually buy every color and wish for even more.

My first thought was 'hey, come on, it might be good, could be a great puzzle game, linked to a crappy licence' then I saw 'PLAY THE CRAZE' slapped across the box and thought - Oh for fucks sake, it's a rushed crappy piece of licenced shovelware desperately trying to both milk cash from and disillusion thousands of kids at once.

Hmm.. my mother-in-law sent my daughter a pack of those things for her birthday, and I was like "Huh? Fuckin' *rubber bands*??"

My daughter was like "Huh? Oh, hey, shapes. That's kinda cool, I guess."

My wife was like "Oh yeah, I've heard about these things; it's some kinda fad or something."

Apparently they're all the rage? I dunno, a lot of stupid things are all the rage at my kid's school. I guess it's always been that way.. I remember snap bracelets and friendship bracelets and pogs and all that shit I never gave a fuck about (but at least pogs were arguably a game, right?). Hey, look up the "swing wing" on youtube, and check out what the old kids got excited about.

I guess I'm just glad my daughter was somewhat nonplussed with the whole "craze" (she's exactly the target market for this sorta thing).

When I was a kid, we played with sticks! STICKS, I tells ya! We'd swing 'em at each other, or sometimes throw 'em at each other, if you got hit in the head, well, that was just God's way of telling you to be quicker! Step it up, fatso! I almost lost an eye twice! Same eye! But I didn't, and that means I won!

We didn't need no nancy-boy rubber bands to have fun, that's for sure.

I think I'm blissful enough to not live in the US, but given that many US trends and fads make it here on Mexico, it won't be long before we start seeing (pirated) Silly Bandz sooner than I may think.
They're American? I've never seen them around here before.

See, back in my day, our crappy fad tie-in games made some kind of sense. You can make a game out of something like Monster in my Pocket. We never tried to make a game about slap bracelets.

Posting an article about it on the Escapist is giving it far more publicity than it deserves. Shame on you.
