Worst videogame fad ever only because it was so popular. I was scared for a moment there that it would stick.

"A fad is said to "catch on" when the number of people adopting it begins to increase rapidly. The behavior will normally fade quickly once the perception of novelty is gone."

We're safe, brah. It's all over. We can go home now.

It's not. Just what looks like might be another fad. He wants his input because Oscar thinks mobile is the future.

It had nothing to do with the thread, actually.

Ah.

It's just that this thread is about Japan, and Oscar lives in Japan, and I assumed there was a Japan-related thing in there which I couldn't see.

Thanks!
