What nostalgic gaming trends are discussed?
Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. Games come and go, consoles are born and die, franchises may take over the world and then fade into obscurity, but the memories we make from gaming will last a lifetime. Sometimes it's fun to think back about what used to be, and that's exactly what we're doing on this episode. We're going to be covering some of our favorite gaming trends that are now extinct. It'll be a trip down memory lane like no other, but first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh, and joining me, Beanie Babies, Pogs, and Jinkos may be gone from his life forever, but he'll never let go of his precious bandanas.
It's Ryan. Thank God for Amazon, because I have bulk bandanas that I just keep in my drawer, so I can grab one of those bad boys for work. And then, man, shout out to Pogs. I miss those so bad. Those were the bomb.
I never played Pogs, dude. No? No. I know it was a huge fad. I just never actually got into Pogs. It was just a little bit past, like, I missed it. You know what I mean? I think I was just a couple years too old for the height of Pogs and stuff. Gotcha. Yeah. I was a huge fan of JNCOs. I had so many JNCOs. It was ridiculous. I remember my parents looking at me like, our kid's an idiot. Does this kid not know how to wear proper size jeans? And I was just like, you guys don't know. These are super cool, man. This is what's going on right now. Funny thing is, JNCOs are actually making a comeback, dude.
Yeah, I've seen a lot of those 90s trends are coming back.
Yeah, because they were awesome.
Yeah, 90s. It's the bomb. The bomb.
