Message: [QUOTE="Waffles, post: 200156, member: 703"] It's always fun to me when I come across videogame/console references in books not about them. Like, there are a quite a few scenes in "Donuts & Other Proclamations Of Love" in which Mario Kart is the centerpiece of the narrative (it even moves both the plot and character development forward in a hilarious way). There are also mentions to the original SEGA Genesis in "Retro" (that book is most certainly NOT about gaming). A few other books I know of either use gaming as a common ground thing or directly drop names of important franchises to sort of lay down the groundwork and establishing when they take place, a bit of an awkward (but appreciated!) attempt to come across as relatable. What other examples do you know of? [/QUOTE]
