MINIFAQ:
Q: "OMG collecting for the Turbo is gonna get expensive now!!!"
A: IT ALREADY IS, YOU f*ck! Also this is not likely to have a long-lasting effect and his fans are not likely to pay high prices for said games. They'll emulate or most likely watch Youtube videos.
Q: "Our forum is gonna become shit!"
A: Ain't no one gonna register for these forums because of Kanye.
Q: "What will be the long-reaching effects of this?"
A: Not much, just some cool notoriety that someone who's currently famous actually has legitimate fond memories of a great system. Should we throw contempt his way for liking the Turbo? That would make us a horrible community. The biggest impact is that there will be lots of searches on Google and Youtube for "Turbo Grafx 16". This might last a few days. Kanye will increase the $$$ in my wallet next month. I will buy a yacht despite being in a landlocked state.
Rappers are going to be throwing turbo chips at the strippers now, and you dont think prices are going up? And where do you think said rappers will source this site for these chips? Hmmmm? Well, prepare for rap battles and gang violence, because this shit is going down for real. Throwing bones is too old school, hucking hueys is the next rage, fo sho.
No gangster I've ever met has listened to Kanye West. "Gangsta rap" hasn't been mainstream since the late 90s, so I doubt you'll see any shootouts as a result of this. Plus, there is nothing Gangsta about his music at all. The music in his last few albums has been very synthetic 80s sounding. Plus, his albums usually go through several name changes before he actually settles on one.
Kanye has made video game references in the past, as have many rappers. Heck, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony used the beat from the Eternal Champions theme song for their song "Eternal."
This isn't going to ruin anything, for a month or so there will be more Google hits, and a few games will be sold and maybe gouged, but that's it. Things will go back to normal.
