Because games are mainstream

They did it back in the day with other cartoons and movies but no one cares about that anymore, games are the only thing that truly matters

cartoons have been doing references for ages but i swear its becoming more prevalent recently, and sometimes even in the place of jokes

>haha i recognise that, and it makes me feel good

>but i swear its becoming more prevalent recently
Are you fucking kidding me?

>2008 isnt relatively recent
surely u need to be older to be on Yas Forums right user?

i would rather have it as a background easter egg than an actual direct reference in the show.

No, you're just older and recognize more references.

references and cameos are funny and fun

More than a decade old is not recent, my dude, not even relatively
