When the Playstation 3 was unveiled at E3 2005,many YTMND's were featured parodizing the "boomerang" controller. However,during the 2006 E3 expo, Kaz Hirai of Sony gave out a presentation regarding Sony's latest console, the Playstation 3. The presentation featured many items that were later criticized. Eventually, these events caught on with ytmnd and a fad was created.
The fad can be broken down into various sub-fads:
- Giant Enemy Crab (or Massive Damage); A Sony producer was giving out details regarding their latest action game, Genji: Days of the Blade (then called Genji 2). He explained that the entire game was based on real events in Japanese history, but the level he played afterwards suggested that, instead, he meant events based on Japanese mythology. Among those features appearing less than historical were real time weapon changing, magical pillar weapons, and the notorious Giant Enemy Crab.
- Ridge Racer; During another segment of the conference, Kaz was discussing the game Ridge Racer for the PSP and went haywire, saying "It's Ridge Racer. RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RAACEERR!".
- 599 US Dollars; The pricetag of the Playstation 3 as annouced by Kaz Hirai himself.
This fad includes, most commonly, these portions of his presentation:
- "Genji 2 is an action game which is based on Japanese history."
- "Being based on history, the stages of the game will also be based on famous battles which took -- actually took place in ancient Japan."
- "So here's this Giant Enemy Crab."
- "I'll flip it on its back."
- "And you attack its weakpoint for massive damage."
- "The team at Game Republic has come back to us with a bunch of great new features for this game. Including such features as real-time weapon change and real-time character change."
- "Which can only be made possible with the power of the PlayStation 3."
