Back when you were a kid, did you ever know adults that didn't care about video games that always called every console a Nintendo or a Sega no matter what it was?
I most certainly did. But the worst offense to me in my childhood, was how every adult I knew called them "Engine Turtles."
"You want some Engine Turtles for Christmas?" I was like, "Nah, just some shotgun shells so I can shoot myself in the face for the way that everyone says ninja turtles. Thanks."

Still to this day, every once in awhile, I'll hear someone call a controller a paddle. It makes me laugh not really in a mocking way (it IS an old school term), I just can't believe some people still call them that.

What about when adults used to call Nintendo and Genesis cartridges "tapes". Ugghhh, I used to get so annoyed. Now, I do it to mock flea market vendors (in a silly way, not to be rude or condesending). I'll walk up to a vendor and ask if they have Intendoh Tapes.

when I was little, probably 3 or 4 years old, I loved the ninja turtles but couldn't properly pronounce the name, I just called them the Inja Turtles.
This isn't really a video game find, but my parts that I ordered for the Sega Genesis S-video mod came today and the installation only took 10 minutes tops to finish. What do people usually charge for this? I was thinking $15 plus parts for members here. I see they sell on Ebay for $60 or so. There's really nothing to it.
