PSOnes aren't PSXs

Includes but not limited to: SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Game Gear and I guess the Virtual Boy.

My IDIOT grandmother is insane. She calls my gamesytems 'machines', thinks plugging in the genesis will start a fire, thinks eating popcorn will give you 'ammonia (it's actually pnemonia, but thats just how she spells it.
She was born in 1926 and still thinks it's that era.
PURE IDIOCY! pURE IDIOCY!!!!!!!!! she calls robots 'roboks' jesus she's dumb!

My parents usually call my stuff by their corrosponding names.

My portable is called my project. but its not finished so thats ok.

I use abbreviations for all my consoles, so its easy for them to remember(kinda).

God my mom keeps calling my DS a Gameboy, Ughhh, and my uncle refers to games systems as Playstation.

But I mean my mom will say, "Are you going to bring your Gameboy." and I keep correcting her and it still hasnt got through. I mean She Likes the DS so much that she wants her own, but she keeps calling it a gameboy.
And I think someone in my Family Thought my Friends Xbox 360 was a PS3.

Get this thread back on track or it will be closed. This is the only warning.

Yay! My thread's still alive!

Isn't the thread "on track", though? Because the topic was the mis-naming of video game consoles, and that's how it is now.

sounds like a little fanboyism, I love the 360 and Wii, just the PS3 blows and Sucks sweaty donkey balls at the same time lol.

My mom doesn't know system names. But she knows the N64 as "The one she can play tetris on." Everytime a system is mentioned, she asks the question "Is that the one that plays tetris?"
Hey, sup?
