I used to go out with a girl called Zoe.

Turns out, her name is actually Zote.

Recently I saw someone who was having a minor freak out upon realising that it was Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition rather than Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition, and had been calling it the wrong thing for 25+ years.

That's an interesting one. I can totally understand where that comes from though; I mean "Championship Edition" makes more sense - in a way. Someone's going to tell me, now, that it's "Sega Rally Champion" instead of "Sega Rally Championship" and I'm going to lose it

Been watching too much AVGN, haven't you, uh?

Ha! It was a thing looooong before he did that episode. Though it was pretty good.

That’s nothing. I thought it was Championchip Edition for years. Years!

[Brad]

I thought it was the Champs Of The Elysees edition.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but just told my sister-in-law it's Alex Kidd not Alex THE kid. Thought about it, and pretty sure everyone I knew referred to it as Alex the kid.

Not sure if this counts but, in the ps2 era I have a vivid memory of seeing some kind of ps2 super computer in a magazine. It was a large black box with the same ps2 design. No one believes me and I've never seen or heard of it since. I'm sure I didn't make it up.

Nah, this is probably real. The PS2 comes in different varieties, such as the "TOOL" kit...



... and Sony have licenced their hardware a few times. I once heard about people buying PS3s and using them as rackmounted servers for online gaming.



It's almost certainly true.

If I recall correctly, it's because they were inexpensive, well manufactured, quite powerful for their size and very easy to replace when they failed.
