It's only bloody Elliot Coll, the man behind the YouTube channel The Retro Future! Which if you're not familiar is a fantastic YouTube channel based around Game Boys and other handheld gaming joys. He unearths rarities and has also carried out some very... interesting modifications.

A personal favourite of mine is when he elongated a Game Boy for no reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zPehVx_J0M

You were talking about names of products you can't pronounce, and then you mentioned Cex. I've not finished listening yet so sorry if you mention this later on, but for some bizarre (presumably "edgy"?) reason the official pronunciation of Cex is actually "sex". Personally I just enjoy fully embracing the silliness and calling it "the Cex shop".

Elliott has one of the absolute best Youtube channels, and his restorations and attention to detail is museum quality. I'm so glad he shares his talents with us c:

Is this by chance the same Elliott from the mysterious Peter Elliott Stuart YouTube channel? I'm still not sure if I'm allowed to send those videos to my friends, since they're impossible to find without seeing the links on your Patreon but they're not actually unlisted. Edit: Having just reached the billions discussion - The old million million has swapped with a thousand million several times, but I think it was originally French. It's also been called (confusingly) a Billiard. I think the main reason we don't use it much any more is that nobody really has a million million of anything, so it's not a number we have a practical use for outside of astronomy or pure mathematics, but several people do have a thousand million of something and that might actually come up in conversation.

Just to add even more confusion to the million/billion discussion: In German, a "million million" is still a billion, while a thousand million, which in english is referred to as a billion is called a "milliarde". Meaning that the German "billion" is actually the english "trillion".
