I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean about "gaming phrases." Are you talking about gaming terms or quotes in games? I try to avoid using too many gaming terms unless I'm around a bunch of other hardcore gamers. My audience for my reviews isn't always gamers in the know, so if I do use a term I don't think they'd know, I try to explain it. A good example is the term "Metroidvania." I don't really like that word, but it's so easy to use when describing those types of games. So if I use it in a review, I try to describe what that means, too.
As far as gaming quotes go, my brother Jeff and I still quote lines from Mega Man 8 to this day. We love the bad voice acting in that one. There's a Ratchet and Clank game where you control Captain Qwark in 2-D platform levels and one time you ride a zip line and he says, "Wheeee!" For some reason that tickled us as well so we quote that every now and then.
When my brother Jeff was a little kid, he loved to play the arcade classic game Circus Charlie. One of the things you do in that game is ride a horse, but it's such a badly drawn and animated horse it looks like a cross between a pinata and My Little Pony. You can also control the speed of the horse so one time when Jeff was making the horse go fast, I said it was a "Turbo Horse" and for some reason that cracked five year old Jeff up so much he was laughing on the floor. So to this day, every horse you can name in a video game is called Turbo Horse by us. Yes, even in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link's horse is named Turbo Horse.
Since you all are enjoying Street Fighter 6, I thought I'd share my two cents. I probably won't get the game anytime soon because I'm awful at fighting games. If the price ever goes down maybe I'll get it. My favorite SF character, Cammy, I'm not a big fan of her new outfit. I think they just gave her a new outfit so they can sell her old one as DLC and make lots of money. But I don't really care since I won't be getting the game. Cammy could be wearing her PJs for all I care. I think my favorite new character is Marisa. Not sure why. I like her red hair and she looks like she just ate a can of spinach.
