It's been a pretty appalling year, in a lot of different ways. There's so much in the news with the power to get us down. But we must rise above the negativity and look at the world through different eyes for 2021. Lets tie this one up in good humour then, shall we? This holiday season, across PC Gamer, we're looking back at some of the coolest stuff that came out this year and talking about what made it so good. But trying to remember the exact names of different bits of tech is tough, so sometimes we end up getting accidentally or deliberately renaming them. Why? Because hardware manufacturers and their marketing departments can be pretentious as all hell, and well… why the hell not? Seems like we need a giggle, so here you go, a glimpse into the PCG hardware hivemind. When you forget the actual convoluted marketing name for a bit of tech, maybe you'll remember these instead: Better names for stuff, PCG style.
