Nintendo tax 

Nintendo tax is when a multi-platform video game is priced abnormally high on all platforms as a result of also being released on a Nintendo platform.

Nintendo Switch game prices are notoriously high (called the switch tax) and Nintendo apparently requires some form of parity on prices as part of their contract. As a result, game prices seem to become inflated even on other platforms that are not Nintendo platforms.
Bob: "This game is a straight port of a ten year old game! why is it so expensive??? "
Joe: "look, it's also on the switch... "
Bob: "Ah, I see, it's the Nintendo tax."

Nintendotaku 

A portmanteau of Nintendo and otaku. A die-hard Nintendo fanboy. The typical Nintendotaku spends their days playing motion- and touch-controlled "casual" games rather than games with any depth or maturity. They are also usually very immature and refuse to acknowledge any positives of the 360, PS3, and PSP, as well as any negatives of the Wii and DS. When pressured to explain their obsessive love of the company (or their obsessive hate of its competitors), they often provide absurd reasons, such as the company's "family-friendly" nature, or the PS3 and 360 being more expensive, despite containing more features and good games than the Wii.
Fred: WII IS BEST PS3 AND 360 SUX CUZ THEY HAD EXPENSIVENESS AND MRATED GMAES AN U PAY 4 WIFI CONEKTION N THATS FAKT N TEH PPLZ WHO DISAGREES IS BLIND

Gary: Dude, stop being such a Nintendotaku.

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
