I use "the Mom test" because she never plays games and calls my Playstation 3 "his new Nintendo" because that is what games are played on, "Nintendos".

She would not have heard of 99% of all game characters, and she knows who Mario is and could identify and describe him. He is not just a gaming icon, he's a cultural one.
