For the most part, I imagine most of us don't bother cleaning carts unless we're going to keep them for ourselves.

FTFY

Haha seriously. I mean, honestly I've gotten to the point where (especially if it's an nes game) I don't even bother putting into my system until I clean it. That doesn't mean that it won't play if I don't clean it or there's anything wrong with it. I just like them to be clean to keep from junk building up in the actual cartridge slot on the system. I want my systems to be healthy and live as long as life as possible with me. haha

My USB is acting up again.

On my Windows 7 PC (that I built) my USB ports will some times go crazy. It happened at least once before that I recall. The first time I noticed it was when my printer didn't wanna print. Everything is normal up until the printer starts printing, a second after it starts printing it stalls and never resumes.

The problem magically went away, but now I'm experiencing it again. The printer is doing the same thing, and I noticed some other devices doing wacky things as well. My mp3 player wont connect properly. It shows up in My Computer, but I can't browse it like I normally can. I get similar results when I plug my USB stick in, the normal pop up doesn't come up (choose an action). I can see it in My Computer, but when I go into it it shows the drive as empty. I tested my mp3 on another computer and it works fine, so I know it's not the device's fault.

What's weird though is that my mouse works fine, which is USB. My Smart Joy SNES USB adapter works fine too. And when I plug my digital camera in, it works fine as well. So I don't know, some times my computer just doesn't like some USB devices.

It's wacky. I don't know if it's a bug in 7, some kind of driver problem, or some kind of hardware malfunction. I haven't really bothered to Google it though. I guess I'm hoping it will fix itself like last time.

Indeed. I clean every game, system, and controller that passes through or stays with me unless it is already obviously immaculate. And I do mean a full clean.

For only the best cleans, Hobie recommends:

I fought a Marine last night and it was glorious. I feel like I got hit by a truck and then had my rib cage repeatedly smashed with a baseball bat, but it was worth it.

This demands further explanation...

You know what'd be cool?

An 3D HD remake of Donkey Kong Country using the original models that were used to create the old sprites;.

Only if the gameplay was 2D.

Of course. I'm saying the game-play, etc would be identical, just using the actual original character models etc instead of the sprites made from them.
