interesting.

I know you're not supposed to blow into it, but like clockwork, every single time I have a cart game not work, the first thing I do is pull the cart out and blow on it. I don't even think about it, it's like a reflex. I have to stop myself usually, and that's if I even realize that I'm doing it.

Old habits die hard I guess.

It goes great, then they fuck up right at the end by mentioning metal polish. I mean even they wording they used betrays the stupidity of it..

non-conductive metal polish

Really? Great fucking idea guys. Let's clean the cart, then smear some non-conductive shit all over the contacts which by their difinitive function are used for conducting electrical signals between the system and the chips in the cart. Brilliant.

I wouldn't even dare consider blowing into a game or using Windex...

Not only is it bad for the game but HOBIE WILL FIND ME.

You know, people make jokes about yearly sports games just being the same with a new lick of paint.

I can't help help but wonder if whoever wrote that is a pro wrestling fan, because the fact that it is about "Little Jimmy" is a funny reference for WWE wrestling fans.
