Remember 1992? Of course you do. It was the year your Nintendo occasionally decided to be uncooperative. And it was usually as inconvenient as possible. Like, when you were going to have a Tecmo Super Bowl tournament in your basement (or whatever). Anyway, when that little bastard wouldn't work--when the power button was blinking for seemingly no reason--there was always a Plan B. And a Plan C, a Plan F and a Plan Q. Everyone had their own method of getting the Nintendo to work, and one way or another--come hell or high water, Plan F or Plan Q--we always got that thing started. The tourney always took place. And I always won. QB Eagles for life!
I'm guessing this is a universal experience with men between the ages of 23-39. If so, you'll likely enjoy my latest podcast with Craig. I've been fairly clever naming these things lately, which is why I went with "this is how you get your nintendo to work" for the title of our most recent Idiot Session.
Listen. Tell friends.

1) Blow in the cartridge. This was usually a fast sweeping blow from one side to the other. It must be a powerful yet dry blow, for if we accidentally spit in there the consequences would be >= dividing by zero.
2) Blow in the NES. This never actually helped but it was always step 2.
3) Press down on the game cartridge lightly. Like anal sex, we knew it would never work if we just jammed it in. You had to start out gently and work your way harder and harder until, hopefully, you would see the title screen.
4) Try a different game. Maybe it's the game...
5) Nope, it's not just the game. Let's go back to step 1 again but this time try blowing much better than last time.
6) Cry
7) Here, you try.
8) You are doing it wrong. Let me try again.
9) IT'S WORKING!!! I have no idea what we just did but it's working! Let's never turn our NES off ever again!
10) Lose to Brad.
