I think my TV is breaking, or has already broke. It won’t turn on no matter how much I press the power button. Before you ask, yes, I have gotten up and tried to physically turn it on. I think we’re gonna need something like power-supply-transistor-thingy, or something stupidly technical like that. My initial thought is to look up to the heavens shouting, “Why God?!?! WHY ME!!?!?!”, but then I think it’d be easier to just pull the other TV from the guest bedroom into our room. Of course, by easier I mean, “this isn’t really easier in any way whatsoever since the TV in the guest room weighs like 100 pounds and may be the first TV ever invented and moving it into our room is not a solution at all because it’s going to take about two days before I get pissed that our good HDTV is broken and then I’m going to have to either A: buy a new one or B: pay to get it fixed.” Yeah, I’m not really looking forward to this….

We’re going to keep this post short and sweet since it also seems like my computer is thinking about giving up on me again, sorry. As you should all remember from last week, NBA Jam was expected to make it’s glorious return to households, and exclusively on the Wii. Nothing had been announced, and it was all a bit hearsay. Well, I’m pleased to officially announce that NBA Jam is in fact returning sometime this year! Jam will apparently have a few new game modes, I don’t care about that as long as I can get my Bill Clinton on!! Actually, forget that, I hope I can get my old school on with the Charlotte Hornets and Larry “Grandmama” Johnson & Alozon “Gonzo” Mourning!! I used to seriously dominate fools with that team. They were so nasty!! If you feel like checking out the official website, you know what to do.

I’m sure you’ve figured out by now that this is a two-parter. Two-parter is jargon that we in the biz use to identify a body of work that will have not one, but two parts. It’s all very complicated and I don’t expect you to understand. I digress…The second part of this two-parter is written with a heavy heart. Nintendo has announced that they will no longer be shipping, or publishing, “Metroid Prime Trilogy”. This was a collection of an extremely fine trilogy, and one that I was incredibly excited about. It is also one that I never got around to buying. (Side note: I totally just sighed there thinking that I may have missed out on Samus and all her Prime glory…) So, if you’re like me and are lamenting the fact that you never pulled the trigger on an awesome box set, I suggest keeping an eye out at Target & Best Buy in the coming weeks, I’d imagine the remaining copies may hit clearance. In the meantime check out some gameplay of the recently killed off title. Enjoy, and stay thirsty my friends.
