NBA Jam is one of my fondest memories of childhood. I sunk so many quarters into that machine that I swear I could've used that money to buy my own arcade cabinet. Of course when it finally was made for a home console I wasted no time buying it and playing the living hell out of my Sega Genesis. The flaming hoops, Tim Kitzrow shouting "Boomshakalaka!" when you dunk it, Big Head Mode, playing as then-President Clinton, it was -- at the time -- the best sports video game title at the time. Seventeen years and a few mediocre knockoffs later EA brought NBA Jam back to its glorious roots, revamping everything that made the original a classic; so why doesn't it impress me as it once did?
The Bastards are quite joyful this week, and it has nothing to do with the holidays. (That episode's in two weeks.)
After taking the week off the Bastards return refreshed and anew. Plus a lost member returns...
The Bastards manage to pull themselves away from the Black Ops to bring you another fun episode.
The Bastards may not be traveling to L.A., but they've got Hollywood on their minds.
