Actually, he invaded in the summer. The Russians just delayed him long enough for winter to set in and the more experienced reinforcements from Siberia to arrive so they could kick the crap out of the Germans' ill-equipped troops. And yes, even Napoleon launched his invasion in June.

Wasn't it the Greeks who delayed the Germans?

Never owned a console in my life, but I assume the picture depicts trying to blow the dust out of the contacts so that it will plug in without issues?

True, but the problem is, saliva would get on the contacts over time and rust the 72-pin connector!!! Kids across America did that, and the games would end up not playing over time even worse! LOL
