Howard And Nester Comic Archive
Via Press the Buttons, a page that has scans of the classic Nintendo Power comic series Howard and Nester. From the page: "Anyone who has read Nintendo Power since its beginning has, obviously, at least glanced at the little comic strips in a couple of pages of the magazine called "Howard & Nester", which chronicled the adventures of bowtie-wearing Howard Philips (who was an actual employee of Nintendo and president of the Nintendo Fun Club at the time) and a stubborn redheaded teen named Nester." I, um, recall them being a lot funnier when I was a kid. The Maniac Mansion comic is still pretty cool, though.
This is pretty surprising.. I looked around for a notice that Nintendo or the artist had approved the mirror.. I didn't find it. Not that I think linking is wrong, but in the past, it seems like Slashdot tried not to do.
I think the great example of Nester as a poster child for Bad Gaming Attitude is lost on a lot of people who only read these when they were young. He's the original joke at the expense of the obnoxious, narcissistic gamer who cares only about showing up peers and finishing the game first. The earliest commentary on the asshole gamer.
