Now you see I don't get that. I don't get how "there's nothing quite like having that information on paper".
Maps and stuff that you can have sitting next to you as you play? Sure I get that. But, why would you prefer your news to be in paper format? So you can... um... show people who honestly don't care and just humor you?
So you can hold onto that outdated preview for all eternity? "You see, it WAS going to look like this!"
Nah, news is temporary for me. I get it in my mind once and that's enough. I don't need to hold on to it in physical form. I also don't record televised news broadcasts for posterity either. I'm sure some of it is important, but unless you are specifically archiving it for the purpose of it being a public record that's easily accesible, I don't see the point.
Oh well...
You misunderstand. I'm not really talking about Nester (which I did actually like at the time, but like a lot of those lame Nintendo cartoons they had, this too was just... um... lame...). I'm actually specifically talking about specially made one panel comics where there's a kid wearing a cap that says "Sega" and an artist wearing a cap that says "Nintendo" and the kid "used blue for the water already" and the artist is like "ahahah, you idiot, I have a different shade of blue! I'm the SNES!" which is odd, because I thought he was Nintendo, but the point is it was done in the same style as a political cartoon and looking back I realize not just how stupid it was but how manipulative it was.
Anyway, you collect some odd things, but that's true of all of us here when you think about it so I can't judge.

Quote:But Nester was great! Removing him was another bad thing they did as the years progressed. Along with ditching the regular monthly serial comics...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
