Hi all, there's a new Doug TenNapel web comic that's just gone up, Nnewts. I loved Ratfist, and I'm excited to see where this new adventure will take us. If you like TenNapel's style, you should also check out his friend Ethan Nicole as well over at Bearmaggedon. These guys both offer something fresh and different from the normal super-hero schtick and I've loved following their work over the years. If you like comics, but are tired of the "same-old, same-old" give these two a shot.
I got my Super Nintendo Entertainment System when I was eleven years old. That's a couple years after it first came out. The occasion was a little dramatic: to celebrate the end of a two-and-a-half year course of treatment for cancer. I had no idea that it would be waiting for me at home after the final doctors visit. It was a nice spring day, the trees were waving gently in the breeze outside the bay windows. With a cup of tea resting on the coffee table, I set down to play. What was that first game? It was The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past . Around twenty years later, my SNES still works as does that Zelda cartridge. It's been a long way from boyhood in Southern Connecticut to manhood in North Houston, but I'm still playing. Why am I still playing? There were stretches when I didn't. Many times, I've just been too busy. There were also seasons when it felt embarrassing to still be playing video games....
