You've all seen it a million times. The .gif file featuring Nintendo champions Miyamoto and Iwata-san, sharing a DS, enjoying the spoils of victory. You might think it's cute. Might find it endearing. Shit, you might hate Nintendo and find it utterly insufferable. Whatever your thoughts on both the .gif and its subject matter, however, you probably don't know the whole story behind it.

This comic, and more that are just as great, can be found on John Pading's 1UP blog page.
