Scott Jon Siegel here, from your pals over at Joystiq. Thought I'd contribute to the ol' nostalgia game. I am most definitely not above public humiliation for the sake of gamer pride: http://flickr.com/photos/testiclesgo/211938002/To quote myself: "I had one of my parents take this after I beat Super Metroid for the first time (with 93% completion! I thought I was so awesome). I'm probably ten years old in this polaroid. Remember when strategy guides were cool?"
- Anyway, someone should create a Flickr group for these pics, or at least a new tag. As of right now, this photo is the only image on flickr tagged "nerdin it up." Think about that.
Thanks, SJ! And yes, that photo is probably the most archetypical portrayal of "nerd" I have ever seen.
We should probably start thinking about compiling these into a book of retrospectives about being raised by consoles and computers. Taking ideas for the title as of now. Empty NES Syndrome springs instantly to mind.
