History Webcomic / BitsAndBytes

Originally part of a gaming newsletter, it was converted into a webcomic after the newsletter was shut down with the comic now translated for all to enjoy. Updated on the Tumblr site as well as seen on megawacky's DA page.

* AllJustADream: The "Reality" arc in which Nolan supposely dreamed up the whole comic in response to his restaurant going bankrupt and having to face reality afterward [[spoiler: Turns out ''that'' was the dream as he tested out using an Oculus within the restaurant but the video game dimension made the device go screwy and put him in a coma. Gretha calls up [[VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}} Raz]] and [[VideoGame/MegaMan Dr. Light]] to help pull him out of the system.]]

* BerserkButton: Don't trick Gretha into thinking she'll get a [=PS4=], or anything valuable to gamers for that manor, then giving her a Oyua, Nolan (and later, Mario) learned this the hard way. Likewise making fun of her overbite, [[spoiler: though that was more a set to something sweeter.]]
* BigEater: VideoGame/{{Kirby}} naturally. Nolan tried to do a buffet style set up at one point and Kirby was the first to try it, take a wild guess how that turned out.
* BreakoutCharacter: Gretha according to Max, a friend saw her old design and suggested he use her. Max took such a shine to her that made her part of the cast.

* LostInTranslation: Since the comic is being translated from Spanish, there are a few times this happens. The first Christmas arc in particular suffered from it since it's meant to be told in rhyme and, as you can imagine, English and Spanish have different rhyming schemes.

* TakeThat: On some occasions such as pay to play features in main games, Kickstarter funded games, and Konami's decisions to go into Pachiko machines after their controversial firing of Hideo Kojima. Gretha is especially vindictive in a lot of these cases.

* WorkCom: Pretty much the premise, think ''Anime/{{Working}}'' only with video game characters (and less jerkass characters).

* ChristmasCake: Sort of. Gretha start feeling like this while celebrating Mario's 30th Anniversary realizing she's just as old as the Super Mario Franchise is and becomes a bit depressed. Nolan assures her he'll love her regardless of age. A hug from ''VideoGame/{{Dropsy}}'' likewise cheers her up.

* BerserkButton: Don't trick Gretha into thinking she'll get a [=PS4=] then giving her a Oyua, Nolan learned this the hard way. Likewise making fun of her overbite, [[spoiler: though that was more a set to something sweeter.]]

* DeadpanSnarker: Zess T keeping with her character from ''Paper Mario''.

* BerserkButton: Don't trick Gretha into thinking she'll get a PS4 then giving her a Oyua, Nolan learned this the hard way. Likewise making fun of her overbite, [[spoiler: though that was more a set to something sweeter.]]

* RelationshipUpgrade: Nolan and Gretha over the course of comic. Their relationship is shown very naturally with getting to know each other, becoming friends, having feelings for one another, going on a first date, having arguments and make-ups and eventually [[spoiler: Nolan asking Gretha to move in with him.]]

It follows Nolan Nett, a chef freshly graduated out of school who opens his own restaurant called Bits & Bytes. Initially as with any opening venture he finds difficulty at first as he barely got any customers. But business picked up from the most unexpected of clients: video game characters! What follows is his trials and tribulation in running an eatery with all manner of weird customers to which he's soon joined by VideoGame/CookingMama and [[VideoGame/PaperMario Zess T]] serving as fellow chefs and later a waiter named Gretha Sharp whom he's taken a fancy to.
