I missed this.....did anyone else know? http://www.joystiq.com/entry/1234000297060330/ http://www.nathansmart.com/archives/000144.html
I cried when our Nintendo Rep visited the store and told me it was the next day. ;_; I would love to meet him at least once.
yeah, but didnt want to battle the fanboys. Would it suck to tell you guys I've met and talked to him? lol
I've sent a home-made Famicom game to him (for Famicom's birthday), just to have it returned to me by clueless Nintendrones along with their latest games catalogue. :-(
Hehehe. It would've been funny if you sent them that 20 yrs ago just for them to use the idea. You would be like, "Hey, I made that!" It's happened before.......... I think. :smt082
Not as much as if I told you I've met, hung out and talked to Ryoko Hirosue :smt033 Yakumo PS: that's true by the way
The key to meeting celebs or crashing is to "act as if" I belong here I am important I am confident You (staff) are below me and I am unapproachable or not to be bothered. I don't show pics of what I look like as I do the stealth thing quite a bit. Walking in through a back door on the phone, acting as if you're important while speaking in Japanese works wonders. If someone tries to stop you, give them the "hand" or the accented "one moment" finger pose and keep talking. Act very angry. Then walk off. Kitchen staff never blink, and the security is only concerned with people coming in. Once you're out of the kitchen, you're already "in" and not on their radar. Oh yes, service elevators are great as well. Get to floor three, then go to the service elevator, down to floor one, then through the kitchen.
That is exactly why they sent it back. Better safe than sorry is the key to survival in this day and age of lawsuits and litigation.
Hehehe, found that picture of the guy asking Miyamoto to sign his PSP What a tosser. Just look at Miyamotos face :smt042 It's as if he's thinking WTF ! :smt043 Yakumo
"A recent Shigeru Miyamoto signing session in New York City almost turned a bit nasty earlier this week, when some rascal approached the Nintendo legend and asked him to sign his PSP. Miyamoto apparently looked faintly bemused for a second (see the Media Panel), then politely declined to put pen to PSP. Still, you've got to applaud the young chap who tried it for his nerve, and although his audacious bid to have his Sony handheld signed failed (imagine the eBay price), good ol' Shiggy still signed his DS for him. Bless." :funkinmu:
No he didnt sign it, he politely refused, and then the guy pulled out a DS and Shigsy signed that... If i was Shigsy i would have signed it right across the fucking screen with a sharpie and handed it back with a massive grin on my face. I know the guy was tryin to be funny, but I personally find it disrespectful to Miyamoto. It would be like getting Yuji Naka to sign a Snes during the 16bit era
