Reader Joe says that the lecture was "interesting, engaging, and a lot of fun." So he was surprised to find, while searching for pictures of himself in the audience, that Shigeru Miyamoto wasn't quite as titillated.

Yep, that's him, sitting five or so rows back apparently sleeping. Hey, that flight from Japan can be a bitch, I don't blame him. Brian Crecente
