Peeing Next to Bill Gates

So Bill Gates gave his last keynote. End of an era! But what about the man? Some of you would like to know more. We've run loads of creepy KotakuStalku posts, but this has to be one of the creepier. (Oh goodie!) France's most famous blogger Loic Le Meur dishes to Shiny Shiny's Kat about the time he took a whiz next to Microsoft honcho Bill Gates at another conference. Le Meur says:

You know what I'll tell you. I will look like I'm full of shit if I tell you... I went to the bathroom, and the person next to me was Bill Gates. So, I had more than eye contact. Well, no contact. No, no, there wasn't any contact, right. But, you know, it's kind of a weird situation. You're kinda like, 'I know this guy.' There was no bodyguard or nothing there... That's a true story.

True or not, we take this as startling evidence that Bill Gates is in fact human.

Dude Met Uwe Boll and Lived to Tell

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Kotakuite Trencher has done us and humanity a huge favor. He met "filmmaker" Uwe Boll, so we don't have to. After getting free tickets from his local comic book shop, Trencher attended the Canadian Postal premiere. What did he think of the flick? "I definitely wouldn't put this on my 'must see' list," Trencher writes, "but it's a good movie to see with a bunch of buddies or a large 'geek' crowd." More, importantly, how was Boll? He tell you to go fuck your mom? Punch you in the chopper? Trencher writes:

...as i walked in the door Uwe Boll was standing right there. So i had to go over and say hi, i grabbed the attached pic of myself and him and made sure to thank him for pissing off videogame fans everywhere. He mubbled something in German and i heard a few shit and fucks coming out his mouth. ...he is quite a nice guy. I picked up his autograph and walked into the theatre.

There you go. Posing for pics and signing autographs, Boll is beautiful human. See, it's just that he's misunderstood by the gaming public. That, and he makes shit films.

Latest by FlapjacksAreTasty: The thing I don't get about Uwe is how he can make a comedy, and be so utterly humorless about it. "LOOK AT MY GENIUS FUNNY FILM! LAUGH OR I WILL TELL YOU TO SHTUP YOUR MOTHER!" more »

Inafune Up Close

So today, Mega Man/Dead Rising/Lost Planet dude Keiji Inafune made an appearance at the GameStop on Broadway in New York City. Kotakuite Samuel was the first in line, getting there way before anyone else and worrying about whether anyone would actually save his place should he need to take a leak. Being the first in line meant that he'd have first crack at Inafune — perhaps catch him off-guard and ask him when they're going to start making Dead Rising 2. He'd never see that one coming! Samuel writes:

I asked Inafune-san a question,
so I'll quote myself and him verbatim:

Uwe Boll Lives and Breathes Among Us

Uwe Boll is not a figment of your imagination or a piece of undigested pork. He is very real. If his shoddy motion pictures are not proof enough, then listen to Kotakuite Dane:


On Thursday at the comic-con my brother and I wear walking to the hospitality suite in the nearby Marriott hotel when I noticed an older man in an expensive suit standing next to some black car. I found him to seem strangely out of place, and thought "hey, it's a guy-in-a-suit"(In a slightly pejorative fashion). After I passed the man I hear someone come up to the vehicle; feeling curious, I turned to look,only to see everyone's least favorite director of videogame-to-movie adoptions, Uwe Boll. He expressed relief to the old man, whom I assume was his chauffeur, and quickly entered the car. I pulled out my camera to take a picture, however it takes about five seconds for the camera to start up, and by that time Uwe was already in the car with the door closed. While such a picture would be of little value, I suppose I figured it would have been nice to have a picture to go with this email.

Haven't done a Kotaku Stalku in donkey's yonks, so I was elated to get this tip. At first though, I thought this person might be lying, but then realized: who would actually lie about seeing Uwe Boll?

Yes. That is a duck wearing a jester hat in the picture.

Jallard, Wear That Wig!

Capcom On Clover Closing

Capcom has supplied game site Next Generation with a Q&A which hopefully clear up some of the confusion (and heartbreak) regarding Clover Studio's shuttering. Capcom states that the subsidiary was liquidated because it would be better to have all the R&D resources in a single company. The fifteen staff members still working in Clover Studio will be transfered to Capcom R&D. Moreover, all the Clover copyrights will revert to Capcom. More »

TGS06: J, Please Stop Blocking Our Phone Calls

When Microsoft's eXtreme hipster J Allard said we were "kinda creepy," he had underestimated us. We are totally creepy. There are four of us staking out four different hotels in the greater Tokyo area, waiting for a glimpse of J's shiny noggin, searching for the scent of his pricey trainers. Mike, thought he had found Allard, only to have his heart broken. Repeatedly. Brian Ashcraft More »

J Allard On Kotaku: "Creepy"

We like J ("No Period") Allard. A lot. At E3, we made sure to book the same hotel and followed him closely. For days. When he gained weight and started to look like Uncle Fester, we worried. So we were so OMG jealous when Gizmodo's Brian Lam interviewed the eXtreme dude on Microsoft's new music player. We did what anyone would and immediately scanned the interview for the part where J talked about us: More »
