Some Neat Drawings from Shuhei Yoshida's Miiverse Profile
Shuhei Yoshida, President of Worldwide Studios for Sony Computer Entertainment Incorporated and one of my favorite people in the industry, posted on his Twitter yesterday that he got a Wii U. Of course, this confused (and even angered) some of his followers as to why someone who works for Sony (and in such a powerful position) would buy a Nintendo console. Before responding to those people, however, he posted up his Nintendo Network ID so people could send him friend requests in order to test out the Miiverse's Activity Feed. Though friending him is now disabled, anyone interested in following him can do so by searching for ShuYoshida. The only message from Yoshida currently is a drawing he posted on the Nintendo Land Community board, which his many followers decided to add to by drawing some things of their own. Here are some of my favorites!:
It's certainly one of the more fun ways for people to request games be made.
The Art of Video Games: The Guestbook
I went to The Art of Video Games exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. yesterday with my brother. I'll upload more of the video we took when I get back from the two-week road trip I'm leaving for tomorrow, but I wanted to show off one of my favorite things at the exhibit: the guestbook. This guestbook was laid out for visitors to sign just a few days before on August 30th, and it already had quite a few people write in it. There are a lot of nice messages in there, along with people mentioning their favorite games or drawing their most beloved characters. It's a little lengthy, but I recommend checking it out to see what fellow enthusiasts had to say about the exhibit and video games in general. You can see my brother and I put our own messages in at the end.
I didn't see any mentions of Giant Bomb in there (I'll do that when I return to the exhibit later this month), but someone did draw the NeoGAF logo!
Go to the 15:00 mark for my hilarious suggestions for what my brother should write.
