I can die happy
Chad Concelmo 07.16.08 - 2:17 PM	91 comments

Yes, I know I am making a ridiculously goofy face (I wasn't ready for the picture), but I don't care.

I GOT TO TOUCH MIYAMOTO!

In all seriousness, this is one of the highlights of my entire life. If I wasn't grinning from ear to ear right now, I would probably be crying uncontrollably from happiness.

This has been an amazing day.

I am so happy. :) :) :)

is it true that once touched, your face is no longer capable of frowning?

I wish I could've been there! I could cross off so many things do to on my "things to do before I die" list
-Meet and touch Shigeru Miyamoto
-Meet and touch Chad Concelmo
-Meet and touch a member of RetroforceGO!
A few examples of what I wish to do. SO JEALOUS!

I'm surprised Workman didn't turn to dust, leaving behind only a 360 armband after touching Miyamoto.

Where did you touch him?

ChrisFurniss says:
(# 35) on 07/16/2008 15:14

yay! I have touched two out of three of the people in the picture, does that make me famous, too?

nicojay says:
(# 36) on 07/16/2008 15:15

So I guess the only thing that could top this would be you and miyamoto riding dolphins into the sunset.

king3vbo says:
(# 37) on 07/16/2008 15:16

So Chad, if I touch you, does that mean, through proxy, that I touched Shiggy?

Damn that was a lot of commas

Tactix says:
(# 38) on 07/16/2008 15:18

Wow, Chad...thats awesome! Can I touch you next time we meet so that I can touch a man who has touched Miyamoto?

NihonTiger90 says:
(# 42) on 07/16/2008 15:26

I felt this through my BFF connection with you. It was the best feeling of all time.

Now, if only I could meet the man in person...

coonskin05 says:
(# 43) on 07/16/2008 15:29

Wow Chad, my cock is throbbing in envy. But I'm more happy for you than I am envious of you. That is truly amazing. :)

T-rav says:
(# 44) on 07/16/2008 15:32

What...what does he feel like?

ParaParaKing says:
(# 45) on 07/16/2008 15:32

necrozen says:
(# 58) on 07/16/2008 16:56

That is so cool, man.

And the others in the comments have made me curious? What does he smell like? Hopefully not mushrooms.

DynamicSheep says:
(# 59) on 07/16/2008 17:01

Did Ron know who that "donkey kong guy" was this time?

Demios says:
(# 60) on 07/16/2008 17:53

Corak says:
(# 64) on 07/16/2008 18:30

Awesome dude, I envy you so much right now. Him and Kojima are the 2 guys I'd love to meet.

naia-the-gamer says:
(# 71) on 07/16/2008 22:52

That's so awesome! I saw him at GDC a few years ago, but I didn't get to talk to him, and certainly not touch him.

You're very lucky :D
