I bloody love Shigeru Miyamoto. I really bloody love him. It's not just that he's created some of the finest-crafted, wittily-designed, overall wonderful games in history. It's not just that his eight and sixteen-bit Mario games absolutely shaped my early gaming years. It's also the fact the he's been responsible for some of the most downright brilliantly batshit photos in the history of the whole of the games industry.
Miyamoto, you see, has two amazing personal traits that no-one else in gaming matches. He has a lunatic willingness to get publicly involved in any nonsensical situation whatsoever, and he has one of those effortlessly expressive faces that drops bombs of comedy gold all day every day whether he's intending to or not. So I've trawled the internet and grabbed every amazing Miyamoto photo I could find. There are a lot of them. 42 to be precise. They're all amazing. Enjoy.
