As you guys know, I was a staff writer for a very prominent gaming blog for a while. As such, I spent just as much time in Photoshop as I did my word processor and like most folks in my position, I just couldn't seem to keep Peter Moore out of the equation. I knew he read our site and so I always looked forward to meeting him, but I always seemed to miss my opportunity.
EA held an event in San Francisco tonight, focusing on their sports line-up so naturally, Peter was there. My boss ushers me up to him and says, "I'd like to introduce you to someone. This here is Jared-"
"Hey Jared!" shouts Peter, "Great to meet you!"
He takes my hand and completely obliterates it in his own. My eyes widen and with each crack of cartilege, I realize that I am shaking a hand that has shook the world.
"Holy ****!" I yelp, "That's one strong-ass shake!"
"That's how you've got to do it," he tells me. Again, he grabs my hand and proceeds to grind up what's left of my bones into paste. "You've got to have a strong grip! That way the men will respect you and the women will love you for it."
He winks.
"Well, the women, not so much, but you've got to impress the guys."
I tell him about what I've done with his digital face and he fondly recalls the time when I made a Valentine's Day card out of his infamous tattoo and thanks me for the hard work. And my Mom said I'd never get anywhere with these video games.
