And I just realized that Spielburg looks a lot like a teacher I had in college.

These pics are awesome, at any rate. Speilberg looks genuinely pleased with the game, and for some reason I always love pictures of Miyamoto. He's always so happy.

So happy.

Oh. Well then I guess he's a lazy SOB who never marks assignments and thus gives his students no indication of how well they're doing. You hear that, Spielburg! Get your lazy ass off your goat farm and mark my assignment you dick!

No hairy arms with grey hair.
