This was a cartoon I did of the "real" Yahtzee when I saw him walking around the GDC.

Yahtzee saw it and said "oh that's good," so it's got the genuine seal of approval! :thumbsup: Can't ask for much more then that.

Wish I'd managed to be more articulate with the guy: I keep telling myself he's probably just a normal guy as suprised at his success as anyone else is, and there's no reason to be so nervous around him.

Then I would actually spy him someplace (not difficult since he's F-ing tall) and my brain would totally lock down into "OMG YAHTZEE" and spazz until I lost sight of him again.

So in the end, fangirlism won out. Sigh. Oh well. What can ya do?

Haha. It's okay. I reacted the same way when I first met the Nostalgia Critic at a convention. I just....froze up. He was so cool, I was terrified. It was AWESOME. Thankfully, he turned out to be a really nice guy, which eased the tension quite a bit.

Of course he was nice. He's from the Midwest. Everybody from the Midwest is nice. :D Though I'd geek out if I saw him too, and have to swallow an urge to declare "FOR KICKASSIA!" in front of everybody.

I suspect I have a thing for publicly humiliating those I admire.

I'm amazed people still somehow find this sketch I did on the fly two years ago.

Hey, nice.
Yahtzee mentioned this picture on an "Australian Gamer" Podcast with Yug and Matt, I'm not sure if you've heard it...

Good picture too.

That is awesome! I tried drawing him once, but I could never get the trilby right. It's cool that you met him and he liked your work. The "Yahtzee Seal of Approval" wow, that's a rare thing indeed, lol!

Most of the time, I thought how nervous I would be just to meet him; he seems so cool and so average, yet a few fans who've met him say he was very rude or just ignored them. :disbelief:

He might have just SAID he liked it so that I'd leave him alone, but I refuse to consider it because I desperately need to believe otherwise. :)

I think we should give Yahtzee a break. Tough misanthropes like him usually have big hearts that they go to great lengths to protect.

....Yeah, that was me. God help me, I'm a Scary Fan Anecdote.

My own account of the event sounds a bit different from Russ's, but I guess it doesn't matter.
