Meeting Kojima (Only Signing Sleeves, No Pics Allowed)

So the Metal Gear Solid World Tour has kicked off! And how was it?


Whilst he was waiting, he readied his Metal Gear Solid collection to get signed.
He went up on the platform where it was his turn to get his sleeve signed. He get his collection out, only to be told by some random HMV employee who was supervising the signing that he was only allowed to get the sleeve signed. He didn't know how to take it. So he just took out his sleeve, got it signed and shook Hideo Kojima, Yoji Shinkawa and Yumi Kikuchi (Raging Raven) hands. Which kind of made it better.
He wanted to take a quick picture of him with Hideo Kojima, so he shook Hideo's hand whilst his brother who came with him took a picture. For some reason, the man supervising the singing on the platform tried to stop his brother taking the picture, saying that no pictures allowed. But luckily his brother managed to take the picture before he could stop him. So now he couldn't take a picture of his brother and Hideo, which could be the first and last time they meet
Very disappointing. He traveled such a long way, carried a very heavy bag of MGS games for nothing? It could be the last time he meets the man, and he has already gone through a long process of waiting, might as well sign all the games and let him at least take a decent picture.
