Warner Bros. held a press party for Lollipop Chainsaw that had Suda51 talking to the press. In a bizarre display of loose security, communication breakdown between a Japanese game developer and his American hosts, and a possible demonstration of the slovenly nature of games journalists in general, one man who was definitely not suppose to be there sat in on an interview with the No More Heroes developer.
“Suda was conducting interviews with press for most of the night. Later on in the evening a journalist from Edge arrived for what he thought was an exclusive one-on-one interview, but a second man checked in with him,” said a source. “There were plenty of drinks flowing at the event so nobody took much notice that this second ‘journalist’ was heavily soaked in beer. Warner thought the guy was with Suda’s people and the journalist seemed to assume he was with Warner.”
“He managed about 10 minutes seated with Suda, mostly stroking his chin and nodding his head,” the source added. “Eventually it became quite clear he wasn’t a journalist – he was in fact a homeless guy that managed to blag himself all the way to the interview. PR staff quietly ushered him away and Suda seemed pretty speechless about it.”
