Larry Chiang knows how to handle failure, hardship and disappointment almost better than the Indian orphans in Slumdog Millionaire. Before coming to SF, Larry had an unsuccessful stint in Hollywood. He’s been unsuccessful at athletics too, but one thing he is good at is confessing and granularly showing what works. If you liked “The Art of Being a Booth Babe” and “How to Work a Conference As a Hottie”, you’ll love this pre- post: “How to Get Yourself Into a Video Game”.
San Francisco CA — April 2nd —
By Larry Chiang
The end-all-be-all in athletics is to be in a video game.
Sports agents will tease their clients and dangle visions of getting featured in a video game. I took those musings and I did something about it. I set out as a goal to get into a video game.
Experience?!
With my experience as a loser in Hollywood (google USC, Larry Chiang) and my athletic experience (MSN, “high school hero, college zero”)
While I realize that this day is April Fools… I am first doing a proof. Proof that I really am in a video game called “Dead Rising” before showing exactly how I hacked in.
Memorable quotes from Dead Risinghttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0837114/quotes
[Larry drags the wounded Carlito with a meathook into the slaughterhouse and after he hangs Carlito to the upper conveyer belt, Larry looks at Carlito as he is about to do something gruesome to Carlito. As he laughs, he noticed Frank who appeared at the scene]
Larry Chiang: Ah, a customer. Ah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah…!
[as Larry continues to laugh]
Frank West: [pointing at Carlito who is hung to the upper conveyor belt] That guy, over there… I-I mean, uh… that meat… um…
Larry Chiang: Oh? This is good meat, eh? I just got it here. It fresh. Hah, hah, hah, hah…! You just wait right there, sir. In a moment, you can try the best ground meat you’ve ever tasted. Ah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah…!
[Larry continues to laugh]
Frank West: Whoa… Ground? Wait a minute. Listen. I had something else in mind…
Larry Chiang: Zombies are no good! I can’t serve my customers spoiled meat like that. I… have a reputation to uphold!
[Larry continues laughing as the camera shows a tattoo of a kanji on the back of his neck]
Larry Chiang: Trust me. I’m a butcher! I’ve got the best meat in town!
[Larry continues to laugh as he turns on the conveyer belt that Carlito is hung up to]
