Bruce Straley

... ~~that the stance Bruce Straley (pictured) used on stage at E3 2012 became an Internet meme known as "The Bruce"~~?

ALT1:... that Bruce Straley (pictured) and Neil Druckmann worked so closely on Uncharted 2 and The Last of Us that they described their relationship as "like a marriage"?
ALT2:... that game director Bruce Straley (pictured) undertook roles during the development of The Last of Us that one of the developers called "an intern task"?

Length is fine, GA date is verified, citations are plentiful, tone is neutral, and prose appears free from of close paraphrasing. QPQ completed. I've struck the original hook as I can find no evidence that "The Bruce" was ever an actual internet meme. Fact is cited to subject's employer's website and includes only photos taken at the event where he made this pose. No evidence that this "meme" went beyond a few folks at one event or that even these were particularly widespread enough to earn meme status. I have corrected an apparent typo in ALT1 to match the cited text and reference. ALT2 checks out okay. Both alt hooks are of proper length and tome. Good to go for alt hooks only. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dravecky (talk • contribs) 22:55, 10 August 2015‎ (UTC)
