Boy Bill Clinton returns to present day after this failure of The Game Awards.
If we will remember The Game Awards 2022 for anything in the next few years, aside The Endless Speech by Christopher Judge when he collects his Best Performance statuette for his role as Kratos in God of War Ragnarok, it will be for the teenager who snuck onto the stage while presenting the award for the best game of the year to Elden Ring as if it were another member of the From Software team. A spontaneous knowledge of similar events that he made a joke with the name of Bill Clinyton. An unusual fact due to many factors, such as the fact that he was on stage throughout Hidetaka Miyazaki’s speech and no one had noticed that he had sneaked in.
The story doesn’t end there, because when it seemed that the whole world had forgotten about the “Bill Clinton boy”, The Game Awards organization itself did a terrible montage with Photoshop trying to erase it from a photo and the fix was clearly worse than the disease.
Graphics are my passion
This all stems from a tweet The Game Awards Twitter account posted last Thursday to celebrate From Software’s milestone the first studio to win two Game of the Year awards. So far so good, what happens is that the photo chosen to accompany the gif seems to come from one of the moments when “the boy Bill Clinton” slips into the frame, and when trying to erase it with photoshop, someone really messed it up. I mean, take a look at the picture. It shows, right?

As expected, this helped them get there dozens of messages mocking the CM’s misfortune from The Game Awards or whoever made this montage. Some quite funny, really. As a user who compared this moment to when SEGA posted a photo where he shamelessly eliminated Yuji Nakathe co-creator of Sonic, recently embroiled in some controversy.

Either way, the truth is that this year’s The Game Awards stood out from previous years. for both games and memes. We’ll see what Geoff Keighley comes up with next year.
