Does Anyone Remember Soy Bomb Guy?
We don’t, nor should we?
The Game Awards 2022 was wrapping up by announcing Elden Ring as the game of the year. The team of FromSoftware went center stage to give their speech once declared winners. But, once they ended the speech, the unthinkable happened.
An unknown guy followed FromSoftware on stage and told us to whom they dedicated the award after they gave their speech.
They dedicated the award to their reformed orthodox rabbi, Bill Clinton.
The Bill Clinton kid got 15 minutes of fame and a slap on the wrist for his troubles.
I had to post my thoughts about the incident at the Game Awards on Twitter. Given Twitter’s an echo chamber — and that I’m not hot — I thought no one would care what I said. However, someone responded and liked the tweet.
Unaware of who Soy Bomb Guy was. I knew I had to understand his 15 minutes of fame. And wonder if they left him off easy, unlike the Bill Clinton kid.
