Kid who baited the camera and then flashed the Free Hong Kong shirt is being floated as the same guy?

I think people are laughing because of how bizarre the entire situation was, not because of the zoomer kid.
I have never seen an award show in which this happened. This was really not well planned.

The kid crossed a line. Geoff puts on a big show that no one else comes close to pulling off. What are the chances celebrities don’t want to attend because they allowed some stranger onstage. It’s super weird and the kid comes off like he has mental health issues. He wasn’t Jim Carey or Adam Sandler funny. He was an odd ball on a social media platform.
People act like they could pull this big production off themselves. This is what gaming has to show the rest of the world.

“I’d like to dedicate this award to my reformed orthodox rabbi Bill Clinton."
The end of the show when Fromsoft people went up to accept the final award, the kid just walked up and joined them on stage. Then after they finished their speech he took the microphone and said a lame joke.

I would also like to add to this and then I’m done. The man host a good AMA before every show. He’s even answered my questions before. He spends his own money running it. He does a great job informing people about what the industry is doing. He has to smile after every single announcement because he includes everything.

Could've been worse, but it says much about what things have become in the world that we always assume the worst outcome or possibility of it, rather than it simply being a dumb kid looking for 5 seconds of fame and immortal memes(which he got).
Keighley will have far, far tighter security at the next Game Awards. He'll have to. I wouldn't be surprised if no public tickets are available, if they were this time and that's how the kid got in.

Really don't understand why some people want the kid to go to jail for a long time for pulling this off. Kudos to him for making us chuckle with such nonsense, really hope his life doesn't get screwed because he pulled this off.
Honestly the only people to blame here is the security for not vetting people that go on stage and letting a random kid stand for like four minutes behind a bunch of Japanease game devs without being allowed to use the mic and spout nonsense for all to hear. Hopefully next time they will do a better job in terms of security to avoid such incidents.... Especially considering someone with bad intentions could have done much worse in these circumstances.
Reformed Orthodox Rabbi Bill Clinton is still the true winner of tonight.

It is hilarious, but think if just how unfunny this could have been. What if he got up there to be racist instead? Or attack Miyazaki with a concealed weapon?

Twitter has already plastered him as a racist anti-semite (he's Jewish).

Finally Miyazaki knows how it feels to be invaded at your weakest moment.

Because it could have gone way differently if he had a weapon. I’m not saying we can’t have fun since everyone was unharmed, but seriously, it’s always possible a loony has it out for someone they “admire”. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Grimmie
So it’s funny, but you shouldn’t be surprised people are also disappointed that security fucked up like this.

I hear ya. But since nobody got hurt, it is pretty funny.

Could he potentially be guilty of a civil crime? The game show is big business with game companies and Geoff putting big dollars behind it. If his actions damage that in any way (no matter how small) could he end up with civil charges against him.
For example we're all talking about him instead of eldrin ring which is taking away from eldrin Ring game of the year word of mouth/marketing.

Without little quality security as a standard feature at events this would happen all day long. It could be more their fault than the kid's depending on how whacked in the head he is.

I wasn't there but I knew a man that was,
Heart of Darkness had a troubled development, but after a publisher change is was finally released.
Heart of Darkness
Heart of Darkness is a cinematic platformer video game developed by Amazing Studio. Players control a nyctophobic boy named Andy as he goes on a journey into the Darklands to rescue his dog Whisky from shadow-like spectres. Heart of Darkness suffered a protracted development cycle marked by...
So there's this game industry event in Paris and Infogrames are called up on stage to get and award/credit/sucked off but it was the publisher Virgin Games that did all the hard work and seeing how someone else was getting praised for this game when all infogrames had done is put their logo on the box pissed them off. So some of VG staff in the audience just walked up on stage with them. Nobody said anything, but also nobody knew who they were and why they were on the stage. Classic French arrogance.

The Kid is under 18 and it happened in Los Angeles. I don't think he has to worry much.

the funny thing is he jumped on stage to make a speech but all anyone understood was Bill Clinton. at least kojima and miyazaki had translators.
what a fail
he looks like he was ready to whack that kid over the head with his award.
