13 Biggest WTF Moments From Gamescom 2019
2. Good Old Geoff Keighley
Points need to be thrown to Geoff Keighley for the exposure he has generated for the games industry over the years, not to mention his attempts (even if mixed) to create a respectable award show for the medium.
With that said, good gracious does he make for an awkward host.
This week's event was no exception; from flubbing names to his try-hard jabs at E3, to his grating chemistry with every single person he shares the stage with (even when it's with his buddy Hideo Kojima!), there was no shortage of awkwardness on stage.
One really has to question why he insists on standing in front of the camera when he doesn't seem to enjoy it, plus his powers seem better utilised behind-the-scenes as a show producer.
The Opening Night was thankfully much better than watching him alongside Joel McHale in one of the most awkward VGX moments ever, but his oddities still stole the show on the evening.
