Bioshock’s big daddy, Ken Levine, took some time to talk to the masses about his life at the recent PAX. He tells a familiar tale of growing up with geek-tendencies, and then finding games as his place in life. It’s a story that wouldn’t have been out of place in this year’s most exciting book about videogames.
Anyway! PAX keynote beyond the jump.

(but secretly we love it)
There’s today’s lunch break entertainment sorted, cheers!
The Levine eyes… they’re back again.
@Yhancik: They never really went away. Always watching. Always… judging.
*mumbles incoherently*
That was nice.
Is it just me or is games trailers a murderously slow site to get video from.. It’s been over an hour and I’m only half way.
Annnd posting a comment just reset the video…
I give up.
Excellent, thanks! I can’t imagine a better keynote speech.
Aside from Levine randomly throwing out the word “fuck” now and then like he had some quota to fill, great speech.
Yeah, it sounded weird every time he said it.
His speech made me want to apply for a game design course at University. Weep.
Ah Ken, love you man.
More evidence that unrepentant geeks are the last kind of people who should be developing games.
That was a pretty fun speech.
I approve, he amused and entertained me prior to going to work, so winner.
Excellent speech, really, but I think he needs to work on his public speaking.
Incredibly written though, and very powerful.
Also, anyone who pronounces the word “pwn,” as “pawn,” I cannot take seriously.
He probably doesn’t have many opportunities to really practice public speaking on the sort of scale required by a PAX keynote, so it’s understandable that he may not have got it off perfectly!
Every time you post that picture, Ken Levine steals part of my soul.
He swears a bit, dunee?
Also: pwn is derived from own which is derived from owned. The O goes away.
Overdue return of the staring eyes. Did he apologise for the dog’s breakfast made of the last few bioshock levels?
You’re going to have to be a lot cleverer than that to get me to buy another copy of your book.
