Pinguin14: "...but how does he have anything to do with bioshock?... i'm confused." Dude...he's basically the guy that made Bioshock. And he loves Total War!!!

lol this guy's funny. but how does he have anything to do with bioshock?... i'm confused.

heh. I didn't even intend to listen to the whole thing but I found myself letting it play until it was done.

LOL first person in history to call a crowd a big group of nerds and get a round of applause

Hell I couldn't have laughed more. Heck of a speech.

LOL! Props to Star Control - kickass!!!

Awsome speech...... hes totally right abut all of it.

this guys awesome, bioshock was amazing, best game ever imo.

very poignant speech. i enjoyed it alot. i dont even know who this guy is, but i enjoyed it. so he cursed alot, who cares? he didnt curse enough, imo.

did he say i feel pretty f***ing good about my self at the beginning of the speech

Brilliant!

awesome

"I saw dozens of happy nerds, at peace with themselves and each other, knowing that they had found a place where the things that had once rendered them different and strange now made them completely and forever, at home" ... great keynote!

Ken Levine became a legend in my book the moment I played System Shock 2

So glad I watched this. I can definately relate to him, just in a different age group. But it's all still the same, lol.

"When the dark lord of the sith offers you five.... you give him five!" Awesome.

Excellent speach, very well spoken by Ken Levine Seriously awesome and true speach

Absolutely beautiful--Genuine, heartfelt, self-assured, and almost too familiar to me as a fellow 39 year-old...:-)

best speech ever...

bioshock was incredible ..in my opinion

lol @ Telekenesis123 I never felt the need to watch these full length speeches but I'm glad I watched this one.

Great speach very funny

Most times I probably would, but thats whats great about people, were all different and were not all thinking about the same things at the same time.

@Telekenesis123 - Yeah, but a 30 minute speech where maybe a few seconds total is talking about being Jewish. So somehow this tiny 0.08% of his speech bothered you SO MUCH you had to slam him for it, ignoring all the great parts. Personally, the speech, the stories, the message, was funny, well-written and heartfelt. It's a shame that you weren't moved to comment about the great parts instead.

That was hilarious and completely unexpected!

It was a good speech and it was funny and it also made me think of a few things about Bioshock, so what? Thats my prerogative and right, I can comment if I want. And btw juts because your Jewish does not mean you practice the religion of Judaism, so I was not dissing his religion or his race, just that im tired of Jewish people constantly bringing up their race like people really care. This does not mean I dislike Jewish people at all in fact I definitely support Isreal. I believe in equality of people and the races and sometimes I find the constant talk about im this race or that race patronizing. And sorry, but I'm not from the slime and dirt. Just because I make a point about a related subject does not mean I don't understand or missed the point of everything else in the speech.

Best keynote of all time.

I'm so glad that you came up from the depths of slime and dirt to join us, Telekenesis. I'm glad you missed the entire point of the speech. Oh, oh. Focus on Bioshock (by the way, that's only your opinion) and his religious background? Ignore the story of unity and coming together, of the history and evolution of a fellow "nerd" from a shamed existance to one of the most celebrated people in our culture? Great. I'm glad you chose yourself to be some kind of "champion" to bring down the "big bad" off the high horse. That keeps you away from anything that matters or is important. Great speech, Levine. You're an inspiration and I enjoyed your story. It's great to find a place where we can feel welcomed.

bioahock is a game about choices and story not gunplay heeh this guy knows how to put up a show!

LOL that was well funny!

Sorry guy, but Bioshock isn't THAT good, the gunplay is pretty weak, here is no enemy variety and its a dumbed down version of System Shock, but it made you money, so your happy but educated gamers know. Maybe Bioshock 2 will be more complex, my bets are it will be better, cause you got a good thing going, but dont kid yourself. And btw noone give a S that your Jewish so stop bringing it up and come back down to our level.

i can totally see where he comes from, but from a different age and generation. i would be the happiest ever if i landed a fantastic job at the end of my degree and honours course of computer games techology :)

awesome

haha hes so funny tho this is great

lol. Levine is totally nuts

lol, that dude was actually funny as hell. usually presenters arn't that funny at all
