With all of the busyness that has been FanExpo and X07 this week, you might think we’d forgotten all about PAX. Well fear not loyal readers, we’re always happy to serve up a heaping helping of the awesome.
This morning’s awesome comes to us courtesy of out new friends over at The Closet Geek Show. CGS’s Brent has posted up an mp3 of this years PAX keynote address, given by Kevin’s own boyhood mancrush Wesley Crusher Wil Wheaton. Wil spends the better part of an hour talking about what it was like to grow up during the golden age of gaming. If you grew up in the days of arcades and Colecovision like I did, it’s one hell of a fantastic trip down memory lane. Wheaton’s a good enough story teller that it’s made me instantly put his autobiography at the top of my Christmas wishlist, right above socks and underwear — because nobody can have enough socks and underwear.
Check out the keynote over at The Closet Geek Show. My favorite part? The fact that he named his Wii “Wii-ton.”
