I just came across some video of my PAX keynote:
This is me talking about the first time I played NES, with my brother, in a department store. It contains what is probably my favorite line of the entire keynote.
I watched a lot of video from PAX while I was supposed to be working on my GiR today (which actually makes sense, and fits this week’s column) and was viscerally reminded of how much fun I had there. If you can only attend one convention a year, make it PAX. Trust me.

I lol’d….. again.
What happened to working on your Datalore entry for TV Squad? You got my hopes up a few weeks ago when you mentioned it.
Awesome!! I checked out several other video excerpts of you at PAX from ‘kyouteki’, as well as the one from ‘markeedragon’, and I am so jealous I was not there… sigh…
Loved the short clip there of your keynote speech, it was funny and nostalgic at the same time.
Just out of curiosity, it is next week and was anxiously anticipating placing an order for a hard copy……….just wondering do you think that will be up soon? I will be on vacation next week in So. Cali and didn’t want to miss an opportunity to get one.
You made me laugh so much during this speech. You are just so dam funny and witty; a true performer you are, Wheaton. You are one of a kind, and you be sure that you stay around for many more years to come.
Whoo! I knew it was a good idea to get up close with my video camera. Thanks for embedding my video, Wil!
I loved this Keynote speech. Very VERY well done.
ah, Wil!!! this was awesome! My 11 yr old son/Nintendo fan watched it together. He laughed! Man, you’re playing to the 11 yr olds!
Yes! awesome! the way the audience was responding must have felt great. It’s fun to get a taste of what it was like to be there…
I love listening to you speak. Sounds like this was a great one!
That was awesome.
If you are ever in the UK … I am so going to try and see you… I would have loved to have listened to you for hours!
LOL! Awesome! Would love to hear you speak live and in person some day!
That was so funny!
You are seriously my favorite geek.
Beauty!!
Awesome and funny…you look like you had a great time with that speech!
I haven’t seen you speak before. You’re very engaging. That last line was so funny. Actually, the whole thing had me at least smiling and usually lol-ing. By the way, I love the Nolan and D&D girl thing. My husband took me to a D&D gathering for the first time. I was the only girl and they were stunned that I enjoyed playing.
That was a great keynote, Wil. I enjoyed the audio that came out a few weeks ago, and I enjoyed it again watching this video snippet just now.
That was great! A good giggle to start my day!
Soooooo….
What was your favorite line? I’m thinking “Golf is lame.” I LOLed, although not just at that.
That was one of the best things I’ve seen!! You give a great speech! It brings back memories of my lil brother and I playing NES in the electronics section of Toy R Us, but with us it was always Super Mario all the way! Thanks for make me smile today ^_^
Man, I live so close to where PAX was and couldnt go….next time…
Wil, you are, quite simply, one of the funniest people on the face of the earth. We are not worthy, man. We are not worthy.
I found more of this speech on youtube and it has to be the best speech iv’e ever heard! Plus dude I’ve got the same Threadless shirt! It’s my fave!
Posted 10/29/2007 – Aint It Cool News had a contest to win a Wii. The person who sent in a video that was video game related would win. This is the winning video. It was sent in by Mr. Alrik Bursell and he interviews his dad on how playing video games with his son was the greatest video game achievement. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/34599

I could say that I am too lazy to embed the video and that would be correct. Head over there and watch it, though; its wonderful. I had a good laugh.
