Keynote by John Carmack at Oculus Connect 2014

Here you go: link to this video I thought it was a really interesting talk - he's a great speaker. Can really tell how well he knows what he's talking about, lots of information really clearly described and easy to follow.

Is it recorded anywhere? I'd love to watch it. Edit: I found it at link to this video . And the original source points to link .

Absolutely agreed on the mental processing speed and acute awareness of smaller details. Look at this point in the video:- link to this video He has just opened the floor for questions, and the questioner does not have a microphone and hence audience cannot hear the question. John starts answering the question, but immediately recognizes the situation and then repeats the question for his audience.

For something like a decade (2004~2005 until 2013), Carmack gave a fluent hours-long speech/discussion/brain-dump at QuakeCon. I doubt a few minutes's speech is something he needs "plenty of time to prepare and rehearse" for at this point.
