I'm really excited to see this game at PAX, It was my most anticipated game at last year's PAX but all I got was a poster.

Edited by KatyGaGa

holy fucking shit! thank you so much for this! I had no idea this was happening, what an awesome surprise.

Edited by Aegon

Cool beans. I remember Jeff's interview with him being really good.

Edit: Oh wow, this one's in the office.

Jeff is sporting the pebble.

Levine Beard VS Klepek Beard..........Levine wins again, Patrick keep reaching for that star though!

Posted by Yodasdarkside

Patrick, you must remove that excuse for a beard, in deference to the magnificence of Ken's.

Motherfucker is on the whirlwindest of press tours. Hope they let him sleep a little after launch.

Edited by gbrading

I still love Ken Levine. His enthusiasm is infectious. He sounds really tired here, unsurprisingly.

ken fucking levine

Edited by cooljammer00

He looks so tired. Glad they let him have a Coke and just melt into Ryan's ass groove

If you watched this, you now know why I love Ken Levine.

Edited by jper415

Very nice! Excited to check this out!

Posted by Krakn3Dfx

Ken Levine would make a great character on The Walking Dead that shows up and gets killed off in the same episode.

He's just got the red shirt look about him.

On the main page "Infinite" is spelt wrong. It is correct when you click to go to the video page but on the main site it is not.

Edited by rjayb89

For a site that focuses primarily on video content, the video player sure is shitty. I wanted to watch this on the site for once rather than downloading it and watching it through VLC, but this thing kept... wow. It's amazing really that it's so bad.

Does anyone else think Patrick came off as the little kid who kept piping in when the adults were talking?

Edited by KittyVonDoom

Is he drinking his own kool-aid now? I'm not sure that's how it works.

Also, cue Patrick interrupting guest in 3...2...

Posted by EnduranceFun

@npfeifer: Yeah, Patrick felt like a fifth wheel the whole interview.

Jeff on-point, though. Very slick performance, enjoyable discussion.

Ken's voice is eerily soothing.

Edited by MrAngryEyes

In all seriousness, Ken is super interesting

No.

Did Patrick say Planetscape or Planescape Torment?

Posted by Kingyo

This is really interesting

I have Infinite pre-ordered. TO WATCH OR NOT TO WATCH?

Jeff was great, you can tell he really wanted to go into an in depth discussion on details but couldnt. Seeing his emotion about the game has me pretty excited for it.

I can't wait to get my hands on Bioshock Infinite. Really enjoyed the "interview" or whatever this was. :)

Edited by AllanIceman

This was great! Just like the last time Jeff interviewed Ken. More Please!

Posted by Minos

Having trouble with the videoplayer.... hmmm

Posted by Bistromath

Just 40 minutes with Ken Levine, out of no where.

Posted by jeak

Does this have some spoilers in it? :s

Posted by rebgav

The facial hair on display here is tragic. Maybe if all three of them worked on one beard they could squeeze-grow a Van Dyke by E3?

Okay, now that I've got that out of my system I can enjoy the rest of this interview. It's actually quite interesting so far, if slightly awkward.

No, the spoiler is a joke about the 'shark'.

Edited by Bourbon_Warrior

Don't like having more than 1 person interviewing, takes away the flow.

For example Levine is giving his answer and Patrick interupts and answers the question himself, he should pay attention to how Jeff does it, he has been the best interviewer in the industry for a while.

Somebody has to tell Patrick, a true friend would tell him.

Posted by paulwade1984

Oh look a ken levine inteview. Don't see them absolutely fucking everywhere at the moment eh

Posted by SuperCycle

It seemed like it took forever for Patrick to bring that little discussion about the t.v show Girls back to bioshock. Seems like odd dots to try to connect.

Edited by golguin

Woah, when was this recorded? Watching it now.

Edited by zeekthegeek

I can't wait for this game about Sway

Edited by Humanity

I really love the way Jeff has been around for a while and these developers really have a connection with him where it's not just another fuck off interview.
