Keynote by John Carmack at Oculus Connect 2014

Here you go: ▶ 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.

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.

Is it recorded anywhere? I'd love to watch it. Edit: I found it at ▶ 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:- ▶ 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.
