Penny Arcade today named Xbox’s Larry ‘Major Nelson’ Hryb as PAX AUS 2016’s keynote speaker.

Hryb has been with Xbox since 2003, serving as the face of all things gaming at Microsoft. He has a blog here and can be followed on Twitter here.

“As the embodiment of Xbox and Xbox Live, Major Nelson has seen it all,” said Jerry Holkins, co-founder of Penny Arcade. “I will be there with everyone else when the show kicks off, ready to absorb his wisdom.”

PAX AUS takes place over 4-6 November 2016 at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre.

Tickets are on sale here.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
