PAX 2009 organizers have announced that Ron Gilbert will provide the keynote during the sixth annual festival September 4-6 in Washington state.

“This is an unbelievable moment for us,” said Penny Arcade’s Robert Khoo. “I wasted an entire family vacation one year trying to figure out how to win that stupid spitting competition [in Monkey Island].”

The Computer Hall of Fame inductee has created Maniac Mansion, the first two installments in the Monkey Island series, has a career spanning over 20 years in the industry, has founding three gaming studios, and created the SCUMM scripting language.

Currently, Gilbert is creative director at Hothead Games.
