Welcome to episode 145 of the NZC podcast, the official podcast of the NXC community. This podcast is recorded live every now Friday at 10 a.m. Pacific Center time on the official NZC Twitch is available to stream on demand on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and SoundCloud. My name is Mike. And with me, as always, is Ivan. How are you doing, Ivan? Well, I know you were a little under the weather after your trip, but I'm glad you're feeling better and I'm happy to be here, man. I think this might be my first podcast of 2023. Oh, it is, isn't it?

I think the last time I was on the podcast was Christmas with the Noiric Girls. Yeah, it has been a while since you've actually not been feeling under weather. So now's my turn. Seriously. But yeah, so today's podcast is going to be, just you and me answering questions from Instagram stories and the chat. And right when we went live, we got like a giant chunk of text as a question. So I feel like let's just answer that one.

And then we'll get into Instagram stories. So Ludoki says they're inquiring about some customer support. They receive their pre-built streaming plus PC Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. It started crashing. That sucks. Sorry to hear that Voduki or Vodoki. Please just message us right now your ticket number and we will follow up with the customer service team. And you should get a response later today.

Hopefully they can get it resolved for you quickly. But anyway, Mike, Instagram stories questions. We have a bunch on there. We prompted people to ask us earlier today. So we're just going to open up Instagram. on our phones here. Go right into it, right? So the first question

is from Mr. Matt Lee, the famous Mr. Matt Lee. How many H-9 stacked on top of each other would it take to achieve skyscraper status? What do you think, Mike? I mean, should we do the actual... Should we do the actual math behind it? Let's see the math.

Let me go to my, not that. Let's see here. The H9. Let me do the other one. Not I don't know, the H9 is our brand new case and it's our biggest case. So it's pretty big. So it's 495 millimeters tall with feet. Okay.

So then the average height of a skyscraper is 100 meters or 330 feet so what's that 4995 meters already confused dude all right hold on 150 oh huh so how many so meters meters point 495 0.49 595 times times what's that 150? That works. I think I'm doing the bath, right? Well, that's... How many millimeters are in one meter?

That's what I want to know. You got it there, right? I think so. I don't know if I'm doing the math right. Is that 24 of them? The answer is at least... At least two cases. At least two cases.

I have no idea, actually. I can't even do that. Let me see. God. There's a thousand millimeters and one meter. Oh, yeah. So, oh, no, I was supposed to divide it, aren't I? I don't know.

You're the recent college grad. This should be fresh in your memory, dude. I graduated college like 25 years ago. So I haven't. Oh, I think that's it. I don't know how to do math. I think that's it. 303.

Oh, there you go. Oh, there you go. All right. 303 H9 cases to make a skyscraper. Let me go ahead and if you want to get the second question, I'm going to go ahead and send over the support number over to the chat. So the next question is actually the one that most people ask for or asked, and it won't come as a shock, but it's for free computer. Like every time we tell people to ask us a question, they always say, can I have a free gaming PC?

I don't know if they're being serious or trolling, but I mean, I don't know. It's not free if someone has to pay for it. That's my motto. And I wish we can just give free computers to everyone who ask for one, but we can't. So I guess the answer to that is, no, we can't give you a free gaming PC. But what we can do is we can do giveaways every so often for free. free gaming PCs and you can answer those. And if you're lucky, then, you know, you will get a free gaming PC.

And if you're unlucky, that means the giveaway is rigged. And yeah, we just cheated and you lost that on a gaming PC. A PNW check, any idea when the H9 Elite will restock on the website? Amazon, unfortunately, lost the one that was supposed to arrive yesterday. It replaced them won't come out until the end of March slash early April. Sorry about that, PNW. should be we're hoping to restock soon i know there's a lot of global supply chain issues right now but hoping in the coming weeks it should be pretty much back to normal and we know a bunch of stuff

is out of stock because people have been asking us questions on social media about talk availability for probably honestly since i think you know like last year basically um and And, you know, stuff comes in and then it sells out really quickly and then we don't know when we're going to get more. So right now, we know stuff's out of stock and the shipping teams are trying to get stuff restocked as fast as possible. But what I like to tell people to is if you're waiting for something in particular, just please sign up for the email alerts on that product page. And then as soon as it comes back in stock, you know, you'll get alerted. That goes for everything, including the new motherboards here that Nazo Gaming is asking about. The Z790 and the B650E, which we're supposed to be available everywhere before the end of last year, and that did not happen.

They are available in certain parts of the world. There's people already out there that, you know, they've had them for like a month or so. but then there's parts of the world where they're not there yet. So that's another thing that, you know, we're basically just trying to get stuff out there as fast as possible. So we know it's been a while and, you know, we're sorry you guys have to wait, but we're doing our best to get things out there as fast as possible. What's our next question here, Mike?

Let's see. Oh, you know, we can just answer somebody's chat questions, actually. Let's see. My girlfriend is building from Space Jam on VHS. I love that name, by the way. My girlfriend is building a community and wants to become an NCC partner on Twitch.

What are your qualifications slash requirements? She applied, but there wasn't any information about it. So in reality, we don't really have a qualification or requirement. You don't need like an audience size or anything like that. We have many partners that have, you know, varying spaces of audiences

and different types of categories. You just apply to nzc.co slash partner, and we will hopefully get back to you and hopefully with good news. There is no requirement. So literally, it's just if we like you and you have an awesome audience that we'd like to sponsor you basically, then yeah, you know if you went out for that. If you go to the partner program website right there at the bottom, there's an FAQ section. And one of the questions in the FAQ is what are the program requirements? And so I'm just going to read that paragraph for you guys. It says, we are looking for partners who stream regularly, engage with their communities,

positively impact the gaming community, and maintain a strong following. There aren't any metrics to hit beyond the initial criteria to join. We just want you to be you. So Space Jam on VHS, you can tell your girlfriend, you know, to do those things, and she'll have a good shot, being an NXT partner one day. So next question, Mike. Let me see.

Let's see. Update on an ITX case anytime soon. Well, we haven't, well, there's two things. Number one, we can't tell you what new products is or is not being worked on or coming out. Look, so even if we were working on the mini ITX case and we haven't announced it, I couldn't even tell you that, right? But what I can tell you is that NST is always working on a new products, you know, and we're always improving our existing products. And we do have existing ITX cases. So it wouldn't be a shocker if, you know, NZXT released a mini ITX case, right?

So yeah, so just know we're always working on new stuff. and the product team is always trying to improve on the things we currently have. And also trying to make things we don't have yet. You know, we've entered a lot of new product categories recently. Let's see. Is there any plans to update the Cracket AIOs with the new F-Series RGB fans from PMW? What was this question? Sorry.

Is there a plan to update the Cracken AOs with the new F-Series fans? Yeah, I guess kind of, same answer I gave about the other stuff about the mini ITX is, you know, the product team's constantly trying to improve our current product lineup. So, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a new cracking with better fans like in the future as well. I just can't tell you for sure since that thing's been officially announced. But P&W, I'm sure you'll, you'll be one of the first people to know because you're always

liking our post and posting your setup so I'm sure I'm sure you'll find out as soon as that happens By the way PNW you gotta say man I really love seeing all your your Instagram reels love sharing them on Instagram

too follow PNW.com on IG what's the next question Mike? Let's see oh I got one actually and Zika RAM and GPU, he gets a lot.

You get this question a lot. Yeah. It wouldn't it cool? What do you think? I would want it to be... I don't know about graphics cards, but RAM would be pretty easy. Because I know graphics cards itself are really tough to make, but RAM wouldn't be an awful thing.

Like, it wouldn't be such a large leap, and it would be really nice to have, you know, white NXT RAM on top of a, you know, an N-7. we should do is we should we should make our RAM downloadable from CAM so you just go in CAM and just download your NST RAM how cool would that be

Download RAM Download RAM download more RAM And then RAM also ran with CAM So it kind of you know kind of fits right Just some CAM RAM What was your name for the NSXT RAM again I remember we had a name for it go go yes yeah because i i kind of missed that we used to name our like we have to crack in stuff

like i really wanted to go for like those mythological you know like uh animals that would be such a cool like that'd be such a cool like idea yeah it would be cool i just uh i mean i don't know how hard it is to make graphics card or ram or a CPU or anything like that but I'm going to guess it's really hard because there's not many companies that do that. Like compared to the amount of companies that do what we do, which is, you know, make cases, coolers,

um, fans and things like that. There's a lot more companies doing that than there are making graphics cards, you know? There's, there's literally only three companies in the entire world which are making graphics cards. So,

oh no. I mean, anything is possible. It would be cool. I know I would like to see what an NZXC GPU would look like. I'm sure it would look a lot like our other products, you know, nice and clean. It'd be nice. Yeah, a white RAM kit with RGB NZXT words on top, on top of an N7, like a white N7 in a white, like, H7 or H9 with like a white crack in Z.

That would look so sick. Each ram stick just says like one letter, N-Z-X-T. Oh, so you get like the four Rads. That would be very cool. Or if you want to get the doubles, N-Z-T, so you get the two-double, that would be kind of cool. If you're a broke boy, then you have just like N-N-X. N-X or N-Z-T. We'd be hilarious if we did make RAM and it blocked your cracking cooler on your N-7 motherboard.

Imagine. Oh, you can't install the N So it's just a ZXT And just put a big N on the Cracken I actually I actually want to get your opinion on this What do you recommend for a starting PC So my personal opinion

On this question It's The way I answer this is I actually ask a question back I'm like well what games are you playing right Because it all depends on what video games you're into and also you know what you want to do on that PC besides playing video games right so when people ask me like what kind of gaming PC should I get you know you work at a computer company you know you know you know you know everything I hope you say well what games you want to

play and if they tell me well I want to play games like um you know star do valley Uno and Jackbox with my friends I'm not going to recommend a PC with the 4090 and an I-9 literally just going to be like to just get the literally the cheapest possible

computer you can think of is going to run that stuff no problem right on the flip side if someone tells me they want to play Call of Duty Fortnite Grand Theft Auto six things like

like that, then I'm definitely going to say, well, you're probably going to have to get like, you know, a more modern GPU than if you were going to get, you know, you're going to play something older or with their credit less spec. So same thing with like a CPU, be for your CPU. And then if you know, if you want to do things like stream or edit videos and things like that, you're going to probably need a lot of RAM, beefier CPU, than beefier GPU, right? So it really depends what you're going to be using the computer for. And the way our pre-built selection is on our website is, you know, we have the starter series for people that are, you know, wanting to just get into PC gaming and don't necessarily know what,

you know, they want or maybe they just want like, you know, a basic entry-level PC. you know, we have the starter series. And then for people that want to stream, we have the streaming series. For people that want to edit and create content, we have the creator series. So we try to make it simple.

So I guess, you know, go on to the website and click around and let us know what you want to do. What do you recommend, Mike? Literally the same exact thing you said, which is it depends. It depends, tends to be like a majority of, majority of time, whatever, like, I have friends that ask, like,

hey, what should I get? I always ask them, like, well, it depends on what you want, right? So it always tends to be what you're going to do, how you're going to play, what else are you going to do with the PC? What's your budget, you know? So there's so much variables that come in whenever you make, whenever you bring in these things

that you just kind of have to figure out for yourself in reality. But if you ever do need help, there's tons of tons of forums out there. You can contact your customer support. There's tons of options out there to basically get you for you to get your answer. We just have to narrow down everything

to go from like budget, games. Do you want any specific parts? Like, do you want Intel GPU? Do you want an Intel CPU? Do you want an AMD CPU? You know, you have to figure out what exactly is your thing. Yeah.

That looks like if you don't know what you're going to do, then it becomes pressure, I guess. Hi, Pauline. Hey, Pauline. Thanks for tuning in. Okay, let's see. I actually had a good question somewhere. Let me see if I could find it.

I got one. Oh, go for it. Shibi Wiki here is asking, what do you think about releasing parts for custom water cooling set and someone up above I don't know who exactly asked it I can't find it when I scroll

but um Oh is like a custom loop right? They asked if we saw if we saw the custom crackin pump that that we posted on social and like yeah of course we saw we posted it so yeah so the answer to that is what do we think about it?

So me personally I think custom water cooling is awesome. It looks amazing. The performance obviously is unmatched. There's no better way to cool computer parts than with a custom water cooling loop. So that's my personal opinion. But on the flip side, it's also not

easy. It's also something that requires a lot of maintenance. It's something that could easily damage your computer hardware if you don't know what you're doing or even if you do know what you're doing and you just have an accident you know you can you can really do some damage so there's pros and cons to it I know the reason why on our website we don't sell custom water cooling loops is because of you know those reasons that I just gave you what make it so complicated it's you know can you imagine like getting a PC in the mail and it's just like broken and just like water everywhere.

You know, and then you know, even if you, even if you just want to buy it because it looks cool, then, you know, you're going to have to keep a really close eye on temps and change fluids and drain it and all this. It's not just like a set and a forgetta type of thing. So for me, I don't think I would ever have a custom watercooled PC, but I do like looking at them. I agree with that. A custom water cooler is not for beginners. If you have PC experience and you've built PCs before, then you guys will pretty much reach the criteria or like the bare minimum of getting custom water cooling. but you really have to keep an eye on everything because, you know, custom water cooling is not just like a standard crack in that we've always had for,

you know, the past, what, five, six, seven years now, you really have to keep an eye out for it. But if you do know it and you're comfortable and you're okay with doing it, yeah, those look awesome. This Genesis has a really good question that I want to ask. I want to ask you, Mike. What are your favorite social media campaigns that you've seen? obviously it has to be the Domino's campaign

which one well it was basically like a whole list a whole bunch of things from Domino's because remember I used to before when I was young I used to basically go to there's a Domino's right by when I did martial arts when I was young and I'll get Domino's all the time during that time when I was young that was when that video of some like a domino's employee sticking like cheese up their nose and putting on someone's order because they were being rude to them so domino's was known as like the worst pizza place of all time like

the worst of all um so that they pretty much like after a couple years they did a whole revamp they did two different things which is they physically like changed every single pizza recipe that they had. So obviously, you know, the pizza was the issue. They're going to change it. And also the second one, which I really liked was their, it was the pothole one. Do you remember that campaign? Dominoes basically would, after like a certain amount of like money or something like that,

they would fill potholes on most traveled routes for pizza because, you know, you don't want to drive, hit a pothole and your pizza gets ruined. and that was basically one of the biggest campaigns for them was basically changing their whole thing and now Domino's honestly is probably my favorite pizza place out there you're probably way too young to remember this but when you said Domino's I thought

you were going to talk about what I was thinking about for Dominoes The game Dominoes No remember you're not going to remember this the noid the Domino's Noid avoid the noid let's go on youtube and search avoid the noid

there's an old domino's commercial avoid the noid what is this avoid to the noid yeah see if you can play it on okay i'll i'll pull i'll play this real play it's old the noid hates hot quality pizza he loves to make you hot pizza ice cold Domino's pizza and avoid the noise. Ah! We keep the cold out and all this quality in.

So when you want quality pizza, hot and delicious, Domino's Pizza delivers. One call, does it all. Interesting. Very interesting. Pretty interesting mascot. Yeah, 1988, dang. So my answer to this question is my favorite social media or brand on social media is liquid death.

They make water, right? And they have like really funny and clever marketing. And recently on social, for New Year's, they told people to sign up for like text alerts so they can send you their, their, your horoscope every month. and they just sent me the February one a couple of days ago, and after I read it, I nearly spit out my coffee. It was so funny. So I'm going to read it to you. Right?

So here's my horoscope for this month. It says, Dear Scorpio, Mercury has moved into your creative zone, which will come in handy this month when you get locked up in that old man's basement. In order to escape, you'll need to get. get creative. Our tip, cut off your nipples and sew them to your hands to use as suction cups so you can climb up the wall to that open window. What the heck? So that's my horoscope. Yeah, it was like the most random,

random thing I could possibly get in the text, but that's what I love it. It's like, it's such like a weird thing that like the fact that a company sent me that like blows my mind. Because and it works because now and every time I go to the 7-Eleven or whatever, I'm always like, oh, I got to get a liquid death. You know, I got to support them because I just think what they're doing is so funny. Have you seen the Liquid Death Super Bowl commercial? Oh, not yet. Yeah, let me play this for you. It's so funny.

It's so good. They made the thing look like a beer can. entities due to, like, beating children or people, or like a pregnant woman drinking water. Such a funny. When I drink, when I drink that, people think I'm drinking beer. Everyone always asked me, are you drinking a beer? I'm like, no, it's actually water. Is it just water, or is there, like, something special about it?

It's mineral water, and then they also have sparkling water, and then they have flakening water, and then they have flavored water. So they have like four or five different types of water. Interesting. And it's really good. Like the best way I can describe it is it tastes clear. If that makes sense. It just tastes like you're drinking something that's like super clean.

Yeah. It's really good. I like it a lot. What's our next question here, Mike? What's this spec's required? what system specs are required to run a computer with two monitors? I mean, honestly, you can run two monitors on almost like any bare minimum PC. I had two monitors on like my like 2012 PC, like the old, I think it was a power spec PC.

I don't think they're even here anymore. I used to run two monitors on that. So as long as your monitors have the same outputs, or you had the same output as your graphics card. So if you have two HDMI ports in your graphics card, you'll need two HDMI ports on your monitors. And then you should be able to run two monitors. I actually run three monitors right now.

And it works out beautifully. Here's a good one for you, Mike. Mars Designs on Instagram. Ask, what does NZXT stand for? New Zealand, Xylophone television. Someone had a really good reply to that. It was, what was it? I'd have to remember it.

It was something like no, something about airflow. It was just like, I forgot about words it used, but it made me laugh. It was like the only one that left that it made me laugh. Because we recently asked that question on social. We got a lot of replies, but there was only one that made me laugh, and it was that one about airflow. I just forget what it was.

It's funny how the airfoil thing is still apparent when, even though our thermals in all of our cases are, like, big competitors to everyone now. Especially when we have three cases that are physically for airflow. It's so funny that people still think that. Funny, because the H-9 flow and the H-N-E-E-Lite, the old back panel is covered in in holes right and we posted a picture of that back panel and there was someone complaining that there was still not enough airflow and I'm like dude like the only thing that I can probably give you more airflow on that back panel is if you

just took it off like literally completely covered in holes I don't know I just feel like people will always want more airflow no matter how much how much there is oh I like that it was your It was your tweet from 2019, which was the, I Googled it and it said, N, my Z dad, X left, T, me. That wasn't even my tweet. That was, uh, I tweeted like a fill in the blank thing. And for some reason, if you Google search, what does NZXT stand for? The response is my dad left me.

I guess that's one of the, um, the responses on that tweet because I didn't tweet that. It was... Oh. I think it was a reply from someone. Oh, so it's just an SEO like that. I was like, well, I guess... There's that. Here's one for you, Mike, from Extremely Based on Instagram.

Do you like monkeys? Like Arctic monkeys? I heard the other day that chimpanzees. I think... I'm pretty sure of the chimpanzee. that it's evolved a little bit. So it's like one step closer to being human.

So I was thinking like, can you imagine if we live long enough to see chimpanzees evolved to the point where they're not necessarily human, but, you know, they're doing things like driving cars and, you know, working at grocery stores and things like that. Like how amazing would it be, man, to see that. Some monkey, like, living among us like that. I mean, have you seen those videos of, like, of, like, the monkeys doing, like, puzzles and stuff like that? They're extremely smart. Honestly, if, you know, after giving it another couple thousand years,

they probably would be able to speak, honestly, in my opinion. Maybe. What's the next question, Mike? Allie asks, is a Z-Cracken Z-73-RGB-B-White discontinued? No, it is, we're just, we will restock. There are supply chain issues happening all around the world right now. Just be patient. They will be coming back soon.

We are hoping to be back in the coming weeks or months, you know. We're just hoping that everything will be back to normal soon. They'll never. be another normal mic? Yeah. After, after COVID, I don't know why. After COVID, it just started going insanely crazy. Do you guys sponsor YouTubers?

We do. Send an email to marketing at nzixc.com if you want to make sure to give your business proposal as well. Oh, have we ever thought about producing a console or a laptop? A long time ago, NZXT made a laptop cooler. So, it was before my time. Yeah, before I worked here. It was called the cryo, cryo, I think.

Oh, the cryo E40. I think we made two different versions of these laptop coolers. So just before my time, but I'm guessing, you know, if NZXT made a laptop cooler back then, maybe they were thinking about making a laptop, but, you know, by the time I started working here, this thing was already long gone. So I, you know, we haven't made any laptop.

So I'm guessing that it's not like something we will do. But it would be cool. I wouldn't mind an NG60 laptop. Check that. You probably post a picture of that laptop cooler and see what people say. Honestly, we should. I'll just throw this in the, uh, no. Right on our spitball's cap.

Yeah. Because that sounds, that's actually kind of funny. It's actually a pretty ingenious idea, honestly. I actually like that because I know I like hot, like I have a Mac and sometimes that gets like busting hot. That actually wouldn't be a bad idea. Chick JNS is NSXE looking to refresh the Cracken G12? Hopefully.

I would love a refresher to G12, especially because, you know, these graphics cars are getting bigger, hotter, faster, more powerful. Yeah, like, Now that I'm starting to see more builds with these new graphics cards, I'm like, dude, these things are the size of cases practically at this point. They're huge.

I did not think I would see graphics parts ever be this big. They're enormous. Let me show off the post that you sent yesterday of RH9. Like, this is our biggest case that we got. And look how huge the graphics card is. in this thing. Do you guys realize this is supposed to be our biggest case and this makes it look like it's like a mid-sized

case? Like, look at this thing. This thing is so big. It's so big. That graphics card is so big that it has like a bracket to strap it on to the motherboard. Yeah, is it this thing right here?

I think it's this thing, right? And then I think of top right there, that thing too. And there were a few comments. pointing out that the motherboard was bending. I can't really see it bending, can you? I do not see

a bending at all, honestly. It doesn't look to like that to me either, but some people were saying like, look at that motherboard bend, so dude, that thing must weigh like, I don't even know like literally like a brick, man. Guys, like look, look at the

three fans right here. These three fans are the size of the graphics card itself and that's just the length not even the actual width and death of it it mother from neolinkster it may not be betting but it's crying it looks really cool i mean i think it's a cool look um just to have a giant graphic card like that but i didn't not think i would live to see the day to see a graphics card let me let me take a picture of my pc because i have a 4090 in my pc but i have a

the H5 flow. Let me take a picture of how huge this thing is. Okay, let me see if I can show it. I can't move my camera, so I have to kind of do it manually, but see if you guys can see. Change the focus on this thing.

Like, this is the graphics card. This entire thing is the case. This thing is massive. Like, can you even, like, these things are little brick. now. It's absolutely

insane. So yes, I would love a G12 because these things are just massive. The G12 will have to be extremely big, though. It'd probably be like this big because of the graphics cards. It would be like the G-1000.

Imagine how big the 49ETI will be. Yeah, true. Let's see. N-Z-C deodorant when? He should make a meme of that. N-ZX-C deodorant. We know what? We did make a meme of that. Oh, we did. With the act, you know, ax deodorant?

Yes. This was a few years ago. Something happened on Twitter. We tweeted something. Actually, I'll show you the tweet. It's a really good tweet. It got 20,000 likes. Let me show you the tweet.

you might want to show it on stream. Or I'll just drop the link in here in the chat. Everyone can check it out. But the tweet was a summoning circle with a bunch of noses. And it says, please we're deodorant at TwitchCon. And then Axe, I think, it was Axe. I think Axe quote retweeted it. And they made a, they made like a NZXT deodorant.

And we only called it NZXT. It was a long time ago. So I don't even think the, the quoted tweets show up. Yeah, the quote tea's even available. Yeah. But I thought that was funny. It was NZX, NZXT, and it was like a purple, a purple deodorant.

So, Axe, if you're listening, maybe we should, we should go back to the drawing board and make a NZXT deodorant. At time for a few more questions, Mike? Yeah. Let's go ahead and throw some stuff on. Let's see. Oh, will you ever do white key caps for your keyboards? That would be kind of cool. That's something we have passed along to the product team.

So when we first launched our keyboards last year, there was a ton of feedback because it was our first keyboard. And one of the top feedback that we got was, you know, can you guys make these with white key caps? So product team's aware. And hopefully, you know, next time we make a keyboard, it's available with white keycaps too. what happened to the old Twitter manager who responded to DMs

which old guy I don't know you tell me it's us the DM if you're DMing us on Twitter there's a I would say 75% chance it's Mike Ooh Best game of the year I'm trying to think of well

so the year been 30 days. We can do last year too. I know the new game that just came out like two days ago that I want to play not even a PC game, it's a mobile game. It's a street fighter, I think Street Fighter duel or something like that.

It's a Street Fighter RPG. And when I first heard about it, I was like, man, like, how come there's never been a Street Fighter RPG? That's brilliant, you know? So I'm definitely going to play that one soon. I haven't had a chance to play it. And then I'm also a big collectible card game fan. So I do want to check out Marvel Snap, which I haven't played yet.

And then I recently, you know, on the subject of collectible card games, I recently started playing Magic the Gathering again. I found my old magic cards at my parents' house. And I just was like, you know, I should probably play some magic and started playing Magic the Gathering again. Magic the Gathering Arena on PC. It's really, really fun. How about you, Mike? For me, top game that I played, probably Hunt Showdown.

That's probably the most fun game in my opinion that anyone could play because it's just such a fun first-person shooter. It's a unique thing and a community. and the actual developers are awesome. We worked with them to make like a game PC and stuff like that, or a custom wrap PC, and the game is awesome. However, other things, I'm a big indie game person. You know, so like Ori de Blight Forest, Bastion, and then I'm going to be playing Hades soon

since I had that, I've had this game since the spring sale last year. I never played it, but now that I'm sick. and I really can't go outside. I'm like, well, I guess I got to play some video games, and I'm going to play some Hades this weekend. Are we just going to ignore the fact that I caught you playing Candy Crush this morning before the podcast? Yes, I am into Candy Crush now. Because when I was flying, I didn't have a game that I could play that doesn't require internet.

So I was like, oh, candy, I just looked up games without Wi-Fi and Candy Crushers are like, oh, yeah, you know what? I haven't played a guy in years, and then now I'm kind of addicted to it. I won't. I mean, it is a fun game. Like, can't deny that, uh, the gem matching, you know, it's not just candy crush, but just those gem matching games, it's just fun. Like, you know, I'm sure people do give you crap for playing Candy Crush, but the games

of games would like to say. Oh, Ghost Song. Yes, I've heard is also an amazing game. Isn't that one the art style is really beautiful on? Yes. Didn't people cry on this game? I can't remember. I remember seeing a lot of games like this,

and then it just makes people cry. Okay. You want to get like one or two questions, and then we're all set? It's all gay pasting. It's interesting. There's a lot of similar questions, so we've answered a lot of them.

I don't think I'd even be hired if I did anything past marketing. We couldn't even figure out how to calculate the height of a... Yeah. You guys really expect us to be doing stuff like this. All right. Well, I think that's it, Mike. I don't know. I think we answer to all the questions.
