It's been a very long, it's been a very long week, very long day.

Actually, the day has been as long as they've always been, Dennis, 24 hours. No, it definitely has not. Don't come to me with your logic. I don't want to hear it. Long week, long day, long-erthing. A lot of things happening. But you know what's even more exciting that's happening, Evan? Do you want the most exciting happening is today?

What is it, Dennis? We have Andy, joined by Andy today on the podcast, to talk about a couple things, but mainly the new Assassin's Creed, Kraft 8 Balhalla H510 case. Our new craft is here, and Andy's going to tell us all about it. Yes, I am.

He is. Hi, Andy, how are you doing? I'm doing well. It's always exciting when we launch something, and I have a soft, What? No, I have a soft spot. You sound so excited. It's been a long day. I've been, you know, chugging at it for almost 12 hours.

But we're here. We're happy. We're having fun. Are we having fun? It's funny because I always feel like when it's launch day, it's always us three here pretty much, like the PR and social media peeps. Yeah. That, like, had to do not all the work, but like, that's like when we actually have to like, do our jobs. It's like after after the you know the product team designs everything and make sure the packaging looks nice and and the partnership team like reaches out to everyone and make sure that you know the influencers are sharing and whatnot and it's like now it's time for the PR and social media team to blast us out there to the world and it's just like all day

long we're just you know basically working but it's cool it's fun it's been interesting seeing the reaction from people. And I feel like every time we launch at a craft case, people always say, like, you know, what's the next one going to be? So it's a good thing. What is the next one going to be? We don't know.

It's going to be a Super Mario case. I mean, I would absolutely adore that. That'd be great. I mean, there's a lot of cool things that I wish you could do with craft. My, my, like, suggestion or my, like, feedback is always been I want more craft pucks. Like, let's just do pucks. Because I don't always want to buy

a $250 case or whatever the price may be, depending on the craft, right? But I would definitely buy pucks. I'd buy a bunch of pucks. Well, good news, Dennis. If you don't want to buy it $250 case, we can give it to you for free. All you have to do is, if you're listening

to the podcast right now. Is wait for the code, which will be later. You want to do it later? Heck yeah, dude. I'm not going to give it to them. five minutes in. I was not going to give it. Yeah, we've got to make them wait for it.

Exactly. I was not going to give it, man. I was just going to tease it. You have to listen to our inane banter for an hour and a half. Listen to Andy and I talk about baseball for an hour, and then you can get the code. Easy. That is your punishment. Yeah.

If you want the code for the giveaway, you have to, you have to listen to Andy talk about baseball. Yeah. But yeah, we're doing the giveaway a little bit different today. So we do have like a secret code that you'll have to enter into the link that is currently, pinned in the podcast text channel here and yeah I guess just listen and then at the end we'll give it to you the secret code is banana no it's not sorry it's like those you know like those TV shows like the secret word is slime then like when they go oh I hope I don't get slime then the bells ring and then it gets slimed remember those or or like on radio right it's like when

year, you know, make me want it by Usher, call Linda, and be caller number 76. I, yeah, you know, I actually called into a baseball talk radio show once, and I didn't, I was about, like, I don't want to do this, and I was about to hang up, and they're like, you're on the air, and I was like, oh, oh, yeah. What did you talk about on this? It was when Chase Utley slide and broke someone's leg, and I called in and was like, Chase Sully didn't mean it. I'm not sure who that is, but that sounds.

really messed up to break someone's leg during a baseball game. It was an accident. Are we sure? I mean, it's for the birds to decide. Not for me. For the birds to decide. I like that.

So Andy, we launched something today. What the heck did we launch? What is it? We launched a brand spanking new, limited edition. Okay. Age 510. Uh-huh.

Based on. Yeah. The very well-regarded Yes franchise from Ubisoft Right Assassin's Creed No way

Oh heck yeah And It's based on the newest game Based on Assassin's Creed Valhalla I have never I've never heard of this game Andy What is this game about?

It's about your Viking And you're I've played a little of it and your clan gets killed and your help of revenge. Dude, do you just spoil the game for me? I even played it. I was going to buy the case

and then play the game with the case for like the full experience and now you just ruined it for me. I would not be buying this case, Andy. Thank you. Well, sucks to suck. Yeah. I'm currently fighting off a cat right now. It keeps making this circle around

my desk and my monitor and it's going to step on my keyboard and ruin the podcast due to cat. Just if something happens, blame the cat. All right. So, Andy, what's the reception been so far of this case? Because you are our PR person.

Yeah, exactly. You're the PR man, the PR person. And you're the one who sends out the case to reviewers and our press partners to take a look at the case and talk about it. What's the reception been so far? Pretty good. I think people like it. The thing about our craft case is, you know, we incorporate elements from the game and kind of like highlight cool little aspect.

So this case has a logo of the Vahala slash Assassin's Creed logo, just proud and loud in the front. And it's a light up logo, which I think those are awesome. Like we've done it with our Overwatch case and the Rainbow Six case. but yeah we have a nice cool looking assassin's creed logo just like kind of in the front and like you're saying about the pucks we got we got a puck we got a puck for this one and a charm based on evor i forget his or her name wow uh but yeah a puck based on evor's shield and a charm based on like a brooch uh that uh they own which is really cool and then one thing that i find Really cool is something we haven't really done before, and I wish, you know, continuing on we could do more cool stuff like this, is on the cable bar there's a poem inscribed in Viking Rooms. Is it really? You recite it, Andy?

I like to know that. Murfer, Lurfer, right? It's a poem from a Viking book called Havermal. I can't. I can't read, but I'll get the poem out real quick and give you a dramatic reading. How about that? You ready for this? Go for it.

All right. Here's the poem. It's the 70th stance from Havamal. I'm sorry from butchering that. This is in English. Cattle die. Friends die. And the same with you.

But I know something that never die. and that's a dead person's deeds. There it is. That's the poem. Deep, huh? I'm crying right now. But yeah, no, I think it's pretty awesome that we did something cool like that. Kind of incorporate Nordic or Nordic culture within the case.

And that's one thing I think Ubisoft does really well with Assassin's Creed is that, that they take great care, I believe, and they do extensive research on the time periods that they're in, and kind of try to, not kind of, they recreate as faithfully as they can, you know, the time period that the games are based in. Like with Assassin's Creed 2 and the Renaissance in Italy, and this with Vikings. I actually don't want the case or the puck. I just want that little arrow. I just want the arrow. Yeah.

I'm sure we could find you an arrow. I asked for one and they told me like to just make it myself. Well, I mean, the good thing about arrows is there. Jin literally told me like, just get a toothpick, man. I'm like, all right. You and Andy, you mentioned something that I think is like pretty, pretty, pretty cool about Assassin's Creed. And it's something I read that in some schools,

they're actually using, like, Assassin's Creed games to, like, teach, like, geography and history. And there's, like, a whole thing that, like, Ubisoft does where they try to make it as, like, accurate as possible to history, and then they, like, have, like, a special version of the game that you can play in schools and stuff. And it's actually pretty cool. I think it's dope.

Yeah, no, I think we all kind of take. take for granted how intense it is to make a game, and especially a game at the scope of an open world game, such as Assassin's Creed. Because you're in, like, one area for, like, two seconds, and you know, just look at it and like, oh, this looks nice, but, you know, the amount of research, and also animation, too, the amount of research that all the devs go through

and hair that they take to recreate these environments, it's just mind-blowing. And, I mean, there's a reason why AAA games take so many people to make and cost so much money to produce is because, you know, it's just, it's not easy making games. And, and again, we kind of take it for granted.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy. So, Annie, someone mentioned in one of our many chats, this thing's $250. $50. Could you give us some insight? Because I know the answer, but I want you to kind of say this. Do you know why it's so expensive, Andy? Isn't just a sticker on a case? Why would it pay so much for a sticker on a case, Andy?

These ain't stickers. Let me tell you. What? I know. If you tried peeling this off, it would look awful because it's not like, there's a hidden H510 under here? No, the reason why is you get a lot with the case, because you get the exclusive

puck, you get the charm, you get the light up front pan. plus these are very limited. We only made 500 of these bad boys. And that to mention, it's also the way that we kind of print this onto the steel itself. It's not like a traditional case wrap, right?

It's not like a paint. It's like, it's almost like I forget what, if Jeff was here who would like explain it perfectly because he's like the craft guy, right? But there's like a special thing that we do with the steel where it's almost like printed onto the metal itself. So it doesn't like come off. It doesn't, you know, peel or like that.

You're not going to have this for like a couple years And then, you know, you got to contact customer support to have your, like, wrap on your case, like, redone. Yeah, no, like, I think all the crap cases, I've had the privilege of seeing them in person, except with this one. Due to obvious reasons, since we're not allowed in the office, you know, we can't just go in willy-nilly anymore. But... I'm actually in office right now, Andy. I don't know why they won't let you in. Well, it's also...

Since I transitioned to work from home, you know. It's because we don't allow that Johnston and Johnston in there. Hey, they're all good vaccines. By the way, I'm going back to the office in exactly one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven days. So basically two weeks. Yeah. For those who don't know, Ivan just got a shot on Monday. second shot.

How'd you feel, by the way? I felt pretty good. Like, I only, the only real, like, side effect I felt was just, like, super drowsy. Like, not even, like, fatigued, just drowsy, like, fatigued? Or fatigued, however you pronounce it. English is not my first language, Andy. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just, uh, yeah, I was just, like, drowsy all day, and my arm really hurt, like,

Like someone punched me really hard. And that was basically it. But my wife, she had a different experience. Like, she was, you know, basically knocked out for two days. So I was watching the kid for a couple days. And she went to bed like at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. So it's weird how it hits people different. Yeah, when I got my shot, I got it the second shot on a Monday morning.

then I felt fine. I'm like, yeah, I'm great, you know. It didn't get me. And then, oh, God, no. And then, like, by five, I started getting brain fog. Then by, like, seven, I was getting chills. But also, no matter what I did, I felt achy. I didn't have a fever, though, but I started putting, like, a bunch of layers and blankets on me.

And I was hot and cold at the same time, which is the weirdest thing you can ever feel. And then it was just like pain. But then it just went away, then I'm good. Fully vaccinated. Yeah. I was pretty good on mine, to be honest. I just saw like a headache, like a splitting headache for like two days.

But other than that, like it wasn't like anything super terrible. Like I was back to work in a couple days. So it wasn't like anything. Like I would say, you know, like don't ever get it or anything like that. Obviously get it. If you can, right, get it. Could get vaccinated. Everybody.

put on a mask. I think I felt the effect of Dennis's vaccines more because I had to cover him. Those days he was out. I was tired. I was really fatigued. He had to actually do work. Yeah, I was like, can't it have to work now? But yeah, no, I would do it again and again because it's worth it.

You probably will every year. Then I will do it again and again. But yeah. That case, Andy. Assassin's Creed, man. But no, like, I think we. continually get better and better with these cases because as I was saying before we got on that tangent um when you actually see a crap case in person it just has a different vibe to it

especially the um Nuka Cola one I think that one is probably one our most well regarded ones um it's that thing is just absolutely gorgeous in person and especially we changed like the front IO and there's like a vent in the uh and like where the buttons are it's just really cool if I liked Fallout more I would totally have gotten that case and never never looked back

yeah I um I like the direction that we're going with the craft cases I think we're getting better and better at them I mean I'm just looking down our list of like craft stuff on our product image board here that we have for the office and the first one the PubG was really cool right it was like nice color

you know, everything was, was, it's cool, but I don't know, like, I feel like it wasn't, you know, it was the first step, right? And then we got like, I mean, I wouldn't consider the ninja case to be one, right? It's just like blue, you know, whatever. But it's kind of in the same vein, right? We're kind of making a special case. And then we got the Nucca Cola one, which, you know, like I said, I think is the best one. The Overwatch one is not my favorite, you know, I think we could have done a lot more

with it, but, you know, it is what it is. The Volpo is really cool. You know, we started incorporating, like, the special puck, which I think is really great, you know, and then what should you got here, keep going to... For me, that my favorite craft case is actually not even a craft case, but the inspiration

for craft, or one of the inspirations is by Heberbeas cases. We didn't have craft when we came out with those. I believe that was 20... 2016, 2016 and 2017. But yeah, those were like the original like, but main inspirations for making more of like those types of cases and those cases,

they sold out really quick. I think you can still get them on eBay for like three times of the price. But those are my favorite, the hyperbeast ones. Those are amazing. Was it the S340 and H440? Yeah, first it was the H440, then the S340 elite. People still talk to me. Well, one person talked to me about it still. we took a message on like Twitter and like Instagram and Discord about that case I think if you buy it secondhand

it's like $700 now or something like that Oh wow I have to look it up but it's like it's it's it's it's a it's super crazy It's that's more important and harder to get than a graphics card nowadays

Yeah those graphics cards man We should make craft graphics cards. I mean, they sort of did. Not us, but with the cyberpunk and the 2080TI founders editions that they did, they only made like 77 of them.

Get it? I get it because it's the name of the game, right? It's the name of the game. Yeah. Yeah, I kind of can't wait to see what we do next with craft. I think. I think we're getting better, better at them. The designs are,

looking super neat. I hope we branch out soon to like some different different stuff. Like non-gaming stuff. Like things are like gaming adjacent, you know? Imagine a like a world where we have like a K-pop case or something like that, right? I think we'll go nuts.

Like, I mean this is me, like a Simpsons case or something like something like totally out there that would be rude. You are a Simps son. Oh boy. Yeah. black pink case, right? BTS case to go along with my

BTS happy meal. That would be pretty cool. No? Nobody? I think it would be cool, but I wouldn't buy it. Okay. I mean, actually, that's why I feel about a lot of these cases, to be honest. Like, I love the hyperpiece cases,

but the reason I never got one, apart from being too lazy to build a new computer, is that, like, I just, I can't imagine, like, having something like that on my desk if that makes sense like but that's just me i love the look of it and maybe if i was younger and single i wasn't married uh my my wife wasn't in charge of decorating i probably would have it on my desk but when i see it i'm like there's no way my wife's gonna let that in the house well that's we get a new place and get an office right and you make that place you know the

the quote-un-quote you know like the the the guy den or something right the poppy cave oh yeah the poppy cave there you yeah poppy's corner that would be your column in the in like some local newspaper Poppy's Corner The Hyperactive Hive Mind Let's talk about You know what really grinds my gears

Kids, right? And it's just all about kids You know this generation XYZ right It's always the kids that we had to complain about There was doing something wrong Andy, what do you think is the next step for craft? No, you kind of just had it. I hope we just kind of evolve from just getting cool franchises no matter what.

And then get some more awesome franchises that us gamers love. Do you think we could do Kraft fans? Would we down for that? I'm trying to think how that would work Very hard So you know those like LEDs that are on fans right And then when you spin them and makes like a word or something How about that?

That's what I would think But I'm trying to think like that would be very hard to do I think What about a craft ram? How's that? What do you think? I don't know

Like I mean maybe like the shroud would be kind of cool but a craft cracking wouldn't be too bad. Okay, okay. I got it. Power supply? What about a craft poochie? So like we release like a little Viking poochie to go along with like Valah and like, you know, what we've done before? Wow, right?

We do like a little ork poochie. It'd be pretty cool. He has like a little axe or something on him. Crafty yellow poochie with like little goggles and maybe like a little like, you know, like a little breech charge or something like that. that'd be pretty cool I think that would be dope yeah I mean the pucks are awesome like like you said like the breaching charges

dope I mean I have the PubG pan one on my computer like I instantly bought that I thought that was like the coolest thing ever that's kind of funny because I have an H510 elite I don't have a lot of metal in the front panel so they have just a little frying pan

It's kind of hanging in the small little metal part Yeah, I didn't think I like the inclusion of the charm, right? The first time we did the charm was during the Was the Craft 6th, right? No, I think there might have been one for World Warcraft. There is not one for World Warcraft, and I can tell you I'm looking at the images right now.

Okay, then I lied. Yeah, I don't see it. No, sorry, was there one for Fallout? out? No. No, but we did include a bubblehead. Yeah. Because that one was the most expensive one. Because that one came with

a lot, too. And it was also 8-710, right? Or 8,700, so it's naturally a more expensive case to have stuff on there. Plus all the fancy stuff, plus toys. Yeah. And I think to date that's the most

customized one we've made. Yeah, 100. That one's more of that that one honestly when you see it in real life it looks like case mod Yeah, especially the I.O it's like yeah it doesn't look like a Like someone like it doesn't look like a company made it basically. It looks like it was just like a one-of-a-kind case mod Yeah, no it does yeah I when we had a booth at E3 blast real E3 so in 2019 I was manning the booth and we had pretty much all our craft cases at the time up

then literally all the people were just so drawn to the fallout case and they're like wow can I get this and I'm like it's sold out sorry but yeah that was by far the most eye-opening or jaw-dropping people would just like go in there like hey so-and-so look at this and they're like whoa and they would stand there for like a few minutes just gawking at the computer it's kind of what they're for yeah i remember that happened a lot during e3 right

yeah yeah that was specifically at um e3 yeah i think it's like the first time i actually spent any time with you was during e3 right because you were i was like that's fun fact that i think that was like a couple weeks after dennis first started and it was our interns very first day. Because we had our first community meetup ever was at E3. That's right. And I couldn't go.

You couldn't go because you were working the booth. I was like manning the booth basically not basically solo because like people would tap me in and tap me out a couple times. But I was there for like three days for like nine hours.

Yeah. For the most part. Like my voice by the end It was just, like, just dead. But that's the booth life. That's the event life. It's always a grind. Yep, yep. I think it's just the first time and second,

the first at a second time that it met Arabian Prince. Oh, yeah. From NWA. I was like, cool. Like, his dude walks up to the booth and I'm like, hold up, is that, is that Arabian Prince from, like, NWA? Like, that guy's a legend. The guy's been around forever.

He's like, yeah, you know, he does. like a lot of tech stuff around here in LA. I'm like, what? It's so crazy. First time I was the first time I met him was at an I Buy Power event. It was like a CSGO tournament and we had a booth there and he just comes up to the booth and he starts like asking questions about computers and whatnot. And I didn't even know who he was. I just thought it was just some random guy asking questions. And then next thing I know, like someone or I don't even remember who, but it was like, oh, hey, hey brother arab or something like that and he's they started talking about music and then i realized oh this is the guy from nwa so random and then he came to the office and he brought me um he brought me

an n wa shirt which is what he did yeah and he signed it for me yeah it's pretty cool that's awesome i'm jelly he's he's actually on the cover of their um of the striata compton album cover he's he's on there. That's really cool. Yeah. Him and I like bumped into each other throughout E3 like periodically. Like during mostly the

setup and tear down. Or like in when you go, when you're an exhibitor at a convention first thing like that badge has so much power because you could just plow through any line and you're like, ha ha suckers and you can go in before the show starts.

Then during those times, you know, we would say hi and he's a cool dude yeah he's really cool and he was telling me that like when he would go on tour with n wa like all all the guys would go out partying like after the shows and he would go to his hotel room and open up this like suitcase he had like this this computer that he was all around in a suitcase and this is like in the 80s so i'm sure there's like a giant giant computer but he said he would just play video games you know he carried a computer with him when he went on tour for playing video games, which is pretty cool. I can relate to that because

when I was in high school, I was, I guess, very industrious of me wanting to play video games during choir competitions. We went to a trip, like a trip to the Midwest, to Branson, Missouri, the most amazing city in all the world. During the flight,

I was able to battery power a place station two and play guitar hero on the airplane. Did you have the actual controller with you? Yeah, I was so obsessed with guitar hero. I can't imagine that. On an airplane, like I, you know, just busted it out and had a portable DVD player's screen and played guitar hero on the airplane. All right then.

That's how you do it, I guess, right? Yeah. I'm looking at some more of the craft stuff. Did we not do a puck for the Mass Effect one? No. Like a little enormity would have been lit. Imagine. It's a little spaceship, like maybe like sticking out the side or something.

That would have been so cool. I was going to say, or like a Grogon head, but those people are extinct in the game, and I think that would be in bad taste. Grogan? Krogan. Krogan. Wait, are they extinct? That's part of the game.

the one alien species formulated like a bio weapon that made them sterile. Oh, damn dude. And then there's like only a few left. So I'm like, no, that would be in bad taste. Never mind. I'm looking

for second to prenatal and Pluto. Okay, yeah, yeah, I see. Yeah, I'm reading the Wiki. This is the second time on the podcast away that we've like delved into the Mass Effect Wiki. we should just do like a mass effect cast and just talk about like the lord i got the the legendary editions and i've i played them all but i haven't beat i didn't beat the first one because my xbox

died while i was playing it my 360 and all my memory got wiped and i just got very sad so i'm like no i'm not i'm not going to replay this but i beat two and three and loved them i played one loved it, played two, thought it was the most amazing thing ever, and then I didn't play three because I don't think I had a console at the time to play it on, and everyone told me it was bad,

so I just never played it. I didn't think it was bad. I think just people had... High musicians, yeah. Well, that... Oh, excuse me, it burp. God dang it. I lost my train of thought.

No, I think it's just the ending that people don't like, because it is very like, what? Oh, okay. Yeah, it's... Well, it's one of the things where it's like, you know, this happens a lot with trilogies where, like, how do you end it, you know? How do you end a good story?

It's always, like, difficult. I think it's probably part of the reason why, like, Game of Thrones hasn't had, like, a new book out in, like, 20 years because, like, how the heck do you continue a story like that, you know? Also, I think people just kind of stop caring because the show was so bad near the end. Yeah. Yeah, but I kind of want to pick up Legendary Edition, but I'm also playing a lot of stuff right now, so I can't.

Like, it's the story of my life. Yeah. I think it just got four games in the past week. Mass Effect, Resident Evil, Meetopia. Resident Evil 7 or Resident Evil 8? Ocho. Ocho. Have you played it at all?

A little. I've been wanting to play it with a friend. It's very, very good. I played it on stream. It was incredibly fun. Spooky, but, you know, I don't want to spoil it, you know, but I played through seven in like two days, and then I played eight, like, immediately afterwards. Because, you know, they're kind of, like, connected.

The stories are like, you know. I know they're related, but I'm just going to skip it. No, no, no, no, no. You have to play seven, or you're not going to get it. Well, not that you won't get it. You won't miss a lot, but you're going to miss a couple of things that when you're playing through eight, you're going to go, oh, that's what, you know, that's what this is or, you know, it. It makes a lot of references to the previous game because they're in the same universe

and timeline-wise, it's right after. Yeah, yeah, the same character, yeah. You play as Ethan. So I would, so I would recommend for sure playing the first, playing Resident Evil 7.

It's not even very long, like, I'm not going to in line pretend like, you know, oh, I'm like the best game ever. I played it on like the normal easy difficulty because I just want to see through the story. I want to kill some Zambies, right? I don't want to, like, struggle. you know um and yeah and it was really really good it wasn't really too long it took him like two

days of maybe i can look it up right now see how long he took me to beat it i have 11 hours in it it's 11 hours yeah that's yeah that's like one really really long day and then like a short day you know or a couple you know a couple of shortest short-ish days right so i definitely would you know four hour days yeah we can do math we can divide exactly yeah yeah yeah yeah Or maybe like... I can't. Actually, I cannot do that. Or maybe six... If someone was holding a gun to my head and asked me to, like, divide a number, I would be dead.

I... I'm... I think computers have ruined my ability to do a lot of things. And basic addition is one of them. Also spelling. As you all probably know, I can't spell to save my life. Good thing. You're not responsible for writing press releases.

well there's like 50 bazillion people who check them but um but what like i i i'll show you like how my brain is conditioned for spell check i've told this story before i'll but i'll tell it again because you're forced because i'm the guest so you have to be forced to listen to my anecdotes that's so i was in college taking an online test i don't know what i think it was anthropology let's say anthropology and um it was like an essay section but there wasn't any spell check built into the browser. So when I was typing it, I was like, heck yeah. Like, I ace this. Like, man, I spelled everything right. I was happy with myself, but then as soon as I took out

the text just to double check everything and put it into like word or something, literally I saw like all the red lines and I'm like, oh God, oh God, really? And then when as soon as I saw the red line, my brain was like, oh, yeah, that's wrong, dude.

And then I like, I'm like, oh, yeah, like, that is wrong. And I saw why it was wrong. And then I'm like, oh, man, this is, this is awful. But, yeah, like, it's just the red, my, I think when you see a red squiggle, you know what's wrong, but when you don't for the most part and you're not really like thinking, you think, you, you know, you aced it. I'd be honest, you lost me. All right. You can cut that out. It's fine.

He's lasted real hard, too. I'm so sorry. Yeah, I mean, it's been a super long day. I mean, just kind of like even talk about, and maybe some people might find this interesting, right? Like the amount of like outlets that you have, you yourself have to like contact, right, to talk about this case, right? The amount of like conversations you have back and forth with like the publisher, right, on like what's the right thing to tweet and stuff, right? And like sometimes, you know, with certain people, you have to explain like what a meme is, you know? It's like, oh, you know, this is a joke.

And they go, oh, okay, I get it. That's a good joke. I'm like, well, you know, it was, and then I had to explain it 20 times. And, you know, it's not that funny anymore, you know, is that funny anymore to me? But, you know, we'll still use it anyway. But, you know, it's a lot, you know, it's also keeping track of the customer sentiment and, you know, and like what people are saying. And it's, you know, a lot goes into a launch, you know. Yeah, no, totally.

Yeah, there's, like, like, I would say for something like craft in particular, just every step of the way, it's like, it's probably not easy, you know, because we're only making. so many of these and then we're done. So it's almost like, you know, once the work is done for this, for this product, we don't ever really talk about it again, right? It's just there. It lives on in like an archive and it's gone, you know, which is going to be history books. Yeah, exactly, you know. Whereas like, you know, let's say like an H510, we've had this thing for a few years now, right?

And we still talk about it. We still promote it. You know, we still sell it. It's a little bit different when we have like a really special case like this. Dang, you know, it's funny. I didn't want it. Now the more I stare at it, I kind of want it. I'm not going to spend $250 on it, though, but I want it.

You know what I mean? You should enter the giveaway. Oh, yeah? Maybe we should enter the giveaway, Ivan. Should I give out the code, the secret password? Well, it was supposed to be a segue, but then you kind of, like, ruined it by asking if we should give away the past code. So maybe we'd make it wait a little bit longer.

I don't know. What do you think, Andy? You decide. I'll let the chat decide. Don't let the chat decide. I was going to say. I'm a guest, and I demand that the chat. decides. Okay.

All right. You guys ready? I think you should. Yeah. All right. So the secret code to win one of 500 limited edition H510 Valhalla cases is build the legend. All caps, one word. Build the legend. And I will type it in the chat

so you guys know exactly how to do it. Where do they have to give the secret code to? They had to check the pins in the podcast channel, and there's a link right there. I'll also drop the link again in case anyone missed it. I just go in there, type the secret password, and you're entered automatically to win. And there's also bonus entries. Once you enter the password, there's a chance to get five extra bonus entries for retweewee. tweeting our tweet about the case.

So pretty good odds. You know, I think if you answer your, you have a good chance to win. So good luck. Build the legend. That's it. That's the podcast, guys. Bye. All right, bye.

If anyone has any questions, I guess, about not just the case, but like Andy's job or anything else, feel free to drop it in the chat. And we'll answer it. To be honest, dude, I'm kind of glad that we don't have who we were going to have on as a guest because I think you get it at this point in time after like a launch and also the other stuff like it's going on throughout the week. Like we would have been like, okay, so what do you do? That's nice, man.

That's cool. Like Andy, you know, Andy's been in the trenches with us like he gets it. He's cool. He's chill, you know. He knows this up. I guess so. Yeah. You can hear me talk about how I can't spell.

Exactly. No one can spell, apparently. So I was asking, what can we expect from NZT and Q3 and Q4 stuff? We will... Stay tuned to the Twitter account. Any collabs or news to... Any media. Do we have to look out for?

Yes. Look out for collabs and or news. Keep your eyes peeled on our social media channels. Twitter, Instagram. I mean, they may not happen. Who knows? Yeah. Collabs may or may not be a thing.

News may or may not be a thing. Maybe the news says there are no collabs. Who am I? I don't control those things. I actually literally don't control those things. That's all like high level marketing, C-level execs. You're like, let's do this thing.

And then it happens. So that's how it works. Yeah, I mean, pretty much it. Any other questions, folks? You guys want to ask how many people can win the case? It's one case. People are asking when we're going to announce the winner. So I set the giveaway to end at 6,

even though the podcast is over. We're trying to get over at around five. But I guess we can announce the winner in the announcements channel, right? Yeah, we can. Yeah, we can. We can do that. Just keep your eye on the announcements channel. Here's another rule, too, right?

And we'll be checking because we made you log in the Discord. If you, during the process of the podcast being done and us announcing the winner and you get a warning, mute, or ban, you're disqualified. What do you think I've been? Thoughts and opinions? No, I think if you're warned mute or banned, you should get bonus entries. So if you're warned, you get one extra entry muted, that's two, and ban three extra entries. There we go.

Yeah. And also, if you violate Discord terms of service, you automatically get a case. There you go. deal big deal it's funny because as i was saying this up uh like this give it was actually kind of like last minute thing and um i asked dennis i asked dennis like you know what should we do for the entry methods and he's like oh we should do the secret password and he's i think dennis was like super intent on making sure that you know whoever wins this is like actually listen to the podcast and that was the opposite i was like i don't care people share this like all over social

and just keep the pass really up. We got to give the fans, the hardcore fans, a little bone here. Yeah. Exactly, yeah. I'm going to give you guys all the bone, pretty much. And you're welcome, Moonit,

for, you know, well, Wayne, you need to thank us, you know, it's not really coming out of my pocket. It's, uh, it's, uh, coming out of Papa Andy's pocket here, this, this case. Also, also,

master of cases. So, cool thing, and I do want to talk this up a little bit because I think It's awesome. And, you know, it makes me happy to do, like, nice things for people who are, like, actual fans and actually, like, you know, give a crap. We gave a, we give a case. I'm just going to, I was going to tag them because I think it's cool. They gave a case to this guy here on Twitter. He's been tweeting on us for, I think, like, almost a year now since the game came out about this, like, mob that he did for Valhalla.

Not just that, Dennis. Fun fact. He also responded to us on Facebook today, and I was like, hey, he's on Facebook, too. is he? Yeah, he's definitely, and he posted a picture of his build, man. Yeah, he's definitely a hardcore Assassin's Creed slash NZXT fan. Yeah, like, I'm pretty sure I have not gone to weed. Today's must be his Christmas. Oh, yeah, dude.

Like, he doesn't even know. Because I sent him a DM and say, hey, man, you know, I see that you keep posting about this Assassin's Creed case that you made. And, you know, you seem to be a pretty big fan. And, you know, we just want to give you a gift, like, you know, what's your address? And he gives his info. And then he's like, cool, like, what am I getting? I'm like, I'll give you one guest, and he's like, wait a minute.

So it made me feel nice to give something to somebody who wasn't him expecting it, right? They weren't asking for it, right? They don't like, they weren't, like, he literally made his own case because he's like, I just want this thing. He made it happen. And I think it's cool to give a little bit back, you know. It's something huge, right? You know, it's like I'm not, you know, paying the dude's bills or something.

But I think it's cool that we can, you know, give something to somebody who's obviously a fan and cares enough to share their creations with us. So hopefully we can do more of these things. things next time. I'm going to demand out of Johnny that we make 100 extra cases so we can all just give them away. What do you think, Ivan? Good idea? Bad idea?

It's a brilliant idea, Dennis. There we go. We should just give away. We should give away more than we sell, to be honest. I agree. I think we should too. Yeah, there you go. Ben in the chat just posted it. Like this guy, I think he might like Assassin's Creed by Hala. I don't know.

Maybe it's just me, right? This guy, I'm not a fan, though, of putting the computer on the wall, especially above the monitor. I do not like that at all. It's dangerous. It's scary. I think that just personal taste. It's scary. I think us Californians are just afraid of wall-mounting things because of earthquakes.

Because whenever there's like a decent-ish earthquake, all my little toys and whatnot fall off my shelf. so yeah I wouldn't do that at least I would wall mount securely on it I mean I hope it's secure but like it's more like just like a distraction thing like if I had if I had that computer at top of my monitor I would be staring at that all day long I would not get any work done basically I mean I just stare at my amoeboes all day so no I just realized too like since moving into my new place the first time you have one of the other my girlfriend is going to freak out because we have so many things that are like propped up on something like so perfectly for like display purposes that as soon as this house this apartment shakes even like an

inch that's all going to knock over and ruin the design that she put together so um pretty excited for that hopefully nothing super important to high up anywhere but you just you just got me thinking about that andy you know we are we are in we are in earthquake country yeah i mean all All, two things. Like, all my life and, like, ever since, like, elementary school, when we learned about earthquakes, the teacher would be like, you know, it's been, like, 50 years since we've had the big one. Then the news will say the same thing, like, any time an earthquake happens,

this isn't the big one. But when we do, like, oh, we're in for a treat. And you're just like, oh, great. And then every earthquake, like, that happens, in my mind, I go. is this the big one? Is this the big one? Well, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,

it's like we know what's going to happen, right? We just don't know when. You know, you can't really predict it. And I'm pretty sure at the pace that we're, like, trashing the planet, you're probably going to get like five big ones in a row and California will see six-sust. Well, luckily,

seismic activity isn't tied to environmental degradation. No, they're actually... Okay. No, no. What was that, dude? Dennis, can you clip that, please? Yeah, I have it here. I have it, I have it ready to go.

No, because I don't think anyone liked earthquakes, but I will take an earthquake over, like, tornadoes, hurricanes, and things like that any day. Because, like, my sister, for example, lives in Nashville. Oh, geez. Like, every year, it's the same exact thing, you know. There's, like, hurricane season or whatever. And at least an earthquake, it's, it's sporadic and random. You know, every couple of years you get a decent shake.

But for the most part, like most earthquakes, there's earthquakes every day. And you don't even feel them. I follow this Twitter account. It's a bot. It's like L.A. Earthquipot? Yeah, I follow it. And then it's my source of truth because since I, my room is on the second floor,

you're a little more sensitive to seismic activity. So you'll feel something, you're like, is that an earthquake? And then you go up and check and you'll be like, like, you know, I'll say like one point, no, that's too small. Like 2.3 earthquake, epicenter, you're Belinda.

And I'm like, yeah, that was it. That was it. But like all my friends, like, know that I'm seismically sensitive. So I kind of am like a earthquake. alarm. But it's also funny. One reason why I love Twitter is whenever there's an earthquake in L.A. Oh, dude, it's lit. It like, it's like, like everyone just goes, earthquake, earthquake, earthquake. So you're like, okay, I'm not crazy. Earthquake. Also, the same thing happens when it rains.

It's raining, raining, raining, oh yeah, it is raining. Like, what is that? Is it La Croy falling from the sky? Do you guys remember? do you guys remember when there was like a tornado warning in Santa Ana down here and Twitter was blowing up for like an entire day because we don't get those here right it just doesn't happen and for whatever reason there was literally like an advisor we got all on our phones it was like danger tornado warning Santa Ana and it was like what like what's Saterman again yeah um my favorite thing is when the local news when it's raining like I watch ABC 7 so they'll be like breaking news and it's like it's raining in southern california and it's a wet one and it's like you know not that much raining then we'll go to like the local walmart and like talk to people about the rain he's like yeah it's raining you know i brought my jacket and umbrella and uh we need it but uh you know just going about my day it's like okay like thank you local news you know it's big news you know it's big news whenever there's the water to the falls from the sky here in california it doesn't

happen so i love love, absolutely love it. Like, oh, sometimes when I sleep, I'll do like sleep noises. And, um, or like sleep sounds, you know. Okay, okay, okay. And, um, 99% of the time it's rain related. Like, on, I have a home pod because I've been Apple moron. And I'll just go, hey.

Could have just said moron, Andy? I mean, I sit like one. I guess you discussed last week. No, I'll go, hey, virtual assistant. Play rain music. And then he will say, okay. And then there you go. Hold up.

You play's rain for me. Hold up. Your Siri is a boy? I changed it too, dude. Why? Siri has to be a woman, dude. Like, no, I wanted to change a pace. Like, why can't it be a dude?

because women are better. That's why. They just win at everything. I don't want some dude telling me what to do. Forget that. I mean, I just, like, you know, why not? Just a couple of bros listening to rain music. Middle of the night.

That's, I mean, if you're not listening to, like, rain noises with your homies, are you really doing it, you know? I mean, it's kind of the best. I use the headspace. meditation app. And they have like these sleep stories. And if I really can't fall asleep, I'll listen to one of them and they have rain focused ones.

There's like four of them like island rain, forest rain, antique shop rain. Yeah. No, but it'll be like someone like, you're in a shop, going to buy some actiques, but it's raining outside. What are you going to do? But first, let's do.

a wind down exercise. And then they'll just like say like the, I don't even know what they're talking about. They're just droning out. And it's like, you see a nice little trinket at the edge of the store. You look around and you're like, is today my lucky day? I might get this trinket. And it like, it's like that for 45 minutes. Like I honestly, I had no idea what they're talking about.

But it puts you- What app we're using again for this? Headspace. Headspace. Headspace. I think I try to use the relax app ones. And yeah, it was the same thing where it's like, it was like, oh, like, some person with a really nice voice, like, reads to you, like, whatever book it is. And I'm starting to think, like, this is literally ASMR, but without all the ASMR traffic.

They literally have ASMR ones. Oh, they do. Yeah, it's like ASMR library. Ah. I say library, but it's library. Right. Hold on. Let me bust out the Headspace app and give you live reading.

I'm not even going to front, dude. ASMR is lit. When you find the right ASM artist to give you them tingles and put you to sleep, and nothing hits like that, dude. It is, it is a hidden,

it is a hidden, uh, hidden technique to sleep that I think people are, no pun intended, sleeping on, right? They're sleeping on the secret technique and it's ASMR.

Okay. There's, there's some good stuff on there. There's two. Oh, go on. No, go on, go on. No, on the head.

space app. There's two whispering pines and they have an ASMR and an ASMR version and Moonlight Library.

Moonlight Shamelon. Yeah, so I've tried them and they seem the same to me. But it's there if I want it. Oh, they...

Oh, sorry. I just look. They have a sequel to Rainy Day Antiques. Damn, part two? Yeah, part two. Part two. What's you going

to find today? Oh, here we have a little wooden horse. I didn't know if you can have sequels to sleep stories. Okay. That's sick. What a day. Imagine it's like, and now ending the exciting trilogy, Rain Antique Store, Part 3. It's a thrilling conclusion.

Yeah. I was going to say, if you don't like ASMR and you find the concept of it kind of weird, because it is weird to have someone like in front of you, like, doing. they're like tapping on stuff. There's like ASMR for like quote unquote gamers and there's like a couple people who do ASMR where they're just playing a game. And you just hear the game sounds really, really low

and is them clicking on stuff with like a fan or something in the background. It's like a nice relaxing like background noise. Or there's also like PC building ASMR which is super cool because they have like the knives and they're like, like open up the box and they flip it open, right? And then they take out the packaging

and you know like, A video card always has it, like, you know, annoying, antithetic stuff, and it's like, exactly, yeah. Or like. Peeling it, exactly, peeling any somewhere. That's what we should do. We just have a album on Spotify that's nothing but, you know, peeling my H510. Killing my H210. It's a little shorter.

Killing my H210. There's a difference. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it sounds way different. It sounds way different. The acoustics are different. because of the added RGB strip and...

Smart device. No, no, don't get me started on like 8, 710 ASMR. Oh, man. Crazy. Oh, man. Doesn't even want to pretend like you know. Craft ASMR?

We can sell Kraft ASMR as like a premium. Do you want to hear what it's like to peel the H510 Bahala? That's for our Patreon. Exactly, yeah, yeah. Patreon exclusive. Or maybe we'll do like a special website where it's only peels,

and you call it Only Peels, and you subscribe. for a monthly fee for peels. Well, there you go. There we go. I think you found a new business venture. It's the side hustle right there. I think we could do that.

I think you probably sell exclusive like PC building content. I mean, that's, Linus somewhat does that with float plane. Yeah, but then I just get it for free on YouTube like a week later, so I'll even bother. Sometimes they have a float plane exclusive. You volunteer to do ASMRB?

If you want to do ASMR and volunteer for it, I am down to have you volunteer for that. the less I got to do in camera the better. If we do charge for exclusive PC building content, I do have the perfect domain name for that website. What is it? Like only

RGB fans. So dumb. I'm pretty sure of course I remember that joke like a year ago, Ivan. I'm sorry. Oh really? Only RGB fans? Some like that, yeah. Or it was like only fans and it was like a picture of like computer fans? Never mind then. But it's only so ginger. Non-RGGGG. B fans. Yeah.

We just put it on Twitch. Or they can only static pressure fans. Oh. Airflow fans. If you imagine it's like different ASMRs or different types of fans too. And you can hear it. Actually, that would be really cool

to have on the website. You should probably recommend that to like marketing or like creative to have them deal like sound comparisons. We just like, hey, this is this the fan running and you just hear it for like 30 seconds

so you know what the fan sounds like. There's this YouTuber speaking of fans. I think his name is major hardware and he has this show that he started it's like users

submit their fan designs and he 3D prints them and like compares them with one another and some of the fans are like ridiculously crazy like some of them look like something that like Leonardo da Vinci could have made and he

compares all these all these fans against each other. And I don't watch it all the time, but when I do, I'm like, I'm happy. It's fun.

Yeah, I know that the EU team has done some videos with this ASMR person, right? It's like unboxing or something. Oh, it's like the living end or something? Living Edge, I think. Edge. I think. Let me say, living edge.

The thing I, just with ASMR, like the box, oral, oral, oral, a ural, my oral microphones that look like a head. Uh-huh. And then they have like the ears and it's supposed to simulate like what a human would hear. Yeah. Oh, have you ever done? The relaxing end, they're relaxing in. There you go.

Relaxing end. I was off. Do you want to hear some, Andy? Um, there's this, have you ever tried 3D audio stuff? Uh, yeah, I have, uh, yes, I have. Like there's this one. one that's like a haircut that they recorded in 3D audio and it's you close your eyes and it's mind-blowing and you just hear it differently right you just hear it like because you can you have the

spatial awareness so like yeah and they like they they mess with mess with it so it's like you know they're pulling a lot of tricks so the person will go in your left ear your right ear and he's like all right I'm cutting your hair and then you like you like you kind of sense that like it like it's being cut at, like, the spot that it's recorded at. It's really cool. You should link me that because I'm actually really interested in, like, that 3D audio stuff. It's awesome. Yeah, I was playing, I was playing that Knockout City game the other day,

and if you have good audio, like, it's like a secret weapon in that game. Like, if you don't know, like, audio in that game can play a pretty important part because I've clapped some fools with a dodge ball to the grill when they weren't even, they didn't even know it was there, and I just beat him up. What if there's an Xbox Craft H1? Honestly, that's one of the ideas that I floated for like April Fool's was to make a H1

skin that just looks like a Xbox 1. Because the comparisons were like all over. The black one, you can kind of get by it. A little bit, yeah. I'll send you the 3D

haircut. I'll put it in the podcast chat to get buried. I hate When you do that, when you Google. Stuff, I agree. It's on. It's on. No, like, I forget, like, with Google, you can't, you have to, like, actually go to the URL, not.

Yeah. Not actually. Chalkster. Virtual Barbershop haircut 3D sound. Amazing. All right, cool. We'll take a love of that. All right.

Let's move on because we get, we get it going. It's, it's quitting time for all of us. It's been a very long day. And it's going to get even. And got some door dash on the way. Ooh, would you order? Boba? I actually have COVID today

How do I know? How did I know Andy? Actually, today is my mom's last day of working as a teacher. She's retiring today. Oh, snap. So I bought boba for her. What a great gift. Hey mom, 50 years of service, here's a drink. Here's a beverage.

Yeah, you know. What more do you need? The undying love of a son. She earned that boba. So I only saw one of two questions here real quick from the community. When was what are we playing? So Andy, just real quick, what are he currently playing? Moonit has to know.

He said a lot of nice things about you. I appreciate it. I've like been playing Battlegrounds on Harstown. Okay. And a little Overwatch and there's something else. I just started Meatopia today. let me know how that is because it looks interesting. I think I'm like the only person who bought the like we,

the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

the, did it have them Tomodachi life? No, no, this was like, these are the games that were like, part of like street pass, right?

We're like, if you pass by a friend. Oh, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so, like,

I think I did. Yeah, so, so that was cool. Have you ever played Tomodachi life? Uh, is that the one where the TV an apple is that the meme on that one i don't know but that's the phone game right no that's that's um

me tomo i believe tomagachi was those little keychains no no no this is called tomodachi life it was this weird freaking game it was a me game it was made my nintendo and you have like all of your me's on an island oh right right yeah and like they talked but it was like a very a very computerized voice yeah but um zucar posted the island and like they all were in this apartment building and like it was just like an ant farm essentially and then you would go into the rooms and it would be like hey like the game was just like an acid trip is the best way I could describe it like they would go in your room as like hey

I want to eat some ice cream do you want to eat ice cream with me and you're like yeah sure and then you eat ice cream with them and they'll be like acting like a cat and like they would fall in love with each other so I put like So it was like, I put Emma Stone on my island. And Emma Stone came up to me and it was like, Andy, I love you. And then my me is like, I don't. And then just like gave her the cold shoulder. And it was like on a beach and just walked away and you just see Emma Stone like crying.

This is like, what are you doing me? This is a dude in chat, Lordy, who's like freaking out over that 3D haircut thing by the way. It's like, yo. It's crazy. I literally, like, as soon as we finish this, I'm going to just put it on, just to try it. Make sure you wear headphones. It gives you to be dumb on your... I'm wearing my Sony X-M-4 babies.

You know how we do. I have a pair. They're great. Yeah, they're really nice. Super, super great. Better Life is awesome. I don't take them out as often as I should, but the thing is that when I put them on my, when I flip it down to put it onto, like, my chest, right? When I, like, take them off, is things so I think so my chin or something, like, sets it off sometimes.

So it's not perfect. Sometimes I have a setting where it talks and it turns on ambient mode. Yeah. Like if I'm on a call with it on them, I'll be like, hey, and then it'll just like go into ambient mode and just completely, you know, pause audio. And I'm like, oh, sorry, I have to turn this off or just I'll just switch headsets. Yeah. Okay, yeah.

So that's what Andy's playing. I've been playing Monster Hunter, finished RE7, RE8, and just Monster Hunter pretty much. I just, they updated new stuff. There's a rocket boy in the game now. We're trying to kill him. Pretty much it. Ivan, what do you been playing? I've been playing this game called Bunt.

Oh, God. It's awesome. It's a digital baseball card collecting game. It's basically gotcha. But instead of why it is, it's baseball players. It's cool. But they actually got me because I ordered a, like, a really overpriced box of baseball cards that arrived today.

and I spent all of my lunch break today opening packs, which is pretty cool. I mean, I play magic, so. Yeah. I mean, it's just the same. Yeah, I'm, like, really into baseball right now. Baseball, like, if you're not a, I mean, I guess if you're not a baseball fan, you might not know this. But the level of gameplay right now is, like, really amazing. Like, it's been really entertaining watching baseball this year.

Yeah. It's been, like, seven no-hitters. I've seen the clips on the internet since it's nuts. The Javier Baez won today of him like Fun fact, fun fact ever since Dennis moved

across the street from Angel Stadium they've been in the last place. It's the start of the day right there. It's always always last place. It's not pretend like it's as anything to do with me. No, they're not always in last place. They're usually second to last. Yeah. And then Dennis moved

across the street and they're in last place. Yo, do you guys just feel an earthquake? No, no. Like, literally? Ellie Quake bot. I literally just felt the shake crane. Oh, let me check Ellie Quakebot for you. Before we get out of this podcast.

LA Quate bot, let's see, Ellie Quakebot. I don't think so. I think that there's, yeah, okay. Is there an Orange County Quake bot? Mike Trout knocking on your front door. Well, it's him hobbling with his cat. Okay, if you search. No, here you go.

Yeah, I literally went to Twitter. And if you go to just search Earthquick on Twitter, it's blowing up right now on latest. It looks like it's an Orange County thing. It hasn't showed up on L.A. Quate Bot. The last one was in Corona. That's not even L.A. It's Southern California.

For that's the 9-0-N-O-9. Anahe is not in L.A. You're not that didn't stop the Angels from calling at L.A. Los Angeles of Anaheim. I know, dude. the Angels of Anaheim when the stadium's in orange. It's really the worst thing ever. I don't know. That makes any sense.

All right. Remember, just they're talking about moving to Tustin, like, gross. The heck's in Tustin, dude. It's nothing. Plow over some school to build the stadium, I guess. Actually, there is one place in Tustin. It's called a Honda-ya, and it's a really, really good Japanese, I don't do a really good sushi place.

Like, it's probably some of the best sushi I've ever had in my life, and it's really, really good. Anyway, check it out. Hondaia, H-O-N-D-A-J-Y-A. It's the original experience. They got all the good stuff there. And they've got a Taiyaki there, so you can't hate that. Annie, do you have any parting words for the peeps on here?

No, I enjoy you all, and I guess. Thank you for listening to me Blab for about an hour, about nothing other than a case. I'm not going to lie. Some of that, I kind of want you to tell me what happens on Antique Rain Sleep Sounds Part 2. You know what? I'll write a full report for you. Please do.

Do you have a cool phone theme or is it just basic? I don't do things. themes. I just do a wallpaper and then I throw it up. There you go. I used Marcus Brownlee's like I think he had like a D-brand skin and you just posted like just the like a wallpaper an AK vote paper and I use that for my phone. I use the official NZXT monthly community.

Benar wants to know if the chalk walk event has ended. I think it did. It was last week. It was last weekend right. Yeah. We walked. For chalk. Well, I didn't walk, but I gave money to walk. Did we draw a winner for that thing yet? Yes, winter has been drawn and emailed. Yes.

So it's not me. If you didn't get an email, then no, it was not you. I'm pretty sure if it was me, you would have just told me. If it was you, I would have redrawn, actually. Really? No. I'm like, that's so messed up, dude. I put in my walking monies just like everyone else did.

Oh she uses that iOS 15 or 14, where I'm 14 thing, to change the icons, right? Yeah, yeah, it's really cool. I did, I tried doing that, but it was too much work. Dude, I know, like, she told me one day, hey, I'm going to do a theme of my phone, like, oh, great, cool,

so it's awesome. Three hours later, all right, I think I'm done. I'm like, mm-mm, not for me. I cannot spend that much time on that stuff.

i want some real emails in there clubcast at nzxt dot com don't forget to listen to previous episodes on the apple podcast google podcast Spotify and sound cloud and if you can leave us a positive review actually so so real quick before it ended this real quick so i was looking at where you can leave your reviews for podcasts and I think the only place you can actually do it is on Apple. Spotify seems to have no option for it. So you've been telling people for like almost a year now to leave a review and it only works. You can do it on Apple, dude. For my podcast, I was like looking at that and I was like, huh.

Like that's strange. I think you can quote unquote follow on Spotify. Yeah. Yeah. So how about that? Follow on Spotify. follow on SoundCloud. Honestly,

I'd be fine if he just made SoundCloud the only place to listen to it. All these are the platforms. I kind of booty. The booty butt cheeks. I'm not the biggest fan. Yeah, I prefer listening to our podcast, our podcast, at least, on SoundCloud.

Yeah, I've, um... I just yell at Siri and he helps me. He... I've literally just, like, swapped over all to Spotify for my podcasts. And I used to have, like, a bunch that would listen to. Well, a bunch I would, quote, quote, listen to, like, they would just be there. and now I'm done like four or five.

The only thing with Spotify is that navigating to podcast is a little bit weird and still very, very music-centric. But they're getting better at it. They're getting better at it. I mean, they have the Obama Springsteen podcast. Have you listened to that? Is that any good? I don't, I, Apple fan boy, I use Apple podcasts.

Okay. I stopped listening to podcasts other than this one. And like, since I'm on one. Right. Like, I don't know. I just listen to. Marketplace at night. Marketplace is really good.

Shout out to the R-R-R-R-R-R-R-P podcast. We just finished our second part. And I have a huge role in the last episode. I would say, I would say, I have listened to way more podcasts now that I have a dog because I've got to take it outside to go walk. And as long as the other mom dogs don't bother, the other dog moms don't bother me,

then I just listen to my podcast. But sometimes I want to get all chatty about, like, dog stuff. and, you know, I can't see no about talking about cute puppies. There's like 50 corgis in our complex. It's ridiculous. They're all, they're hanging with each other. All right. Anyway, leave as a positive view on a podcast.

Follow on Spotify. Follow on SoundCloud. Do whatever it is people do on Google podcast. I don't think people even use Google Podcasts. As far as I know, Android doesn't exist. Scrobble us on Last FM. What else can you do? Pandora?

Yeah, exactly. Shuffle on Pandora. Hit that thumbs up on Pandora. Subscribe on Twitch. Actually, yeah. Follow us, subscribe on Twitch. Don't subscribe. Follow.

We don't have subscriptions yet. We're going to figure out how to do that. I don't know. Whatever. Anyway, see you guys later. Next time. Bye. Have a good one.

Peace. Winner be announced at 6 o'clock on the server. Check it out. All right. Bye, everyone. The legend. Bye, Andy. Bye, Evan.

Bye.
