Hello.

Welcome to the patch this week brought to you by Marvel Avengers Academy and Squarespace.

They threw me off.

I wasn't expecting them in the middle for some reason.

Yeah, they've consolidated to the center of the screen. I've been gone. I was gone last week. Thank you to our sponsors. We'll talk more about them in a bit. I was in Las Vegas for Dice, which is an annual gaming convention. It's weird to call it a convention. It's almost like a conference where... Yeah, because it's industry and it's game developers, but it's almost, it's not, it's not like GDC.

Right.

It's like a condensed version.

Right.

It's like a celebration of video games as an art form, but it's attended by very high level members of the game.

Like the industry luminaries.

What were you doing there?

I don't know.

I actually hosted a roundtable while I was there.

You did?

Yeah, it was really a weird trip.

I felt like an adult for the first time in a long time.

What round table did you host us?

Well, actually, I sat in on, first before I hosted,

when I sat in on one about building online communities with uh that was

that was moderated by Randy Pitchford and then I hosted one about like online influencer

marketing and I did that this episode of the patch brought you by Marvel Avengers Academy um

but it was really good and there's a lot of influencer marketing. Oh, I see. I was momentarily so influenced. We're like, I don't understand. This is a panel sponsor. Subliminal. So, but the weird thing about it is, since it's a conference, normally you go to a conference and there's like tons of different talks and you have to choose what you're going to do.
