Well, I got into the industry originally working at Blizzard. I worked there for four years and I obtained the level of specialist investigator, and I primarily worked with account administration and compromised account investigations. And then after that, I transitioned into QA by joining the team at Portalarium, Richard Garriott's company. And that's where I would test a poker application, and they also had another game they were working on. And that's where I got my feet wet.

So I actually met Justin, John, and David at Portalarium. That was my very first game industry job. And before that, I used to work at Capital One in the fraud department. I used to stop bad guys.

I'm most excited with just how Arena Commander can simulate what the Persistent Universe will kind of look like. So when everybody's flying around, you can kind of feel like you're actually in the Persistent Universe. And also, I'm looking forward to the leaderboards on the website. It'll definitely provide some extra engagement and fun to the actual experience, so I'm definitely looking forward to all that.

Just that we're laying the groundwork for the PU, for the Persistent Universe. I think that's pretty exciting. It's like we're doing all the hard parts right now. Well, some of them.

That's correct. We had discussed having a JIRA, somewhat like how Minecraft does it, where they have a public JIRA and people can create issues, and then within that community there's a higher tier of people that organize all the issues, close dupes, or have it all nice and neat for us to go in there and just import them into our actual JIRA that we use.
