#116 - Dmitry Novoselov

**Dennis** (0:03)
I'm moving so fast, nobody will know this is take two. Hello everybody, and welcome to episode 116 of the NZXT PODCAST, the official podcast of the NZXT community.
This podcast is recorded live every Thursday at 10 a.m. Pacific Standard Time of the official NZXT Twitch, and is available to stream on demand on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and SoundCloud. So sharpen those bug teeth, because we're gonna be building one super sick dam. My name is Dennis, and with me as always is Ivan. Hi, Ivan.

**Ivan** (0:31)
How are we doing, baby boo?

**Dennis** (0:33)
Good, chilling.
I was gonna say back from vacation, but we're actually not back from vacation. But it feels like I'm back from vacation. My brain feels like it's on vacation right now.

**Ivan** (0:41)
Yeah, the holidays always make me feel like it's just one long break, even when I'm going to work every day. It just feels like, it just feels different, especially when it rains, like it rained in LA last night, so.

**Dmitry Novoselov** (0:53)
Oh, wow.

**Ivan** (0:54)
It's gloomy, and I want to wear my sweats, but I decided to put on a nice shirt for our special guest today.

**Dmitry Novoselov** (1:01)
It doesn't rain often, right? So it's kind of like, you get the gloomy.
It's nice.

**Ivan** (1:07)
It's literally always 120 degrees now in LA, for sure.

**Dennis** (1:11)
It's an event, yeah, it's an event when it rains.

**Andy Johnston** (1:13)
Rain is like a talk of the news story in LA. Oh, wow. People go to the market and interview people, like, hey, it's raining, what do you think? And they're like, I got a coat on.

**Dmitry Novoselov** (1:25)
What would you say if they were to interview you about the rain?

**Andy Johnston** (1:29)
It's great.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:31)
It cools the road.

**Ivan** (1:33)
I would say, is that LaCroix falling from the sky?

**Dennis** (1:35)
I would say the sky's on a sick one. Joining us today in the podcast is, as everybody knows, our good friend, a PR manager here at NZXT, Andy Johnston, aka Frito Bandito, aka, what else do we call you, Andy?

**Andy Johnston** (1:57)
Mr. Sly Guy in the Sky.

**Dennis** (1:58)
Mr. Sly Guy in the Sky on Mixer. Follow him. Streaming daily, streaming daily, Red Mixer.
And special, special guest. Live, obviously, from the beautiful Canada, Dmitry from Hardware Canucks. How's it going, buddy?

**Dmitry Novoselov** (2:16)
What's up, what's up? Good, good.

**Dennis** (2:19)
I'm not sure if I messed that up or not.

**Ivan** (2:20)
In honor of Dmitry being here, we do have a secret word for the giveaway if you're listening live. So the secret word is... Beaver.
Yeah, type in Beaver into the giveaway form and you'll get some extra entries there.

**Dennis** (2:40)
I guess we should discuss about having that near the end of the show so people have to stick around and listen to the whole thing, but it's okay.

**Ivan** (2:45)
I should change it, then. I'm gonna change it right now.

**Dmitry Novoselov** (2:48)
You got plenty of Canadian options.

**Dennis** (2:51)
If you did change it halfway through, that'd be pretty hilarious. Like, doesn't work anymore. Doesn't work anymore.

**Ivan** (2:58)
Yeah, welcome to the podcast. Dmitry, we're very, very happy and thrilled to have you here. Looking forward to chatting with you, getting to know you a little bit better. And if the community who is tuning in live has any questions for you, please ask them too, guys.

**Dennis** (3:15)
Drop them in the chat, yeah.

**Dmitry Novoselov** (3:17)
Thanks, thanks. Yeah, I'm happy to be here. I don't get to do podcasts often. So, as much as it is a pleasure for your community, it's also a really cool app for me.

**Ivan** (3:29)
Yeah, I have to admit, I am somewhat of a Hardware Canucks fanboy.
In my opinion, Hardware Canucks has the best b-roll in the game. You know, like their videos are just like, so beautifully shot, unlike any others, in my opinion.
I remember when I first started working at NZXT, the first product launch that I worked on was Manta, and we did this event in Las Vegas at CES. And I remember, you know, gushing when Dmitry came up to our hotel room and just like staring at Dmitry, like, wow, Hardware Canucks is in here, and actually seeing you work, and all the work that goes on behind the scenes to make sure that those camera angles are perfect. And, you know, and you think about it, you know, it's, you're literally just filming like a box. A lot of people might just dismiss it, like, oh, you know, it's a box. I could just put a camera there. But no, like you guys were literally like, almost like you were filming a movie or something. It was really, really impressive.
