United Artists, a new company formed by Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D. W. Griffith - four of the most powerful figures in early cinema - was announced on 5th February 1919. The movie trade press quickly labelled it a ‘rebellion' against the mainstream studios. Declaring their new enterprise would exist to “protect the industry from itself”, the Hollywood quartet took aim at an industry that depended on long contracts, vertical integration and strict talent control. They hoped to see a greater degree of creative autonomy and financial reward, but perhaps underestimated the difficulty of running a distribution company and the risks the studio system itself had absorbed. Existing contracts delayed releases, investors were wary, and the promise of artistic freedom collided with the realities of inconsistent output, experimental failure and changing technology, including the arrival of sound. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider UA's eerily prescient ambition to counter ‘machine-made entertainment'; discover how an experience selling war bonds helped inspire  the idea for the studio; and explain why, despite their success, the studio still missed out on ‘Gone With The Wind'...  Further Reading: • ‘United Artists: The studio that challenged and revolutionised Hollywood' (Far Out, 2021):  https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/united-artists-studio-revolutionised-hollywood/ • ‘Artists Unite Against the Studios' (Celebrate California): https://celebratecalifornia.library.ca.gov/february-5-1919-artists-unite-against-the-studios-2/ • ‘Chaplin, Fairbanks, Pickford & Griffith Signing United Artists Contract' (1919): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEBZU_KHSM0 #Hollywood #1910s #Business #Film Love the show?

Launched globally in early 2021 after a 2020 soft launch, it features King Robert as protagonist in polished, ad-free gameplay where players match 3+ tiles like crowns, coins, and shields to complete objectives—collecting items, breaking obstacles like vases and chains, or clearing paths—across move- or time-limited levels.The core loop includes regenerating lives (5 total), earning stars to decorate and progress the castle meta-layer, and deploying boosters like rockets, TNT, light balls, and hammers earned through combos or purchased. Events such as Sky Race (PvP-style), tournaments, quests, team alliances, streak rewards, card collections, and minigames drive engagement. With over 12,400 levels by late 2025 (expanding biweekly with 100+ new ones every two weeks), progression is endless—no true endgame—demanding thousands of hours, especially for F2P players facing aggressive difficulty scaling and near-miss designs that push impulse buys for extra moves or boosters.Analytic Dreamz breaks down its extraordinary success: 300M–370M+ downloads, lifetime revenue surpassing $5–7B (with $1.3–1.4B in 2024–2025 alone, topping casual/puzzle charts), and ~55M MAU. Dream Games, now valued at ~$5B following a major 2025 CVC Capital Partners investment (providing liquidity to early VCs while founders retain majority control), dominates match-3 IAP revenue share through masterful user acquisition (heavy Apple Search Ads, creative pin-pull campaigns) and retention via live ops—no ads interrupting play.Praised for smooth UX, polish, and uninterrupted experience (4.7/5 store ratings), it faces criticism for paywalls, "rigged" difficulty spikes, Super Hard levels, and misleading ads. A 2024 gambling lawsuit in Washington alleged coin purchases resemble gambling, though no major resolutions noted. Sequel Royal Kingdom (2024) adds PvP and ranked play, already generating hundreds of millions.Join Analytic Dreamz to unpack how Royal Match redefined mobile puzzle dominance through relentless monetization, UA strategy, and live service mastery, turning Dream Games into a top global publisher. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Lenny Rabin, founder of direct advertising group Brown Boots and their reward app platform Go-Kart, joins Taylor Lobdell to dissect the evolution of rewarded user acquisition, focusing on how direct publisher-advertiser relationships can solve long-standing industry inefficiencies. Rabin, with over a decade in rewarded traffic and ad tech, explains why most publishers dislike third-party monetization platforms, how custom tech stacks like Go-Kart enable deeper, more transparent deals, and what both advertisers and publishers must do to thrive in an increasingly mainstream and competitive rewards ecosystem. This episode tracks the practical realities of running direct-sold inventory at scale, dives into shifts in audience intent (from GPT sites to fintechs), and breaks down why most campaigns fail. Rabin also shares founder lessons for building in ad tech without an engineering background.Questions addressed in this episode:What's the origin story behind Brown Boots and Go-Kart?Why do most publishers dislike monetizing via third-party networks?What core problems do direct publisher-advertiser relationships solve that networks can't?What are the unique challenges in building a tech stack for rewarded offers?How does Go-Kart's programmatic model differ from legacy platforms?Who is the ideal client for Brown Boots vs. Go-Kart?What major changes has Rabin seen in rewarded marketing over 15 years?How do publisher audiences shape campaign strategy and outcomes?What retention and LTV signals matter most for performance marketers?What timeline is realistic for testing new rewarded channels?Where do most advertisers and publishers fail in UA campaign collaboration?What's Rabin's advice for ad tech founders without a technical background?Timestamps:(0:04) – Intro and Lenny's background(0:27) – Brown Boots & Go-Kart origin story(1:55) – Direct publisher-advertiser relationships explained(3:22) – Building custom tech for publishers(5:20) – Ideal customer for Brown Boots and Go-Kart(6:30) – Fintech, UA, and why rewarded offers are growing(9:00) - What has changed the most in rewarded traffic acquisition(11:15) – How intent differs between GPT sites and fintech audiences(13:05) - How does that change the value proposition for app marketers(13:45) – Advertiser mistakes: not understanding publisher audiences(15:06) – How long to test new channels; why 90 days matters(16:46) – The retention metric and why it drives value(17:46) – Go-Kart's programmatic disruption(18:18) – Why last-mile delivery in rewarded UA is broken(21:00) – The tech stack vision: features, flexibility, and future(27:00) – Lessons in building ad tech as a non-engineer(35:00) - Rapid fire roundQuotes:(1:05) "Publishers wanted less opaqueness in the revenues that they were making and also deeper partnerships with the advertisers."(5:00) "Rewarded traffic is a medium which continues to grow and is becoming more mainstream."(6:46) "Any app that has a core product offering not related to rewarded marketing and has a rewarding mechanism is a good target."(11:29) "On a GPT site, users come to the site specifically to earn rewards... Your quality of your user is inherently low."(13:55) "Every publisher will have a specific and unique audience and catering the campaign specifically to that audience is a big miss."(21:55) "Let's not be spending our time dealing with data loss and dealing with small decisions.

 In September, Olivia Miller returned to Eugene to start her new position as the executive director of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon. She earned a master’s degree in art history from UO in 2009 and most recently served as the director of the University of Arizona’s Museum of Art in Tucson.     Miller curated two exhibits at UA’s art museum that featured works selected from Schnitzer’s vast art collection, including “The Art of Food,” which traveled to Portland State University in 2022 and other locations around the nation.   Miller joins us to share her experience so far leading the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at UO, as well as her priorities and future plans for it, which may include offering a class on art theft. It’s a subject Miller has some experience with after successfully leading the return and restoration of a painting by abstract artist Willem de Kooning that was stolen from University of Arizona’s art museum four decades ago.

Sa ia aumaia oe i le 364 aso i le 2025, ma o le a e vaai i le uiga o le asō i le olioli, i le suafa o Iesu. Na aliae mai afā ao faagasolo le tausaga, na agi mai matagi malolosi, ae na puipuia i tatou e le Atua. Na ia leoleo i lou ola e ui na taumafai mai le tiapolo e faaumatia ia te oe. Ou te manao e faaalu ni nai minute e te vivii ai ma le moni i le Alii. Afai o le 2025 o se tausaga na pito sili ona lelei mo oe, ou te manao e tau ia te oe, e iai aso e sili atu i le lumanai. O le a foai atu e le Atua ia te oe se tusi fou e 365 itulau e lei tusia ai se mea. O ona manatu e faatatau ia te oe e lelei lava ( Ieremia 29:11), ma ua ia agai e muamua atu ia te oe  e saunia le 2026 ia manuia mo oe. Na e ui ea ini mea e lē lelei i lenei tausaga? Ia fiafia mai, o le a faafouina e le Atua mea uma. O le a faafoisia e lou tama mea uma na e leiloa (Ioelu 2:25), ma o le a ia saunia se amataga fou i le 2026, i le suafa o Iesu. Le au pele e, ao e ulufale atu i le 2026, ou te manao ia e faia mea nei:Ia manatunatu loloto i mea uma na faia e le Atua mo oe, ma faafetai ia te ia, ia faulai. O ia lava le mafuaaga o loo e tulai pea e oo mai i le taimi nei. Ina faagalogalo mea uma na tutupu ia te oe i le taimi ua tuanai. E le mafai ona e agai i luma pe afai o loo taulai pea lau vaai i mea ua tuanai. Afai e tele mea na e ausia i le 2025, e manaomia lou taumafai pea agai i luma e pei o Paulo aua e sili atu pea mea e manaomia ona ausia ( Filipi 3:13-14). Afai foi na e ui i mea e lei ausia, ia taofia nei lou faitauina o mea ua leiloa. Taulai lau vaai ia Iesu, e mautinoa e na te avatu le manuia i le 2026 ( Salamo 121:1-2). Ia mamao ‘outou ma mea leaga ‘ese‘ese uma lava. (1 Tesalonia‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬). E le mafai ona e manumalo i mailei ma mea faalavelave ua faia e le fili ia te oe, pe afai o loo e faatagaina pea le agasala i lou olaga. E taofia e le agasala ona e alualu i luma e tusa ma fuafuaga a le Atua mo oe i le 2026. Aua e te faatagaina le tiapolo e faoa mea pito sili ona lelei ua saunia e le Atua mo oe i le tausaga fou. Ia taulai ma tumau lau vaai ia Iesu. E te manaomia o ia i le taimi nei e sili atu muamua. Faataga o ia e uu ou lima, ia e usitai i ana faatonuga ma le atoatoa, ona lelei ma manuia lea o mea uma mo oe. Ua na o i latou e naunau e mulimuli ia te ia ma le loto atoa ma usitai i ana faatonuga uma, e aai i le lelei i le 2026 (Isaia 1:19). O loo saunia e le Atua mea matagoie mo oe i le isi 365 aso. I le suafa e sili i suafa uma lava, ou te tatalo e te lē misia mea lelei uma ua saunia e le Atua mo oe i le 2026.

Ua matua faatumuina i le olioli ma ua matou fiafia ma ia. E tolu aso mulimuli ane ua sau ia te a'u ma fesili mai, ‘e moni ea e faamagalo e Iesu agasala uma?' Ona ou tali atu lea, ‘ioe'. Ua tali mai, ‘ae ete lei faalogo i mea uma na ou faia. O le amioleaga na ou faia e matua leaga ma ailoga na te mafaia ona faamagaloina mea uma'.

Ua mavae le isi tolu aso ua toe foi mai ma faapea mai, ‘e te lei faalogo i mea uma na ou faia'. Ona ia faamatala mai lea o agasala eseese na ia faia. Na ou fai atu ia te ia o le taimi e tuuina ai e se tagata lona ola ia Keriso, e tuuina atu e le Atua iai latou ni amataga fou'. Na faifai pea lona toe foi mai ia te a'u i ni agasala na ia faia na ia manatu e leaga tele ailoga e mafai e Iesu ona faamagalo seia oo i se tasi aso na ia faapea mai, ‘a mafai e Iesu ona faamagalo le agasala lenei e tasi o le a ou tau atu ia te oe, ou te lē toe popole la.

O soo se taimi e ole atu ai Tavita i le Atua e faamagalonia te ia ma faamamaina o ia mai ana agasala, na faia lava e le Atua. E pau le finagalo o le Atua, o so'o se taimi e te faia ai le agasala, ia moni ona e salamō . Le au pele , afai e te salamō moni mai au agasala, e faamaoni o ia ma amiotonu e faamagalo ia te oe (1Ioane 1:9). O le salamō moni pe afai e le toe faia e lea tagata le agasala ina ua maea ona faamagalo o ia e le Atua. O le alofa mutimutivale o le Atua e lē faatuaoia, peitai o lona loto faamagalo e tatau ona fanau mai ai se loto ua suia ia te oe. O le toto o Iesu e faamamaina i tatou mai agasala uma, i le suafa o Iesu, Amene.

There's a mystical moment in every adventurer's life when you stare deeply into your character sheet, question every subclass you've ever loved, and think: "Is this really better… or did they just rename it again?" Welcome to the UA 2025 Subclass Update—where barbarians downgrade, fighters glow-up, monks chug things, and paladins summon skeletons with the enthusiasm of a dad discovering Bluetooth for the first time. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the team dives into the Unearthed Arcana 2025 Subclasses Update, a grab bag of returning classics and rebalanced favorites from the 2014 rules. Some subclasses got fresh polish; others… got "updates." Randall, Ash, and Tyler walk through each major subclass, offering analysis, jokes, and a metric ton of sandwich discourse. Covered Subclasses: Path of the Spiritual Guardian Barbarian – Once the iconic barb tank, now notably nerfed. The new "choose-your-effect" system softens its once-reliable battlefield control. Result: "Meh, but fixable." Path of the Storm Herald Barbarian – A clear upgrade with better scaling, damage options, and flexible aura selection. A quiet winner in this UA. Cavalier Fighter – Surprisingly buffed. Constant marking, battlefield lockdown, and double reactions at high level. The table unanimously loves the glow-up. Warrior of Intoxication Monk – Formerly Drunken Master. New Mystic Brews add fun, flavor, and chaos—but the name flops harder than spilled ale. The team unanimously prefers "Warrior of Libations." Oathbreaker Paladin – Now with better necromancy tools and improvements to Aura of Hate. Gains Conjure Undead to avoid relying on friendly necromancers. Not perfect, but more self-sufficient. Key Takeaways Spiritual Guardian took a noticeable hit, losing its fully reliable taunt-and-protect combo in favor of weaker pick-one options. Storm Herald received meaningful boosts, including scalable aura damage and flexible environment selection. Cavalier emerges as one of the strongest defenders in the UA thanks to unlimited marking and battlefield control. Warrior of Intoxication has fun ideas but clunky execution, suffering from naming issues and overly slow brew mechanics. Oathbreaker finally feels like a playable subclass on its own, thanks to Conjure Undead and improved aura integration. Overall: a mixed bag, but with more wins than losses—and lots of potential polish before the final books. Join the RPGBOT Patreon Love episodes like this? Want to shape them as they happen?

If you're spending money on paid app marketing, Meta Ads, ASA, CTV, or influencer campaigns, you need to understand what's really working behind the scenes.AppsFlyer just rolled out its biggest product release yet, launching 8 new tools for app marketers. In this video, Steve P. Young breaks down the 2 most game-changing tools for UA managers and how they're transforming the way we measure performance:

FNaF 2 crushes box office expectations, proving (again) that game IP owns Hollywood. We break down Matthew Ball's take on the EA/PIF deal, why 93% ownership signals a sports-media empire play, not an LBO, and why the press got the story wrong.Then: the Nex Playground, a $200 kids' console that quietly outsold PS5 in November. Is this the next underserved frontier in family gaming?We also tear into UA financing schemes masquerading as “cohort funding.” Spoiler: the effective interest rates rhyme with credit-card debt, and studios have died using them.Call of Duty launches an apology tour for Black Ops 7 and vows to stop annualized crunch. We assess the odds.And we close with AppLovin beating Google on Android e-commerce ads, inside Google's own OS. A massive signal for the future of UA as e-comm competition starts eating the gaming pie.

AI tools like Sora, InVideo, and Arcads.ai make it easier than ever to create stunning videos — but what really matters is your strategy.In this episode, we break down five proven content frameworks that help app founders and marketers create videos that actually convert:
