A good day to you all.

 This was another exploratory episode, where we all get the pleasure of listening to the wide-wide world outside. My mic picks up it all, so enjoy the ambiance of a gentle breeze, trees rustling and of course some cars. I took a bit of a siesta this time, and decided to make the most of some free time and record. I still happen to be foaming at the mouth about how good Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is, so this is the episode to talk about it. What a movie, what a cast, and what a time in both Hollywood and world history. Since Inglorious Bastards is already on my all-time favorite movie list, I knew this one would follow suit. And like we get into; I adore historical revisionist films. Any writer that puts in the effort to create a new, alternative telling of accepted historical situations/truths is alright in my books. Heavy recommendation of this movie if you've not caught it yet.


Halo 3 is GOAT of couch shooters, hands down. I had Goldeneye, Unreal Tournament and nearly every other title that people tote as a contender to H3. But they all fall flat in comparison to the scope Halo, not to mention the fun to be had. The detailed, huge and open world maps created a genuine stage for combat of all kinds. An assortment of land and air vehicles kept the pace quick and invited the ever-challenging dynamic of either monopolizing vehicles, contending with them or most commonly simply blowing a vehicle up lest it fall into enemy hands. My friends and I put hundreds pf hours into uncountable matches, tournaments and skirmishes. I'm sure everyone has an eternal fondness for the game, maybe one day it'll crawl over to a PlayStation remastered edition. Tune in next time for the plot and backstory to the ridiculous and ambitious "machinema" project that we spent way too much time on.


 As usual most of my spare time is spent with podcasts coursing through my head. SinCast is always the Cadillac of pods, and I thought it worth thinking those dudes again. I had my first therapist appointment after getting motivated to do so after the SC Mental Health Week. I know it's a long road ahead, but I already feel some of the benefits of talking to someone and couldn't recommend it more to everyone out there. Healing is neat.


All the best to all ya'll. Expect another episode soon, just waiting to shake off this cold. Who the fuck gets a cold in the Summer? Honestly.

Dork&Beans

Greetings! This podcast is a relaxed space for me (Elliot) to dish out talks on a whole bunch of dorky topics. You like movie reviews? I do 'em! You thoroughly enjoy comics? Well so do I! Whether you want to hear my take on something, throwing around some original ideas, or just listen to like-minded folks with similar interests, you're in the right place. I've always had an appreciation for ASMR videos, being a person who's had a hard time falling asleep for the last 15 years. And my intention was never to create a channel playing it up, but I've been told by a lot of people that in person/in episode my voice has an ASMR-ish quality to it. So why not, feel free to get as many tingles as you can while you're here. All my videos are pretty low energy and devoid of background noises, so that's a plus.Also I'm genuinely happy to hear suggestions and ideas, so if you have something you want covered let's hear it! I like discovering new and weird stuff. So if there's a comic from 1983 that you don't think enough people are talking about, shout it out. Or if you're unhappy that no one is reviewing the latest HeroClix set, let's change that (small crowd for that one).Hopefully you like what you hear, and I'll do my best to make content that doesn't suck. I do all my recordings in one, earnest sitting, without any kind of fancy editing. Or editing at all. So at the very least, I can say it's authentic.
