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. Enjoy guys!

    Dragon Age; Beanquisition

    Good tidings to you!So I've clocked around 100 hours of "Dragon Age; Inquisition" on the PS4, and that's coming at it with no background knowledge. Never played the previous games, read the books, know the memes, etc. Just jumping into a big 'ol fantasy world. I had a great time though and wanted to give my very poorly articulated history of the world, as well as some insights about my play-through.Possibly more of this game coming soon, I hear there's cheap DLC available. Hope everyone is keeping safe, healthy and alive out there. Masks on people! Cheers

    A Series of Serious Pods, To Go!

    We're living in an uncomfortable time. The global pandemic is only compounded by the fact that there's no movies/sports, an economic depression is looming, murder hornets are on the way and now we're on the brink of a race war. That's an exaggeration but it's still not great. I've been grappling with what's been transpiring as much as the next person, and in a series of recordings over the past week I've tried to make some sense of things. We're of course learning new things everyday and moving forward which is great. But the momentum, the right momentum, needs to continue to prevent an easy slip back into the pitfalls of the past.

    A Shortened Bean Podito

    Hey hey. So I can`'t even remember what``'s in this episode, it's been that kind of a month. Anyway, I'm back with another episode, for whatever that's worth! (?)

    Back in Beans

    This is post time-skip, so to speak.Coming back to the game after a few month hiatus. Raising a human and working a job, but also starting my own business on the side has left a narrow margin of time for fun things. And somehow Fallout 4 has been getting a lot of it. I think content will be a little edgier moving forward, and maybe expect it every few weeks to start. I'll get faster I promise. Thanks for listening.

    Boats and Joes

    Like everyone else in the universe, I had an opinion on Joker. I liked it, listen to hear the specifics I guess. Cheers!

    Error, Podcast Not Found

    I can't remember when I made it, or even what it contains. Such is often the nature of this podcast so I'm rolling with it. Expect a few episodes to be published all at once soon, and then more to trickle in. Thanks for tuning in and your patience.

    Once Upon a Siesta, with a lil' Halo 3 sprinkled in

    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.

    SDCC is here, so let's get opinionated!

    That's right, it was nerd Mecca last weekend, and as per usual that means we got teased with the upcoming docket of shows and movies. Just like with everything else, Disney was there to outdo everyone and unzip/flop out their schedule onto the table. I'd felt a bit of a different reaction than in previous years, mostly because I feel disinterested in a substantial majority of things coming out. Now, I'm not an a*****e. Neither am I a bigot, fascist or anything else you can be called for disagreeing with the status quo. But the fact is we've got to talk about the Disney+ lineup, and these Subscription Wars as a whole (which are coming fast). I don't care for a lot of the I.P.'s they're basing the content on, and I'll go as far as to say some of the casting similarly isn't great. But I do love Marvel, so I give them a grain of salt and a fair shake. Hopefully I'm way off base with my predictions on this upcoming season, but who knows.I've also been having big developments in the world of fathering. As Arthur gets cuter, he gets comparably smarter too, making entertaining him more of a hands-on task. Also, he had a full "throw-up" (not just some weak ass "spit up") and it was straight out of the Exorcism. Like a fountain from the mouth. Good times.Lastly we're (again) approaching the end of a Fortnite season. So if you've been slacking on your dailies, weeklies or Fortbytes, now is the time! Truthfully, the latter wasn't really worth all that trouble. I'm sitting at a 97% completion, and don't even care enough about the 100% reward costume to continue. But the games' always fun, and they're still packing in new weapons and game modes daily right up until the end. Between facing the summer heat, and staying in for a nice, cool glass of Fortnite...what would you  choose?Thanks for tuning in guys, see you next week.
