The Benzium ShowEpisode 11 Star Wars The Clone Wars and what I plan for itThere is a little bit of a spoiler warning on this episode for those that have yet to see The Clone Wars. But I talk about what I've been busy with in terms of the content I've been exposed to and what mindset I approach them with. I'd like to get more details about the stories of some of my favourite characters from the franchise and The Clone Wars seemed like a good place to start. Been hesitant as it initially aired on Cartoon Network but after the first few episodes, those fears have been put to rest. I...

The Benzium ShowEpisode 9 Motherland: Fort Salem Season 1 thoughtsSpoiler Warning, as I mentioned at the beginning of the episode, if you haven't seen the show, go watch it, then come back cause I talk about the whole season here. I am really enjoying the show so far and it has made me stop watching as other shows have with the portrayal of the story. There are some parts where I question the use of CGI but they are quite negligible for the moment in season 1. If you have any thoughts you'd like to share with me about the episode or the show, you can either send me...

The Benzium ShowEpisode 7 Guild Wars and touch baseBeen away for a little while so I hope you didn't miss me too much. Been processing the emotions that come with the loss of a loved one and last month was overwhelming. But onward and upward as they say. In this episode, I just wanted to touch base and talk about recent happenings, namely been thinking about a cancelled game called Scalebound. Then, Marvel's What If animated series launched this week and what a way for them to start. Next, Guild Wars 2 has big plans in the works and the changes coming should make MMORPG players excited. For...

The Benzium ShowEpisode 6 Mass EffectSpoiler Warning for those that are hearing of this franchise for the first time. I can easily say that this game took up most of my time for a couple of years. The replayability was part of what kept me coming back. But the major part was the story and the medium. This game trilogy will always hold a special place in my heart and as a Star Trek fan, it partially played into that fantasy of mine to command a starship and fight aliens as well as build diplomatic relations with them. If this series covering t...

The Benzium ShowEpisode 5 Tell Me WhySpoiler warning for those planning to play the game. For everyone else, in this episode, I talk about my thoughts on the Tell Me Why game that was free to claim on Steam a couple of weeks ago. I got so engrossed in the game that any time one of the characters said something to the player's character, I felt like they were saying it to me and sometimes that would make me angry as you come to see some aspect of what Transgender people and people in the LGBT+ community face every day. This is an e...

I could myself questioning motives and when you find out why someone did something in...

The Benzium ShowEpisode 3 Game Of Thrones OpinionThis is one of my favourite shows to date. Heavy lore present in the series and you need to pay attention to all the characters and what they say or do or you'll be lost when things are brought up later. Spoiler Warning, if you plan to watch the show and hate spoilers, don't listen to this until after you finish all 8 seasons. If you listen anyway, I tried to warn you. That being said, unless you have read the books, it is a show where you don't know what to expect to pop up. I first th...

The Benzium ShowEpisode 2 Elite Dangerous and what you can expect.In this episode, I wanted to give you an idea of what you will face when starting the Elite Dangerous game. This is the largest game in terms of map size and detail that I have had the pleasure of experiencing and would recommend any space fans that have ever wanted to command their very own ship and fly among the stars to give it a try. The game can be hard to get into, and the learning curve is high, but it will be an experience like no other once you find your way to play....

The Benzium ShowEpisode 1 Dr. Stone - Misconceptions about AnimeIn this episode, I wanted to address some of the misconceptions that people have about Anime. I talk about some examples such as the idea that Anime is for kids purely because of the medium of being animated. The source I use for the misconception can be found here: https://www.theodysseyonline.com/10-common-misconceptions-anime . The source I used for examples of the educational aspects of anime can be found in Dr Stone. It is not the only example of it but it is my favourite at the moment as it uses real-world elements from the periodic table and science...
