Jaurice SmileyTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Jaurice Smiley. Jaurice had a pretty decent career as a professional gamer in the Smash Bros competitive gaming community. Afterwards, while in college, Jaurice decided to start writing young adult - science fiction novels. In this episode, we discuss his competitive gaming career, and what made him decide to become an author. We talk about his trips to several states; and how those trips inspired some of the locations for his writing. We also chat about his love of hip hop, specifically the unique sound of 'The Dirty South', and how this style of music helped inspire some of his writing. We do wander a bit while talking about his time in Texas, and his thoughts on some Texas delights like: Whataburger, Buc-ee's, and Trill Burger. Finally, we dive into Jaurice's writing. His first novel is called Taurian, and finds it's roots in an older video game called Metroid. He tells me what the book is about (NO SPOILERS), and some of the real life events that helped bring these characters to life. We then talk a little bit about his book of short stories called The Royal Gray Box. We touch on how he found his publisher, and what their relationship is, before discussing the artist who drew the covers of his books. Taurian, and The Royal Gray Box are both available on Amazon; as well as BlackGoldPublishing.com. Enjoy!

I've never met a person who wanted to not live free. The trick with human beings is that we're all seeking freedom from different things, people, places, and ideas. One man's prison is another's retreat. In last week's edition, What Sets You Free (paywall is now down) I outlined how the Jedi and Sith differ on what defines freedom, and how it relates to our own struggles with living the kind of lives we'd like to live. Today I have something else for you to consider, a controversial point — no doubt. Which is that freedom and subjugation may depend only on your perspective. After all, when we're talking about Star Wars' philosophy, even a blind man can see more clearly than those with functioning eyes. But first! and took How The Force Can Fix The World and the message of This Is The Way on the road to North Carolina Comicon in Durham. Many of you reading this today are folks we met on the convention floor, again — welcome! Stephen gave a talk to a live audience about Star Wars' & Empathy titled “The Call of Heroes". That call is to look beyond the masks and illusions of people who frighten and confuse us. That talk will be posted on YouTube soon. In the meantime, this 4-minute video is a sneak peek into our journey and what it was like preparing for for NC Comicon and spreading our message about how Star Wars makes us better. In Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, we meet Chirrut Îmwe, a Force-wielding mystic and adherent to the Jedi way. He is no Jedi, but this blind monk of the planet Jedha would have made a great one, if not for the Empire's rise. Chirrut finds himself captured by anti-Imperial militants along with Cassian Andor and Baze Malbus. They sit together in a shoddy prison cell. Cassian Andor is nervously trying to find a way out. Chirrut says, “Relax, Captain. We've been in worse cages than this one.”Andor snips back, “This is the first for me.”Chirrut Îmwe, the blind monk sitting relaxed behind prison bars and undisturbed by their situation, says….“There is more than one sort of prison, Captain. I sense that you carry yours wherever you go.”Chirrut senses a dark shadow around Cassian. One of guilt, worry, shame, doubt, and anger. All of these things shape Cassian's actions and bear down on him like a wet blanket. Cassian could escape this prison cell and still be a prisoner, of sorts. Chirrut on the other hand, is free as a bird in any situation. This Is The Way is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Just as Chirrut can see clearly through the Force, even without his eyes, Chirrut is not held hostage by his past mistakes or worries. All is, from his perspective, as the Force wills it. It's a perfect encapsulation of the philosophy of Epictetus (meaning: the acquired one), one of the Stoic greats of 55–135 AD. Whereas many Stoics of the age were wealthy and well-connected, Epictetus was a fellow traveler who was enslaved. He had no freedom in the literal or legal sense, but in his teachings throughout life, he would speak of how he was more free than any man who had ever owned him. A lofty ideal, but worthy of consideration. Chirrut Îmwe, without a doubt, would have identified with this lens on life. Epictetus, whose lectures are captured in the Enchiridion, remarked on how the rich and powerful of Rome would weep over money, status, and possessions. Epictetus had none. His perspective was to guard the freedom he had in his mind. To be uninfluenced by status, uncompromised by concerns over money or belongings — this was liberty. I wanted to keep this message today short, so if you want to go deeper, check out last week's post on defining freedom. In the modern age, we're fortunate to now be raised with an understanding of how unjust (and evil) systems like slavery are. But we should be wary of thinking of chains only in the literal sense. After all, some of us carry our prison with us wherever we go. Make choices this week that lead you toward more freedom to choose. This is the way. A comparison of the Jedi & Sith view of freedom, and how it relates to our very real lives. Will you consider joining us as a Paid Supporter of This Is The Way?

Qui-Gon Jinn is a quote machine. Probably more than any Jedi Master in Star Wars, even more than Yoda. During his one film, Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon delivers a quip to Jar Jar Binks that is more important than you may realize. Jar Jar almost gets them both killed. Qui-Gon is a tad flustered by this and asks, “What are you, brainless?” Jar Jar says back, “I can speak”Qui-Gon responds, “The ability to speak doesn't make you intelligent.” Many of you receiving this email today are new to This Is The Way and joined us by signing up at our table at NC Comicon. Welcome! We hope this message today is of use to you in the week ahead. I have to repeat this to myself often. Over the weekend I was in Durham, North Carolina for NC Comicon. That's my hometown. It was great to be back and to present a talk in front of a live audience titled, “Fear, Hate, Anger, Not Today” about the most worthwhile virtues of Star Wars.I spoke for about 30 minutes. And if I hadn't significantly edited down my remarks, it could have been closer to 50. The goal of public speaking is not to say everything you want to say, and it's not to say everything that could be said. It's to say what needs to be said. Nothing more. I hope I got that balance right. In a few weeks, we'll share a video of that talk, so you can let me know.If you don't think Qui-Gon has this right, consider Seneca, the Roman philosopher and advisor to the emperor of the Roman Empire. He wrote a lot about speaking and rhetoric, especially in his now-published letters to a friend named Lucilius. In one Seneca writes about the lawyers in Rome:“Even in an advocate (lawyer) I should be careful to allow such uncontrolled speed in delivery, all in an unruly rush; how could a judge (or jury) be expected to keep up with it? —- You will be doing the right if you do not listen to people who are more concerned with the quantity than the quality of what they say.” Seneca doesn't care for fast talkers and ramblers of the Roman legal scene. He brings it up numerous times over the years as he's writing to Lucilius. As I've built a career as a writer, occasional public speaker, and TV commentator, I know this wisdom from Seneca to be true. You want to say memorable things. After all, “bumper sticker wisdom” is called that for a reason. It can fit on a sticker, and people want to share it with others. Because it's clever and quick. Essays and monologues aren't nearly as cool as: “Speak less, smile more” (Hamilton) and “Do or do not, there is no try”(Star Wars)This week, try to catch yourself when you're saying more than is necessary. Edit yourself when possible. The truth of your heart and mind shines the brightest when fewer words are getting in the way. This is the way.Thank you for being part of THIS IS THE WAY, a newsletter from Stephen Kent (that's me) and Riley Blanton, about the life lessons and wisdom from within Star Wars and other great stories.This is a free letter that goes out at least once per week with the goal of helping you be the best version of yourself in a crazy world. This newsletter is free, but….there is a paid version as well which gets you more regular emails throughout the week, more tips and tricks for life, the ability to comment on articles, and opportunities to hang out with Stephen, Riley, and other subscribers.

Original broadcast date February 27, 2020. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2020/02/binary-system-podcast-212-parasite-comic-books-and-random-sci-fi/ So the plan was to have a quick talk about an Oscar-winning film and a debriefing on the events of last weekend. It spun out of control within the first fifteen minutes, of course. Listen in as we go over Parasite (many many spoilers), Snowpiercer, Inception, the trailer for the upcoming Netflix Transformers series, the firing of Didio, the books we're reading, the conventions we're getting ready for, twitter's dumpster fire Windblade “discussion,” and more made-up stories about our sponsor. Prefer your podcasts in YouTube form? You're in luck! https://youtu.be/RGmPTNvzv7k This week's outro is a clip from Mirrors by Superhumanoids from their Parasite Paradise album. https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Superhumanoids/Parasite_Paradise/02_-_Superhumanoids_-_Mirrors Correction: the dish cooked in Parasite was called Ramdon, and it's a real thing (combination of Ramen and Udon) and you can find the recipe and a lot of cool information about it here. https://uproxx.com/life/ram-don-recipe-parasite-movie/ Correction the second: Windblade is Flame Toys' first attempt at a female transformer model, they haven't tried an Arcee. (Yet.) Correction the third: yes there is a ton of information about lightsaber crystals and most of it seems to be perfectly canon, we should've checked out Wookiepedia first. https://uproxx.com/life/ram-don-recipe-parasite-movie/ And a clarification: Kathryn mentioned needing to pick up bondo before NC Comicon in March. We probably should have mentioned it's for the EmojiBot helmet, we went into more detail in last week's episode. https://pixelatedgeek.com/2020/02/binary-system-podcast-211-wtnv-162-alpha/ Since there's a lot going on in this episode, here's a breakdown of the timeline: Snowpiercer at 12:20 Inception at 14:32 Netflix Transformers Trailer 17:15 Wildblade model twitter dumpster fire 18:50 Dan Didio and DC stuff 31:50 Andrew Hunter Murray's The Last Day 34:04 T. Kingfisher's latest book 35:43 Character based on our sponsor, and general Star Wars 36:50 Update on the Emojibot cosplay creation and convention plan updates 41:30

Original broadcast date November 15, 2018. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2018/11/binary-system-podcast-152-nc-comicon-limetown-hill-house-and-more-randomness/ With no Night Vale episode to recap this week, we just jumped on every random topic that wandered into our airspace, first saying a few words about the passing of Stan Lee (thank you for so many things we love, Stan) then geeking out about NC Comicon, Chuck Palahniuk, Limetown, The Haunting of Hill House, Wallander and the announcement of a Loki TV show starring Mr. Hiddleston (eeeee!) and then we had an unintentional return to the Binary System Crapfest, where we complained about The Walking Dead, the third season of Daredevil, the first season of The Punisher, and how ridiculous an author's vocabulary can get when they don't want to use the word "boobs." This week's outro music is a clip from Sea by Portrayal. http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Portrayal/SolecismSea/Sea_1116 We mentioned the West Coast Walking Dead Live Tweet, you can join in by following us on Twitter. https://twitter.com/BinarySystemPod

Original broadcast date November 16, 2017. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2017/11/binary-system-podcast-104-all-the-conventions-well-two-of-them-anyway/ That's right, this past weekend Binary System went to ALL the conventions! And by all we mean some. Well, two. But they were really good ones! Listen in as we debrief on the awesome cosplay and panels at NC Comicon: Bull City http://nccomicon.com/bull-city/, and the fantastic art at DesignerCon 2017! https://www.designercon.com/ The NC Comiccon: Bull City photo gallery is here. https://pixelatedgeek.com/2017/11/photo-gallery-nc-comicon-bull-city/ The DesignerCon 2017 photo gallery is here. https://pixelatedgeek.com/2017/11/photo-gallery-designercon-2017/ The panelists who ran the cosplay foam construction panel at NC Comicon are @cazcosplays https://www.instagram.com/cazcosplays/, @jenna_say_what https://www.instagram.com/jenna_say_what/ and @daybeforetheconcosplay. https://www.instagram.com/daybeforetheconcosplay/ The panelists who ran the podcasting panel at NC Comiccon are Name Redacted http://nameredactedpodcast.com/ and Joy of Gaming (or Joy of Geek) https://thejoyofgaming.podbean.com/ podcasts. Gmonik was the designer who made the amazing collage/assemblage piece. https://www.instagram.com/gmonikart/ James DeRosso is the artist who made the hilarious little monster figures at DesignerCon. http://www.monster8all.com/ The guy Elizabeth always buys magnets from at DesignerCon is Human Tree Robot. http://www.humantreerobot.com/ It wasn't rawztoys, it's rawrztoys, who makes the little foxes. https://www.instagram.com/rawrztoys/ The stick person gif we were giggling about is here. (NSFW!) https://tenor.com/view/fuck-this-shit-angry-stickman-table-flip-mad-gif-16607806 Correction: Rats, fandom fail. Not only did I mispronounce the Instagram name for @daybeforetheconcosplay, https://www.instagram.com/daybeforetheconcosplay/ I also COMPLETELY misidentified the Captain America costume he was wearing. After a quick google image search I can confirm that the one he had on for NC Comicon was the one from Avengers: Age of Ultron, NOT the WWII costume from Captain America:The First Avenger.

We're hittin' the arcades and those sticky, day-glo carpets are gonna be blood-soaked! In this episode of Nerdy Show we've mashed up two listener requested Microsode topics: Arcade Games and Fighting Games and we've got so much to say it's gone overtime. Join Cap, Brandon, Jonathan and Andrew from Wicked Anime, and Briggs and Wall from Ghostbusters: Resurrection as we recollect on the titles of our misspent youth in 90s arcades - from classic titles to the most obscure cabinets we can remember. Hear our triumphs in those darkened, hallowed grounds as well as our greatest defeats. Then it's on to that special subset of the arcade that made its way to the home console: fighting games. What's the difference between fighting games, beat 'em ups, and sports titles? What are our favorite games and who are our mains? And what are some of the weirdest early 90s fighters we can remember? All these and more, just INSERT COIN. Thanks to Sean Redd and Hexual for the topics and come see Cap and Aaron at NC Comicon in Durham, NC November 13-15.

We try Galahad, have thoughts, and live to tell them. Sean buys a new Skeletor-indorsed car for his family, which transforms the show into Car Talk for a few minutes. Kevin and I (and Paris) have fun NCComicon-style, there's a small Interstellar review, and I finally buy a PS4 so I can play Assassin's Creed Unity. Lately, everyone's upset about one thing or another, and we've collected our thoughts about one slice of the "Offensive Pie" - How to not piss off folks who don't fit in the gender binary.  There are several ways your conversation can go wrong when speaking with someone who is transgendered, non-heterosexual, et cetera.  The good news is that your intent can be a life saver. We also discuss things from the other side of this "divide" as folks who fit the binary, but who also want to educate themselves, make everyone feel welcome, but also don't want to be yelled at for trying :) Tables are flipped over "Surprise Christmas," corporate speak, and mismanaged convention spaces. Oh, and we invent a mascot for the argumentative geek - "Will Actually." Mating Habits of the Modern Geek: Love and Dating within Your own Species - your comedy source for relationship advice for geeks and nerds! Links!

"A Stain That Will Not Erase" CONTENT ADVISORY: NSFW language, unless you work in a cool place where they don't mind a lot of swearing and southern accents. Our first episode with a title! The phrase just lent itself so well... SPOILER ALERT Starting at about 30:10 and continuing through to the end, we talk about THOR: THE DARK WORLD in great detail, leading into some discussion about the "Infinity Gauntlet" comic series from Marvel. If you haven't seen the movie or read those comics, we drop some major spoilers for both. Consider yourself warned. END SPOILER ALERT So yes, we talk about THOR: THE DARK WORLD for most of this week's show, but before that we have our wrapup of NC Comicon and the ComiQuest Film Festival, as well as a little more talk about the X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST trailer. BIG NEWS! In case you missed the announcement in the last episode, we'll be sponsoring an upcoming film in the RetroClassics Film Series at the Carolina Theatre in Durham, NC. Join us on Dec. 6, 2013 at 7pm for GOJIRA! That's right, the original 1954 Japanese classic the world would come to know as GODZILLA! Immediately following GOJIRA will be 1956's FORBIDDEN PLANET. A finer double feature can scarcely be found! Check us out on the web for news, links, and extended show notes:
