I'm working on the intro. What I had originally wanted to do is too hard and time-consuming. So I'm throwing a lot of work at the intro as a selling point. Intros are hard. They usually hire an entirely separate company to do them. Think of the opening credits of Game of Thrones or James Bond or The Simpsons or whatever.

Here is a preview of something I'm working on. It's for the intro of HLH. It's Delovoa in his lab. I still have some atmospherics to add.

I took the bag the beef came in, poured in some good soy sauce, added onion salt, cayenne, red pepper, black pepper, garlic salt, liquid smoke, shakey shake. I must have cooked that stuff for 5 hours. I was starving. I'd steal pieces now and then and they were quite tasty. But I've realized I just can't dehydrate meat that thick. It won't ever... Read More
