Infinite Lives and Games

???

In this episode of Infinite Weekly, we are diving into mobile gaming! More specifically, we're exploring how mobile gaming has impacted the modern gaming world, with microtransactions and difficulties in big company games on modern gaming consoles.

Joining us today is Marco Kruger, who is a casual gamer and offers his perspective not only on mobile gaming but also brings up topics such as video games now being more of an experience rather than just a game to complete. We also talked about how both of us grew up with games and noticed that not only did we mature as individuals, but so did the gaming landscape!

This is truly a conversation by the campfire you don't want to miss.

It's time for MORTAL KOMBAT!!! With the announcement of the upcoming new Mortal Kombat 1 title, I thought it would be a great time to take a look back at the history of the Mortal Kombat franchise. I am talking about all the games, movies, lore, characters, and everything else that this amazing gaming franchise has brought to us for three decades now!

This is going to be a two-part series since there's just so much to talk about when it comes to the world of Mortal Kombat. Part 1, here today, will focus on all of the games, characters, lore, and the influence MK has had on the world. Part 2 will focus on all the movies, shows, comics, and fan-made projects!

Joining me to discuss all things Mortal Kombat is a very old friend of mine by the name of Jose Gonzales, who I believe loves this series just as much, if not more, than I do! If you love anything that has to do with the MK universe, whether it was a particular title, a character, or the Konquest mode from Mortal Kombat Deception, these episodes have it all! And this is also a good refresher to set you up for the brand new game releasing soon. So let's goooo!!! And remember to stay healthy, stay safe, stay TOASTY, STAY INFINITE!!!

A Live service game is a game that is constantly given new content added after launch and are designed to keep you playing and engaged for a long time. Despite a rough launch in 2017 Destiny 2 continues to be played by thousands around the world. Destiny has always had its dedicated fan base but why? What keeps players coming back? Is it the player vs player experience? The Deep Story? The Incredible challenges accomplished with friends!?

Some deep conversations also arise today as Jashson and I talk about these developers who are making and changing or beloved games. Sometimes these developers can get a lot of hate but the truth is these people are just like you and I with friends and families despite what the cooperate overloads might make them do for money. Other topics include enjoying our personal journeys to whatever we want to accomplish and much much more!

(Just an FYI this podcast was recorded before some expansions and updates were released for the game Destiny 2; however, the concepts and ideas thrown in this episode are still valid not only for this game but for any other live service games and challenges in your life.)

Video game remakes and remasters have been all the rage these past couple of years. There have been some highs and some lows but I think its safe to say we now have a couple of titles that should be perfect examples of how to do any remake/remaster moving forward. The most recent example of a remake done to near perfection is the recently released Dead Space remake.

There was a lot to be worried about when this game was first announced because the original Dead Space was such a classic and was just THAT good. Cut scenes and fear factor were both in question as well as would anyone even care about going back into space and dealing with things beyond our imaginations after the release of the lack luster The Callisto Protocol? Would the people behind this remake give it the compassion, time and love that this classic truly deserved?

On this episode of Infinite Weekly we once again have Jake AKA Jaku helping us unpack the greatness that is this Dead Space remake. Jake and I have talked in length about the original Dead Space in a pervious podcast episode so if you have not checked that out that episode we highly recommend you do. This episode here was truly a joy to be a part of and so awesome to once again step into the world of action survival horror with Dead Space remake.

Infinite Weekly is back with my predictions and theories about the brand new, upcoming, Resident Evil Netflix series! And of course we have to address the announcement of the Resident Evil 4 remake!

In this brand new episode of the Infinite Lives and Games podcast I go solo mode into the two main reasons why I think the show is going to be another load of trash, why I think Wesker is alive in the show and in the actual games. Finally, we also address the remake of Resident Evil 4 and what I am excited about.

With the horrible track record of writers and producers doing these movie adaptations of my beloved franchise I really have lost faith…especially after that last Resident Evil movie titled Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. We don’t even have to mention the Resident Evil movies that came before that one because we all know how bad those were. It’s all about the money for these people. And!!!!!! let’s not pretend we are all not tired of the post apocalyptic zombie scenario! It’s been out for far too long and it does not focus enough on the areas that matter the most like character development, human interactions and things that come with dealing with zombies!

Season 3 of the Infinite Lives and Games podcast is here! Get ready because its going to be our longest and most diverse and fun yet! To start the new season we have yet another special episode with a special guest by the name of James Daniello. While this podcast is about different types of games and our experiences behind them we here at Infinite Lives and Games focus mostly on video games. And I'm willing to put out that at one point in any gamers life we have thought about creating, changing, designing or developing a game of our own. 

Today James Daniello shares his journey into actually becoming a game developer! We get to talk about what it takes to get into the field, the different routes you can get into, what the day to day job looks like and even managing a team and getting a product out! There are often misconceptions about game design and game developing as well misconceptions about the people behind these big projects and we bring it all out!

Music in video games! Every single gamer knows that without music some of these experiences would not be what that they are today; it surprises me however, that this topic is not in a lot of big conversations when it comes to video games. Although it has gotten better over the years music in video games has not been given the limelight it deserves! A lot of people will without a doubt recognize the Super Mario Brothers theme, and almost every single gamer will tell you about Stickerbrush Symphony by the legendary David Wise for Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. I just like everyone else who grew up with video games will sit down and tell you the impact a lot of these soundtracks have had on our lives. The Stories! The Memories! 

Season 2 of the Infinite Lives and Games podcast closes out with a very special episode and a very special guest! LennyJ who is a rising, musical solo artiest, changing the landscape of the music industry sits down with us today as we discuss video games music threw the ages, we talk about famous musical composers, favorite gaming soundtracks, talk about the inspirations behind his work and of this wonderful persons career and what he aims to do to change the world with his music. There is so much to unpack in this episode that you just might have to listen to this thing twice!

This week marks the 1 year anniversary of the Infinite Lives and Games Podcast! It has truly been an awesome experience putting this show together and having people come on to share with the world their stories, their experiences, their lessons learned, with the games they enjoy. Multiple times threw out this first year of creating this beautiful thing I almost called it quits because of self sabotage. Self sabotage I learned strikes hard when you are about to level up, accomplish something big or step into a new version of yourself. I became afraid to step into who I was meant to become to lead the charge for what this podcast is supposed to do!
