What makes a good experience? What makes a good musical or novel or movie or gaming experience? These phenomenon's make us feel all types of things and they take us to all types of places. On this episode of the Infinite Lives and Games podcast we are once again stepping into the world of survival horror with a golden gem of a game that not only brings out such a great horror experience but also brings into context of what it means to be put into a world and kept in it. The world of Dead Space calls back and brings to life classic horror movies elements and tropes while at the same time, taking you threw a once in a life time gaming experience.

The guest on todays show is someone with a great knowledge of the film industry as he has dedicated his life to the awesome craft. Jake will take us threw his personal background with the film industry, and talk about one of his favorite games that really gets a lot of inspiration from a couple of the greatest horror films of all time. A big topic to come up on this episode as well is the notion of video games becoming more cinematic experiences rather than full gaming experience.

When was the last time you sat down with a group of friends or family members and enjoyed a nice board game? Its been a very long time for a lot of us and unfortunately it only gets harder as we get older and more and more advanced technology is released to snatch our attention spans away. What if I told you these things brings us closer together than any amount of online stimulation could ever do? What if I told you that actually sitting by the fire....letting your inner child out and being right next to your people was the most fun you could ever have in this world? I'm not saying technology doesn't have its merits because for goodness sakes we can play board games online now. 

On this episode of Infinite Weekly I want to welcome back a special guest from season 1 of the podcast and a very close friend of mine Jeffrey Scott Arroyo (DECA). The last episode we did was on Super Smash Brothers for Wii U and you guys seemed to love this mans voice so it was only right to bring him back! In all seriousness, that episode was such a wonderful time and this episode here on board games is gonna be just as great! Deca has been collecting board games for 3 years now and has introduced his friends including myself into some of the most fun I've had in years. Put your phones away, pull out the table, bring the friends, bring the laughs, bring imagination, bring fun and love because its time to enjoy some good ole board games.

The way a lot of us speak and interact with our lovers, friends, family, teachers, and many others can be very different. The person we bring to the table and present ourselves with in the world adapts and changes to meet needs and certain conditions. It can be extremely difficult to balance all of these. Granted....we all know just being ourselves is key but what happens when you are fighting demons at night? Not the ones in your head but actual demons all while trying to have a normal school life!? You just never know what people are going threw. 

A persona...…..What is a persona? For the first time ever Infinite Lives and Games gets into the popular gaming franchise know as Persona. In this awesome new episode of the show we not only tackle some of the questions that pertain to the Persona universe but also get to discover and learn about lore's, peoples interactions with each other and so much more. We start this journey in one of the earlier titles in the franchise to get to to know how things started...we start with Persona 3.

Christian Vega is our guest on the show today as he takes us threw his gaming history and gets down to what it is that separates Persona 3 from other games in the genre and why it means so much to him. If you liked the episode then maybe check out the man on his gaming twitch channel Twitch.tv/honeybunnheroyt.

You have to love humanity...sometimes we can be the smartest, most powerful, most genuine, most amazing species of this beautiful earth; at the same time however, we can be the most dumbest, most destructive, vile and nastiest things to ever walk the planet. It really makes you think about how much as a collective we still have to grow. On top of all of that and what we stand for here in our own world we are looking for more elsewhere in the universe for other signs of life and planets to explore. What does this mean for us exactly? Who are we really in the grand scheme of things? 

This episode here on the Infinite Lives and Games podcast marks the first episode of Season 2 of the show! What better way to bring in the new season than with a little something different? Today we sit down with our splendid scholar of a guest Nick Eikelberry as we take a look at a series which really hones in on the questions we not only have about our own species but the questions we have about the possibilities that could be waiting out there for us out in the universe.

Whether we want to admit it or not couch gaming hasn't been the same in years. Maybe its because we've gotten older and adulting has kicked in with families, work, and travels or maybe its because gaming companies have moved away from such experiences for online multiplayer and microtransactions; whatever the case, couch gaming has been at the center of many of our found memories. Remember when we used to trade cheat codes for certain games? What about those times you let a friend or you borrowed a game from a friend and kept it for years without even playing it? Today on this great episode of Infinite Weekly we sit down with Jonathan Reyes AKA one of my long time couch gaming buddies as we we sit down by a fire and talk about couch gaming, old school cheat codes, memories and even books!

From the very beginning of mankind's inception its always been about the collective, the community, THE TEAM. Throughout human history we have designed businesses, sports, and education systems around the fact of THE TEAM. People have fought through wars, saved lives, built foundations and monuments using the power of THE TEAM; simply put, as the human race we would not be who and where we are now if it wasn't for working together. In the video game world there are tons of examples and games that gathers individuals together to take on projects, to take on goals, to take on others in hard tough battles for victory but no game does this better than Overwatch.

This episode of Infinite Lives and Games marks the first time we have multiple guests Jason Diaz and Jefferson Luciano along side yours truly Seth Infinite as we sit down and talk about a game that has single handily brought us closer than ever before as friends, brothers and as a TEAM. So many life lessons have been realized while playing this game including, learning to put our egos to the side, self analyzing, and learning to work with different individuals. This gaming space is teaming with life, different characters, flavors, colors and so much passion for teamwork and getting the job done together. As one single unit lets get ready, pick your roles, pick your heroes, and lets march into the battlefield known as Overwatch!
