Infinite Lives and Games

Are you doing things because you are choosing to do them? Or are you doing them because people are asking them of you? Are you in control of your life? The game Bioshock was truly revolutionary when it took the world by storm upon its release; not only, with its amazing gameplay and atmospheric environment but it made us ask some deep questions about what it means to be a human. The symbolism behind so many items and conversations and themes in this game were truly eye opening. On this episode of Infinite Lives and Games we sit down with the one and only Rio Azul as we talk about his gaming history, musical talents, the amazing artistic character designs of Bioshock and also, how this game has impacted his life since playing it.

Often times a lot of us are told that something is a phase right?

Nostalgia always hits hard for us kids born in the 90s, but nothing hits harder than the sounds of our favorite cartoons and anime’s that used to start playing at 5PM EST on Cartoon Network. You guys know the ones.... Dragonball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho, Sailer Moon, just to name a few! Running home after school to catch the line up of these shows was a well known ritual that single handedly glued millions around the world to their tv screens.

While most of us enjoyed episodes of these amazing adventures and battles in the comfort of our homes a lot of us also, experienced terrible episodes and battles in school that we couldn’t handle or understand. On today’s episode of Infinite Lives and Games we sit down and speak with a very knowledgeable individual by the name of Elvis Salgado who takes us threw his elementary and middle school years as he was bullied, and came to learn and understand social cues as a growing young adult.

Raise your hands and lend us your energy, because we are visiting Dragon Ball Z Budoki, which is now a classic video game from the PlayStation 2 era that helped our friend Elvis get through his troubling times and faithfully captured the essence of one of the best anime’s of the early 2000s, Dragon Ball Z.

On this episode of the Infinite Lives and Games podcast we have a very energetic individual by the name of Elijah Nelson, who talks about how the game Tales of Vesperia and its lead character Yuri Lowell helped him solidify who he was as a person. When people are uncertain of who they are they sometimes try to break down others who are standing tall in their light but because of the awesome power of friendship Elijah was more than capable of standing his own ground when someone came around to take that away from him.
