Hey there.  I know... I know... we took almost 2 weeks to record a new episode but don't worry guys, we're back!  We had a show scheduled for last week but we had some technical difficulties and we had to scratch the show that was recorded!  It sucks that we cannot use that show that we recorded but we are in the process of rescheduling with Steve Redmond at N0rty Games and having that chat about their awesome shoot em up, Chronoblast!

So on to this week's show!  Special guest, Alex Byrom, from Falchion Games, joins Brian and I this week to discuss their upcoming point and click game, Go to Hell Dave, a dark humor game that is definitely on our radar!  But enough of me babbling, check out the show!  Now, the Get a Life Podcast Ep 11 - The About Go to Hell Dave!!!!  Enjoy!

Looking for video game reviews you say? Well you've come to the right place! Welcome to Press Start. A monthly video game review/preview show by yours truly Brian Alford and my co-host Luke Bayliss. Each month we will be reviewing the games that have come out the month before as well as discussing some of the games that are coming up this month.

I'm sure many of you are scratching your heads wondering why I have decided to call these episodes "Issues" Well I figured that this is a podcast version of a video game magazine so I am going to call each monthly episode an "Issue"

Catch the Jewels of the Titanic Exhibit at the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas Between March 22, 2013 and May 31st, 2013

Hey there.  You know... The Titanic is one popular story and depending on your point of view, it can be a story of overconfidence leading to disaster or a story of negligence leading to loss of many lives.  Regardless of how you see it, millions of people are simply fascinated by the Titanic.  My wife and I are a part of that group.  We have a family vacation scheduled to Las Vegas later this year and I recently found out that there is a Titanic Exhibit at the Luxor Hotel!  And better yet, if you get there before May 31st, you can get to see the "Jewels of the Titanic!"  In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Titanic, a selection of 15 prestigious artifacts found near the wreckage of the Titanic will be displayed the the public in 3 US cities and they are scheduled to be displayed from March 22 to May 31st at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas.  The wife is going to be thrilled!

Hiking at the Turnbull Canyon Trail

A map of the trails available at Turnbull Canyon

Hey there. It's been awhile since the wife and I have gone on a hiking trip. We've been meaning to check out some of the awesome hiking spots here in Southern California but we just haven't found the time.  To be honest, I don't think we've gone for a hike since we last went hiking at Escondido Falls!  That has got to change!  :Last weekend, we decided to get up at 6:30 in the morning and take off to a trail.  Our destination?  The Turnbull Canyon Road Hiking Trails in Whittier, CA.
