ACEN LOL Tournament

Mephisto Mori/ April 8, 2016/ Video Games/ 1 comments

Greetings, Summoners! It looks like I’ll be expanding my yearly quota of LOL Tournaments hosted by running one at Anime Central this year. Radical, I know. That means you’ll get the same World9Gaming and Mephisto experience at a new venue… this time in a dedicated LAN Room in the Hyatt Regency O’Hare Hotel. I can’t wait to host it but in the meantime, you’ll

ACEN, Incoming

Mephisto Mori/ April 8, 2016/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Looks like World9Gaming is a go for ACEN’s video game room. Which means my services have once again been tapped for running the LOL Tournament. Personally, I’ve decided to step it up and play a more active role in the other tournaments. Wish me luck.

Delayed Reaction: AMKE

Mephisto Mori/ April 8, 2016/ Video Games/ 0 comments

AMKE was a huge success. The stream/tournament was well received, had a great tournament, and ran smoother than last year (no pulled fire alarms or smoking PCs). A sincere thank you to everyone that participated. Props to my World9 homies who continue to put together the finest game rooms in the Midwest. I can’t wait for ACEN. In a related

One Week Until AMKE

Mephisto Mori/ March 4, 2016/ Video Games/ 0 comments

We’re only one week away from AMKE which means I’ll be devoting an awful lot of time to running the LOL Tournament during the afternoons. Then the late evenings afterwards will be devoted to getting a level of drunk that borders on irresponsible when I have a tournament to run in the morning. Speaking of being irresponsible. The tournament has

AMKE League of Legends Tournament Update, the Third: The Updatening.

Mephisto Mori/ February 29, 2016/ Video Games/ 1 comments

In the spirit of preparation, I’ve made a Battlefy page for the Anime Milwaukee 2016 League of Legends Tournament. I figure the more preparation I do now, the smoother the tournament will run when the time comes. Battlefy is the third-party program I used for the bracketing last year. It worked out then so I’m using it again this year. I

Screaming Into the Void

Mephisto Mori/ February 27, 2016/ Video Games/ 0 comments

I’m addicted to escapism and allergic to reality. It might be an illness of this Age. My plight as just one more drop in the shifting sea of so-called Millennials is to just scream into the void, ignorant of the vacuum, hoping for a response.  Mistaking flickers of light through the distortion as contact from another world. A violent smile and clenched

Anime Milwauke 2016 Update: LOL Tournament

Mephisto Mori/ February 22, 2016/ Video Games/ 1 comments

Good news, everyone! It’s official, I’ve gotten us prize support from Riot for the League of Legends tournament that myself and the folks at W9G will be hosting at Anime Milwaukee this year. Turns out Rito has changed the procedure a bit on me for receiving and doling out prizes so there were some extra hoops involved but I persevered and

Mephisto Mori/ February 11, 2016/ Video Games/ 0 comments

I occasionally guest appear on a local podcast here in Milwaukee called Branching Dialogues produced by the multi-talented David Geisler and the Technophiles Podcast Network. The latest episode is about my experience with AGDQ 2016. Here it is: I didn’t do the best job of properly name dropping the individuals I met or spent more than a passing moment with

Geek Reign: A New Status Quo

Mephisto Mori/ February 7, 2016/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Originally published on May 5, 2015, winsomnia.com. I’ve since refined my thoughts on the subject.  If you haven’t been paying attention the last decade, there has been a changing of the guard. Art, the internet, and entertainment are being sculpted by a new and powerful group of people. It’s not your fault if you didn’t notice. This new status quo has
