After the success of Anime Milwaukee 2015’s 5v5 League of Legends tournament, we’re doing it again this year. The tournament will take place in the same AMKE place (the Hyatt Regency in Milwaukee, WI) at a new AMKE time (March 11-13th). World9Gaming will once again be working with the awesome staff at AMKE to run the tournament over the course
On Sunday night sixteen million viewers tuned in to the premiere of the returning science fiction television series, “The X-Files.” To put that in perspective Fox averaged 13.2 million viewers on a day that featured an NFL championship game that brought in 45.7 million viewers. The CBS network averaged a commendable though much lower total of 8.7 million viewers the same day. I’m
This was seriously surprising to me. A game series that I’ve long criticized as cheap, rushed, boring, and overrated finally received the scorn they so richly deserve? I am shocked. The most surprising aspect of it is actually that it took 5 other bad rushed games and a bad RPG for people to realize how terrible the games are. I
As a continual voice of dissent and perpetual naysayer, I feel the need to award Game of the Year 2015 to a game that wasn’t already being lavished with praise years prior to its release.

It can be a conundrum in the software market. Assuming a product does everything it needs to do, is it still cost effective to add more features? What if there’s a
Daniel Fleetwood, the terminally ill Star Wars fan of recent social media fame, got his wish to see an unfinished cut of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. As a bonus he was inducted into the the 501st Stormtrooper unit as an honorary member on November 7th. Today he died at age 32. It’s as though he was hanging on just to see the
This post belongs under the “other” category for site metatags. It’s full-blown lit-nerd, artsy lameness. If you came here for video game reviews or commentary on the geek peripherals, feel free to click one of the links in the bar above or scroll past this one. I won’t be offended. I will, however, be flattered if you like my style or appreciate
It’s probably become apparent by now that I love action-horror and survival-horror games. Any game that’s creepifying or has you fighting demons or the supernatural gets at least a glance from me. It probably says a lot about my psyche that terrorizing virtual demons is one of my favorite pastimes. October presents a great opportunity to get my ghoulish glee
