SGDQ 2015

Mephisto Mori/ July 26, 2015/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Well, I’m at SGDQ this year in St. Paul, Minnesota. It’s pretty freaking awesome. Last night (and all week) my insomnia powers came in handy as I staffed the Practice Room in a clutch to make sure these speed runners could brush up and be ready. Seems I’ll be repeating the feat every night for the rest of the event…

Video Review: Batman Arkham Knight

Audio went out of sync after the upload. I’m sure some Technomancer out there can help me figure out how to correct this issue or provide tips for future uploads. Please feel free to contact me and magicalmistermephisto@gmail.com with your feedback. I’ll figure this PodCast business out eventually… in the meantime enjoy.

I got nothing…

I know it’s been a few weeks of silence and me, the man of many opinions have none to share with you. I apologize. Currently I’m listening to the blues (Junior Kimbrough) and watching my son eat oatmeal and watch PBS kids’ shows. There’s a couple thoughts cycling through my head about my book but no video game ambitions –

Look Out, I’ve finally started posting things to my YouTube Channel

Mephisto Mori/ June 22, 2015/ Video Games/ 0 comments

I was streaming last week to celebrate the Tenth Anniversary of Psychonauts (Unofficially). Chat asked for my opinion on the FF7 Remake and, half a box of wine in, I gave it to them. Part of it is related to the post I made on this very site when it was first announced but honestly it takes a less bravado,

Video Games in Real Life: I’m a terrible person

Mephisto Mori/ June 16, 2015/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Allow me to paint you a picture with words: It’s morning, bright and sunny. I’m standing at the sink in my kitchen washing dishes. It’s a kitchen of the usual sort – a stove, small table, some cabinets, and drawers. The refrigerator is a foot away from where I stand. My wife comes into the kitchen wearing a work appropriate

Touche E3 2015, FF7 Remake Announced

Mephisto Mori/ June 16, 2015/ Video Games/ 1 comments

Okay, E3 2015, I’m ready to talk again. But this isn’t my usual blog post or article, I really need to spill some emotional ink. I’ve got a couple other writings in the works but those must be delayed to talk about something very important. You’ve noticed by now that the news of a certain remake has eclipsed everything else on social media. Positive or negative,

Bloodstained and Unreal Engine 4

Mephisto Mori/ June 11, 2015/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Just a real quick followup to my previous post: Engadget wrote an article 3 hours ago regarding Unreal 4 and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. It’s a quick read and I encourage you to check it out if you’re so inclined. Weird, I know, one site telling you to go to another site. I really just have one thing to say

Bloodstained More than 850% Funded, 34 Hours Left to Go

Mephisto Mori/ June 11, 2015/ Video Games/ 0 comments

I don’t know if you know this about me but Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is one of my favorite games of all time. We’re talking I could assign a numerical “Top Ten” value to it. If you’ve lurked on this site for a while, you’ve heard me namedrop it a few times. It’s usually in a conversation featuring Metal Gear

Hyrule Warriors for 3DS: Pic Related

Mephisto Mori/ June 10, 2015/ Video Games/ 0 comments

I usually refrain from Zelda bashing on my site. There’s two main reasons for that: 1. Low hanging fruit. 2. I actually enjoy a majority percentage of them. For reasons I might bash Zelda games, see my general ramblings on milking IPs through perpetual re-releases and safe sequels. And then see Hyrule Warriors. While the prospect of playing Ganon in a

Not Looking Forward to E3

Mephisto Mori/ June 10, 2015/ Video Games/ 2 comments

Do not misunderstand me, if a semi-well-known to obscure e-zine or website offered me a Press Pass and tickets to E3, I’d leap at the opportunity faster than a kid with ADHD abusing Speed jumps on a trampoline. There are a number of games I’m looking forward to and I enjoy the prospect of new information about them. Hellblade in particular had my interests piqued
