Confessions of a Gaming Father: Dads in Games

Mephisto Mori/ July 29, 2013/ Video Games/ 0 comments

I know in my circle of friends Barret of FF7 is somewhat a running joke.  He is 1997 Japan’s idea of African Americans.  Stereotypes saturate his dialogue and just about every aspect of the character without being full-blown racist. Wait a second.  Not full-blown racist? Well… now that, that’s fixed.  You’re welcome Internet. Barret is nearly the most one-dimensional character

Winmas was a Success

Mephisto Mori/ July 29, 2013/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Saturday July 27th, 2013 was the first ever Winmas (better name still pending).  I dragged the TV from my bedroom, one from my basement, and even rigged a pair of PCs and a laptop for maximum fun. Streams were watched, games were played, and there was much rejoicing.  A Mortal Kombat tournament ended the night for most of my friends

Let the Gaming Begin

Mephisto Mori/ July 27, 2013/ Video Games/ 0 comments

I said I’d crawl out of bed at noon and start my own personal gamathon today.  So far so good.  I’m happy to report my attractive, more athletic than nerdy, fiance is running Spyro dragon right now. I got a FF: Tactics run started earlier this week but I think I’ll be switching it up.  Time for Super Mario Brothers

Summer Games Done Quick

Mephisto Mori/ July 25, 2013/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Summer Games Done Quick has begun.  They’re starting big by running Okami.  The awesome thing about featuring Okami, apart from it being an excellent game, is that it’s never been run in a marathon before. I’ve personally taken off for the extravaganza and intend to spend the next four days playing copious amounts of video games, purely for leisure.  Apart

Confession of a Gaming Father: Family Time

Mephisto Mori/ July 20, 2013/ Video Games/ 1 comments

The first time I encountered Silent Hill was the summer following its release.  I was spending the summer up at my Uncle’s house and it was one of the titles he had recently acquired from a big “Andrew’s coming up here” sale.  Parasite Eve and a couple less notable bargain games were also included.  I brought up my beloved Final

16-Bit Saturday, A Gamer Holiday

Mephisto Mori/ July 18, 2013/ Video Games/ 0 comments

As previously mentioned, I intend to start a gamer holiday. I make fun of games pretty hard.  Most of them deserve it.  But even CoD began as a well-intentioned, dime-a-dozen, PC WWII sim.  Between the pay-to-win micro-transactions stifling innovative game design and metacritic clauses in developer contracts killing healthy companies… we need a day to remember what video games are

Video Games for the Uninitiated

Mephisto Mori/ July 17, 2013/ Video Games/ 0 comments

In my Portal 2 Review I assert that the first Portal game is the one I would use to initiate the unfamiliar to modern video games. After much deliberation that list has grown. It’s difficult to find games to recommend to people with little more than a couple Mario levels or Farmville under their belt.  I do think it’s possible
