How did I miss this?

Mephisto Mori/ June 21, 2013/ Video Games/ 0 comments

How have I gone nearly 30 years of gaming without seeing this? I’ve lost cred because this is new to me. I consider it an effective commercial. The absurdity and humor I view Zelda with is perfectly captured. Enjoy. I know I did.

A Gamer Holiday and Shameless Advertising

Mephisto Mori/ June 21, 2013/ Video Games/ 0 comments

In late July I plan on starting my own Holiday.  I’m calling it 16-Bit Saturday.  8-Bit is awesome but 16-bit allows the variance I desire for my weekend.  Kidding, it’s because the alliteration. The debacle over the name over; what is this Holiday?  Well it’s a weekend to celebrate our origins.  I say we have a weekend in the summer

Good Cop, Bad Cop

Mephisto Mori/ June 19, 2013/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Long day at “the job that pays the bills,” time to drink beer and talk about video games.  Before I get started, I’d better read the submission from Juliana our newest crew. Give me a moment, I’ll be back. … Okay I’m back. Wow, she’s so pleasant.  I’m so opinionated and mean.  It’s like we’re creating a good cop bad

Calibreak My Heart

A lone manly tear welled in my eye upon seeing this on Facebook.  I miss that feeling Mass Effect used to evoke.  I miss loving that game.  If only they would finish the series and finally release ME3.  I guess I’ll have to forever imagine what could’ve been.

Yeah, Do That

When Tim Schafer started collecting money for a Psychonauts sequel, I let out an audible sigh. I love Psychonauts.  Like any true gaming elitist prick or kid that saw that one episode of XPlay, Psychonauts is on my top 50 favorites list. The LucasArts adventure games he worked on are all on that same list.  Except the Monkey Islands… I’m

PS4 This Post is NOT about the Interface

Official PS4 Interface Video These may be the most unlikable human beings I’ve ever seen in a video game commercial.  And I remember the Virtual Boy release trailer. “I do need a bottle of Cialis but that guy was unbelievable as a character,”aren’t words I would utter for a number of reasons.  Chief among those reasons being that I’m virile

If it’s good enough for Coco, it’s good enough for me

I just saw photos if Conan O’Brien at the Nintendo booth enjoying the hell out of Mario Cart 8.  You sold me Nintendo.  Now I have to dust off my Wii.  Photographic of Coco Cart 8.

Sharing is Hard

Sharing video games with your friends can be difficult with a console.  Luckily Sony has released this instructional video on how to do it on the next gen console, the PS4. Official PlayStation 4 Used Game Instructional Video

They took the PS2 design and hit ctrl+i

The PS4 looks like the PS2 italicized.  It evokes immediate nostalgia looking at that thing.  Is this excitement I’m beginning to feel? No, I must remain jaded.  Reread that first statement, this time dripping with venomous sarcasm.

PS4 $399

Mephisto Mori/ June 11, 2013/ Video Games/ 0 comments

I was fully prepared to pay 600 dollars for this next generation of consoles.  Both the XB1 and PS4 undershot my expectations and should be commended. At $400 dollars the PS4 is basically coming into my house day 1, and stealing the $400 dollars I keep in my underwear drawer.  I’m not even mad because he’s hanging out afterwards and
