Edible Happiness

Mephisto Mori/ September 3, 2012/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Video games, mountain dew, and nerds rope… an ancient gaming ritual and the embodiment of true happiness.  Pushing thirty and I still partake in this honored tradition… I’m convinced I’ll never truly grow up.

Winsomnia’s Been in Limbo

My website will be taking a new direction.  Porn.  I will now be hosting porn. I’m lying but maybe mentioning porn a few times will up my Google hit count. The actual new direction involves taking a more blog-like approach to this website business.  More content, my friends assure me, is always better.  So from now on my site will

It’s been a long time

Mephisto Mori/ June 11, 2012/ Video Games/ 0 comments

On a long drive home from western Illinois to eastern Wisconsin, I thought about how long it’s been since I looked forward to an RPG. There was a time when every turn based rpg was something I relished. I passed hours each day fully submerged in stories and characters. Maybe I’m just jaded.

What’s the matter, did someone steal your sweet roll?

Yes.  EA/Bioware.  You did. As I was FINALLY committing the ME3 review to paper, I was reminded of a time in Skyrim.  (Yes, I’m about to admit to having more fun in a series I hate, than I did in a series I was primed to love – man 2011 was a wacky year.) A guard said those horrid words,

Alan Wake’s American Nightmare

Mephisto Mori/ April 15, 2012/ Video Games/ 0 comments

If you’re an Alan Wake fan and you haven’t yet picked up this DLC.  Do.  I won’t say it’s phenomenal or amazing in every way the first game is.  I will say it’s worth the XBL points if you’re already a fan of Alan Wake.

Refund on ME3

Mephisto Mori/ March 23, 2012/ Video Games/ 1 comments

I wish I could undo the sale Bioware made on my purchase of ME3.  A simple refund will not suffice.  I need the experience of having ever played ME3 removed from my cerebrum.  Like a computer delete this corrupt data so that 200+ hours of ME1&2 can remain untainted. Mass Effect 3, Bioware… you have ruined 5 years of anticipation

Journey

Mephisto Mori/ March 20, 2012/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Download Journey on PSN now. It is difficult to describe.  Suffice it to say, Journey is all the things I know video games can (and should) be. Seriously, if you need something to get over the disappointment of ME3.  This should do it.

Mass Effect Finished

Mephisto Mori/ March 2, 2012/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Between reverie and reality I found time to finish both Mass Effects.  I must say I enjoyed the entire experience but my eyes were opened to a few facts that others might overlook when wearing their nostalgia blinders. I’m not going to go into them.  Perhaps in an official debate I’d recount my discoveries but for now know that ME

No Review this Week

Mephisto Mori/ February 29, 2012/ Video Games/ 0 comments

While it crossed my mind to review Syndicate or Alan Wake’s American Nightmare for this week I decided to, instead, spend it preparing for Mass Effect 3. By that I mean playing through both 1 and 2 again (plus DLC) to brush up on the world and exactly craft it the way I want it to be.  In other words,
