Mortal Kombat XL is stupid as hell in the best way. It's fun and self-aware and the fighting feels meaty, plus you can get machete'd in the head by Jason. It's not even a fatality.

I remember a thread on a different forum where it took multiple people to solve that puzzle. Edit: You have probably dip into some kind of video game music group (is DC++ still a thing?), but there is almost an entire album dedicated to the dude.

It's not even a fatality. Yeah, Mortal Kombat really nails a very fun tone all around. One thing that actually kind of turned me off from Street Fighter and the like was that it seemed to kinda vacillate wildly between outright slapstick and taking itself surprisingly seriously. MK on the other hand goes right for that self-aware B-movie flair and nails it exactly. I still haven't gotten tired of Cassie sassing literally everyone she meets, be they literal gods or not.

Playing Need for Speed: Payback and it's basically the same old same with regard to NFS games but they do one thing I haven't seen before. There is some bit of a storyline and there's a lot of dialogue that comes with it. If you're doing a mission, there's chatter back and forth through the race of people telling you what your mission is, advancing the story, stuff like that. If you're doing a mission and this is going on and you crash and have to start over, the dialogue only picks back up where it left off before the crash. So if you're really poo poo at racing games like I am and have to do missions several times over you don't go insane listening to the same dialogue over and over.

When you find a regular ol' chest in the new God of War and you tell Kratos to open it, he does so by smashing his fist straight down through the lid, destroying it. That's our Kratos!

One Piece Pirate Warriors 3: I like the little minor appearance changes you can make by pressing start. Luffy will put his hat on, Zoro will tie his bandana on, Sanji buttons up his shirt and straightens his tie. The really nice touch is that one character, Tashigi will take her glasses off and the game will- not including her- actually get blurrier if you don't put them on. Since I also have terrible eyes and need to wear glasses I thought it was just me at first until I messed around with it for a second.

I was in the mood to reinstall Mortal Kombat X this morning and I think they've continued to add little entries in the feed to Cassie's selfie fatality. I don't know how they're ever going to top that one, it's the perfect combination of over-the-top gore and goofy humor that makes MK great.

MK 9 and X did such a great job of reversing MK’s decade+long skid, it’s insane how quality they are. I also like how the Story modes are actually well done Kung-Fu magical apocalypse stories AND serve as a nice tutorial for about half the game’s characters. It really helps get through how impenetrable some fighting games can be to newcomers.

Kung Lao vs. Kung Lao Kung Lao 1: Should I trust you? Kung Lao 2: Probably not. Kung Lao 1: A trustworthy response. Johnny Cage vs. Sonya Blade Johnny: Talk to me. Sonya: That would mean you'd have to keep quiet... Johnny: You're right, never mind. Cassie Cage vs. Cassie Cage Cassie Cage 1: We don't want to be seen together! Cassie Cage 2: Alright, alright! Cassie Cage 1: They can't find out we're twins! Quan Chi vs. Quan Chi Quan Chi 1: We mustn't fight! Quan Chi 2: I'm afraid we must. Quan Chi 1: You were my only friend... The writing is far funnier, and far dumber, than it had any right to be.

You burn a full super meter and it takes about 1/3 or so of your opponent’s health away.

And to be honest, hers is not the worst in terms of "that person is so loving dead right now." When a fatality in MK X is performed, you know.

For good or ill, you know exactly what you're getting with Mortal Kombat now - including a surprisingly good story and charming roster of characters, notably Johnny Cage and his endless dad jokes as the new champion of Earthrealm. MK also has a gay character these days who's handled completely respectfully.
