I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter
in my grandmother's journal.

She wrote very detailed descriptions of her experiences...
This is kind of neither here nor there but I've always quite liked how Mortal Kombat's mish-mash of martial arts and action movie cliches along with a seemingly large part of the cast being played by filipinos, latinos, italians and such gave the whole game this "ambiguously brown" aesthetic. Like nobody knows or cares where Sub-Zero is supposed to be from, know what I'm saying? I think about the only characters in the first three games you could be sure were white people were Sonya and Stryker. The only races were human, thunder god, four-armed freaks, horse-legged freaks, and big-rear end teeth freaks.

I'm sure this is all mostly a side effect of "they didn't care to get enough Asian people to play what were probably meant to be Asian characters" but the end result was interesting :colbert:

The first Mortal Kombat was made by a very small team at a pinball company, all the martial artists were their friends, and it was initially supposed to be a Bloodsport game until they pitched it to JCVD's agent and he never really responded

I met Ho Sung Pak (Liu Kang) when i was a little kid a year or two before he did the filming for MK cuz he played Donatello in the traveling TMNT show based on the first movie

I spent the last couple of hours playing the new mk1 and having stryker for a kameo is worthless. Like in real life, the cops literally do not show up. Half the time you get blue and red lights but nothing else.

My mistake is that I bought this game on the PC.

But my personal feelings for youtube spam aside, the controls are the same as the last one. Not sure I like the changes. Both of us were able to uppercut each other at the same time, which I don't remember happening in previous games.

You've been able to nut punch the ladies since at least MK9 so over a decade now.

The life meter just says "Cage" though so they'd have to come up with a different last name.

I was going to offer "Blade" but that happens to be Sonya's last name. Hmm...

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I dunno OP but I do know that Kung Lao was the best fighter in Mortal Kombat II.

Also unrelated but I later realized that the ninjas in MKII are definitely wearing paintball masks (without goggles) and baseball catcher leg guards, and the cyberninjas in MK3 are wearing motocross gear.

Haven't played in a few iterations, is the gameplay still all clunky and stilted? I heard they added a sprint or something?
