Just to give me something to do, and in case anyone wants to look at pretty pictures, I decided to show everyone the versus pictures from Mortal Kombat. These are the pictures you see before a match that shows who's fighting who. I love the character designs in this game, and I think you guys might, too.

There are 35 characters in this game ( ( Read more... )

Hey all. I know I haven't been updating much. You might have noticed that three vocabulary posts went up in the past couple of days, two of them being late.

I got Mortal Kombat for my birthday - my birthday was March 3rd, but the party was on March 31st - and that game has stolen my soul. That's pretty much all I've been doing in my free time when ( Read more... )

So, I count at least fifteen ninjas in the Mortal Kombat series. Notice I said "at least." There might be more. That's...quite a few.

They all wear a different color. It's like a rainbow of ninjas. *snrk* Here are their names and corresponding colors, for any who are interested.

Males:
Sub-Zero (blue)
Scorpion (yellow)
Reptile (green)
Smoke (grey)
Ermac ( Read more... )

Another Mortal Kombat video. This one is of all the X-ray moves in MK2011. X-rays show breaking bones and organ damage. Each character has one. I'll say one thing for the MK developers: They obviously did a lot of research on internal anatomy.

These aren't quite as bad as the Fatalities, but it's still not safe for work!

( How do they get up after these? )

Okay, so I found a video on YouTube of, and this time I'm serious, ALL the Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 2011. This includes on-disc characters, downloadable characters, bosses, and Stage Fatalities. Also, Sub-Zero isn't the only victim this time around. Yay.

If you have an appreciation for creative violence, I suggest you give this a peek, even if ( Read more... )

Okay, apparently the video I posted in my last entry wasn't all the Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 9, as there are a few more shown in this video. Then again, the ones in here look stage-specific, so maybe any character can perform them? I guess I'll have to play to find out.

This isn't nearly as bad as the last video, but this is still not safe for ( Read more... )

So, I found on YouTube a video compiling all the Fatalities in the newest Mortal Kombat game (called Mortal Kombat 9, Mortal Kombat 2011, etc.). These are the most graphic, gruesome, and painful-looking maneuvers in the game. This is part of the reason this series has garnered such infamy.

This is most definitely NOT SAFE FOR WORK!!!

( Not for the kiddies; watch at your own risk )

I told my mom that she didn't raise me right. I've taken an interest in Mortal Kombat, one of the most infamously violent series in the history of gaming. It's been described as the bogeyman of video games, namely to anti-game activists. In fact, I heard that the original Mortal Kombat game was part of the reason the ESRB rating system was created ( Read more... )

I've made a list to help me with my New Year's resolution to catch up on all the movies, books, etc. that I've been neglecting for the past few years. The following is a list of all the titles that I have (for whatever length of time), but have yet to watch, read, etc. I'm not going to do this in any particular order. I've just arranged everything ( Read more... )

1. I've been ignoring my LJ for the past month, except for the weekly language posts. However, said language posts have gotten a few comments recently, so at least I know people are reading them. Yay.

2. My sister and I went to the Rammstein concert at the Tacoma Dome on the 14th. It was awwwwwsooooome. I might write a detailed review of it like I ( Read more... )
