[:plant:] Mortal Kombat 8 - GET OVER HERE!

Yes. It's pretty cool that video gaming has become legit enough to cross over with... comics? What? "Man, it's pretty cool how sub-culture nerd thing A can be legit enough to cross over with sub-culture nerd thing B."

That's like saying how awesome it is that Magic the Gathering finally attained enough legitimacy to cross over with Dragon Ball.

Green Lantern - Obliterates opponent with the ring.

This is gonna be one hell of a weird game.

DUH. The Flash is so fast he exists outside of time/space. He'll simply choose to inhabit the same place as his opponent in the same moment of time and they will simply CEASE TO BE.

Scorpion kicks the shit out of Green Zero every time. Yellow costume. Dude is fucked. That's what you get for having such a gay weakness, Hal. Suck a dick.

Also, Batman's fatality will be that he drafts his opponent into being the new Robin and promptly gets him killed. Oh snap. All maudlin and shit.

Superman quits the game because he tires of humanity depending on him to fight their Mortal Kombats for them, retires to a holographic farm in Kansas, grows a ponytail and mopes around like a pussy. His fatality is that he just stops caring.

Hamburglar is going down.

But not the Grimace. Nothing can kill the Grimace.

cans it be hype timez now?

No, because Mugen sucks and this will probably suck. Why? Because like, the last 5 MKs have been awful. And DC has been largely awful save a few strokes of brilliance (What's up, Kingdom Come?) and so this will ALSO be awful.

Let me run something by you.

Kano fighting Lobo. That concept couldn't be more terrible if Uwe Boll directed it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I wasn't saying that gaming hasn't become main stream, I know it's gone main stream. I see the Halo commercials, too. I'm just saying a comic book-video game cross over is not a very good gauge of how accepted it's become.

I think my grandma's old folks home having a Wii is a better example.

How ya doing, buddy?

So your problem with latest game in long running series A is that it plays like part of long running series A.

As always, Furby, you're a fucking idiot. Of course it plays like Mortal Kombat. It IS Mortal Kombat.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well of course Mortal Kombat is garbage, but playing it and then being upset because it plays like Mortal Kombat is idiocy.

So my point stands.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yes. They will certainly realise how lousy their game is based on the very respectable numbers they did.

I was speaking idiomatically.
