My bad, I didn't.
Let me ask you a question. When you were a kid, do you remember playing side scrolling adventure games? Super Mario Bros., Sonic, DKC, etc.? Well, in those games, occasionally something would go wrong. During a scrolling level, which we called "air levels", you have to jump from platform to platform, and once in a while one of the necessary platforms would just be missing, for no logical reason, forcing you to plummet to your death. On the flipside, sometimes you would mistime a jump but end up being safe anyway. Maybe it looked like you got hit with one of Bowser's fireballs, but you didn't die. Perhaps you accidentally bumped into a Kremling, but managed to roll at the last second possible and the game gives you the benefit of the doubt? Maybe you fell in the lava, but somehow you kept your shield AND your rings?
Well, we decided that there are video game gods that control these things. Mackerfield is the video game god of life. He helps you across dangerous water ways, makes sure you get the coin ship in Mario 3, and gives you the power to do things such as stage fatality/friendships. His evil brother, Wackerfield, is the video game god of death. He makes you get the worthless anchor in Mario 3. He makes platforms disappear. When you jump from one platform to another, he makes you slip off and fall into spikes or a pit. Wackerfield laughs every time Shao Kahn makes fun of you. Wackerfield makes you fuck up your super combo when that super combo was the only thing between immortality and losing to M. Bison.
So, some people say Goro Lives. Personally, I believe Mackerfield Lives. It's my way of showing respect to the video game god of life, truth, and virtue. And he's way better than that four armed pussy, anyway.
