    Op-Ed: why we should want our favourite characters to not return in MK11

    Absolutely beautiful man. I don't envy the NRS team for the choices they have to make every game. Expectation versus legacy versus popularity versus competitive presence versus plot requirements. And you've encapsulated my reaction to X in a nutshell: I loved it, but I's true that I've been...

    'Sup guys. Thanks for the support and for tuning in. Remember: If it seems like we're shitting on NRS or the FGC, we're not, really. We just get critical, and we critique because we love. That's our motto. 'Cept BC, that guy's an inhuman monster. :D I look forward to continuing to provide...

    Questions about the MK lore!

    Yo. MK Tournament edition, handheld on GBA and an extension of MKDA's story: http://www.mortalkombatwarehouse.com/mkda/noobsaibot/ This is the whole reason Kitana etc. were mourning Goro in MKDA; Noob nearly killed him. It was revealed in MKD Gamecube that Kahn approached him as he lay dying...

    Questions about the MK lore!

    You're more or less spot on dude. Mad props. :D To the OP, if Goro doesn't seem like a big deal in recent games, it's because MK9's Story mode did a terrible, bad job of establishing him and most of Kahn's goons as credible threats ( or even establishing who could beat who in a fight - I like...

    Blind speculation! Which variations look like poopoo??

    I'm barely two steps above filthy casual, but even I've been questioning Spectral Ermac since it was revealed. Vs. Gunslinger Erron Black....eeesh

    Final Character Select Screen Confirmed

    Batshit conspiracy theory ahoy: A kind of character symmetry is at work on the select screen. This is rough, but...observe: Top left, top right: Kung Lao, Kung Jin, family Second right, second left: Jax, Jacqui: family Third right, third left: Sonya, Cassie: family Fourth right, fourth left...

    IGN releases a 25-minute playthrough of the MKX Story Mode!

    Oh, man. Twinge of pain in my chest to see Smoke just wearing a very slightly modified version of his MK9 alt. I was still holding out a little hope from the early descriptions that said he was wearing a bit of new stuff, but nope. Not at all. He straight-up looks like Noob in Deception with...

    UPDATED! Mortal Kombat X - Official Shaolin Trailer (2015)

    Looking good, nice revenant outfit. Gettin' the vibe that he may kinda be a revenant of his own free will... lol, troll Chi hiding behind a rock with him. Always awesome to see Bo, though I'm sure that'll just be a cameo.

    General/Other - Jason Voorhees Jason Voorhees Pre-Release General Discussion

    Hope he's got a mid-screen teleport where he just doesn't move at all, but the camera just shoots sideways to show him already behind the opponent.

    General/Other - Liu Kang (Old) Liu Kang Pre-Release General Discussion Thread

    I take it we're rooting for 'Stryker' as a variation.

    If you could pick the following characters for DLC, who would it be?UPDATED poll!

    I seriously want to start a #FujinDLC trend on Twitter. I can deal with Smoke not making it because he got an amazing showing in MK9 (and #SmokeDLC would be purely out of selfish reasons), but I seriously can't believe Fujin didn't make the cut. That's gotta change.
