The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
man, some of these are silly as hell and it's awesome
like the one where kabal scares his opponent's soul out of his body
or where one of the cyborgs blows up the world
hard to pull that off in 3d
hard to top the 2D classic fatalities.
I have to say though. Goddamn, I don't know if I can stomach this game at all. That pulling the dudes legs apart fatality from Noob Saibot really is bad. I don't know if the game gained anything really with 3D other than making me think this shit is too real looking and less comical
Yeah, I can safely say that I don't really care for most of those fatalities, too uninspired, and, yes, too much blood spouting. Somethings really shouldn't be too "real," and Mortal Kombat is one of them.
I haven't touched the MK series for years and years and years. Basically the first one is the only one I really played much - I still pop it in whenever we dust off the Genesis (happens about once a year). And I have to agree, the fatalities in those videos of the new one feel more like gore porn from a shitty horror movie than spiritual successors to the ridiculous cartoon-style fatalities of the older games.
*sigh* Never thought I'd find myself getting upset at video-game violence. Just one more step on the road to cranky-old-manhood, I suppose.
The funniest thing about that Gamefaqs thread is that none of the regular posters have ever touched a woman I'd wager.
I want MK9 so bad but my 360 is about to die. Also no money. Or time. :?

I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

Hm
Watching these fatalities, I do wish some of them were a bit goofier
I don't have a problem with the gruesome nature of them, I find all of that pretty entertaining, really, but I do love some goofy fatalities
At least we've got babalities, I guess
Edit: On further reflection, I think I'd like a lot of them more if they were one or two moves shorter. I like a lot of the basic ones- ripping off the skin, beating to death with his own leg, and so on, which are just essentially one move. It's this cut people up, then cut them up more, then punch them into little bits thing that gets grating.

Alright, now it is a must-buy for me.
