He's like the epitome of old school developers who did it when you couldn't make a dime and never changed as it grew.

It's now a multi billion dollar industry but Boon still cranks out MK games with the same old enthusiasm.

Keep it real Ed.

Yes I do think he's great

ps LOve your Die Hard III pic

Remember how enthusiastic he was in that vid they released about Mortal Kombat for the Wii?
Warmed the cockles of my heart to see him still being stoked about Mortal Kombat.



















MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!

yes he is. And i cannot wait to deep fry superman with scorpions fatality.

Not a big fan of the MK series since II, but I love the guy. He's really what a game developer should be.

I agree with TC.

This forum should be locked with this being its only topic. Ed Boon is one cool dude.

Not only does he still make wicked awesome MK games, hes also -as shown in previous posts- good at video walkthroughs.

What ever MidWay is paying him, they should give him a raise!

I just finished watching like 10 interviews of Ed over the years and I don't understand how a lead creative designer behind one of the most grotesque, sick, twisted and unhealthy games of all time is like the nicest dude.

I CANT QUIT YOU ED!

Geez, day zero thread.  I'm feeling all nostalgic.

2 years, 8 months ago I was but a lad.
