I agree, looked like both guys had a good time in this one.
Hopefully they cab bring back Ed Boon to the podcast.

" I love watching the interviews with Ed Boon because Jeff loves interviewing Ed Boon. You can always see the enthusiasm he brings to the table. I'm quite happy to see MK take a step back and return to 2D. It's going to be a lot of fun figuring out fatalities, again. "

Yeah, wish they could have had a little longer sit down.
Would be a very interesting listen. I was kinda hoping Ed Boon would be on the last E3 podcast, but alas.

I hope this will be the game to get me back in to fighting games. Hope it's not as crazy hard as SFIV.

Weird to hear "The Compound" in the background beginning of the interview. I was kind of thinking the lyrics as it went on.

Ed Boon is really a cool guy. "Babalities or friendships?" *drinks soda* "What was that?" Awesome.

I can't believe Ed Boon has made Mortal Kombat all these years and he still seems really excited about it.  Very cool he regards SF on a respectable level.  Either way this MK looks way awesome.

Oh absolutely, but if the fighting is too shallow, I'll get bored with it.

Mortal Kombat the way it's supposed to be.
 
Also I continue to love Ed Boon, he's awesome. Loved the part where Jeff asked about Babalities.

He provides the in game "Get over here!" and "Come here!".
The voice of Scorpion in story sequences is just other voice actors. At least that was the case in Mk vs Dc. I'm pretty sure it's like that in the other games as well.

Wow, Ed Boon is great.  Awesome and totally random that he has that Guiness world record.  I am totally hyped for this reiteration of the MK series.

Now that's a great interview, Ed Boon seems like a real class act by giving some nods to Capcom for SF4. I'm really looking forward to this game, seems very old school, I'm glad Ed and his team will be catering to the hardcore fans for this one!

The direct feed Gamespot footage looks amazing too - persistant blood on characters, plenty of gore and nostalgic gameplay. It was a pleasure to be in the same company as this dude. We need more Ed Boons in the world of game development.

Seeing him with Ed makes me forget Jeff is a journalist, and I just see a lifelong fan talking to THE REASON HE MADE GAMING HIS CAREER.  Or something like that. :)

Ed Boon looks like a spook.  This game development gig he's got is probably a front for the CIA.
