MORTAL KOMBAT!

Ed Boon is fucking awesome

Ed Boon, making Gore awesome!

Heh. Name dropping Street Fighter. Not at all surprised, Mr Boon.

Ed Boon is the man. And this game looks fantastic.

Awesome interview.

Damn, I didn't know he was the voice of Scorpion.

Ed Boon such a cool guy.

There was a time when I thought that I'd never be spending full price on day 01 for a fighting game ever again and then *poof* Street Fighter IV and now this. My $60 will be seeing you next Spring Mr. Boon.

Can't wait for the game.  
 
Gotta say, there are a LOT of characters I'd love to see again.  Stryker, Smoke, Ermac, Rain...  but show some love to Kenshi as well!  Out of all the new-era MK characters, he is absolutely one of the standouts.

Wow great interview!

Fatality meetings?
Fatality meetings?!
Awesome.
 
It's nice to hear a dev taking like a normal person for once.

Great interview, he seems like a really cool guy

Yeah Mortal Kombat was my best game of the show. 

Nice.

Ed Boom is an awesome person, I'd love to meet him and talk about dismemberment of the human body all day long.

It's nice to know that all those GET OVER HEREs are being properly rewarded. n_n

I wonder if Boon is truly happy having made nothing but MK for so long. It seems like it, and if he is that's freakin' awesome. 
 
But I wish Jeff would have brought it up.

DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN-DUN!  DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN-DUN!  DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN-DUN!  DUN DUN DUN DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN!
 
MOOOOOOOORTAL KOOOOOOOMBAT!!! 
 
GET 
FUCKING 
HYPE!!!

Jeff, Boon= Awesome Bombcast!

" Fatality meetings? Fatality meetings?! Awesome.  It's nice to hear a dev taking like a normal person for once. "

We had discussions about.. you know,  "So what can we do with gore?"

Nice to see Ed Boon. Really looking forward to this next Mortal Kombat.

I'm jealous of the eyebrows.
 
Loves me some MK, for me it's:
 
1. MORTAL KOMBAT!
2. Killer Instinct (I still play it, no lie, on Mame)
3. Street Fighter

Did they edit a Brad photobomb in at 3:16? TOASTY!

That was great

Great stuff. The Legend interviewing The Legend.

2011 is already jam packed with awesome.  great time to be a gamer. 

i want to go to a fatality meeting!

Wish this could have been, like,  40 minutes long. Man.

Awesome interview Jeff. I'm just curious, have they said anything about having a storyline mode or anything like that? I know they want to have a great mutiplayer aspect but I'd love to see a sort of Twisted Metal Black style storyline with character introductions and such.

*innocently drinks coke* 
 
Fantastic.

" I wonder if Boon is truly happy having made nothing but MK for so long. It seems like it, and if he is that's freakin' awesome.  But I wish Jeff would have brought it up. "

game looks great and would love to see Ed Boon on a podcast again 

Following Ed Boon on twitter you get this feeling that after all this time he still absolutely loves what he does and he has never lost faith in the fighting genre.

Ed Boon really is a class act; glad MK is getting back to its roots and garnering some mainstream attention again.

Word, Ed Boon world record holder! GET OVER HERE!

That was an awesome interview. Ed Boon is Mortal Kombat.

That x-ray thing was in the awful Fight Club game.. game looks crazy though

Ed Boon is the man.

DLC character from the start?
 
I'm guessing balancing isn't an issue for the development... Then again MK isn't a competitive 2d Fighter so it doesn't really matter I suppose.

Ed Boon is awesome, I am so happy to see him back and making a new MK.

Ed Boon can conduct an interview.

Ed Boon is just the man.
