Ed Boon is a legend.  Him and John Tobias were the first game creator's whose names I knew and remembered. So glad that MK is truly back.

I can hear Jeff Gerstman squealing like a little girl in the background happy as a clown that MK is going back to its 2d roots.

"a lot of people don't realise but MKvDC had t-rated fatalities, and the one before had custom fatalities"
 
No offense Ed, but everyone realised that, which is why most people don't like those 2 games :P

It must be a lot of fun for people like Ed Boon to be interviewed by people who are big fans of the series like Jeff!

Ed, you're righteous and all, but duder, you're fighting a losing battle with that hairline. Embrace the baldness.

Poor Ed Boon. His voice sounded like it was about to call it quits.

Ed Boon seems like a cool dude. Regular Fatality Meetings sounds awesome. Pretty cool that he is in the world record book. The game is looking pretty good too. I'm not a big fighting game fan anymore but I'll probably give it a rental.

Back in the MK 2 / MK 3 days, Ed Boon used to hang out at this Chicago Arcade called "Diversions" (R.I.P.) and every time my smelly, pimply friends and I approached him, he was seriously the nicest guy on the planet.   
 
His autograph to us?: "Finish Him, Finish Her, Finish SCHOOL! - Ed Boon"

bought   MKvDC recently because I was getting excited about this and that's quickly becoming my favourite fighting game! Even over SSFIV. 
This is my #1 anticipated game for next year now so I hope it's awesome.

I know this comment was made months ago but that is a really cool story. Ed is such a nice guy.
