Video game retrospectives would be an excellent addition to the video repertoire.

Great stuff. Just two guys playin' some MK, but it's so damn entertaining. The beginning was cut off a bit.

I've never seen MK Trilogy before, very interesting!


I do like Sub-Zero Mythology too. It could be fond memories, but I thought it was cool with the extra moves.

Ohh man, those FMV cutscenes in Mythologies were quality, love the hammed up acting in video games of that era, especially the C&C games.

And in MK vs DC, both Baraka and Deathstroke have weapon modes.

Also I found out that Jeff is 16 years older than me... He doesn't look 34...

I loved this. They need to do stuff like this a lot more often. They cut off the beginning from the livestream though. Kind of sucks.

Man, the Deadly Alliance stuff brought back some memories! I totally forgot that I owned that game, and how different of an MK it was. At the very least, I will say that the MK5 Krypt is more sensibly arranged than the one in MK9, sans the multiple types of currency :P

Had never seen MK Trilogy or Sub-Zero Mythologies before. Those are certainly some interesting parts of MK history.

was this recorded a week ago? They seem coy about talking about the new MK, maybe an embargo thing?

I guess Jeff hasn't spent much time playing as UMK3 Reptile and learning his advanced combos, because his Elbow Dash (Or Reptile's Run as Jeff calls it) was his most useful move in linking in more hits after a forceball juggle.

Hell, you could even manage infinites if you were fast enough with canceling the HP/LP into the Elbow Dash.Ā  Easily his most useful move, with the Force Balls not far behind.

The entire Sub-Zero Mythology part was probably the best unintentional comedy gold that I've seen in a long time.
