Too Bad These Condoms Aren’t Real

Frankly, I’m surprised that nerdy condoms like this don’t actually exist. Not because I want to use them or anything, but because I’m sure that someone hilariously would. Hell, they could probably work as a dorky conversation starter or something. Or ruin the mood completely, depending on who is involved, I guess. The condom designs…

There Can Be Only One Sub-Zero

The Emerald City Comicon went down over the weekend in Seattle. Expect photos to be turning up here all week, but we’re kicking things off with a couple of shots from William Phan The Mass Effect Blood Dragon armour is being worn by Clay Stooshnoff, while Sub-Zero is Danquish

Scorpion. Go Home. You Are Drunk.

Turns out Scorpion was drunk all the time in Mortal Kombat. Now that Szarvas on Tumblr has put the character’s various animations—and also the classic paintings in the background—in a new perspective, it’s clearly visible.

Kiefer Sutherland told IGN he’s going to appear in the next Mortal Kombat game, fresh off his work for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. His work for Mortal Kombat is already complete, he says.

If Mortal Kombat Were More Realistic

The image is old, but I can’t stop giggling, both at the absurdity of a harpoon to the chest and how Reddit has turned this Mortal Kombat musing into an ad for classic one-hit-kill fighter Bushido Blade.

Icy Weather Has Everyone Making The Same Mortal Kombat Joke

If you’re in the United States anywhere north or east of Nevada right now, chances are you’re cold. Some of you may be experiencing sub-zero temperatures. Which is why some people have decided that now is a great time to crack out the Mortal Kombat jokes. Not only did George Takei share around the above…

And Then Mortal Kombat Characters Sang A Subway Jingle For 12 Minutes

I can’t think of a more fitting Snacktaku sendoff to 2013 than the Mortal Komband performing $5 Footlong for 12 minutes. It’s one of the biggest snacking nights of the year, kids, so remember to pace yourself and wear clothing with voluminous pockets for storing leftovers. Maybe stop by Subway before you head out. Damn…

Breakup Advice, from Mortal Kombat

Poor Sub. I guess Mileena was only looking for Friendship. This image made the rounds this past week—maybe you saw it on Tumblr, or via Cheezburger. It’s by the illustrator and photographer Ryan T. Alexander, whose portfolio you can see here. To contact the author of this post, write to [email protected] or find him on…

Get over here! Dwight Howard of the NBA’s Houston Rockets is apparently a Mortal Kombat enthusiast. Here he is re-enacting Scorpion’s signature move during pre-game introductions against Brooklyn on Friday. [NBA on YouTube]

A classic fighting game based on Dota 2 and its characters would be a really cool thing, right? Redditor Wykrhm played with this idea, inspired mostly by Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, and created the edit above. The Anti-Mage and Riki fit right in, but some characters, like Juggernaut, would be OP as hell under…

What Happens After Mortal Kombat’s Cutest Fatality

Yeah, the way that this video pays homage to the old-school digitized look of the first few Mortal Kombat games is cool. And it’s great that there are nods to signature moments of the latest MK title in there, too. But what really makes this video work is the secret revelation about thunder god Raiden.…

Mortal Kombat‘s Web Series and Movie Will Be Totally Different Things

It seemed like Mortal Kombat was dead for a while there. No games, no movies, no Fatalities. But now, the gory fighting franchise is back, with a movie in development and season two of a slickly-made web series making its debut today. (The first episode is above.) The same guy is in charge of both,…

What Beats Mortal Kombat In Doom? Three Mortal Kombats in Doom!

We’ve mentioned the mod that lets you play Mortal Kombat inside Doom before. Well, here it is again: in this video, the creator showcases the third Mortal Kombat game being played during a Doom multiplayer match. Silly? Maybe. Amazing and indicative of just how much modding can do? Oh very much yes. According its creator,…

Mortal Kombat Kebab Wizard Is Russia’s New National Hero

Good lord, this guy goes HAM on an order of shawarma—enough that you gotta think, not only can he make your order, he could probably mess you up with that scimitar if he wanted to, huh? Nevermind that—this video by Хорен Аветисян is also a good reminder that it’s impossible not to get pumped when…

Show Us Your Favorite Fighting Game Ultras and Supers

One thing I can’t help but admire about fighting games is how well the genre uses moves and kinetics for characterization: sure, not every game has a fantastic story attached to it, but that doesn’t mean a fighting game can’t have well-defined, unique characters, you know? You don’t need hours of exposition to understand characters…

Who Wins When The Avengers and Mortal Kombat Have a Hoops Showdown?

When you have Sub-Zero wearing #23 for the Chicago Bulls, coach only needs to say one thing during a fourth-quarter timeout: Finish Him! This mod for the PC version of NBA 2K13—just spotted now, despite apparently being around for about two months—turns ordinary b-ballers into superhuman characters from Marvel Comics and Mortal Kombat. Sadly, modder…

Announcers Rule. We Don’t Appreciate Them Enough.

Alert! First blood. Double kill. Triple Kill. Mega Kill. Overkill. …Executed. Game over. They might set the tone of the game, they might always remember to direct you to the objective, heck, they might even feed your ego by lauding every minor triumph you have while playing a multiplayer game, but man, announcers—those disembodied voices…

That previously announced Scorpion DLC for the Injustice superhero fighting game will be out next week on June 11th. It’ll cost 400 MS Microsoft Points on Xbox Live or $4.99 on PlayStation Network.
