I legit had a blast getting wrecked on stream! Glad I could at least pull off that Johnny Cage fatality before getting totally bodied.

Shadow Man N64 is a really good name for a Noob Saibot loadout.

Brads reactions to the fatalities are the best part of this.

I still think the Frost situation is kinda shitty, I only play story mode so I didn't see that warning. The only reason I found out you don't have to buy her is because of the Steam reviews.

maybe i'm just too pc or whatever but MK-style gore is totally unappealing to me. the animations aren't fun to watch and they seem to take up a lot of time, and though i don't play the game, they seem like they would get repetitive. i guess i'm a little bit grossed out by the animations, but they're just so absurd so as to be meaningless

This was one of my favourite streams, energy kept up and the dynamism of cutting between 2 games (props to Jan) made it constantly interesting. Was a lot of fun to watch.

The best part about this is Brads disgust/glee/shock at the fatalities.

I posted this in the chat at the time, but I had a root canal the day before Ben and they didn't give me any pain medication or anaesthetic. Nothing. Is that normal? It hurt like hell.

I love that Justin McElroy seems to be playing Kingdom Hearts 3 every time GB do a live stream on PS4.

Does MK11 do the MKX thing of having two Fatalities and then a classic Fatalitiy per character?

@alistercat: Its increasingly common for dentists to realize that overmedicating people is bad. Unless they think it is going to be particularly painful or difficult you should just expect a local anesthetic

Never had a root canal so I don't know exactly what it entails, but I am surprised you didn't even get a shot of Novocaine (or whatever they use now). Are you sure you didn't feel a brief pinch or something?

@gundato: Definitely. He didn't give me anything. He said at the end he would have if he thought I might have been in pain.

Yo cheat engine tables allow you to make all chests cost 1 of their respective currency. It's great

If MK didn't have fatalities in MK1 till now it wouldn't even have existed past the first game.

The Krypt/Towers of Time stuff bums me the fuck out. All of the costumes I like are locked in both and the grind to earn enough of the various currencies is ridiculous. I'd probably drop dime on a "unlock all the shit" pack if it was offered. Alas...

Wish the game play screen was bigger. The crew take up like 50% of the screen.
