Attention all button-mashers, combo-lovers, and finishing move experts, the next Mortal Kombat game is nearly here. Once again, gamers are privy to enter the world of the 6 realms, fearing only the Netherrealm and the piercing, vampiric jaws of Mileena. Protect your necks and guard your loins as you launch your fighter into 1v1 combat with a daring beast. Ninjas, lizards, bug-ladies, and mummy dudes all have a chance to fight their heart out (sometimes literally) in this brutal, gruesome finisher game. If you haven't heard of Mortal Kombat and never wasted $50 of quarters at the arcade trying to out-maneuver your friend's who only play Scorpion, then get outta the chat right now.

MK isn't a game for the squeemish and neither are the memes that come from it. Only true fighters can press on… the ones who hit randomize when selecting a character, with peace in their hearts knowing the up, up, down, left, down, down, finisher of every player. These are the gamers worthy of the Kombo. These are the gamers worth their salt. And these are the gamers that are totally prepared to rip their opponent's head off (while also removing their spine in its entirety as well).

ROUND ONE– Fiiiight!
