    Bro, you can have a socialist dictatorship.

    Lets not pretend that the economic system of a country is mutually exclusive with the type of government.

     

     

     

    Actually, North Korea as an absolute monarchy. Went from grandfather to father to son.

     

    Much like the monarchies from that past. Much like the monarchies like Saudi Arabia and other absolute monarchies.

    Best Buy getting rid of vidja too, or just movies?

    From the sounds of it it’s everything physical media. Games, movies, vinyl, etc. 

     

    Would that mean that in a few years from now or decades from now a copy of a Dragon Ball Z DVD or blu-ray will be worth $1,000 or more? Supply/demand.

    lol King's Quest and Zork. I remember Zork and Rogue (text based games). Where's Karateka| They should remake Karateka but with different characters and maybe a 2-player mode. The boss of that game is also named Akuma.

    Dynamite Bomb!! Launching To Arcades Exclusively In 2023

     

     

     

     

    EDIT:

     

    Forgot to mention. Played 3S at a local arcade about a week ago. Chose Twelve. On the baskeball parry level 2 the game froze after the 2nd parry prior to the 3rd ball being thrown. While the 3rd ball was being thrown I was on the far right of the screen wiggling the joystick back and forth. I was the 2nd player as well. Has this freeze happened to anyone else?

  4. Appears that Hamas-Israel benefits Putin. Since Hamas-Israel when was the last time you heard, saw, or read about Putin-Ukraine (yes, it's Putin-Ukraine and not Russia-Ukraine) unless you try really hard to look for it?

     

    EDIT:

    Apparently she's a world class Judoka. Aigerim Abilkadirova of Kazakstan. She's an 11 time national champion. Does she get the @MillionXseal of approval? 🤔

     

    Edit: Nevermind, she's a beauty pageant winner too. She's definitely Million approved. I just noticed that the dude that talked shit looked scared before she judo tossed security. He knew he fucked up 😂

  5. an old school database:

     

     

    Thought she said "lonely starstruck lovers.. tell you I'm insane..."

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    In the above one thought he said "feelin' so high like I was god" or "feelin' so high like i'ma a god"

     

    How many misheard lyrics do you all remember?

     

    For the Todo Africa lyrics, thought it was "hope it rains down in Africa..."

     

    For the Adelle lyrics, thought it was "should I give up or should I just keep chasin' payments..."

     

    EDIT:

     

    Remember the Taylor Swift debacle regarding where she doesn't have rights to her old albums and songs?

     

    Quote

    After the original recordings were sold in 2019, Taylor Swift decided she would re-record her first six albums so she would own all of her music. CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Taylor Swift announced that she will be releasing “1989 (Taylor's Version)” in October.Aug 11, 2023

    He sounds perfectly like a younger Cary, to the point I wonder why they didn't just get Cary. He must have been either expensive or committed elsewhere.

     

    Either way, if you want more of what Cary brought to Shang last game, you'll get that.

     

     

    The question you must ask is...

    I just found out that anything related to death cargo has been scrapped from the internet...

    ... Should I upload the demo to preserve it? 🤣🤔

     

    Someone archived the SRK forums last year before it went off Internet called archive supercombo gg or something

  7. found footage of the williams/bally/midway documentary:

     

     

     

    Now Bally and Williams have been absorbed by Light & Wonder, formerly known as Scientific Games Corporation

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_%26_Wonder

     

    Light & Wonder is the Hasbro of electronic/coinops, etc.

     

     

    Remember, Monopoly and Sorry are owned by Hasbro too now. Used to be Parker Brothers.

    Read a few sentences from the Elon book. Supposedly he had some arcade cabs set up during a meeting with investors between 1999 and 2000. One guy mentioned everyone was playing Street Fighter games on those!!!

  9. This guy has some Geras mixups:

    lol at the youtube comment lol

     

    I still can’t believe they give this brother Genei Jin. Wild

     

    For context. The Motaro teleport gives strange properties.

    I get cr.mk drive rush is annoying AF. Honestly buttons into drive rush (specially when you can confirm them now with a one button input) might be the most off putting in the game. With all that, this is still leagues better than 5.

     

     

     

    What about Mortal Kombat 1? Doe sit feel like the old school VS games?

  11. Some of the ideas and characters have got to come from this movie as well. The guy in the black outfit is the tournament host in this movie. Has to be the inspiration for Shang Tsung.

     

     

     

    Then you got someone wearing Raiden's gear

     

     

     

    And the tournament is "The Tournament of Death"

  12. Spoiler

    Anyone think that Mortal Kombat 1 is the curtain call of the Mortal Kombat story/lore. It comes full circle. From Mortal Kombat to Mortal Kombat 1. Kinda like Flash and Reverse Flash dynamic with Liu Kang and Shang Tsung. This multiverse thing also opens up can of worms for fighting game characters from other franchises to do battle. Maybe they did that deliberately. I can see Vega wanting to take over all of the timelines and existence while being in ultra instinct super psyhco power mode. I new threat to all! Final boss once again being Vega in a game that crosses Mortal Kombat, Virtua Fighter, Tekken, Street Fighter, King of Fighters!!!!

    Homework legit made me angry as a teen. Spend 7+ hours at school only for them to send you home with more work. 

     

    I'd have been even more pissed off if I had realized it was all just to mentally soften you for your boss treating you like shit and also having 0 respect for your personal time.

    Man, I fucking HATE homework. So much. And I had A LOT of it, especially in grad school. Never again! Luckily I have a job where working after hours is strongly discouraged, but that wasn't always the case.

    By the time I got to high school I rarely had more than 20 minutes of homework. I usually would get it done in the band room after class so I didn't have to lug my books home.

     

    Course, I was a B student so maybe don't follow my advice any of your kids out there

    This was a good thing about elementary school; early on when homework was some simple stuff that could be done in a matter of minutes.  

     

    It's another way that adulthood beats childhood... typically, after you logout and go home, that's it....there is no extra work-related stuff to do at home.  Unfortunately I say this despite actually having some extra stuff I *should* login and get caught up on at some point over this weekend.

     

     

    Awww homework. Most of the homework from let's say last years of high school until doctor's degree is pretty much writing long papers and busywork. Don't really teach you anything. For doctor's you may have to actually care about homework, not much so for master's. I'm speculating because I never took any doctor's level classes. But, I'm assuming it's true.

     

    On another note. Don't won't to post the same thing twice, I'll post it here. TKO huh? Wonder if they'll add a boxing promotion to it too:
