Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks Is Actually... Good?!

 Good afternoon everyone,

Last night's stream had some minor instances of frame drops and a couple of brief interruptions, but with Xfinity doing repairs to the lines and stuff, it makes it harder to access the gateway to see what the upstream power levels were. 

Anyway, we started the stream with Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks for the PlayStation 2... and outside of some questionable cut scenes where Liu Kang had different hair styles, and some really bad voice acting... it's actually a good game. I was impressed with how responsive the controls were and how as a brawler things just worked. We actually advanced fairly deep, going all the way up through the Kitana/Jade/Mileena boss fight. 

Now I did have some trouble mostly with puzzles and figuring out what to do and where to go, so some sort of map indicator, way pointer or a decent in-game map would really made things progress a lot further than things did. There are of course some continuity issues as well, such as when Jade is killed in the original Mortal Kombat timeline, but these are just nitpicks.

We did switch over to MultiVersus, and I think I figured out Arya Stark and Jake the Dog in terms of how to play them. I do struggle with trying to time using abilities to save my self from getting knocked off the sides, but hey happy to say there are things I'm figuring out.!

For the raid, we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV over on twitch.tv/Kalenal last night! 

As of last night I got the Galaxy at War up to over 80% in all five areas so hopefully I will continue to make progress with that to get it's related achievement in Mass Effect 3 sooner rather than later.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Weaving Combo #1, Body Hook Combo and Double Hook Combo #2

Have not finished writing the latest Commission request yet, in fact I basically scrapped what I originally had for the intro yesterday afternoon.

What kind of music do windmills like? They're metal fans.

What do you call a fish with two knees? A tunee fish.
