geebsLast night's Glee performances aren't up on the youtube channel, so waiting on those before I do my gleecap. Not that anyone reads them, but its something to do.
Anyways, sometimes it annoys me that people are always whining and bitching about the most inconsequential things on the internet. I mean, I'm guilty of it too. And I get it, the internet is a medium that just sits there and lets you pour out all you shit into it without interrupting and making it about itself or bitching back. (and I mean internet as in the concept, not people on the actual internet, because if you have comments turned on, then people do sometimes bitch back) And there's nothing wrong with complaining about your life, sometimes you need to get that stuff out somehow or you'll go crazy.
But for inconsequential things like video games and TV, it gets frustrating that people are never satisfied. Like MK finally revealed the brutalties they said were returning in the upcoming MK X:
I think they're cool, kinda like mini-fatalities you can do to finish an opponent off if you fulfill certain conditions. Like normally when you knock their life bar to empty, you get the whole "Finish Him/Her!" thing and then you have to input a sequence to activate your fatality. This, its like a quick auto fatality you can do before they're actually dead, I'm assuming if the combo would've emptied their life bar.
But people bitched about it, like I guess they were expecting something more like ultra combos from killer instinct, where its just a hundred/thousand hit combination of blows that kills the opponent. Yeah, I remember those from the previous mortal kombats, and they looked kinda goofy because it was just a bunch of normal moves in rapid succession that caused the opponent to explode nonsensically. Particularly with the limited amount of animation of the characters in the old games (compared to something like SF or VF or Tekken) I'm sure if they just did the "fast-forwarded auto combo" people would've still bitched and moaned about it being uninteresting.
I do like Kung Lao's brutality. He bends him over his knee and does that Wing Chun straight punch flurry Donnie Yen does in Ip Man, followed by some wild wide hook punches. It looks pretty neat.
But yeah, then yesterday, they had the new story trailer:
So in addition to a few more returning favorites, we have many new characters. There's Erron Black from the new tie in comic (a wild west looking gunslinger, sounds cool), and joining Cassie Cage are Jax's daughter, Kenshi's son, and Kung Lao's descendant. So, a small minority complained all, "Who are these new people, bring back the old characters!" Of course, when they were doing the previous character reveals and revealing returning characters like Kung Lao, Kitana, Reptile and Ermac, people bitched all, "Ugh, what's with all the old characters, give us something new!"
Its like G-D, are you people ever effin satisfied?! I think they did a good job so far of balancing old and new characters. And please, like the old characters won't be available as DLC later?!
