why is it fuckin blank?

Who the fuck in there right minds would acctually stare at a blank screen saying nO0B.C0M for like 4 straight hours?

Nice, something new!

The dot in Noob-dot-com has turned into an MK symbol!...





... It must mean there's a GRID update coming!!!

It doesn't look like much probably nothing. Intruiging (sp?) none the less. I hope it is info on the next MK. It's been very scarce (sp?). If it is I hope they don't spill all the beans before release.

I can image Boon just doing it to see how much of a fuss we make of his old website. So it is counting down to April 17th (or 16th just counted days without bothering with the hours etc). For a moment I though he was counting down until the last day of US income tax filing but unless I'm mistaken that is on the 14th this year. *shrugs*

I thought I share this... even though some people already known this... but here is some back ground info about the noob.com site

http://www.aboutus.org/Noob.com
and this info...
http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=noob.com

im a little curious why someone would love to toy with people with stuff like this.... All I want is info, news, or pics....

Great, they list an actual phone number. Now watch some moron actually try to call it to get answers on what's up with the site.

This Noob.com site, has really been @ it, as of late.

8/8/8...? and 23,6?

Nothing major to it... just take the distance from the Earth to the moon in miles (238,868) and take all the 8's make them red. The 8's are red because it's Mortal Kombat 8, so the 8's stand out.

There's really nothing more to it than that, but keep those conspiracy theories coming!

News on MK8 can appear on ed boon's personal site first before Midway's site?

Midway owns MK, not Ed Boon. Is Ed Boon allowed to do this?

But yeah, I had doubts before, but that countdown has to be mk8 related.

It's not like it's unusual for a producion team to head-up their own promotion. Segmentalizing keeps the trains running on time, and lets corporate entities shill out and rake in with a minimum of effort!


Actually, I've never really thought about it, but given the time frame... Is here any reason to think Boon (and Tobias, for his duration) didn't maintain ownership of their IP? Maybe they're licensing to Midway...

It's been confired that the meter is a countdown to Midway's gamersday by trmk. This thread should be further updated.

If it's not breaking his contract.

Oh, you've seen his contract?
Hey, seriously, what kinda figures is he pulling in? Y'know, after tax of course...

Anyone notice when the noob.com logo is loading it says "Note Christmas Countdown"? Does it have to do with MK?

Okay... Don't sneeze violently, bump into anything, or run really fast.
You've just travelled from ten days in the past... I'll get help!

Yes you made that clear in the chat for banned MKO chat ppl.

Dunno if anyone noticed but Noob.com just added some eyes under the letter 'm'. If you have no biggie.

Yeah, I just saw that too...Boon's eyes? Or the eyes of Scorpion?! lol jk EDIT: I just noticed as well, that if you use the select all command, in the upper left hand side of the window, there are three black dots. You can't click on them, but methinks they're going to be serving some kind of purpose...

That does look like the periphery of a ninja cowl!

(The dots might just be dodgy formatting.)

With the latest upday being a distance marker from the earth to the moon. When I think about distance like that I think of a NASA space LAUNCH. And since all the 8's in the number are in red, my guess is that the countdown is to the launch of the Official Mortal Kombat 8 website.

Well noob.com updaetd again. The eyes have been moved under the countdown timer, and lightning now begins from the Earth to the Moon, replacing the bar underneath the logo. Also, "ANSWERS" appears above the timer in gold letters, the 238, 868 has been removed, & the moon has a different appearance, or it may not be the Moon anymore.

Nicely spotted! Looks to me like they've put a soft blend over the moon with the same image of Earth... Intriguing!
