For the most in-depth, in-detail, Mortal Kombat lore analysis vids, there's only one source:

Don't Play in Front of Portals:
PowerPoint
Flash
Shang Tsung's Island Deathtrap:
PowerPoint
Flash
The above are both tests of my skills and Microsoft PowerPoint's ability to display animation. I was pleased with some of the effects that can be implemented in PowerPoint, but these effects are better off being used on text than on images, especially animated GIFs. It's not like Adobe Flash: too many animations seem to bog it down severely. If you have a powerful CPU Kano's animation will look pretty decent, otherwise it will seem awfully choppy. Luckily, I discovered a trick to make PowerPoint display graphics looking good even when blown up. (The MK sprites are shown looking crisp and sharp, not blurry the way MS Office products usually do it.) Using some of the more robust PowerPoint features, they can be converted to Flash and actually come out quite decent!
Update: Made another one, any more I make will just be added to this thread.

Kamionero, you can get the latest version of PowerPoint Viewer (for free) from:

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=6

Just in case, I also went ahead and used some free software to convert it to a Flash animation as well. You can check it out here:

LOL!

I loved Liu Kang's death the most. grin The way his little legs come together before being sucked in is hilarious (+ you can never get tired of those turkey sounds)!

That was fun to watch and the idea has potential for some funny sprites/animations using another program that could handle it better.

Thanks for the info/walkthrough on how you did this. It's good to know that the program can handle this, but, I think another one would have probably done this more justice. My issue with it is how the first 2 characters just seem to freeze in the middle and then suddenly start heading down into the portal. The way they just freeze there looks a bit meh, imo.

Good job, buddy!
