Dude, I never noticed that, but you are so right.

Poor Ron Perlman, does he ever get to use his real face?

Cracked is worth a laugh every now and then. Though I'd be lying if I didn't say I enjoy their video game-related articles more than anything else.

VERY good post. Well written, funny, objective, and at the same time, not condemning to anyone else. We need more of these.

I'm ok with Freddy being in it.. I mean these are extra characters... it's not cannon, you don't have to buy them (though I don't know why you wouldn't at least want to try them) but it's just more content. If the demand is there, we may get more MK characters... and if we don't, we will when we get another MK game.

I kind of like this idea. I mean, Kratos came from another game and everything, but he comes from a game that is set on Earth's Mythology. I think that's kind of cool in a way that even though it isn't a true version of earth's history, it is one that a lot of us are familiar with, and it's kind of cool that he was snatched in from the past (I honestly don't remember exactly how it happened).

Same with Freddy (and hopefully Jason, because... I actually kinda wanted him anyway, but only because I'm obsessed with him as a horror character). I mean, these are guys that, sure are fictional, but so is MK. If Raiden or Shang Tsung were able to draw on these heros or villains as if they were real (and I don't mean pulling Earths fictional characters into reality), but assume that they are just lesser evils that have been tormenting Earth before Shao Khan showed up... I mean... obviously you'd try and get them to help... they are super human. I mean, do you want Jason Voorhees, or Kurtis Stryker? Stryker is awesome and everything... But Jason killed a lot of cops... a LOT of cops... I'm just saying.

I don't think they should be added into canon or anything, but I think it's fun, and I think it can be done right. I also think that characters like Kratos, Freddy, and Jason actually fit rather well as far as.... darkness, and character design go.

I'll be giving it chance knowing that I don't expect to see them in the next game, and at the end of the day, it's just to have a little fun.

Well there was Alien: Resurrection.

The only problem was that it was Alien: Resurrection.

Except for your insensitive comment about a "Catholic child from a Catholic mother = Child molester/monster"....you really did a great job with this thread.

I share the basic and most important sentiment of your post and agree with a few of your remarks....but that analogy up there was really unnecessary and comes off as a bit offensive, bud.

I understand you are joking (I absolutely love your humor and almost everything in this thread made me LOL), but, somethings can be a bit too much.

If it makes you feel any better, most of my family is Catholic. It was just such an obvious low-blow, I couldn't resist; I had to take it.

Does that make it any less politically incorrect? No. Was I right to make a joke about child molesters and catholic priests? No. Does confessing it make me a better person? No.

... and yet... I don't regret it. Yeah, I'm probably going to hell.

(then again, I hear it's under new management these days...)

So they bumped freddy back a week so they could promote it more, what promotion? It's been silence since the announcement.

Where is the promotion?

Just as I was thinkin, it's not promotion, it's just laziness

Promotion means kontent, not the lack kontent.

If so, then the game must have gotten a FUCK LOAD of promotion before april came around

I was raised Catholic and I didn't take any such offense. It was obvious he was being facetious. (or it was to me)

Very humorous and thoughtful "introspective". Honestly, I'd read more TL;DR types of articles if they were written like this.
