pax starts on March 11th if I am not mistaken. thats about 42 days give or take a day

we are already 1/5th the way there from this threads start!

80

Thanks for telling me! I hope more compentent players show off the characters and that Raiden, Kabal and Smoke are in the build.

Soon we have passed a quarter from this thread's start. When there's a month left until the release, we are officially near.

cant wait to see kratos' fatalities and use one on stryker

Im more looking forward to getting my platinum trophy myself.

my plans for MK2011:

-Arcade mode with Sektor (maybe Ermac aswell if im not dying for story mode right away.
-Tag mode with Sektor and Ermac
-Story mode in its entirety
-Challenge Tower
-Arcade and Practice a bunch.
-Tutorial mode (for the trophy it will no doubtedly include)
-Online.

I dont plan on aggressively approaching online until logging a good amount of time in Practice mode. I want to be at my best for myself aswell as any tag partner (likely MINION most of the time).

Until I figure out at least 5 different 50% combos and a good attack plan. Im not takign any chances. top tier records online is a must for me and im not letting anybody down, im going for all top kudos ratings from spectators.

My mortal kombat bone swells with each days passing!!!

Race ya!

99 WAYS TO DIE:

Day 21: Blown up by a crushing uppercut from the fist of an angry god....of thunder!

79 days remaining. Relax: Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

Slick. I've been listening to a bunch of Pumpkins lately after not having done so in a number of years. Currently have Machina I on repeat.

Smashing Pumpkins is awesome. I'm listening to it too though I haven't bought any of their albums yet. You must listen to Soundgarden too, do you not? It's brilliant.

Hell yes. Superunknown was the very first CD I owned when I made the transition from cassettes. Very happy they're back together and can't wait to see 'em live.

My fave Pumpkins album is probably Mellon Collie. There's a song for every mood on there!

Chis Cornell is such a talented singer. Spoonman, Burden In My Hand and not to mention his other productions and projects he's had. I'm glad Soundgarden reunited too. Did you know that they will release a new live album called Live on 15 in March?

Yep, and I'm giddily waiting for it. Day I Tried to Live and SLaves & Bulldozers are two of my favorites....but shit, there's no such thing as a Soundgarden song I don't like, really.

A picture was taken of them in Pearl Jam's studio just recently. Fingers crossed for a new album.


99 WAYS TO DIE (Just realized I've been off on my countdown since like day 13, which I wrote twice, so I've fixed that. Bump up by one):

Day 22: Stabbed with a large bo staff, and shaken at such speeds as to cause tearing of skin, and then an explosion...somehow.

MK RULZ!!!!!

And it's a band that you can recognize even if you're listening to a Soundgarden song you haven't listened to before. Hopefully yes, there have been rumors floating for a while now that they'll release a brand-new album. Alice In Chains is another great band, have you listened to it? @Day 22: Been eating TNT? o_0 (though eating a small portion of TNT itself kills you)

Yep, huge Alice in Chains fan. Was very happy with Black Gives Way to Blue, and saw them a few months back, which is something I thought I'd never, ever get a chance to do. So glad I was wrong.


99 WAYS TO DIE:

Day 23: TOMAHAWK'D (Thus I begin my dabbling into the MK4-Deception period)

Oh yeah? I should go see its gig too once it gets to Finland. I'm glad that the band is still upright, even though no one can't replace Layne Staley, William DuVall was probably the best guy to fill the place. I came up with an idea that in addition to your death way countdown we should have a countdown with good music, as it seems we both like good music. Are you with me? We would alternately provide a song per a day from these bands, for the beginning: Smashing Pumpkins, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and Faith No More. I think this'll be fun. Let's try to pick all bands quite evenly. Here it goes:

77 WAYS TO ROCK: Alice In Chains - No Excuses

If it's okay, I'll leave the music to you - I'm trying to keep my countdown MK themed, and It's going to be tricky putting the rest of the ones I have left into a sensible order (I want to finish with a bang). Just music alone for a countdown doesn't make much sense to me since...well, we're counting down to MK after all. No offense. :)

Also, I have never heard more than maybe one Faith No More song >_> They good? Def. check out Alice in Chains, DuVall is by no means a replacement for Layne, but he does the band proud and makes the songs work well live.

What I am actually considering doing later though, is a video montage of every single fatality I've named, in sequence, along with the Megadeth song.

99 WAYS TO DIE:

Day 24: Stretched out to thin proportions and exploding from a kiss of death.

No I meant that in addition to your 99 WAYS TO DIE countdown we would have this 77 WAYS TO ROCK. Every day a new song. That'd be a cool apex to that, you should definitely use the song. Faith No More is one of my favorite bands and I'm sure it's a band you'll like too, though it's a bit different from those above mentioned. It's alternative rock. They reunited recently after ten years of their break. Try these songs:
Faith No More - Midlife Crisis
Faith No More - Falling To Pieces
Faith No More - Underwater Love

I get ya, but...there's still no connection to Mortal Kombat within that countdown. It would just be showing a completely unrelated love of a few bands...so, sorry, but I'll pass.

Your on...

Im taking at least 2 days off of work for this game so You better be fast

It's alright. We can listen to music in any case. I might keep providing some songs here and there to ease the wait for the launch day though. 77 WAYS TO ROCK: Alice In Chains - Would?

Oh, trust me. Everyone at my work knows that the day before it's out I'm taking a completely unexpected "fall down a flight of stairs".

99 WAYS TO DIE:

Day 25: Brain ripped out of skull.

Can't wait to get down on another mk game.

99 WAYS TO DIE:

Day 26: Deep gashes inflicted with a wrist-blade to neck, hips and shoulders, followed by a stab to the chest, the pullback from which rips the torso away from the head and limbs.
