Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe Official Trailer

This isn't a video game blog, but I had to mention this. I've always been a HUGE fan of Mortal Kombat and MK was the subject of my first website back in high school. The idea of getting characters from each faction together is really cool and I look forward to playing this.

  2. Whoa, whoa. A post without mention of MooTools? Does my RSS reader deceive me? No? Gasp!

    Haha, but anyhow. Interesting missing images tag – I can’t see myself using it, but good to know it’s out there.
