I'm not a fan of Mortal Kombat so I won't be watching this one.  I will say that I did watch the very first MK movie from the 90's and for a video game movie from that time, it really wasn't THAT bad.  But that's about all I can say about Mortal Kombat.  I mean, I picked my three favorite characters by what color they wear.  And since my favorite color is green, my favorite MK characters are Reptile, Sonya Blade, and Jade.

When I was really little, my dad worked for Texas Instruments and Mostek, making chips for Atari cartridges.

I have to work on Black Friday.  Luckily I work in the plumbing section of a major hardware chain, so I probably won't have to deal with too many crowds since people usually don't buy toilets on Black Friday. :)

It actually follows the same plot almost exactly.  You visit a few more locations in the game that wouldn't fit as well with a action packed movie.  But I knew what was going to happen in the movie the whole way through because I had already played the game.  The game is pretty much Phoenix Wright for kids.

Yeah I heard about that WB Multi-versus game or whatever it's called.  I doubt Disney would do that with their characters because they are so picky about them.

Hey you know how you talk about the Arcade Archives games sometimes?  Well I just got one of them because it's a very significant game to me.  It's called Libble Rabble and I'll let you try and guess why it coming out on Arcade Archives is such a big deal.  At least to me anyway.

Detective Pikachu is a great movie.  The 3DS game it's based on is great, too.

Yes I love amiibo figures.  I just wish Metroid Dread wasn't so hard.  I can't defeat the last boss!

Congrats on a new job.  I have to work weekends most of the time.  Usually I don't mind it, but lately i feel like it cuts into my social life, what little I have.  At least it's better than when I was working nights.  That got old real fast.  Well I hope you can still visit here and blog and read our blogs and such.

About that...  One thing I miss about the old consoles is you just turned them on and boom, you could play a game.  Now you have to wait for it to load, show you the console's logo, then connect to the internet, then load a game, show all the companies that worked on it and what engies they used, etc.  It takes a good few minutes just to start a game anymore!

I like Fantasy Zone, but I don't remember seeing it in arcades when I was a kid.  I didn't play it much on consoles back then either, as I didn't have any SEGA consoles as a kid.  A friend of mine had a Master System and I played a lot of Fantasy Zone: The Maze on it.  The music in those games is so catchy!  I have a Opa-Opa figure on my desk!

I like how Space Harrier and Fantasy Zone take place in the same world.  In fact, in the newest Space Harrier game: Planet Harriers, Opa-Opa is a secret character!

For a while, Opa-Opa was even SEGA's mascot before Sonic!  I remember seeing him as an icon in games like Zillion and such.  More recently, he's appeared in the Sonic and SEGA All-Stars racing games, and in the Project X Zone games on 3DS, he teams up with Ulala to help her fight!
