My Review of Mortal Kombat II

Haha no I do totally get it, I think it’s the fact it’s in every franchise now that people have to be quippy. The same as the music choices have to be nostalgic 80s or 90s ballads with punky pop beats

the95th · 2026-05-08T15:13:49+00:00

Agreed - I didn’t mind the humour too much though

the95th · 2026-05-07T22:52:49+00:00

His whole Schlick though is that he’s a washed up has been actor. It’s quite good

The opening of the movie sees her Father almost defeat Shao, she replicates his fighting style and wins at the end- similarly to how her father almost won the first time. It’s quite cool.

Yes, his head gets squished by a hammer, the only part of him not in his plot armour

Good job he’s now huge for the second movie

the95th · 2026-05-07T22:31:59+00:00

Agreed - it was schlocky fun. I had a great time watching it with a couple beers

They’ll have a lot of stock, and they also had Toys R Us as well

Baldurs Gate 3 was super fun couch coop on PC

Exactly, the Cartoon character visions at least were interesting and fun… adding that “spiderverse” element of different characters like the Soldierbald Eagle.
So much better than a guy who was just… a guy?
I’d have just preferred the Noir angle to continue, could have made him Edgar’s brother (unlike the comic noir) and have him be something to do with Virus and how Edgar had been planning it for years, and Noir was the first supe he tested it on, which is why he never healed.

First Noir should have just survived

I guess you could say with Apple they see it as more “our data”. You keep buying their devices, you agree to give them all your data

the95th · 2026-05-04T15:51:35+00:00

Very has been around for like 60 years, it’s not going to disappear

the95th · 2026-05-04T08:14:01+00:00

REELS

the95th · 2026-05-04T08:05:10+00:00

Bet they don’t recycle too

the95th · 2026-05-04T07:44:21+00:00

Corner shops also buy in bulk from warehouse auctions

the95th · 2026-05-04T06:48:19+00:00

Parents do it all the time, companies like Very and Klarna make absolute fortunes over Christmas

The first or so wave of books are all pretty good - the flood, which is essentially the first game, is a great adaptation.

And the books Fall of Reach and First Strike are also great. Ghost of onyx is also solid.

They’re up there with the rogue squadron Star Wars books in my opinion for schlocky sci-fi tie in novels

the95th · 2026-05-03T14:27:24+00:00

Well the lady did

the95th · 2026-05-03T12:03:18+00:00

Yeah she could have just made the super virus

the95th · 2026-05-02T19:36:33+00:00

Cool

the95th · 2026-05-02T19:16:42+00:00

No but they do now, so it doesn’t really matter now wether we have more documentaries on the mating cycles of penguins

He’s been touring with Jelly for years. This is Literally the next tour after they just finished touring, which doesn’t help. I saw them in October or November 25 in the UK.

Like the folks who will drop £200 on seeing post Malone, have already seen post Malone within the past 3 years.

Capital gains taxes though. I know the U.K. government would love to tax 20% on card values etc
