Mortal Kombat 11 gameplay as seen by a ‘90s arcade rat

January 17th, 2019 05:03 PM

Enlarge / Scorpion has come a long way in Mortal Kombat 11, but he's still a golden ninja with flaming powers, so it works for me. I was 15 when Mortal Kombat first hit the arcades in 1992. It was a different era then—no social media, no modern Internet to speak of, and we didn't have year-long teaser campaigns for new games.

The Knicks really lost to the Wizards on a game-winning goaltend call

January 17th, 2019 04:42 PM

What a way to tank! Fans in London just watched one of the weirdest endings to a basketball game possible as the Wizards beat the Knicks on a GOALTEND as the clock struck zero.
