Ep.48 - It's All About Kontrol
Thursday Apr 18, 2024
Thursday Apr 18, 2024
"Control, control, you must have control!" Yoda was right, because the wrong control setup could mean the difference between being The Ultimate Mortal Kombat Champion or an absolute noob. As Jae explains, the bond between the controller and the player is very important, so we take a look at the wide variety of ways to play Mortal Kombat and learn quite a few things!
No matter your preference, you can't play MK without something in your hands. Unless you play with your feet. Is that even possible?
What's your favorite kontrol setup? Let us know in the comments!

Ep.47 - Does MK1 Hold Up?
Wednesday Mar 20, 2024
Wednesday Mar 20, 2024
It's hard to believe it's only been six months since we were eating up MK1, but now, for some of us, the meal appears to be over, the server has messed up the order, and the food was under-cooked. Before we perform a fatality on the latest Netherrealm offering, we take an honest, critical look at MK1's performance as a modern fighting game, highlighting both the good and bad. What does the future hold? Every game studio is responsible for its own destiny.

Ep.46 - Our Favorite Pokémon from Call of Duty
Wednesday Feb 21, 2024
Wednesday Feb 21, 2024
Who needs Scorpion when you have Link? Who needs MK's lore when you have Kojima's inventive storytelling? Who needs Invasions when you have the sprawling worlds of Metroidvanias? Who needs Mortal Komba—okay, that might go too far. We love Mortal Kombat, but we also love a lot of other franchises and game genres. We take a moment to talk about our favorite games growing up and in present day, and even touch upon the philosophical question of why we play games. So take off your ninja outfit for once and sit down for some enriched conversation about vidya.

Ep.41 - It’s Deadly Alliance Time
Wednesday Sep 13, 2023
Wednesday Sep 13, 2023
It's time for Kombat once again! In threee deee! While we all wait on pins and needles for MK1's release, the Kombat Krew takes a moment to dive into the first of the PS2-era games, Deadly Alliance. And though we've spoken negatively about this era of the franchise, we ended up actually liking it! We also take about (checks watch) forty minutes to talk about all the MK1 trailer reveal news that we've missed as we get hype for the New Era. So tie up your red headband and beware of backstabbing sorcerers as we dive in to a meaty helping of Kombat, past and present.

Ep.40 - Battle of ”Thea” Realms (and Tattoos)
Thursday Jul 27, 2023
Thursday Jul 27, 2023
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well, we're not sure how flattering these two particular games are. The Kombat Krew takes a break from their favorite franchise to talk about two games that failed in mimicking it: Thea Realm Fighters and Tattoo Assassins! We also talk some news that's admittedly outdated by now: our thoughts on the second MK1 gameplay trailer, Karl Urban being confirmed as our new movie Johnny Cage, and the zany-sounding next Legends movie. We're pretty hype about Li Mei, Tanya, and Baraka too, but that will be for another episode!
Have you ever played either of these games? Let us know in the comments!
