I don’t know who needs to know this, but the Olympic pairs skaters from Georgia just performed a Mortal Kombat themed gala skate and ended it with a fatality.
Hey everyone
Don't normally post on here too much, but considering the circumstances of this, I really felt compelled to share it
Matt Yang King (the VA for Liu Kang) had recently lost his partner to cancer after battling it for 5 years.
Understandably, the nature of Americas
@_potofeu_@gali_le0 The scene with him and the mannequins where James hides in the closet. Ito confirmed it was not meant to be anything sexual but it does look very unfortunate and people just ran with that.
We lost a legend today. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa @CHTOfficial played Shang Tsung in the 1995 Mortal Kombat film and sadly passed away at age 75. We had the privilege of his portrayal on the first MK film but also as an amazing voice actor in the Mortal Kombat 11 game.
Cary was one of a kind. He combined danger, swagger and athleticism to his roles and will always be remembered as the man who first brought Shang Tsung to life on film.
Rest in Peace. Your soul is eternal.

After an incredible 37 year career, on October 1st, Dan Forden (1/4 of the original Mortal Kombat team) began his well earned retirement. I cannot overstate the impact Dan has made on pinball, videogames, NetherRealm & especially Mortal Kombat.
A significant part of the first Mortal Kombat's identity was in its tone, mystique and outrageous presentation.
Remember the first time you saw & heard an uppercut?
The explosive impact..
The announcer's wicked laugh..
The "DUN DUN DUN" before a fatality?
Remember the amazing music that defined the atmosphere of the fighting arenas?
That was all Dan.
You may also know him as the (now infamous) "Toasty Guy" but Dan's audio single handedly created a literal atmosphere that played a major role in the feel and vibe of Mortal Kombat.
Please watch and (more importantly) listen to this video. Anything sound familiar? Bring back any memories? I hope you'll join us in thanking Dan for his amazing contributions to MK, and games in general.
