OK, this has been a challenge for me for about 10 years. Win 50 consecutive matches in a row on Mortal Kombat II, unlock the shadow ninja, 'Noob Saibot', and attempt to kick his ass. The AI on the new 3.1 chip (which is installed in our machine) is so insanely difficult, that you can barely get close enough to him to land a strike before he has ground you into bread. Last Friday, after I had a few beers with Joey, Amy, Nick & Ben, I decided to give this another attempt.
It takes a long time to reach him, because getting the 50 wins can take anywhere from half an hour to an hour or so, and then, you return to Goro's lair from the first Mortal Kombat, and you get the chance to fight the shadow ninja. And he is completely unpredictable. He steals moves from Scorpion, though can run and teleport behind you, etc. I had Kitana selected when the battle began, and I think I may have fared much better with Sub-Zero or Reptile. Anyway, I gave it a good run, but he still mangled me.
Check out the video, and until next time, cheers!

After a brief hiatus, I am back to updating my column. It has been a rough month, the gang (mostly) have been sick, babies have been sick, bills have been large and tickets have been issued. But, at the end of the month, in retrospect I think everyone has enjoyed the last few weeks, and with Jill & Scott's birthday party right around the corner, much steam was about to be blown off. We all assembled a group of people, (and although I wasn't able to make it to the bar) and had it large on December 18th, where a VIP party was planned at the TreeHouse, in downtown Tulsa. The admission was 15$ cash each person, and unlimited top-shelf liquors and beers flowed throughout the crowd all night. People seemed to be coming out of the ducts and woodwork.
After the bar, everyone returned to our place, and fired up the High Voltage arcade. I tried to get a total head count of everyone in attendance, but due to the crazy activity happening everywhere the constant distractions kept my ADD highly active! There is a huge collection of photos documenting the nights events in the forums here: http://www.justinedlich.com/regalia/index.php/forums?task=viewtopic&id=1328 Log in and check them out! Till next time, cheers! |
