  I look forward to trying Erron Black, the gunslinger. What a great dumb character.

  completed the game with Hellfire Scorpion on Medium difficulty using 1 continues (Klassic Tower). Well, that was easy. Cool credits sequence with statue-shaded characters.
• [5307]
  Why do the Kombat Kids look like Dreamworks characters?
• [5308]
  completed the game on Medium difficulty (Story Mode). Well, that was *real* easy. Disappointingly so. Still, it was a fun story . Why is Raiden evil now?

  completed the game with Scorpion (Test Your Might). Ouch, my wrist...
• [5313]
  completed the game with Jax on Medium difficulty using 3 continues (Klassic Tower).
• [5314]
  OK, the difference between Medium and Hard is pretty serious. It's a good thing - Medium is too easy.
• [5315]
  completed the game with Grandmaster Sub-Zero on Hard difficulty using 48 continues (Klassic Tower). Much harder, but in a good way. Except Shinnok, he was just annoying.

  Got the Inner Strength trophy. - Yes, got my one online win! :) Now I don't have to play online anymore - I really hate the laggy feeling and waiting in line... When I tried to view the replay, I got the message 'Playback data does not agree'.

  I wandered around the Krypt for a while, finding most of the items and earning a few Koins along the way. The Krypt is made in a Eye of the Beholder / Lands of Lore-style, where you move in a grid and rotate at 90 degree angles. I really like the style, but unfortunately, it's making me a bit queasy. I'm thinking about playing something like Lands of Lore with a controller. Those Grimrock guys should look into that. :)

  completed the game with Marksman Erron Black on Hard difficulty using 45 continues (Klassic Tower). What a cool dude. :)

  The guys at work enjoyed trying the new ultra-violence simulator. The game really makes a great first impression.

  completed the game with Shotgun Jacqui Briggs on Medium difficulty using 1 continues (Klassic Tower). I really like Jacqui, she plays a bit like a faster Jax, which makes sense, since she's Jax Jr.
• [5328]
  completed the game with Nimble Reptile on Medium difficulty using 3 continues and got the score: 1028640 (Klassic Tower).

  Grrr... That Corrupted Shinnok is *annoying* on hard difficulty.
• [5338]
  completed the game with Tigrar Fury Goro on Hard difficulty using 56 continues (Klassic Tower).
• [5339]
  I'm getting like half the points when I'm playing on Hard difficulty compared to Medium.

• [5395]
  completed the game with Possessed Kenshi on Medium difficulty using 1 continues and got the score: 1321968 (Klassic Tower). All those brutalities really help with the score.
• [5396]
  completed the game with A-list Johnny Cage on Medium difficulty using 2 continues (Klassic Tower). Nut-punched many eyeballs out of sockets.

  completed the game with Hollywood Cassie Cage on Medium difficulty (Klassic Tower). And for no good reason, Cassie Cage killed Shujinko, the character I played for hours and hours in MK: Deception.

  completed the game with Jacqui Briggs using 2 continues and got the score: 351939 (Invasion Tower). This tower and an Invasion Boss fight landed me 4 trophies, 'Stay Back' (invasion boss), 'Straight Power' (100 fatalities), 'Time Out' (winning by time out), and 'INVASION'.

  Fighting game night at work. Kalle, Erik, and me played for several hours. Erik got annoyingly good at MK, even though he doesn't own it himself.

  A Mortal Kombat XL disc was left in the office PS4. Simon and I stayed late and played some drunken matches. I did well with Scorpion and Jax.
