Uggghhhh. 6 hours. WTF.
I made that up, but it's going to take awhile. GTA V took a solid 15-30 minutes to install off the disc.
And you know that there's a day 1 patch too.

I expected either the PC/console argument or arcade/console argument to happen eventually. Just not over Tecmo Bowl.

On the day of Mortal Kombat's UK launch, series creator Ed Boon has recounted the controversy that marred the very first game in the gory fighting series.

Mortal Kombat, which launched on the SNES and Mega Drive in 1993 after its arcade release, sparked a moral panic after politicians noticed its digitised, over-the-top violence, particularly in relation to its Fatalities.

Nintendo decided to censor the game, insisting that blood spurts be converted into grey sweat puffs and Fatalities be altered.

I knew that was true for MK1. But is it true for MK2?

I used to play Mortal Kombat 2 on an arcade machine at Pizza Hut back in the 90’s.

Mortal Kombat was one of those series that was better on Genesis anyway.
