Fight!

I grew up in the 90's a time when there was a battle for dominance in the fighter genre. Many joined the camp of Street Fighter, a good choice because no one wants to fuck with Ryu or Zangief or M. Bison...basically you don't want to end up on the bad side of any character from that universe. Others joined the ranks of Tekken, again a list of great characters. Some backed Virtua Fighter, a classic that has lost its way.

However, there was only one fighter that captured my imagination as a child. A game so brutal and amazing. A game so iconic that it has had an impact on many people.

Mortal Kombat!

This is the series I pledged my allegiance to. And there were 2 characters out of all the characters in every fighter ever made that to me were badass. Scorpion and Sub Zero. These are my fighting game icons. Sure, you might want other showdowns in the game like Raiden vs Liu Kang or something but no! The classic match will always be Scorpion vs Sub Zero and I cannot wait to do battle with the new Mortal Kombat.

Also, I can't wait to see them appear in Mortal Kombat: Legacy which is a web series you should be watching.

Food. Glorious Food

Also, it made me tired. What is this madness? It made me so tired that I didn't even finish my dinner.

Next stop, care home.

Feeling Like A Fraud

So, in my confusing life, I currently find myself working as a young business man. Even typing that sentence seems fraudulent. I haven't studied business since my GCSE years, had no interest in it at university hence why I didn't study it and have only recently started learning the basics.

Fair enough, you say? Almost everyone finds themself learning something new.

Touche, I say, but did you have to learn while becoming an assistant project planner on one of the biggest projects your company has ever undertaken?

Yesterday, I was in a meeting discussing large business decisions. In such a situation, I did what I always do. Blag my way through and hope that waht I'm saying doesn't sound like absolute idiotspeak. I think I pulled it off.

Now, to blag another meeting tomorrow.

The Third Attempt and a bit of Air Force One

So, I wrote two previous blogs. One was about my unemployed status but I don't update that anymore because I have a job.If I updated it still it would make me a liar and I don't think I could live with that. The other blog was about music that I found. I don't update that anymore because searching for new music while working and juggling life is hard and there's no time anymore. Sorry artists I have not written about. Nothing personal.

So why this blog? Why should my (un)exciting adventures be read by you? Why should this blog be read over the millions of other blogs that compete for space on the web? I don't know. Maybe you like reading about someone you've never met. I'm not here to judge.

So, what (un)exciting adventure have I had lately? Well, nothing at the moment. I watched Air Force One last night so I was the passive watcher of quite an exciting, albeit very USA USA USA, thriller. In this instance Han did not shoot first. Some ridiculous scenes though, like the fighter jet that 'jumped' in front of Air Force One to take the missile headed for the plane, just to hammer home the point of patriotism.

However, being the geek that I am, I was wondering about the political and global impacts that occured after the credits rolled in that fictional universe. There was mention of a military base loyal to the evil General that was killed and whoever ran that base ordered an attack on Air Force One. Now, I'm guessing it wasn't all, yay the President is safe. I'm assuming that this would have dragged the USA into a full scale war against the aggressors, based in Kazakhstan, with the Russians acting as allies. I want to see that film happen. I mean this enemy force had access to military hardware! Show me the fallout of the attack on Air Force One.
