HOSPITALITY! (FTW)

It’s a little known fact that the fierce competitors of Mortal Kombat were not always the merciless monsters depicted in the video game. Now, don’t get us wrong, Victors often saw it necessary to punish their opponents accordingly by tearing out a heart or sending one plummeting into a pit of spikes; but every once and a while, the honorable victor would take mercy on his opponent by sitting them down to a hospitable meal as they reminisced about the fight over a fine glass of Bordeaux.

Given the pronunciation similarity in sound between the name of New Jersey’s “Hoboken” and Ryu’s infamous catch phrase “hadouken,” I’m surprised someone didn’t do this sooner. This photo is a the sign for Interstate 76 East, and that combo is for Ryu’s fireball. Capcom should seriously look into the marketing possibilities.

Seriously, people. Your fandom has gone to far when it becomes a choking hazard for your infant. (No matter how cute the resulting photo is.)

This is far and away the best take on the Superbowl that I’ve seen. The title of the panel is “Lord of the Super Bowl Rings.”
