15 years ago today, Mortal Kombat (2011) was originally released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in NA. It was developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
Flash was everywhere. Now it's gone. Sound familiar?
Flash is just part of the story of VANISHING CULTURE, a new book exploring the fight to preserve our fragile digital history. 📖

Happy 30th birthday, Metal Slug. One of the absolute greats launched on this day in 1996.
Metal Slug 30th anniversary illustration
Metal Slug 1 main visual
30 years after creating the main visual for Metal Slug, former SNK artist Naohisa Yamaguchi / 山口直久 (AKA NaoQ) has created a new illustration to mark the series’ anniversary.

And now for the madness/ randomness that the Horseshoe has been building to (has anyone actually brought a horseshoe to the ring yet?) in #SpringBreakX
I've really gotten into the #GCW and #Collective events this year, with #SlamFest in between. Wild, & most importantly, fun.
I see QT still has his Factory stablemates. I thought his Shadaloo had dispersed.
I also thought Camorato would be his Sagat, but it's the Balrog that's since joined a new crew... #RoH #HonorClub
Bloodsport shutting down? I know it changed slightly from its original output, but has something gone down?
Respect Josh and those killers for respecting their integrity and not letting it get mundane. It is a special, unique experience to see now and again. #JBBSXV
One thing that has irked me about these #TheCollective (maybe #SlamFest) shows is that they're often having mic issues....
.... but then constantly seeing mics dropped or thrown after promos. Pretty sure these indies don't have infinite budgets?
Chyna passed away 10 years ago (!!!) today. She really wanted to go into the HOF solo (ironic or petty that Corporate Officer No.3, I mean Stephanie McMahon, is getting inducted today of all days?). In 2022, I wrote about why she should be inducted solo.

Another day at the Horseshoe, checking out the bloody main course of some #JBBSXV after that The World Lucha.
Somehow gotta stay awake until 8 in the morning for the Multiverse dessert...
Should I actually try for sleep, or should this Collective train continue with #DeathVegasInvitational. I'll be feeling like death warmed up at work in a few hours!
(Kudos to that Horseshoe ref btw, who's done three shows, in three different ref kits)
Blimey, even with the hour delay, it seems dual screening (or triple screening) may be required tonight. #AEWCollision starting, as an AEW filled main event is underway at #WCSupershow.
Wonder if Jericho is watching the #WCSuperShow main event, considering his bald bully is facing off against a former Jericho Cruise Oceanic Champion...
Hey, Forbidden Door London mention!
Actually, Bandido and Galeno are the standout. This became an intense grudge match fast.
Masks broken, chairs toppled. Feels like a once in a long time encounter, so they're making sure to both get their pound of flesh. #WCSupershow
Swirl Vs SubCulture probably my match of the show (and of the day of what I've seen so far).
Props to the latter for doing double duty in the space of 4 hours too. The Welsh sure have the durability factor. #WCSupershow
Back to the shoe of the horse for more Collective Wrestling, this time in tribute for Mark Hitchcock with the #WCSupershow
We've already had Teddy Holla'ing, and now HEADSWOGGLE!
#WrestleCon
Turtles this episode (what an omen for the girls), and now ducks the next?
This may be my favourite race yet, based on animal employment alone...
#RaceAcrossTheWorld
Fair play to the Scouse lads. From that far back to getting past two teams.
They're gonna need to do three jobs a day from here on though. They won't be the first team to be a 2nd elimination due to running out of funds (because of TAXIS).
#RaceAcrossTheWorld
It's not farm work (still rare this series), but working with the turtles in care has pushed the ladies up in my estimations.
Of course, they need to be paid in cash, but I'm sure pizza would've also worked?
#RaceAcrossTheWorld
Only two episodes in Europe? Blimey, those were some fast boats. Another Asian series it is (the third, or the fourth?)
#RaceAcrossTheWorld
Third week in a row I've started #RaceAcrossTheWorld an hour later, this time because of Vegas. I'd absolutely give away any head start during a leg.
Can they get it on at 9 from next week once The Apprentice has decided on their next court jester?
Guess I might as well vault over to Vegas with all the wrestling going on the next few days. If I'd been there in person, I absolutely would've stuck to the Slam Fest and Collective shows.
Starting off with some British graps at a reasonable time! #ProgressWrestling #Chapter193
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. #AEWDynamite
You WAAAAAAAAAAT?
Four coffin drops, and a headlock takedown as promised? I never expected it to be THIS fast. I thought we were getting another big overrun!
Well that's certainly a talking point in the biggest week of wrestling...
#AEWDynamite
Everyone went from crying.... To everyone wanting that world title.
I must say, Kevin makes quite the case. Especially if him becoming Jet2 Belts, especially if that saves £50 per person.
I'll hold his hand...
#AEWDynamite #SpringBreakthru
Someone shouted Mortal Kombat at Dynasty, and now we've had a Street Fighter reference from Excalibur.
If we get a Guilty Gear or Killer Instinct on Collision, they may have captured my life energy.
#AEWDynamite #SpringBreakthru
EVERYBODY'S CRYING!
Oh feck it, I'll have a cry too. #AEWDynamite
Wait, wasn't the ppv on at the weekend? So many title matches in one night, before another night, that it might be a ppv echo...
I thought last week was the nonstop week, but of course it all never ends! (Unless it ends up on the beach)
