When I first joined back in the MK DA days. Early 2001 i think. Watching all this new footage of johnny cage fighting someone on a quick time player

The times when 'Ice baby', 'RazorsEdge' and 'MKHYPE' were around (even if we didn't always click).

Hard to pick any one specific memory, but looking back my favorite memory overall is the gamers.com era, back when I really become an active participant here. Also, the hype and excitement for MK:DA after that Scorpion and Jax teaser was released was a truly wonderful time to be here.

Maybe this is premature, but I think later this week, my new all-time favorite MKO memory will be going to the MK11 Reveal event in Los Angeles and finally meeting my long time friend, the man who started it all, Scott Howell! I'm equal parts excited and nervous.

I was sitting here wondering what it was that I remembered and I thank you for bringing up the Drive By thread.

I remember when that was shut down and it was either because some shit started there or the fallout following the thread's closing.

Bringing it up, I miss it once more.

-Creating the greatest MK sprite comic of all time, the Adventures of Spirit Liu

-Becoming ]{0MBAT's slave to do a bunch of Flash animations.

-Arguing with countless people about how Quan Chi is just a shallow pretender to Shang Tsung's crown.

-Generally being a problematic piece of shit. I'm so much more zen now.

-That whole thing with Death Cargo, which never came out, just like we said it wouldn't.

Did we ever find out who Siduu101 was?

Damn, Spirit Liu was the shit! Did I argue about this Quan Chi situation? I ask because MK9 and X DID piss me off when Quan Chi just kept getting his shine on while Shang got killed to power up a fucking Lich Queen.

It's rough to answer that question, but I had some good memories.

• Learning and making sigs for folks was fun
• Drive by thread was probably the best shit ever
• MK9 KOTH with some members here was aight
• The bullshit that spawned here

All in all wasn't too bad. Been lurking here and there recently. Place hasn't changed. Folks still bitch about the roster and immediately post asinine wishlists.

Bloodline's "TOOOOOORRRRRCHIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAA" will stick with me forever.

Holy shit, yes. I have a version of this saved on my computer too!



Man, I forgot we got you to shave your facial hair into a Hitler 'stache. That was fantastic.

What a wonderful time in my life.

Ahhh man. So many memories, lol. I went through my teen angst years on this site, so a lot of trolling and overall being an ass. Let's see...late nights in the IRC channel, chatting with everyone, being shadow banned for like 10 years and not being able to be unshadowed for one reason or another (I think it was because I trolled Crow too much), Temp's "be a fucking leader" post, making genuine friendships with a lot of people here, even if they didn't survive the ravages of time (especially Chan-Ming, she was definitely my best MKO friend, sorry everyone else!)

But honestly...signing up to the website was the greatest thing I've ever done in my life. It instilled a lifelong love of Mortal Kombat into me, even when, at times, I lost interest in the series and didn't play. I always came back to MK and subsequently MKO. And I'm glad I did, or else I wouldn't be where I am today.

I work at Netherrealm Studios.

100% serious. And that would not have been possible without MKO and everyone on the site. So thank you guys. Whether you liked me or didn't (or hell, even if you don't remember me) this place played a huge part in shaping my future.

Thanks @overkill_78. Appreciate it buddy and hanging with us all these years.

I'll have to double down on this as my favorite memory. I was trying to recall this guy's username.

I have a fond memory of a user by the name of FatSatan being named the #1 poster for all of the Gamers.com boards from back in the day, like 2001 or so. Not sure why thats a fond memory, but these forums made a huge deal about it and declared that day "FatSatan" day.

Long live, FatSatan! (He does still live, by the way. Reports of his death are greatly exaggerated.)

Speaking of memories...

I have absolutely ZERO memory of whatever the hell is going on below lol

I got banned in like 2003 or something. I have no idea why, but whatever it was, I'm sure I deserved it, as I was a Troll before that shit was fashionable. I got myself unbanned just this year. Did a search for my name, and found this topic made by Jonin in late December 2018 - less than a month from when I ran into the old crew at the MK11 reveal. So, whatever the heck I did it scarred Jonin so much that he felt the need to bring it up 15 years later.

C'mon Jonin , spill the beans would ya?
