Any cliff notes for those of us who can't listen at the moment? Would love to know details.

One of the tidbits....

He says whenever they release a new character, he always has fans getting at him saying "Oh, well since they're in, I guess this character isn't it." He said people need to be patient and chill out. He said there's a lot he wants to say to refute those fans but he can't yet.

Says this MK will have most new MK characters since the 1st MK, so I'm assuming 10-12 in total.

Honestly, Eyebrowalities would change my opinion of the game from "eh, when it's cheap" to "I will shove children and old ladies out of my way to pick this up day one."

It has to be so frustrating reading some of the asinine things people say about something when you know all of the intimate details about it.

Nah, Ed's a pro in the truest sense. As long as us geeks keep the hype train rolling, he probably doesn't care what dumb stuff we come up with to pass the time.

Reveals will trickle slowly though, so fans need to be patient "Fresh blood" More new chars than any other MK. EB is the final 'fatality approver', if you didn't know.

I haven't seen anything this funny here since the armpit-hair thread. EDIT: i've listened and added brief summary above.

I'm not typing up a transcript. It's a short interview, lots of joking around but at the same time, he's very honest about what's going on there.

A good deal of the same questions are asked, but some of the other ones were enlightening, where he said about fans hounding him, "asking if so and so is in.", etc. Major Nelson asked about Sektor, and Boon couldn't really comment.

Sure. I think it's time for grown men to not use Disney characters as their Avis or signatures, but hey...That's just me!

Your post totally screams, "I'm not smart enough to come up with a good insult. So I'll just be passive-aggressive and show everyone how much of a close-minded douche I am by enforcing my ageist beliefs and poking fun at his avatar, even though my avatar is an ugly ass ninja which looks like it was made with MS Paint." I never stated my age. And the fact that you made a reference to it tells me you must have done your damndest to stalk me and find out any possible dirt for the perfect insult. Did I damage your ego that bad? But here's the problem. I'm secure with who I am and I don't give a shit what you or anyone else thinks about me or my interests. Also, how hypocritical is it to make fun of someone with a video game avatar on a video game website? Dude, sit down.

Come on, guys. Let's just agree that you're both awful and go on about our business.

So standing up for myself against someone who outright discriminated against me makes me "awful?" Wow. And for the record, I did "go on about my business." My previous comment was made literally almost 9 hours ago and that was the end of it. It's you reigniting the whole thing with your response. So let's not get it twisted.

Pretty much. Your little-girl fit of a post because some dude made fun of your avatar doesn't cast you in the best light.

My icon was probably done in MS Paint. Why should I put effort in an avatar?

I really didn't put much effort at all into the retort, I was just being a smart ass. In a thread about "news", you decided to try and derail it with your stupid comment, so I gave you the five seconds of attention you clamored for and then you went on some rant.

Talk about not using butthurt....Dude, you got pretty butthurt there.

Is this some sort of performance art to reinforce the fact that some fans are deranged sub-humans who'll bicker about really stupid things? Because I'll give it to you - that's brilliant, if it is. Still, time to steer back to the Major Nelson interview.

And, yes. People will sound smarter if they say "butthurt" less.
