I'm sure most of you were expecting to see the Mortal Kombat: Rebirth teaser that's been floating around the internet the past few days. Well, instead we have a trailer for the upcoming Mortal Kombat game that, I could only imagine, would have been announced at E3 next week. This year however, everyone seems to have wanted to let their cats out of their proverbial bags, so we're getting to see this stuff ahead of time — lucky us.

While the trailer certainly looks impressive, you have to wonder if the developer is taking its cues from Capcom — taking their classic 2D gameplay and giving it a shiny new 3D skin akin to Street Fighter 4. If you ask me though, that's probably a good thing. The recent entries into the series have done little in the way of innovate, and the concepts which seemed great in theory, ended up failing to impress in execution. Does this Mortal Kombat reboot have what it takes to bring the series back from the dead?  That remains to be seen, but this trailer is definitely a start.

SmarTrip Users Can Now Reload at CVS & Giant

Excellent!     Sent to you by tony via Google Reader:     SmarTrip Users Can Now Reload at CVS & Giant via DCist by Sommer Mathis on 6/16/09 Metro formally announced today that SmarTrip users can add value to their cards at select CVS and Giant Food stores . Last year, WMATA made SmarTrip cards more widely available for sale at CVS and Giant , but now customers can also choose to add money to their cards at both chains while they check out. Many CVS stores actually began offering customers the ability to reload their SmarTrip cards back in April, while Giant has only started to test the sales devices at eight area stores. The grocer will likely add 42 more locations later this summer. Not every CVS or Giant has the new SmarTrip reload technology, but a lot of them do. Consult the list of participating stores to find the one closest to you. The change means that SmarTrip users need no longer necessarily wait in line to access Metro's machines insi...

That Darn El Gato!

Still trying to get the hang of "phoning it in" to blogger.com. This is one of my roommate's cats. Like all cats, he likes to get into things, stand behind you when you're doing something important and then take a nap. Ain't he precious? Saw the preview for this movie; I was skeptical about it when I heard that they were making another one, but after the preview, I'm gonna plunk down 10 bills for this one. And of course, there's Beyonce... Good night everybody! http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/thepinkpanther/index.html

Ma'am I'm not a hero, I'm just doing my job!

I wrote this in response to a friend who posted a blog entry about heroes a few days ago: When I was a young boy, my aunt would let me and my sister go to 7-Eleven; it was one of the few areas we were allowed to go by ourselves. Generally, I was there for a Slurpee, but once a week, something magical would happen: the 7-Eleven would receive new comics!!! Oh joy! New comics! Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Hulk, Captain America, the X-Men and my favorite, Spider-Man. Yes, for the longest, he's been one of my favorites to read and even though I don't buy comics anymore (are you kidding me, look at the price tag?!?) I still casually read it when I'm in my favorite bookstore and occasional, I'll buy graphic novels. He's been my favorite for several main reasons: 1-He's like me. Oh sure, he was a teenager by the time I started reading but I understood what it was like to have a good day at school but a bad day at home. Or a good day at home, a ...
