Just last week, I was telling my friends that my new dream job would be to sit around and brainstorm new Mortal Kombat Fatalities all day long. Then this video comes along from GameTrailers....

 

(Thanks for the tip, Alex N.! When are you coming over so you can watch these Fatalities...BEING PUT ON YOU.)

"Hey man, just really, like, let go... and hit my clavs!"  What an awesome job.

I'm glad to see this team really embrace the fun of the fatality, especially compared to their previous efforts.  Mortal Kombat: Deception was the last time they got it right at all, since Armageddon had the unsuccessful "Create Your Own Fatality" feature and MK Vs. DC Universe of course was tamed down for the Teen rating.  They've got the right idea that a nice, dark sense of humor is how you get to the heart of a Mortal Kombat player (pun intended).

Check out this Youtube video someone lovingly made with 500+ "classic" fatalities from various fighting games.  It's over two hours long!  Fortunately it has a menu letting you jump to the fatalities from particular games (including the older Mortal Kombats).

Wow! I had no idea so many games had fatalities, actually. I wish I had two hours to watch them all. I've already spent too much time this morning on this video. Thanks a lot. :P

Ah just add it to your favorites and come back to them once in a while to watch a new game's selection of finishing moves.  Clicking in the upper left corner of the movie takes you to a menu.  Watching them all in a row would be like watching an all Itchy and Scratchy marathon... kind of tough to take!

I need to check the end credits again to see if there's a "no game developers were killed in the making of this game" disclaimer. I wouldn't believe it anyway.
