When the Mortal Kombat flash dancers come to your town, you’d better not get in their way, because their mad skills have been known to cause FATALITIES!
These wacky dancers are here to make New York forget all about Occupy Wall Street, and their erratic behavior brings a smile to the faces of those who happen to catch them in action, except of course for the hapless store owners, who are clearly not amused by the show.

What could possibly make a hat with a Tesla coil attached to the top even cooler? The Tesla coil plays the Mortal Kombat theme song, and the only thing that could make this hat cooler would be if it shot lightning bolts at your opponents, Raiden style!

Steven Lefcourt of TastyPaints was inspired by the controversy over the violence in video games to create this set of 8-Bit Fatalities:
Before Mortal Kombat, violence in video games was largely unheard of or ignored because of its extreme pixelized simplicity. But when Liu Kang and Sub Zero came along to finish off arcade goers the world changed and parents were in an uproar (not mine though).
I couldn’t understand what the big deal was though, because as a videogame player all my life I had already considered my actions life and death. Just because you didn’t see pac-man violently tearing into the ghosts with his jaws, or mario smashing in the brains of a goomba, thats what I knew was happening. I knew my goal was to kill these enemies, so Mortal Kombat wasn’t a big change for me. To me, it was still just a game, where fake deaths happened as part of game progression. To uninformed adults, however, Mortal Kombat was a photo realistic depiction of kids becoming complicit in virtual murders. And so, I decided to show everyone just what I imagined was happening when these little blocky, pixelized abstractions did when they came into contact with eachother, but in a much more visceral, and gory way than could ever be shown with limited graphical systems.
I’m totally digging the Dig Dug fatality! Link – via kottke
