Player Discovers Mortal Kombat's Secret Menus After Over 20 Years

Mortal Kombat brought the dark side to fighting games in the early 90s, and once gamers started finishing off their opponents with brutal fatalities they couldn't get enough.

But, like most arcade machines, there seemed to be nothing more to the game than what's presented after you plunk in a quarter, until one player's button mashing led to an amazing discovery.

It seems the game's creator Ed J. Boon put a hidden menu in the original arcade versions of Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3, and whoever enters the right button "code" can do all kinds of cool behind-the-scenes stuff via the "EJB Menu".

All secret characters can be instantly unlocked, you can watch endings for various characters, see every fatality, run diagnostics and play virtually impossible Galaga clone the "Penacho/Miller Game".

Here's a video posted by discoverer YourMKArcadeSource showing all the cool stuff found in the EJB Menu:

For This Cosplayer, The Hijab Is an Essential Tool

Ariel from The Little Mermaid

For Saraswati, a makeup artist in Malaysia, the head scarf isn't an obstacle to effective cosplay. In fact, without it, she wouldn't be nearly as effective. She uses a wide variety of colors, fabrics, and arrangements to depict her characters perfectly.

All The Cool Stuff That Was Too Expensive To Include In Deadpool

It's a sad but true fact that movie studios didn't have much faith in Deadpool, and if Ryan Reynolds hadn't championed the picture it may not have made it to the big screen.

But now I bet the studio is wishing their box office projections had been a bit more accurate, because they could have left in all kinds of cool stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor.

io9 put together a comprehensive collection of Everything That Was Too Expensive To Include In Deadpool, and in the interest of remaining spoiler free here's a partial list of what was cut:

a bartender, a guy with robot arms, a young member of the X-Men, a couple of villains, a couple of heroes and lots of sweet action scenes. 'Nuff said!

Modern Solo Adventures

The weirdest family dynamics of all time cover the several generations of Skywalkers. After The Force Awakens, we were left to imagine the interactions we missed between episodes VI and VII. Filling them in can be hilarious.



A Tumblr blogger named mamalaz has been publishing a series of photo-illustrated conversations between members of the Solo family, mainly Han and Ben, called Modern Solo Adventures. We see the fate of the galaxy interfering with quality time between parent and child, and vice-versa. The images are animated .gifs at the site. There are occasional guest appearances by Leia, Luke, Lando, and even Darth Vader if the joke calls for it.  -via Buzzfeed

Kanye Doesn't Even Have To Be Awake To Take The Internet By Storm

(Image Link)

Poor Kanye can't seem to catch a break these days- first he came forth and claimed he's broke, then Pizza Hut trolled him on Twitter him by offering him a job.

And then Kim snaps a shot of Kanye and North snoozing in the middle of a department store and hands it over to the internet trolls on a silver platter.

(Image Link)

Now we all know what happens when you're caught sleeping on the job, and just because Kanye is "the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation" doesn't mean he can knock out wherever and whenever he likes.

(Image Link)

Kanye has proven time and again that his life is more fantasy than reality, so "the voice of this generation" may have seen the Photoshops as a way to be "reborn"

(Image Link)

But secretly the Sleeping Kanye Photoshops probably made him as sad as a Keanu, as he dreamed of a day when the world would simply let him be "Shakespeare in the flesh". Shakespeare in the park is more like it, amirite?!

This Woman Says She's A Cat Trapped In The Wrong Body

There will always be people who don't feel comfortable in their own skin, convinced they were born the wrong sex, wrong ethnicity or, in a few extreme cases, wrong species.

It's easy to dismiss them as crazy or disturbed, but the truth is our identities define who we are, and if we don't feel comfortable in the skin we're in there are plenty of surgical ways to make our skin more suiting.

But in the case of Nano from Norway doctors have yet to invent a surgical procedure to solve her identity problem- because she believes she is a cat trapped in a human body.

Nano now prefers to speak in meows, hisses at dogs because her "instinct automatically reacts by hissing", and always wears ears and a tail in order to feel more feline.

(YouTube Link)

Nano seems like a kitty trapped in a human body, but does she use a human sized litter box, or is she one of those fancy "toilet trained" kitties?

Images From That Magical World Known As Japan

(Image Link)

Japanese weirdness is like a visual drug for otakus, weeaboos and japanophiles who love to eat it all up one crazy colored image at a time, while everybody else either gets a kick out of the Japanese sense of strange or finds it mildly disturbing.

(Image Link)

But BuzzFeed's 29 Pictures That Prove Japan Is The Most WTF Country On Earth is a fun feast for every eyeball...as long as you can get past the (NSFW) pink "parade float" at the top of the post.

(Image Link)

Venture forth and you'll be treated to sumo wrestlers holding crying babies, dinosaur receptionists, women wearing cicadas like fashion accessories, and this real life superhero who helps moms carry their strollers down the stairs.

BB-8 is Donkey

Every cinema hero must have a sidekick. In The Force Awakens, Ren met BB-8 early in the film, and he became her loyal assistant. Marylet Datuin (Thyoungwolf) noticed the resemblance between that scene with one in another movie, and decided that the only way to improve BB-8 would be to give him Eddie Murphy’s voice. I cannot embed the video, so you’ll have to go to No Rest for the Wicked to see, but you’ll be glad you did. -via Digg

A Japanese Guy Recounts American History In Early Animated Short By Trey Parker

The hit series South Park came from humble beginnings, growing out of an animated short by Trey Parker and Matt Stone called "The Spirit Of Christmas",which was shown at indie film festivals like Spike & Mike's Festival Of Animation.

But Trey had already created another construction paper short before "The Spirit Of Christmas" called "American History", which was written and narrated by Parker's college roommate Junichi Nishimura.

(YouTube Link)

The sound is pretty jacked up which makes it hard to understand Junichi at times, but if you want to make it even more difficult turn on the captions!

Tinder Users Who Were Extremely Candid With Their Dating Profile

(Via Reddit)

Many people on dating sites like Tinder tell lies to help them hook up, and it's so common nowadays that everyone assumes our dating profiles are as padded as our resumés.

But those who like to keep it real don't mind letting a potential match take a peek behind the curtain and see who they really are, even if that means they get left swiped more often.

(Via Reddit)

Insecure daters could learn a thing or two about how to live fierce and fearless from these brave Tinder users, and their profiles are a refreshing change of pace from the usual pack of lies.

If you're totally conceited then be up front about it, that way your dates will know what they're getting themselves in to before they come face-to-face with royalty.

Guy Falls Asleep At Work, Internet Sends Him On Photoshop Adventures

(Image Link)

It's not uncommon for people to fall asleep at work, but most of the time they go and grab a cup of coffee or tea and take a walk to wake up, getting away with passing out while on the clock.

But bad employees like TheOrangeDuke (aka sleeping beauty in the image above) don't care about getting caught, and they'll sleep for hours at their desk even if it's only their second day at work.

When his fellow employees found TheOrangeDuke crashed out at his desk they took the logical next step- they submitted his photo to Reddit for a hard day's work in a Photoshop Battle.

His fellow employees were clearly sympathetic about his lack of sleep, and even though they poked fun at TheOrangeDuke they secretly wished they were snoozing too.

But then things turned ugly when TheOrangeDuke's boss showed up in his dreams, threatening to slash his wages and make his employed life a living nightmare if he didn't wake the hell up!

Don't you hate it when you discover to your horror that you've accidentally dressed like an inanimate object?

It's even worse when your mean students call you out on your objectifying fashion sense, posting side-by-side comparison pics online for all to see.

There 's something to be said for wearing clothes that appeal to a person's love of color, texture or pattern, but when the combination immediately makes them think of a tacky carpet you're doing fashion wrong.
