Confession: Long before I was going steady with Tali from Mass Effect, I kind of had a crush on another video game character. Young D was in love, with Tanya from Mortal Kombat 4. It’s not hard to see why. With hormones rushing through my body like blood from a fatality, playing as an Edenian that was dressed up like a safety demonstration at a strip club resulted in me adoring the character. Times changed though, and while my romantic tastes are now…different, I’m still fond of Tanya. A character who’ll be kicking ass once again in Mortal Kombat X.
If you’re wondering what Tanya’s other fatality looks like, here’s a rather large GIF version of it captured from a recent stream. As usual, a new kharacter in Mortal Kombat X means a touch more rebalancing in the game. Here’s the latest patch notes from Mortal Kombat X:

- Takeda (Lasher) – Low Slash is now -19 on block (down from -24)
- Takeda (Lasher) – Whip Trip / Flip is now -11 on block (down from -21)
And don’t forget! This weekend, it’s Team D from Lazygamer versus Team DK from SA Gamer. As much as I respect my opponent Dave Kozlowski, I do intend to make orphans of his future children. Because I imagine that I’ll beat him so soundly this Saturday, that his future wife will die from sheer shock sometime in the future.
BELIEVE IN TEAM D!

Those eyes! They finally unmask Scorpion and he’s actually a woman called Tanya? O_o

Actually, I was thinking they’d probably make a great couple… Both have a fondness for yellow / orange clothing, both enjoy re-arranging their opponent’s insides and both have lovely ‘night-glow’ eyes. I’m sure they’d get along famously. o_O

Possibly… Perhaps mortal food just doesn’t quite sit right with them.

There’s a D and Tali joke in here somewhere… I’ll leave our resident Blood Emperor to bring it up. 😉 🙂

I saw that, I suspect it’s some form of bait. Not biting!
