The premise of this video is simple: Mortal Kombat enthusiasts put on a great deal of expensive makeup (some more than others, judging by the Liu Kang), and really go all out to make themselves look like their straight out of the live-action movie.
It comes across as something of a caravan rave party, totaling nearly 9 minutes of Mortal Kombat-goodness, with the best part of all the somewhat lackluster reactions he gets from people (especially the Money Exchange clerk, who observes briefly before turning back to his computer).
Starbucks patrons and baristas, taxi drivers, along with the normal passers-by can count themselves amongst the victims.
The video has its moments, though you can’t help but wish they could have gotten some close up reactions (out-of-focus smiling bystanders notwithstanding). Still, few can withstand the sub-par dance moves of Sub-Zero, even if they seem impervious to his sense of humor. It didn’t help that mannequins were part of the crowd.
Pretty effing funny.

Logan Huffman wants to know who is posting comments about him online and asks Jace for help. Meanwhile Joe Flanigan is caught again flirting in the V costume. Jace heads to the set of Law and Order: SVU to catch up with Ice – T and Coco and the Starcraft II team gets “rushed” by World of Warcraft Lead Designer, Jeff Kaplan.
Jace has decided to take advantage of his co-hosting duties at the Sony Online Entertainment Fan Faire celebration, by showing his new music video to the thousands of EverQuest players in attendance, much to the dismay of the crowd. That didn’t stop one enthusiastic guest from doing something radical.
