This episode of Retrinauts is brought to you by a notion.

This week in Retrinauts, what are you doing next?

I'm gonna go to Outworld!

Good evening everybody! Welcome back to Retrinauts and welcome to this very exciting, very dangerous episode about Mortal Kombat.

But not the first Mortal Kombat because we did that. That was back in episode 447. That was an eternity ago.

An eternity ago? Hey! There's a reference for those combat fans out there.

I absolutely don't get it at all.

That's it. You're referring to Edenia. I think Eternia is that Master of the Universe?

Oh my god! There it is! What a way to make a joke that you may be corrected. That's perfect.

Anyway, my name is Diamond Fight. I know nothing about Mortal Kombat. Clearly I'm just here for the clicks.

But I've got two guests here. Two expert guests. We're gonna figure this out.

Let's go first to the UK and our Returring correspondent.

Hello, I'm the beloved Stuart Jett. My favorite Mortal Kombat character is Man-E-Faces.

Thank you Stuart. And our other guest, I think is in the United States?

Yes, that's correct. North East Ohio, the mecca of Mortal Kombat, but not really.

I am David O'Cratock. I am the author of the Long Live Mortal Kombat series and it has lived long.

It's been a little over 30 years as of October 2022 and I'm writing about the history of all the games.

That is great. I'm just gonna pitch him with that. It's really really good.

Yes. Thank you. Thank you.

I think I was the kickstarter and I was loving it. It's great.

We talked about it in the first episode as well. The Mortal Kombat one episode. Sorry, I'm not taking this over. You get over to your timing.

That's right. What you said was completely true. There was Kickstarter for his book.
