Even as we heard from our sources that this game was going to be a crossover, the mere fact of such a game being created even questioned the validity of our tried and trusted informants.

As previous years, the idea for this year didn't really come the day or two before. This time my idea came to me in the early morning of March 31st, giving me one day to put it together. And I had a lot of work ahead of me... The idea was to stage a leaked video of a prototype Mortal Kombat game for the iPhone and iPod Touch platform. I figured it's name could be Mortal Kombat: Touch.

It appears that Ed Boon is leaving Midway after over 20 years, to live out his life long dream of becoming a chef. Ed made a few updates to noob.com over night. First off there is an new series of numbers that decode to TOUCH, which is interesting in it's own right (but more on that later today).
