Episode #9 of <b>MKast</b> has finally been posted over at <a href="http://WorldsCollide.com">Worlds Collide</a> and on <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=294369354">iTunes</a>. <a href="http://worldscollide.com/downloads/mkast/MKast_Ep09.mp3">This new episode</a> features special guests MK Creative Director <b>Ed Boon</b> and Senior Designer <b>Paulo Garcia</b>. This episode was created just after the game's release and their initial reaction to the players getting their hands on the game. They also reveal some <b>Fatalities</b> and <b>Pro Moves</b>, which due to the late release of the podcast are <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mortal_kombat_vs_dc_universe/moves">already known</a>. Lots of topics are discussed from past to future games.
What I really enjoyed was Ed talking about the past and how <b>Fatalities</b> all had to be discovered in the arcades. He wouldn't tell people how to do them, and always be amazed when he saw someone do them. He mentioned how he first saw someone do <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mk2/moves/131/Shang%20Tsung/">Shang Tsung's Kintaro Morph Fatality</a> from <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mk2/">Mortal Kombat 2</a> at the now closed <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/katherineofchicago/2406667846/">Dennis' Place For Games</a>. These are the days that I miss, of the community having to actually discover each fatality one at a time. I remember going to the arcades each day to see what else has been discovered, or even rushing to the arcades after reading about a new discovery on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USENET">Usenet</a>. Brings back some great memories.

We're not sure what that means, but it'll be interesting to see what they have up their sleeves. Ed <a href="http://www.trmk.org/news/12298/oxm_interviews_ed_boon.html">had mentioned before</a> that development has already begun in some form. Since the engine is already in place, I'm sure it wont be too long until we know more about the next Mortal Kombat game. I just hope it doesn't have a "Attack Dog" feature like <b>Call of Duty: World at War</b> does!
