Today's <a href="http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/4/20/">Penny Arcade Comic</a> features <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mortal_kombat_9/">Mortal Kombat</a>. In the comic they recreate the moment we all have been before, when we forget the Fatality movements just as we finally defeat our opponent.

Tycho of Penny Arcade also had things to say about the game in <a href="http://www.penny-arcade.com/2011/4/20/">today's related News Post</a>. Here's a snippet describing the idea behind the comic:
Has anyone else found themselves embarrassed by forgetting the finishing moves? I know I did this exact thing a few times over the past week. If you don't mind a REALLY negative crowd reaction you can always hit the pause button to look up the Finishing Moves at the end of the match.

Being able to perform a Fatality (or, indeed, any -ality) was akin to Alchemy in the arcades and pizza parlors of my youth, I've never really been able to muster it; the new one lets you go right into the menu and look at the commands, with your eyes, which communicate the needed inputs to your brain, and I am still unable to do so.
