Between this and the article gushing over Paidia, I’m starting to get the feeling I’m shooting myself in the foot with a BFG by not choosing topics that let me shill for Go2Games more naturally, but hey ho, I like a challenge!

New Zealand and multiple other countries have been taking part in Single’s Day, a November 11th celebration serving as a sort of corporate clap-back to how commercialized Valentine’s Day is, which… Doesn’t that feel a little poor-taste? Just an eensy-weensy teeny-tiny widdle bit? That’d be like if Gavin McInnes dismantled the Proud Boys, like, it’s sweet you did that, but it’s basically solving a problem that you started, so-

Origins: Single’s Day started in China circa 2009, the non-moon-based logic behind choosing November 11th is because single, one, all ones, the loneliest number you can ever do, you get the idea. Though two can be as bad as one, so can’t complain too much.

In celebration of Single’s Day, The Market is reducing it’s prices by 11% accordingly for today. The catch is you can only get the discount if you’re a Market Club member, which is free to sign up for. Then use code 11ELEVEN at checkout, Bob’s your Uncle.

An Open Letter On The Go2Games Single’s Day Experience:

Are we doing a single’s day sale? Did we consider this would end up being a thing? Did we consider in advance that this would probably be a good thing to capitalise on!?  Definitely not, but just look at it this way (and I’m channeling my best impression of The Bourgeois Elite for this one): We at Go2Games highly value equality for all. Dare I say, we YEARN for true equality. So if you want a gaming and tech shopping experience that treats it’s customers to the same prices without inflicting the despair-filled mourning period one experiences after discovering their lateness for a sale, you come right on over to us! For you see! We, the salesmen, saleswomen and salesnonbinaries know that you should in fact NOT purchase a product when on sale, because it is only fair that those participating in The Free Market TM pay their way to ensure that said money from a full-price purchase goes towards supporting employees everywhere. FOR YOU SEE! You, dear reader, are a strong independent money-owner who don’t need no discount! … Except when we do discounts, then it’s fine, obviously!

So, while I have your attention with my maxed-out charisma stat, let’s look at some Go2Games items that could help make your single’s day better. And no rush to purchase, because the prices today will be the same as tomorrow!

Catherine: Full Body (£17.99): Now I know what you’re thinking. “A game about a bloke deciding whether he wants to cheat on his girlfriend or stay with her and fix things? That’s not very pro-singlehood of me”. To that I say “you are absolutely right, but Persona 5 and Royal sold out, so get ready to learn about booze trivia from successfully completing puzzle-platformer segments… for… Some reason”.

The Bioshock Collection (£21.50): Because what’s better than one game seeing you explore a dystopian civilization with thematic depth, plot twists and making things go shooty-bang-bang? Well, 2 of those! Also including DLC.

The Mortal Kombat X and Scorpion’s Revenge Double-Pack (£27.99): Because what says “strong independent man/woman/nonbinary folk” like eviscerating your opponent in single “Kombat”? RHETORICAL QUESTION!

Dead Cells: The Prisoner’s Edition (£112.99): Because I’ve been watching Dead Pixels on Netflix lately and it is hilarious. As good a reason to shill as any! This edition includes extra merch and DLC!

Mortal Kombat X

Friday the 13th’s Jason Voorhees arrives on the game next month!

Calling all horror fans! The crazed, masked killer will be slicing and dicing his way on to Mortal Kombat X next month, as a playable fighter. However, NetherRealm did not reveal any game-play or special moves from the killer, but only the date, which is 5th May. 

Through the game’s $30 Kombat Pack, Jason is the first of four DLC characters. All are able to try the four characters for FREE, but a price will need to be paid to have them as permanent members in the game. Tremor, Tanya and Predator are the remaining three characters which will become available in time.

WATCH

Mortal Kombat X’s launch trailer is now available to watch, and uses System of a Down’s ‘Chop Suey’!

Yesterday saw the release of Mortal Kombat X’s launch trailer, from NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. What’s more, for all you System of a Down fans out there, the video was directed by the band’s very own Shavo Odadjian and features the classic song ‘Chop Suey’.

This trailer is one of those which you MUST watch to the end (due to a particularly gruesome fatality) and sees the comeback of many a character, as well as new ones. 

Don’t forget that the release date for the game is next Tuesday 14th April 2015, and will be available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, however, have currently been delayed. You can watch the launch trailer HERE!

PLEASE NOTE that this trailer is age sensitive and has been rated Mature 17+

Mortal Kombat X

The fatalities in this game sound like goo, apparently?!

Mortal Kombat X has some horrifying fatalities, I think we can all agree there, but the sound effects behind them seem to be just as grizzly! NetherRealm, the developer of the game, held a LIVE broadcast which was aptly named “Kombatcast”. This broadcast shed light on some new information about the game, as well as a look behind the scenes of the much anticipated fighting game.

In the video, which you can watch below, you can see exactly what went into the foley work (the process of recording sound effects). NetherRealm appear to be using green goo and a toilet plunger in the video, to aid those grim fatality scenes. Other sound effects include destroying nuts and vegetables with a hammer. These guys clearly know no bounds!

NetherRealm also discusses how it created the game’s music and other improvements it’s introducing to Mortal Kombat X, so the video is definitely worth watching if you’re a fan of the series. If you’re an avid fan of the series then this video is definitely something you should watch… Or just if  you’re a fan of smashing food with hammers and messing about with slime!

The game is set to release on 14th April 2015 for the PS4, Xbox One and PC, and you can watch the sound effects video HERE.
