Ed Boon, the co-creator of classic 90s fighting game "Mortal Kombat," confirmed a new version of the video game will launch in 2015.
Boon revealed the new game, called "Mortal Kombat X," on Monday via Twitter, and soon after a trailer was added to the Mortal Kombat Facebook page. The trailer, featuring a duel between the series' most recognizable stars Scorpion and Sub-Zero, has received more than 97,000 likes in less than 24 hours.
"Mortal Kombat X" will make its first public appearance at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2014 in Los Angeles (June 10-12).
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Available on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and PS3 systems, the game can be pre-ordered via Amazon, Best Buy, Game Stop, New Egg, Target and Walmart stores for release on June 30, 2015.
"'Mortal Kombat' has always been about over-the-top, visceral fighting and with Mortal Kombat X we wanted to utilize the power of new-gen consoles to give players our most intense game yet," said Boon, game developer NetherRealm's creative director, in a statement. "The team has worked hard to make sure 'Mortal Kombat X' delivers everything fans expect along with new characters, new game modes and an all-new graphics engine."
NetherRealm rebooted the "Mortal Kombat" franchise in 2011.

Poll: Feds should back off when states legalize pot
Americans are divided over whether marijuana should be decriminalized — 50% say no, 48% say yes — but they overwhelmingly agree on this: When states vote to legalize pot, the feds should look the other way.
In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, those surveyed say by almost 2-1, 63%-34%, that the federal government shouldn't take steps to enforce federal marijuana laws in states that legalize pot.
MORE:Smokers celebrate as Washington state legalizes marijuana
HEALTH EFFECTS:What are marijuana's side effects?
The question took on some urgency Thursday as Washington became the first state to decriminalize the possession of marijuana for recreational purposes. Just after midnight, hundreds of celebrants lit joints at the base of Seattle's Space Needle.
A similar law is scheduled to take effect January in Colorado, where voters last month also approved a ballot measure legalizing the manufacture, distribution and possession of up to an ounce of marijuana by adults 21 and older.
That puts both states in conflict with federal law, which lists pot in the same Schedule 1 category as heroin and LSD. "The department's responsibility to enforce the Controlled Substances Act remains unchanged," the U.S. Attorney's office in Seattle said in a written statement. "Neither states nor the executive branch can nullify a statute passed by Congress."
Still unclear is precisely how, and how aggressively, federal law enforcement officials plan to proceed.
The poll finds no national groundswell to decriminalize marijuana. Support for legalization has risen dramatically since 1969, when Gallup found Americans opposed the idea by 84%-12%. But levels of support actually have dipped a tad from last year, when 50% supported legalization and 46% opposed it.
The age group most in favor of the feds, well, chilling out, aren't young people but those 50 to 64 years old, members of the Baby Boom generation. Seventy percent say the feds should look the other way, as do 69% of those under 30. Among those between 30 and 49 and seniors 65 and older, 61% oppose enforcement.
The poll of 1,015 Americans, taken Nov. 26-29, has a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points.

The 2013 ING Marathon and half-marathon — the huge community event that brings 25,000 runners across the Belle Isle and the Venetian Causeway — returns in one week, on Sunday, Jan. 27.
Ask the runners, and most will tell you that the Venetian Causeway crossing is the most beautiful stretch of the race.
The organizers delivered marathon hangers to Venetian Isle homeowners earlier this week, to make sure we're prepared for the Sunday morning traffic disruptions and know when to get out and cheer. Later this week, we'll see portable toilets and other necessities moved into place.
The marathon brings money and visitors to the community, and the group that runs it works hard to ensure it isn't too disruptive on Sunday morning. Event manager Whitney Murphy promises all you'll hear are the footfalls of runners, and our islands will be cleaned up by afternoon.
Here's some Belle Isle Blog advice on how to make the best of the event:
– Get out and cheer the runners. The race starts at 6:05 a.m. for wheelchair competitors and 6:15 a.m. for runners. We'll see the leaders pass Belle Isle (mile 8) around 6:30 a.m., and we'll see people who have trained for months crossing until 9:30 or 10 a.m. They range from elite athletes to average folks who committed to goal and are on their way to achieving it. Make signs to motivate the runners. Your enthusiasm will help lift them to success.
– Plan your morning around the race. From about 5 a.m. to 10 a.m., you'll only be able to go east on Venetian Way by car, and quite slowly. If you want to go to breakfast, you might want to walk. That way, you can cheer the runners as you go along. IF you HAVE to go to the mainland in the morning, plan to ease your way east on Venetian Way, then south on West Avenue, and east on the MacArthur Causeway, where westbound lanes will be open.
There are several key water stations on the Venetian Causeway leg of the route, one on Belle Isle (mile 8), San Marco Island (mile 9) and Biscayne Island (Mile 10)
Enjoy the race . Belle Isle Blog will be taking photos of the runners from our island, and promises to post them on the site as early as possible Sunday morning. Here's a look at last year's coverage.

The UK's Daily Mail manages to embrace the oldest tenets of English journalism and update them for the new digital world, which is to say they just make stuff up. Here's a story about Salma Hayek and her billionaire husband's "$150,000" Ford Mustang that's not a Mustang at all.
It's not just that the DM confused a Ford GT with a Ford Mustang GT500, which is a mistake perhaps a blind person could make if told they're writing about a fast Ford with racing stripes. It's that they're constantly wrong about anything to do with cars.

[media-credit name="ABC" align="alignright" width="270″][/media-credit]
The producers of "Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition" will hold an open casting call Saturday, April 13, in Denver's North Field shopping area (near Stapleton). The call is 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill. Denver is one of 13 cities producers Eyeworks USA will visit in the combo promotional stint/casting call for season 4. (It's not least a promo for Toby Keith's restaurant chain, which is hosting "casting calls" in multiple cities. Think about it: What do these folks eat after standing in line for a casting call? If you owned a restaurant chain, would you want to be associated with this concept?)
Season 3 begins May 28 on ABC. Would-be contenders are asked to bring a non-returnable photo and check the requirements online.

Spaces for the Junk-in-the-Trunk program are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis with registration taking place at Gate 3 beginning at 7 a.m. Certain rules and restrictions apply.
Second on the ledger, but first among the specialty shows, is Performance & Style. Running May 14-15, P&S is more than a car show; it's a motorsports and lifestyle festival. P&S boasts some of the hottest, loudest, fastest and most tricked-out cars, trucks and SUVs on the east coast. You'll find over 1,500 custom compacts, tuners, modern muscle cars, VIP sedans, SUVs, mini-trucks and more. With stunt shows, live music, competitions and special guests all event long, this is a true festival atmosphere.
As the P&S cars depart Carlisle, the foreign flavor remains with the Import & Kit Nationals, May 20-22. Multiple countries will be represented during this year's show and attendees can take part in the first-ever passport contest. Around the World in 80 Acres allows show-goers a forum to get their passport booklets stamped in an effort to win prizes and interact with exhibitors and like-minded enthusiasts. Further, international food will be served in conjunction with the countries represented. Kit cars will also be featured, including the Dune Buggy. Back for this year is Bruce Meyers, Father of the Modern Day Dune Buggy. Bruce will be conducting seminars and signing autographs all weekend.
The Carlisle Ford Nationals opens up the month of June. The 15th anniversary of this show, held June 3-5 features a burnout competition, drag racing, parade of up to 400 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury automobiles as well as a shopping experience you won't soon forget. More than 2,200 vehicles will be on hand as part of the National Parts Depot show field. The show will also feature an enormous swap meet, car corral and the Manufacturers Midway for the best in parts buying.
Motor heads usher in the summer season with the GM Nationals, June 24-26. This year's show will feature the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow and its regional qualifier. The Hot Rodders of Tomorrow is a high school level engine build competition. Students compete for time and accuracy. Winners of each regional qualifier plus two non- winning fast times will compete in the finals at the SEMA show in Las Vegas in November. Also appearing this year is J.D., Criss Angel's brother and co-star of MINDFREAK on A&E. J.D. will be showing GM's from his personal collection that are currently undergoing 100% body-off, complete nut-and-bolt restoration. In addition, there will be a competition to see who has the largest car club, a swap meet and car corral and so much more.
The Chrysler Nationals begins the back half of the annual schedule, running July 8-10. In a celebration of "everything Mopar," you can show your Mopar, Jeep, and AMC while checking out numerous car clubs and a Classics to Concepts display in Building T. Scheduled to appear is former Dukes of Hazzard star John Schneider. Schneider's appearance is made possible by the Christine Car Club and will feature at least one authentic General Lee. In addition to Schneider, guests include Kevin Tetz, television personality and automotive how-to expert.
Four wheels give way to two as Bike Fest rolls onto the fairgrounds, July 22-24. From judged bike shows to a Rat Rod Revival, live music and a cruise-in, Bike Fest has something for everyone. Attendees can also take part in demo rides, meet Susan Parker, the 2009 New England ATV MX Women's Champion, check out the StarBoyz, a stunt bike riding team who have appeared on the Travel Channel, and watch Biker Billy entertain and cook his unique style of fare.
With just three events remaining, the Truck Nationals is up next, August 5-7. Along with the burnout competition, swap meet, truck corral and special guests, there will be a monster truck show and rides. You can also experience a one-of-a-kind wheelie ride through the Xtreme Wheelie Ride-MD Team. Kevin Tetz will once again be on the grounds, hosting live how-to seminars as well as meet-and-greets with fans and enthusiasts. Also in attendance will be Brian Fisher of Fisher's ATV World on the Outdoor Channel. Brian will be showcasing some of the latest ATV products as he brings his crew to Carlisle. It will truly be fun for the entire family.
The next to last event is the third longest running of all shows, Corvettes at Carlisle, August 26-28. This year, Chip's Choice will feature Barn Finds. Witness one of the most recognizable automotive brands in a somewhat unrecognizable state. Check out the cars that have literally been dragged out of a barn and hear the stories behind the find. You can also turn your parts and related merchandise into cash at the swap meet. With a crowd that's more than 50,000 strong, the swap meet is the perfect outlet to buy, sell or trade cars, car parts, accessories and so much more. Along with the swap meet, you could be part of Chip's Choice. If you own a Corvette that was found in a barn, restored or not, we'd love for you to be a part of the 2011 edition of Chip's Choice.

Any acquisition of frontage along the Connecticut River is highly valued for its premium location and natural heritage significance. Eagle Landing State Park is no exception.
Like much of the Connecticut Rivers floodplain, the Eagle Landing area was historically used for agriculture from well before the last century up through the 1960s. Since then, its use as home port for a cruise line brought building construction and surface parking. In its heyday, the line offered scenic trips through the lower Connecticut River Valley and across the Sound to Long Island.
But the greater story is the visitation and repopulation of the Valley by Bald Eagles. Todays combination of riverine land preservation which provides suitable habitat, and the significant decrease in pesticide based food contamination has enabled the eagle population to rebound from a near total absence in the state in the 1950s to todays winter sightings that number in the dozens.
There is little that compares to the sight of a bald eagle in the wild. Cold weather to the north forces eagles to the lower Connecticut and the months of January and February are the principle times to see them. In addition, the neighborhood is conducive to their presence. Just a few thousand feet downstream from Eagle Landing is the Nature Conservancys 255 acre Chapman Pond Preserve where eagles are known to visit regularly. And it isnt just bald eagles that can be sighted. Much more rare, but having been observed recently, is the occurrence of golden eagles along the lower Connecticut River. Bring your field glasses or spotting scope but remember to not disturb any eagles you see and observe them from a distance
Today: In the early 2000s, the work to acquire the pieces that make up todays 16 acre park began. Cruise lines operate from Eagle Landing: River Quests Connecticut River Expeditions, in conjunction with the CT Valley Steam Train located in Essex, and the Lady Katherine which offers a variety of summer cruises and winter eagle cruises departing from the parks waterfront.
Benches, walkways and docks provide the year-round visitor with a respite from lifes stresses. Whether watching the boats in summer or hoping for a glimpse of our national symbol in the winter months, Eagle Landing is an easy visit year-round.

One thing I forgot to mention is that there's actually networked/modem multi-player support. I've never used it before so I don't know how well it works.
ADDiCT wrote:Nice and interesting episode (as usual (; ). Strangely enough, I've hated the game when it came out. I think the last fighting games I've really enjoyed were International Karate and IK+ on the C64. Looks like I'm not cut out for learning complicated combos. And to be frank, I think the robot designs in OMF2097 look a bit silly. Anyway, I'd never have realized how many features the game has without watching this episode.

December 28, 2016
One of my highlights of 2016 was having the opportunity to collaborate with another hula hoop warrior – actually, one of the very first hula hoopers I ever met, years ago – the amazing Grace Billings.
Within one month of long distance rehearsals, we created a powerful LED hoop duo for a run of Christmas shows at Bloomsbury Big Top, London, as part of 'Cirque Extraordinaire'.
Teardrop is a highly-skilled, sophisticated and sassy performance that combines dance and hula hooping with the latest, cutting-edge LED technology. Custom illuminating colours, patterns and graphics are delivered on stage in conjunction with seamless movements and choreography, to create an unforgettable, multi-dimensional visual experience.

The new Hoops In Motion
July 23, 2016
Like an ever spinning wheel, life sets us a challenge when we least expect it, to test our courage and willingness to change…
'Hoops In Motion' is a wonderfully exciting journey, a piece of circus and visual arts, originally commissioned by John Bishop and further developed by Cirque Bijou and with support from the National Centre for Circus Arts.
Film by Thomas Johansson (thomas-johansson.com/)
Infinite gratitude to Julian Bracey, Howie Bailey and everyone at Cirque Bijou for trusting me with such a wonderful opportunity.
What are your taboos?
This spring I literally threw myself into a wonderfully mad journey of self discovery with the world-renowned Gandini Juggling.
If you don't know them yet, the Gandini's are a company of ridiculously talented object manipulators, whose work has been reinventing and reinvigorating juggling over the past 20 years, whilst challenging people's perceptions of contemporary circus all over the world.
I joined them for a 5-day, French run of 'Cløwns & Queens', a beautifully brave and visceral show that comes with balls, plush penises, exchanges of bodily fluids and horizontal juggling.
'Full of sex, but never sexy', the show depicts a mad court full of queens and clowns, engaged in a 'constantly shifting dance of desire'. With echoes of Stanley Kubrick, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Federico Fellini,'Cløwns & Queens' explores the nature of lust and imbalanced power relationships in a brave cross over between circus, dance and performance art.
For me personally, this was an incredible opportunity to explore some of my own taboos, both as an individual and a performer. The risk of juggling on stage for the first time ever in my career, after only a few rehearsals with the company and the specific task of hula hooping without the shield of technical tricks were emotionally charged challenges that stripped me down to my most vulnerable… let alone the actual naked scene on the cold, white lit up tables.
The risk paid off. When life offers you the opportunity to manifest your feelings through work and by doing that, learn about yourself, that's when the most exciting adventures are bound to happen.
Immense gratitude and big respect to Sean Gandini and Kati Ylä-Hokkala, Artistic Directors of Gandini Juggling, all the performers in the company and Le Maillon Theatre de Strasbourg , for adopting me onto this crazy journey.

Premiering as a work in progress performance at the Roundhouse in Spring 2016, Pop Circus will bring together a creative team from across the worlds of theatre, dance, music, fashion and circus – a new collaboration aiming to create a new kind of British performance, that is thrilling and glamorous but also anarchic and subversive.

Black Out Days – LED hula hoop act
October 14, 2015
A revamped version of my 'Black Out Days' LED hula hoop act, performed with latest technology smart LED hula hoops at Jackson's Lane Theatre, London, 2015.

When she transformed into a butterfly, the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty but of her weirdness.
They wanted her to change back into what she always had been…
But she had wings.
Photographs by Simon Yin. Big thanks to Chenghao Liu and Jacksons Lane Theatre, London.
The hoops in these images are LED smart hoops by SpinFX. I can program them to change colours and patterns to any chosen music, which allows for endless possibilities to create bespoke acts and fit with specific requirements and special events. You can see more photos here.
I have always had a great interest in animation and mixed media, so when Cirque Bijou offered me to collaborate on a bespoke piece that mixed my hoops with Howie Bailey's visual graphics, I dived right into it.
The piece was commissioned as an intro to the John Bishop Show on BBC1, which made the whole project even more exciting.. and slightly nerve-racking.
We knew it was going to be hardcore and risky – we only had a few days to research and develop ideas and then put it all together into a live show for prime television.
Yet, despite the time and space constraints, we just went for it wholeheartedly, feeding off each other's passion and inspiring each other through laughter and relatively appropriate doses of OCD.
The result was a wonderful work of circus and visual arts that I hope will lead to more opportunities for exploration and collaboration.
Massive thanks to Julian Bracey, director of Cirque Bijou, and Howie Bailey for being absolute legends. True gratitude and respect also for John Bishop and his crew and the BBC.
Now rock on!
More lovely photos on my Flickr.
Silvia hula hoops on 'Blue Peter' – BBC
July 10, 2015
I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or through word of mouth, but just before my multi-media performance on the John Bishop Show was released on the BBC, I was invited to hula hoop live on the Blue Peter show…
It was so last minute, everything literally happened within a few hours, and that included running from London to Manchester to live TV, whilst beating a tube strike, in true ninja style… BOOM, HOOP, BANG!
You bet I got a Blue Peter badge for that!
Many thanks to everyone at the BBC Bridge House Manchester, it was great fun!
'Atma' for SmashFestUK, the Albany, London 2015
February 13, 2015
Just as 2015 kicked in, I had the immense pleasure to work with top gentleman juggler Mat Ricardo and perform 'Atma' in his End of the world cabaret at the Albany, London.
It was an 'Apocalypse now' sort of show, where the only thing left to do before the asteroid hit the earth, was to steep oneself in amazing acts of gravity-defying dexterity, laugh and be entertained by some of the greatest variety acts in London.
Did we get hit? Are we still alive now? One thing is for sure, I am still spinning like Saturn.

President Barack Obama arrived in Southern California Monday evening on a two-day fundraising swing that includes a stop at the home of basketball great and Dodgers co-owner Earvin "Magic" Johnson and a visit to the DreamWorks Animation facility for a speech on the economy.
Traffic Advisories: Street Closures
The trip is Obama's 16th to Los Angeles since he took office. He began Monday in Seattle before stopping in San Francisco for a fundraiser and speech in support of immigration overhaul, which was interrupted by an audience member who shouted, "Stop deportation. Yes we can."
The LA fundraisers Monday for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and Democratic Senate Campaign Committee will be at the homes of NBA Hall of Fame player Johnson and Saban Capital Group Chairman Haim Saban, according to the website politicalpartytime.org, which tracks political fundraisers across the country.
A coalition of environmental and progressive groups plan to conduct a rally and march in Beverly Hills against the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a regional trade agreement, in connection with Monday's fundraisers. Opponents of the partnership claim it will undermine state, local and federal laws, including those governing food safety, environmental protections, Internet freedom, workers rights, health care, drug prices and banking and finance regulations.
Read: President on Immigration Overhaul
The Obama administration says the partnership will boost economic growth by increasing American exports, support the creation and retention of American jobs and promote innovation. The partnership consists of the United States, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Vietnam and Singapore.
On Tuesday, Obama is scheduled to conduct a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee at the Hancock Park home of Marta Kauffman, a co- creator of the 1994-2004 NBC comedy "Friends," politicalpartytime.org reported.
Obama is also scheduled Tuesday to speak at DreamWorks Animation, which is headed by Jeffrey Katzenberg, a longtime Obama supporter. Obama, during his most recent trip to Southern California, had a private dinner with Katzenberg in August.
U.S. & World
The Los Angeles Police Department issued traffic advisories for streets near LAX and roads in Glendale and on the Westside. The most significant traffic problem to occur during one of President Obama's LA visits was in August 2010 when motorists in the Hancock Park area reported waiting in traffic for hours because streets were blocked.
