It seems like they're on every bus in the city. I see them everyday when I go to school. I've seen a few billboards here and there too.

Yup, just like that Mortal Kombat billboard on Diversey and Western. Hope the marketing blitz is worth it -- and that the game deserves it, too.

Late notice I know but I found this...

This weekend the Mortal Kombat Truck Tour wraps up with a four day stint at the home of Mortal Kombat, Chicago! The first two events are in the early afternoon at the Burbank Town Center in Burbank, IL. Monday night's truck tour event is actually connected with GameStop's Midnight Release of Mortal Kombat at the Brickyard GameStop store.

4/16 & 4/17 - Best Buy #311 (11am - 4pm)
7600 S. Cicero Ave
Burbank Town Center
Burbank, IL 60459

4/18 - GameStop Birckyard store #2865 (8pm - 1am)
4/19 - GameStop Birckyard store #2865 (4pm - 9pm)
6451 W. Diversey Ave #G-9
Chicago, IL 60707

I might around 9 or 10pm go check out the tour bus at the brickyard gamestop today even though I have my preorder at amazon.

Apparently Ed Boone is at the Brickyard GameStop right now if any of you are interested.

Kinda wish I had gone now, but still glad I watched the Bulls game instead. Met Boon back in the day at the former Diversions arcade by Lincoln Villiage during the pre-release phase of MK4. They had a "beta" arcade, so to speak, because it had only a few characters in it before the game launched in arcades nationwide. He used to come out every week or two with a new board to install, adding new characters and backgrounds gradually. Good times.

Got to meet Ed Boon and other developers of the game at the gamestop. Overall the place was pack inside the store and at the tour bus. Ed was surprise that I handed him the DC vs MK steelbook to sign he didn't know what kind of case it was and I told him I had to get the version with the joker fatality intact and he was, heck yeah!

Is there any Best Buy around Chicago with Final Fantasy IV The Complete Collection. I haven't found it at the two best buys I went to. Here in the South Burbs.

Did you get to chat it up with Boon or did they rush everyone through the line?

I chatted abit with him propably a minute. I didn't want to be a jerk to the others behind me. I got the steelbook and mk shirt signed and a pic with him.

Do we need an original sheet or can we print it out and it being useable?

Probably just print it out. They have links to the coupons on the Six Corners site. Also, I found a set of 2 Hawks 2010 Stanley Cup Champion pint glasses on clearance at Jewel for $6.29. Was looking for the plastic tumbler with lid and straw, but they must have moved them (or sold them) to make room for all the Easter candy.

Thinking about another meet-up at the Galloping Ghost soon...

I'm down for another meet up especially since I'm having an arcade itch to play some classics.

Anyone interested on having a Chicago mortal kombat koth on the ps3?

If you want to get into Steam this computer will play anything on there.

I'm looking for Cash only (otherwise my wife may kill me), and would be more than willing to let you try it out before you buy. PM me if you are interested. This thing still does great for me at 1080p, but I've got that upgrade fever.

Looking for $375 with the 9800 GT, or $450 with the 275 GTX.

I'm in on the meetup, as I need to be a regular at the arcade now, cause I'm entering their fighting game ranking system this weekend. If I can be/stay in the top 10, I'll have free admission

I'm down on the MK koth thing too. So far only one friend has this game, and I'm sure he would be in it too. That's if Sony ever decides to get PSN back up and running.

I would love to do another meet up at the arcade sometime in May or June.

Hey nrosnwo, my Psn name is Ryosnk. I Only know one person who has it also.

I think June would work for me also.

id be down to do a KOTH. Im not that good yet though. psn name is bigsick13
