I have been, off and on, extremely anxious these past few months, likely due to delving too far into the secrets of my spiritual self. I'm disturbing the spiritually dead, proverbially speaking, and it's not someone else either- it's my dead self. Well of course this is all speculation, but in either case- as far as I'm concerned, I've willingly asked for a glimpse of Hell, and now I'm agonizing over whether it was really worth it.

I began this journey of self-exploration at first just to turn the nothing I was into something in the future; then, once I realized that it was not that simple, I began seeking out what that nothing was, because you cannot do anything you know nothing about, because even nothing is something

Well, all that abstract talk is just me being melodramatic...eventually, I found that the more I discovered about myself through this inference-based reasoning, the more I was able to improve upon myself. I started with internal change (opinions, morals, perspectives), and eventually harnessed these changes into habits/etc., to the point my transformation could not go unnoticed by those who "knew" me. But noooooo...that wasn't good enough for me. I had to find the unfindable answers, relying on the forbidden intuition that I should never have had- well perhaps I've just being "played" by myself- this illusion of soul-torture that I've forced upon myself due to expecting something.

But really, the possibilities are endless, so why doubt my doubts when I can "suspend judgement" on those matters- and focus my attentions on these far more engrossing and apparently irresistable obsessions. But, as you may have noted, these obsessions have really done a number on me. Why is it that I must have such depressing, such inevitably hopeless obsessions.

Now that I know that we all are motivated by the desire to run away from ourselves- or more accurately, we won't be happy unless we do everything to run away from ourselves. No- that's not even accurate. I mean "our other self" - might be our "Ego", might be our "soul" or "spirit" or "psyche"- well, it's arguable that all those words mean the same thing anyway. Perhaps- and this is most definitely the case, we are running away from something far bigger that that. But really, is that even possible, or does it even make any sense, considering at this point it's all just semantics.

Actually, I wouldn't even be able to write this post had it not been for the spontaneous impulses (that's redundant BTW) of my brother- by which I was able to clear my head sufficiently to actually think straight for the first time in 2 days. Now for some revised definitions "for the road":

Sin: Self- you know, the "other self". like I said, all semantics...

Agony: Seeing self, or a reflection/glimpse thereof- for what we really are, an eternally tortured self.

Hell: In "God's" presence we see the ugliness that we really are:

desperate, hateful, dependent, miserable, melancholic, masochistic/sadistic, vengeful, malicious, lonely, obsessed, perverted, greedy, lustful, irrate. All scum that is depicable and distasteful.

As to how such a hellish curse was eternally forced upon us, there are many possibilities, but this is my theory: Balance has always existed- it is the true God. But "in reality", Balance is only rules- just as Pythagoras's numbers did not create anything, but only organized what already existed. We, our "original" self- also existed, and were thus governed by Balance. But to gain self-awareness, our soul- as I'll call the "original self", had to pay an equal price- that is after all necessary to maintain Balance. The "Adam and Eve" story of Genesis 2-3, is IMO, a story that originally took, or more accurately, takes place outside time and a space- humans would not exist if "original self" did not become "original sin. Update: Time did exist- since it is a fundamental necessity of balance.

There are many Bible verses which support this interpretation, in several books, both the old testament and new. Although I really don't have motivation or time (b/f going 2 bed) to cite specific verses (although I probably would have if I didn't spend so much time procrastinating on Uncyclopedia- it's way to funny for my own good! see side-panel links for reference!)-

In Genesis, Isaiah, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastics, Revelation- just to name a few...

In the account of Jesus's death (found on all 4 gospels, though only a couple in sufficient detail), Jesus dies for our sake- taking the sin of the world upon himself.

I pity those millions (Billions unless it's "all for show") of Christians that completely misinterpret the Bible- it's not like I'm even close to accurate (obviously!) but at least I'm on the right track. Honestly though, how can anyone take what they call "God's Word" at face-value. It's sickening how simple people can be about things so far beyond themselves- what an insult to God!

Back to Jesus: In taking the sin upon himself- I strongly believe that this refers to the evolution of man. See, before man- there was just animals- no self-awareness.

To further understand- I'll shed some more light on my theories regarding the Soul:

The Soul is running away from itself- in denial, just as we are. That is because, in order to create life, death needed to be created. To create ecstasy, despair needed to be created. This was the price of Balance. The soul took upon itself those ugly qualities (the ones listed halfway through what I've written so far) so that it might give birth to the positives. The Soul did this so that it could have meaning, and because it was inevitable- it was in its nature to bestow benevolence. This soul is our God, and is always a part of us....Okay, for the time being ending creepy mystical mutterings...

Naturally, the Soul could not bear this state of being (hell), so it thrust itself into its creation, and became ignorant. The soul enjoyed bliss in this ignorance- animals, plants, and all life at that time, had naught but instincts, and thus had no reason to find the Soul. This is not unfeasible, as most humans today have the gift of self-awareness but do not use it, leaving it dormant.

But, in accordance with Balance, the Soul innately struggled to correct the imperfection of its beasts, and these struggles took on the form of evolution, with its battle-scars taking on the form of mutation, and its confusion was mirrored in natural chaos. As the struggle became exponentially intense, a split occurred within the Soul- this was also a necessity of balance. The struggle had reached a level so great that it threatened to destroy Balance, and an innate failsafe defense mechanism was activated within Balance, resulting in the first miracle. This miracle, having split the Soul into two, formed what I will call the "Thesis" and "Antithesis". Both the Thesis and Antithesis seek to be reunited under a Synthesis- but, in accordance with balance, this is not possible because that desire is neutralized with an equal and opposite force.

*Please note: Contrary to Augustine's theory that God exists outside time, my account, assuming "God" to be "the creator", exists within time-- Balance always exists, therefore time does. Even though God has always existed, he did within time, because Balance is also eternal. My "God" is also not infinite, and is bound by the laws of Balance.

The desire for synthesis is mirrored in our own lives to this day, because it is necessary for Balance. One might ask the question, is there then the possibility that there is also imbalance?- But if the answer was yes, that would be a moot paradox, so I wouldn't bother. (see Illogical)

Also, these events are somewhat reflected in the story of Cain and Abel.

Eventually, amid the struggles between the negative and positive that is the Soul, life evolved into increasingly complex organisms. But, in accordance with Balance, existence must be sustained by non-existence- thus, As many who are born must die. Because the animals were reproducing and flourishing, more were being born than were dying.

*Please note- keep in mind that although the Thesis and Antithesis are fighting, neither are self-aware of it, as their self-awareness is dormant within now-primitive life. Their subconsciousness's are dualing, and they are only aware of the effects, in the forms of chaos and mutation.

*Also- these circumstances are reflected in the story of Noah's Ark, particularly Gen. 6:1-7.

Now Balance was approaching the failsafe point, and- aware that the Soul had self-awareness, corrected the deficit by calling out the Soul (Antithesis and Thesis) to make a choice: allow the creation to be destroyed (which would be the second miracle), or make another sacrifice to correct the Balance in their stead. Because the Soul was now two different beings, the choice would have to be made separately. This decision could have been the long-awaited Synthesis, because both the Negative and Positive desired for life to continue flourishing. But Synthesis did not come to be.

The Positive Essence decided to sacrifice its self-awareness eternally, taking the form of Heaven or, more accurately, Nirvana.

The Negative Essence decided to keep it's self-awareness, but eternally resigned its right to ignorance, forever tormented to the ends permitted by Balance- its unhappiness mirroring the happiness of life, and vice versa. Thus, in order for life to be happy, it must be unhappy- we essentially depend on the unhappiness of the negative essence. It took the form of Hell or, more accurately, Samsara.

*Please note that there is a big difference between ignorance and self-awareness. The Positive Essence did not become ignorant by losing its self-awareness- if fact, if I understand Buddhism philosophy correctly, losing self-awareness is essential for losing all ignorance.

*As you probably already guessed, the Positive Essence's sacrifice was mirrored through the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha.

*Also note- The irony: Buddha discovered that the cause of human suffering was ignorance, but this is only one type of truth, which is derived from the Positive essence. Just as our well-being mirrors Samsara, our self-awareness mirrors the Positive Soul's lack thereof. Thus, because the Positive Soul is statically in a state of Nirvana, Balance must correct our ignorance with suffering, in accordance with Nirvana's complete lack of ignorance. On the other hand our ignorance can also grant us happiness, as ignorance makes our creator (the Negative side) unhappy. In other words, two negatives, when multiplied, make a positive. See here: God hates being ignored. Why do you think this commandment takes top spot on the 10?

*The Negative Essence was mirrored long before the Positive Essence did (Hinduism), but the effects were not fully realized until the life of Jesus. Because of the complications caused by the division of the Essences, and the sacrifices thereof, many miracles occurred up until the time of Jesus, and echoed until long after, in accordance. The effects of the Positive Essence need no be mirrored long, because it actually returned to its original self- essentially rendering it's role in the creation of life nonexistent. The original miracle through Which Nirvana's choice was reflected, was told in the allegory of Jacob and Esau (Gen. 25:30-34). Just as Esau gave up his birthright, Nirvana did as well. Key here is verse 34: ..."thus Esau despised his birthright." This mirrors the notion that Nirvana did not want it's birthright, because self-awareness actually held it captive, thus being more a hindrance than help.

(Just a thought)

Mirroring how Samsara took every kind of agony possible upon itself, Jesus took every sin upon himself. The Negative Essence became Samsara, taking Hell upon itself so that we might live- thus, the balance, at least for the time being, was complete.

Now all that remains is our choice. Because we were made in the Image of the Soul, we have self-consciousness. However, our self-consciousness is incomplete- metaphorically speaking, half complete. This is why we have two selfs. One of our selves has self-awareness, the other does not. That is because we are based upon and depend on two different Essences, of one Soul- one Essence has self-consciousness; the other does not. These two different selfs take the form of the Id and Ego.

The Id is the self-consciousless persona, derived from Nirvana

The Ego is the self-conscious persona, derived from Samsara

thus, Balance is achieved, and all that is left is for us to make the choice:

The Antithesis, the Thesis, or the Synthesis?

If we choose the Antithesis, Nirvana is achieved, ultimately

If we choose the Thesis, We will maintain self-awareness, but perpetually share with the happiness and unhappiness of the Samsara. Unfortunately, to correct the Imbalance required for us to live, we must ultimately suffer, as the suffering must outweigh happiness to compensate for life. This will continue, until we either choose Nirvana, or the third choice- the Synthesis:

Not a true Synthesis, but: We run away from our true selves, gaining ignorance through bliss, and pleasure through Denial. This is, unfortunately, the choice of the vast majority of the world. Although it is clearly the best choice for us, it is the greatest sin one can possibly commit, as we are gaining pleasure as the direct consequence of God's suffering. That is because by ignoring God we are doing that which makes him suffer most, and thus gain the greatest pleasure from it.

To end with a few verses that best reflect that last paragraph:

Mark 8- "34Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35For whoever wants to save his life^[c] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? 37Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" If you really think about it, you'll be taken off-guard at how closely these words match up to this post! ps.- this is probably the most on-the-spot biblical re-translation I've ever done on the spot in my life- guess I showed that Redneck/Asshole!

Results. Some were good; I improved in Chem. Most were bad though. I was sort of expecting it. I got a total of 30 out of 42 points, and I have to say that I'm mostly disappointed. Today I made a point to work loads harder for the prelims and all the other IAs coming my way. So yeah. Hopefully we'll see better grades in the future.

I spent the day, which was for most part devoid of lessons trying to figure out the finishing touches on my EE. In the process, I realized that Choir/Dance FOA tickets are selling faster ACSi pratas.

Today we also had a friendly game with Hwa Chong's Ultimate team. In all honestly, I left my class room half expecting to lose. By God's grace, we won the game quite comfortably. 13-4 or something like that. I have to say that I'm proud of the team. I love the fact that you guys gel so well and are just a really fun bunch of people. Y'all really put in your best efforts and it showed. Through God's strength we did an great job, (although there's obviously lots that we have to improve on), and that was definitely the highlight of the day for me!

I went for dinner afterwards, and showed up for prep really late. Its a good thing that Madam excused me.

Tomorrow, I need to hand in my final EE draft. Get some math work done and figure out my world lit assignments.

("Then with the eyes shut / looking through the rust and rot and dust / a small spot of light floods the floor | And pours over the rusted world of pretend | The eyes ease open and its dark again")

When people are in love, be it with God, some religion, google, or another human, many times- probably most times it starts with blind passion. The problem with blind passion though, is that if our perception of our object of desire changes even in the slightest, be it by change of information (i.e. "you were lying when you said you were rich?!?") change of priority (i.e. "I don't get the sex I 'need' from him/her") or just learning new information (i.e. "I'm having a baby")

When I was a Christian, and when I was in love, I really knew I was a Christian and in love. There was no doubt in my mind- I was on fire for Jesus and loved Elyse. But, in retrospect it was blind passion for both her and God. So the question is, "Was I really in love and a Christian"?

The answer is both true and false. In the present I was not, but in the past I was. In other words, the ability to look back gives us the ability to see things that no longer exist as if they did, because they exist in memory (which is also explained in "Forgotten"). We have all sorts of different realities, but the ones with which this post is especially concerned, is the realities of past, present, and future. That is, are the realities of past and future just as "real" as that which is right in front of us- the present?

I would say yes, and here's why: Because in the past I was in love, and was a Christian, I was able to learn and grow from it- after all, how would I know that it was "blind passion" now, unless I had matured? Even if I was blind, I still lived as if it was true, because I believed it to be. As long as we believe, it is true- it only is false if we believe it as such. As I explained in Id versus Ego, faith is a product of Id, naturally because Id's essence is blind desire/passion. No logic can convince a person driven by Id of anything, since Id is illogical. This knowledge has helped me understand human psychology and motivation a great deal- before I was constantly irritated by other's actions, because they were illogical. Now I know why. Id is still truth, just a different kind of truth. So logically, I wasn't a Christian and I wasn't in love, but I was illogically- no doubt about that.

Christians often cite the fact that people underwent so much persecution in the name of Jesus, and of Christianity. So much work was done, so much was sacrificed, so many lives given. So it must be true, right? Until now I have either suspended judgement, or discounted their actions as foolish. But while Christianity may be illogical in essence, it wasn't supposed to be any more than God is. So that claim, in its own right, is justified. However, it should be noted that it was, and is, true to Christians. It was true to me, but not anymore. The Bible however, does have some truth to me though.

I'll probably add to this later, but that's good enough for now...

In my inquiries regarding motivation (which have been the cause of much anxiety in the past week), I have gained many insights and had some exciting discoveries, of spiritual, mystical, and psychological nature. Now I have finally reached the single answer to what motivates us all. Of course, in my post Pride I had pretty much figured it out, but an answer is useless if you do not understand it, as I do now. See, although it is true that everything we do is motivated by pride, I failed to consider "Why?" The reason why can naturally be answered in one word, which (as you have no doubt guessed) is Denial. Yes I have to bold it, for emphasis :P

In other words, we live life in denial, running away from the truth, and using pride as an excuse. I can think of examples of this all over the place- the Crusades, the gross amount of deception in many relationships, politics, religion, and the paradox of trust. What is the paradox of trust, you ask? Well actually I coined the term, but it goes like this:

(1) Trust has the innate requirement of honesty, with complete trust requiring total honesty.

(2) Trust also requires that someone/something is dependable, as trust is the essence of dependence.

(3) Nothing in this world is dependable, because, in and of itself, nothing is perfect.

(4) Therefore, trust requires assuming the impossible- in other words, any level of trusting something/someone requires believing in lies (to compensate for imperfection) or if possible, completely ignore the imperfections, to the point that they do not (perceptively) exist.

(5) Inversely, gaining someone's trust requires deceiving when needed to compensate for one's perceived imperfections, and/or manipulating others into completely ignoring one's imperfections.

Thus, the only way to solve the paradox of trust is to compensate one's imperfection with lies, and not get caught (if one gets caught lying, that would destroy the trust achieved). But this only half-solves it, as all those between which the trust is built are still lying, and being lied to. Even if awareness of the lies are limited to each individual, they are still lies, and so true trust does not exist. Even if God is perfect, we still cannot truly trust him, as trust is mutual, and God cannot trust us, knowing we are imperfect.

Getting back to the point: What is it then, that we are in denial of, that we are running away from? Well, as illustrated in "the paradox of trust" (as I hereby coin it), we are running away from the truth.

The truth hurts. While searching for views on truth, I found a blog post here. At the beginning of the post, thoughtsonquotes summarized what I'm about the clarify in this post, with the following words:

Most people don't want to know the truth. Instead, they want validation for existing beliefs or positions. They do this for several reasons: ego, denial, ignorance and insecurity.

My take is that "ego", "ignorance", and "insecurity" all fall under "denial", of course. In my post Love, although lacking in many areas, was correct in underlying premise:

Humans have certain beliefs that, although intrinsically illogical, our mind relies on to some extent for survival, such as:

(a) "We are more important than [at least a few] other people" (b) "We will live forever"                 (c) "We have a defining purpose for our existence" (d) "[at least some] people need us"

The fulfill these impossibilities, we force ourselves into denial, believing lies in order to maintain our "sanity", and/or happiness. Thus, the best way to be happy is to give ourselves dreams that cannot be fulfilled, and spend our lives trying to achieve them.

To immortalize ourselves, we become "good people" (believing in the lies of religion) or invest in the community (utilizing the "paradox of trust) or prepare our children for a better future (which relies on the fallacy that the future is a reflection of the past, or that we can know anything with certainty. (as you might have realized by that last assertion, I am a total skeptic. Well, I guess I have been for a while, but just never seriously considered it. This is one of my Living Contradictions.

Well, the rest is adequately explained in the Love post.

So why is it that the truth hurts? What agony could be so great that we have an innate compulsion to run away from it, live in this denial, lest the truth overtake us, and we be overwhelmed by it? If it exists and has a nature similar to that which I am discovering it to be, the soul knows the answer, and in all probability, the pain we feel when awareness of the truth peaks- it may well reflect the agony that the soul is experiencing. But while I do not know the answers, one thing that I am certain of (although no more "certain" than everyone else is "certain" of their lies :P ) :

In order for the truth to exist there must be lies- I feel that the fact that we are in denial is out of necessity, to maintain balance. That is, without truth, nothing would exist, because truth is the essence of lies. This brings up another important question: What is lies? No, not what common sense, or the dictionary tells us. I never was one to follow "common sense" anyway. But rather, "Why?" do lies exist (even outside the necessity by which to distinguish truth), what purpose do they serve, ultimately. Of course, this is a question well beyond the nature of deception, however.

This goes beyond the word, even the concept, and is probably a question that will go unanswered, because it relies on the unreliable premise that things are as we perceive them, which I don't believe in to begin with. Perhaps things are how we see them. That's how my brother sees things, being a materialist. Perhaps I am an idealist not because I have intuitively concluded so, but simply because I am in denial, that I don't want to accept the way things are. This isn't unlikely, because I, being human, have the innate desire for change, and to perpetually view the world differently, making the present and the future one, and the past irrelevant.

HAPPY BIDDING!

A Primeira coisa ideal a saber, é a configuração da minha máquina. Meu Processador é:

--> Intel Pentium 4 524 de 3,06Ghz com socket 775 LGA e tecnologia 90nm, que contém as instruções MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 e o ideal para funcionamento do 64-bits, a instrução EM64T.

--> 1,5GB DDR de RAM;

--> VGA Nvidia GeForce 6600LE AGP 8x de 256MB.

Diga-se de passagem, que praticamente, esse é o primeiro Processador da Intel a ser implementada a Tecnologia 64-bits.

Vale lembrar aqui, que se você tem 4GB de memória mas usa Alguma versão do Windows em x86, você só tem na verdade 3GB de Memória RAM. A Versão x64 Bits Reconhece os 4GB por inteiros e muito mais.

QUESTÃO PERFORMANCE

O Windows Vista Ultimate x64 rodou lisinho, um pouco mais ligeiro que a versão x86. Ao Abrir aplicativos x64 pesados e simultaneamente ele se mostrou poderoso e não deu travadas ou qualquer tipo de LAG.

Nos Jogos ele se mostrou um pouco melhor também: Aqui no F.E.A.R Perseus Mandate, obtive melhora de 5 ~ 7 FPS no teste de Performance que tem no jogo.

Aplicativos em x86 rodaram normalmente aqui, como se fosse uma versão normal do Windows em x86.

Muita gente pensa que o Windows Vista é pesado, principalmente para jogos, que tem muitas firúlas e coisas inúteis, mas digo ao contrário. Usei o Windows Vista x86 aqui ele se saiu melhor que o Windows XP x86, na categoria jogos ele teve uma grande melhora, se quiser mais detalhes veja Aqui no Fórum WinAjuda, a quente discussão do desempenho do Vista em relação ao XP.

Resumindo, sobre a Performance, não há dúvidas de que o x64 sai na frente.

QUESTÃO DRIVERS

Após instalado o Vista Ultimate x64, ele já foi reconhecendo e instalando todos os drivers, inclusive o da minha GeForce (mesmo sendo desatualizado). O único problema maior era os drivers da RealTek AC'97 Audio. Esse foi solucionado atualizando o meu Windows no Windows Update, onde ele encontrou o driver de áudio e o instalou automaticamente.

Já foi-se o tempo em que mesmo sendo versão x64, a compatibilidade dos drivers era horrível. O Vista Ultimate junto com o Windows Update se sai bem instalando drivers automaticamente. E o Bom de tudo isso, é que os Drivers não são genéricos! Note-se que isso varia de máquina para máquina, pois cada máquina, tem seu hardware diferente.

What could be better than this?

I think I'm in trouble.  I've already started the search for the ultimate birthday cupcake.  Do I have time to go in search of the holy grail of cookies?!  What'm I thinking?  I think I've started reading way too many food blogs lately, some of which have posted about this article in the New York Times.  First it was Serious Eats, then Joy the Baker began her Chocolate Chip Cookie Debate - Part 1 & Part 2.  I was hooked. 

Of all the chocolate chip cookie recipes I've tried (which has been at LEAST 5 in the past year - including a Levain copycat), I've never tried "The Chewy".  And I'm not sure how I've missed it, considering, it's on Food Network's website AND it's Alton Brown!  I love me some Alton.  He's so informative and I really enjoy his sense of humor.  But, back to the cookie. 

I'm morally (maybe I need a different word here?) opposed to a thin & crispy cookie.  I believe in a nice, thick and chewy cookie.  But, I'm not sure I've found it.  Maybe I didn't chill it long enough?  Maybe I fiddled with it too much?  Maybe I tried to get too creative, haha?  Who knows.  What I do know is, I have more dough in the refrigerator and I'll be baking a few cookies each night to see if the cookie gets better with "age". ;-)

A few other notes about this particular recipe.  My dough only chilled for an hour. There are no specifics on how long to chill the dough. It just says "Chill the dough". Also, I baked it for 12 minutes, which is 2 minutes shy of Alton's suggestion, and the edges came out a little darker than I like. I only had some special dark and some mini semi-sweet chips, so that's what I used.  I also tried to create a "surprise" white chocolate middle, but ended up with white chocolate chips scattered in the middle. I used my cookie scoop and scooped out two balls, flattened them a bit, then put some white chocolate chips in the middle, then the other piece of dough on top. This is what I ended up with:

My next test: Let the dough chill for 12-24 hours and use an ice cream scoop (although, I have no idea what a #20 disher is exactly...guess I'll have to look it up). I'll keep you posted. ;-)

Now for my husband's favorite part:

There was a time where fighting games were kings of the video games. Back in the 90s where you actually had to leave the house and bring pockets full of quarters to the arcade. And the types of games played were fighting games. 2D fighting games to be specific. One fighting game series during this period is Mortal Kombat. But now with the internet and the influx of first person shooters have rendered us unable to leave the house. But in 2006, the people at Digital Eclipse teamed up with Midway to give us one of those 2D fighting games, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on the Xbox 360.

Before we move any further, Mortal Kombat was the other fighting game series to fill arcades along with Street Fighter. Mortal Kombat is more violent with its realistic look and gory finishers to rub in your victory to your opponent. Decapitations and pulling out hearts in MK1 eventually lead to even more gruesome fatalities and more over the top finishers as friendships, babalities, and animalities. Along with the major shock value, Mortal Kombat features a block button, which allowed the series to feel different from other fighting games.

Now with Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 appearing on the 360, this isn't the first time the original arcade version has been ported to consoles, which previously wasn’t done on other consoles successfully. Other versions would have load times in between fights, or have slight lag when Shang Tsung morphs. This port on the 360 has no apparent load times between fights and no hitches when Shang Tsung morphs. You may notice that the music stops a bit when you don’t finish a fight with a finishing move. Some things have improved here such as the sound. All the sounds in the game have better clarity than the arcade original.

This being an arcade port; that means that all things you love and hated in the arcade version are here as well. Mortal Kombat has never been a very big single player game because the artificial intelligence is rubber-band like. The CPU waits and reactions to what the player does. This becomes a problem but after being beaten multiple times, you pick up tendencies which will help exploit the computer. If you are into getting achievement points, the majority of the points in UMK3 are in the single player. But the main attraction is the online play.

Online has some problems to it. Most of the problems are how to get into matches. It makes sense for most online enables games to have create a game/join game option. But this is a two player game, so there are cases where you create a game and you will be waiting for a few minutes because others are creating games as well. Or you can’t join a game because everyone else is looking to join games as well. Another annoying thing is that most online games have the same background when you fight, instead of having the game cycle all the different backgrounds. Another thing is that the controls cannot be configured, which isn’t a bad thing since the controls on the 360 controller works pretty well. But if you want to play with a joystick, you are for the most part out of luck. And if you don’t know what you are doing, you are out of luck as well since most players will defeat you. So if you don’t know how to use a fatality or a friendship, you should get a FAQ and start playing. But if you play a game with a guy who thinks an internet connection runs off of copper wires and some spoons, then your game will play great online. So usually 90% of the time, online play works great.

So with the best port of UMK3 out there and great online support, with a price tag of $10 makes this version of UMK3 a bargain, especially for fighting game fans or Mortal Kombat fans wanting competition anytime they want it.
