Of course, as with most game-to-movie adaptations, the director/writers take their own liberties and screw the whole process up. Then video games get a bad rap for having shitty stories when, in fact, some of the absolute best stories period have come from video games. Final Fantasy VII and other FF games, Mortal Kombat (incredible amount of story), etc. That said, the FIRST MK movie, that was done under the supervision and with the consent of MK founders John Tobias and Ed Boon, turned out real good. Good fight scenes that were realistic and not too flashy with special effect overdose, and they followed the story fairly well.

I've had my share of them. I do recommend taking as much time off as you need. In the mean time, you may want to consider volunteering at the school in the classes if it is possible. If you can't train, next bext thing is to help teach. Good luck. I’m sorry to hear about your injury. I’ve had my share of them. I do recommend taking as much time off as you need.

In my mind there is nothing romantic about getting gutted. It is just a slow painful death. I don’t agree with you on point 2. In my mind there is nothing romantic about getting gutted.
