If you were waiting for a new episode of Serious Fun, well...your wait is over. Also, maybe get some other things going on in your life? I mean, do what you will, just seems weird that you await this podcast with bated breath.

That said, this is a real good episode! A great one, I daresay! The illustrious writer and author David L. Craddock joins us to talk about his latest tome, "Long Live Mortal Kombat: Round 1". Bryan and David talk about the history and legacy of Mortal Kombat, how public opinion has changed, the process of writing a decades-spanning book, the arcade scene in Bulgaria, and so, so much more in this jam-packed, wide-ranging episode. If you've ever spent your lunch period quickly scrawling down input codes for Fatalities, this episode is for you.
