CONGRATS to the winner of the hourglass! Make sure and share this video because there's more good things to come! Thanks everyone for your support of the channel!!

[@MXSretro]

I love that the “for my son” guy has basically become a legend in the community.

[@MortsGarage]

He didn't become that. He started out that way.

[@MXSretro]

@@MortsGarage truth 🙌🏻

[@gamesdottom]

Thanks Erica! and Mort! Glad the community hasn’t gotten tired of me :)

[@BlockbusterAssociate]

Mort is the man!

[@BlockbusterAssociate]

Noob Saibot would have been my answer to you about creators. Would have given you all the answers you need there lol. Mortal Kombat Deception is my favorite purely for the graveyard unlockable thing. I remember many of hours picking the next gravestone to unlock lol.

[@MortsGarage]

I would honestly have allowed that!

[@MANNYSARCADE]

America's next top model 😆 we had a great time at the event & it's always great hanging out with you Mort

[@MortsGarage]

Always great seeing you amigo!!

[@young_treasures]

We absolutely loved the video! Thank you so much Mort for including us and giving everyone a glimpse into VHS collecting! 📼😄 We really appreciate you and all that you do! ❤

[@MortsGarage]

ALWAYS happy to have you guys on my channel!

[@Hot.TubTony_TheCamelCrew]

Thomas is cashing out ! FOR HIMSELF! Not his son! Love that guy!

[@MortsGarage]

TONY! Yes, dude is super rad!

[@gamesdottom]

Ayeee much love Tony!!! CamelCrew4Life

[@cubansupreme]

9:36 Not going to lie, I kind of wished he said "For my Mort" XD.

[@MortsGarage]

Hahaha - wait till you see next week’s video

[@marsalien4]

The ending was so funny, the smash cut to "or have we just begun" was so good. What a lovely and just incredible video as always, Mort. They never fail to put a smile on my face :)

[@MortsGarage]

I appreciate your comment! Wasn’t sure if it was too jarring, so it’s cool to read this.

[@Chronis67]

That hourglass is sick. I was thinking about it and there is only 1 proper bit of MK lore that i would want to share. Those were $500 sunglasses....!

[@MortsGarage]

Haha - NICE!!

[@oldschoolgamer469]

Super Great video! I was like yelling at your video with questions. I knew them all. Thanks Mort!

[@MortsGarage]

Haha! Maybe next time

[@cubansupreme]

6:58 He's definitely right about Jax and Sonya being Special Forces members but I don't think that Goro ever ripped Jax's arms off (Ermac ripped his arms in the "Alternate Timeline" that started in Mortal Kombat 9 AKA the 2011 released Mortal Kombat game though.). But I'll let that last one slide, at least he knew some Mortal Kombat character lore.

[@MortsGarage]

Dang! If only you were there to help bring in the REAL story!

[@rmgb-tv]

Only MK fact I really know is that the Toasty guy from 2 is called Dan Forden and he is / was the sound designer on many of the early titles.

[@MortsGarage]

That doesn’t sound made up. I’d have counted it either way!

[@therepairsloth]

ANOTHER great video, Mort. Nobody has your unique style, and I love that fact. The joy you spread is always appreciated and is always a highlight to my day. Glad you were able to push over the line at the end, as Elliot came in clutch, but the best part was giving away the MK Hourglass. You made his day! Thanks, as always, and I hope you have a great day!

[@MortsGarage]

Thanks so much! But, just you wait for Monday’s video 🤘

[@Nintendos]

Everytime you say Ontario I get excited until you say California... Gotta come to Ontario Canada for a convention! The Toronto game scene is legit!

[@MortsGarage]

[@videogameaficionado]

Your videos always cheer me up, i has a bad day today since one of my dogs died today, i was pretty down, a few minutes ago watched your video and made me smile, keep up the good work

[@MortsGarage]

Thank you for sharing this - I'm sad for your loss. Peace to you and your family.

[@RetroRivals]

Cliffhanger!!!! Gosh Mort, I guess I'll just have to keep watching. The MK giveaway was awesome. You totally could have sold that, but you put it in the hands of somebody that would really enjoy it and there's no greater gift than being able to give back to the community. Glad you hit your goal at the last second... Quite literally. Another awesome feel good video!

[@MortsGarage]

Thanks team ❤️🤘❤️

[@WavesNGames]

You were right, it was worth coming to this video to see what happened with the hour glass. So many sealed games in this video!

[@MortsGarage]

I know I keep saying this in the comments, but just wait until next week!

[@GameBoisTV]

Woohoo, glad someone actually won the MK11 quiz. The GOAT MORT

[@MortsGarage]

I was genuinely taken aback by how many people picked Street Fighter. I mean, it’s my choice as well, but, you know…

[@roguedr0id]

Dude! This was awesome and not just because of our 15 seconds of fame, lol! Congrats to the fan that won the MK hourglass and awesome shout out to young treasures. We'll be checking them out! We'll catch ya next time!

I wish I was there to answer all the mortal kombat questions !!!!! I know that noob saibot is spelling Tobias boon the co creator of Mortal Kombat backwards and then making up the mythology that it’s sub zero after death as his brother becomes the new sub zero Congrats to the winner !!!!

You would most certainly have won!

Love the shout out to your buddies talking about VHS! It's crazy how some stores are going away with physical media, I.E. Best Buy and Walmart. I wonder if they will come back at some point like LPs.

[@MortsGarage]

I loved getting to highlight them, but just generally don't know much about VHS and they do, so I had to get an idea of how things are going in that corner of the collectibles world.

[@young_treasures]

@z_SquaredGaming We are so happy that Mort included us to share about VHS. We have some from when we were teens but really starting collecting over the past 8 years and have over 1000 in our collection. We love VHS!!📼

So glad you enjoyed :)

[@ArkansasPicker]

Fact: Mortal Kombat was made to compete directly with Aminal Crossing.

[@MortsGarage]

What's crazy is the deal Midway made to swap Animal Crossing characters with their slate of characters. I'm sad I didn't get to build Scorpion town or find out what Tom Nook's finishing move would have been...although my guess is on a brutal beheading fellowed by him saying "Looks like you're bankrupt...peasant."

[@pluspixel]

To be fair… the correct answer is Street Fighter 😂

[@MortsGarage]

…it’s true 🫣

[@RawkusRetro]

MORTal Kombat was named after mort.

[@MortsGarage]

If I had a fighting game, we'd try and resolve our differences and hug it out. That'd be sick.
