Um actually, the original Mortal Kombat _didn't_ use motion capture. Motion capture is a technique in which a human being in the real world puts on a suit that tracks his movements and pass it on to a computer, that uses that data to generate animations in a 3D environment. The technique used for Mortal Kombat is actually called "digitilized sprites", in which actors were filmed in front of a blue screen performing moves, and then the footage was cropped and transformed in frames of animation to be used as sprites for the characters in the game.

[@patmiranda2405]

Also it was the only game to that lead to the rating systems. There were other games as well that lead to it.

[@richardknight8338]

Nah, console release of MK absolutely started it all.

Um actually that's still considered a form of mo cap which by rough definition means translating the movement into a digitized version. So both right and wrong no points?

[@MateusDrake]

Um, actually Omega Level Mutante aren't classified regarding how powerful they are, it's about mutants whose dominant power is deemed to register or reach an undefinable upper limit *THAT* power's specific classification. For example, Magneto and Forge are the most powerful mutants of their power types (Magnetism and technopathy), but Magneto is omega level because the upper limit of his powers cannot be surpassed in any measurable fashion, while Forge's could be (and have been by multiple humans). Bobby Drake's (Ice Man) temperature manipulation (negative) is the best there is at what he does. He can even create sentient life (way before Elsa did it). Xavier is powerful, but he isn't the very best telepath. Jean Grey and Kid Omega are. Source: Hickman's run, X-Men wiki.

[@Lumenoxchannel]

This is actually a new definition introduced by Hickman. Omega level mutant has meant a lot of things over the years, but in general just means one of the most powerful mutants.

[@nuttym]

Before Hickman re-classified the meaning, Omega was world ending. Magneto is a class 4, Charles was only a class 3... Cerebro gave him a huge boost of power and made him seem far stronger than his own power.

@@brotherofAnubus frankly I think it’s just a matter of the contestants not having played/not being familiar with the games (aside from bioshock). I recognized the Butcher, the Reaper, the Creeper, and the headcrab all virtually instantly, but that’s just due to the amount of time I’ve spent playing those games (aside from Diablo, which I recognized from reputation in the Diablo 3 community alone). Imo most of the sounds played are distinctive enough to be recognized by people who have played the games. Additionally, those sounds all require immediate player response, so if you’ve played the game then you probably get this feeling of needing to do something. So I think it’s just the contestants haven’t played these games. It could work as a mini game but you’d need a particular panel of contestants.

[@ryanadams4812]

It was called digitization! Not motion capture!

[@phirewind]

Came here a year late to say this. Um, actually, Motion Capture is the process of recording the motion of fixed points on a moving object or body, in order to transfer that pattern of motion onto a digital proxy, e.g. an entirely different character model with an animation rig, and rendering that character performing the motions. Mortal Kombat used "digitization", which meant recording people with a video camera in front of a green screen, then using software to extract clip art from a collection of frames. That is effectively the same as the clay-mation process used for Goro, but with a video camera recording way more frames than necessary of people moving themselves, instead of a regular camera taking one picture at a time of a sculpted model.

[@TF_Tony]

Yup! Motion capture captures motion. Mortal Kombat's sprites were done by capturing light.

[@VortoMundus]

Side note, the cake in the matrix wasn't just an example. The woman excused herself to the bathroom which gave the Merovingian an opening to follow after her and cheat on his wife. This was the pivotal element that led to her betraying him and getting Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus to the Keymaker.

Um, actually, that really should have been considered correct when kirk said that it wasn't motion capture. It was actually digitized footage of them on green screen. The characters are essentially altered photographs which were made into sprites, not "motion captured."

[@SergioLeRoux]

Correct, motion capture means that the positions of the actor are recorded and then applied to a (usually 3D) model, which wasn't until MK4. EDIT: Slight correction, the actor images weren't that much altered, they were photographed in costume and makeup of the final characters.

[@KillahMate]

Yes. The process is called 'rotoscoping', and it was used in games (such as the original Prince of Persia) and sometimes in animated films (the Lord of the Rings animated movie from 1978, or for example Undone on Amazon Video which uses computer-assisted rotoscoping), but it's not at all the same thing as motion capture.

While I am sure you are correct, and I have no points to give. I was a child when the first MK came out, and at the time it was described as "motion capture".

[@SkyeSentinel4157]

@@rizerek the one I remember best was right at the entrance to the Shadow Temple, and yee they were a little freaky but always just.... those ReDeads, man. The chilling scream along with that panic as you realize that you can't move your character?!? Pure terror as you just had to stand there and watch them approach, praying you were far enough away that you'd be able to move before they jumped on you...

For some context: at some point, someone (I think maybe Emma Frost) reveals that Iceman could actually manipulate water in any state of matter which could give him the ability to control people against their will and other crazy stuff, but he hasn't put in the effort to harness that ability, and that's why he's an omega-level mutant.

And also, the character has been credited as "Doctor Who" many times, so out of universe, it is acceptable to refer to him as such.

Its a major part of his charactor, especially Matt Smith's doctor who was pictured, that his real name is only known be a very limited number of people such as The Master and River Song

[@benstevens44]

@@cmckee42 And to really muddy the waters, he was even actually explicitly named AS Doctor Who in-canon by an authoritative if very unreliable source; as Missy explains it, his assumed name is indeed actually "Doctor Who", and he introduces himself as "The Doctor" specifically to trick people into responding "Doctor Who?" But of course, coming from an incarnation of the Master, there's a better than even chance that this was just a case of messing with the Doctor's pet human for fun.

[@jb888888888]

Um Actually the Doctor didn't give himself the title the Doctor. If anyone did, it was Ian who gave him that title. From "An Unearthly Child" IAN: Just open the doors, Doctor Foreman. DOCTOR: Eh? Doctor who? What's he talking about? [later] BARBARA: Oh, look, I don't understand it any more than you do. The inside of the ship, suddenly finding ourselves here. Even some of the things Doctor Foreman says IAN: That's not his name. Who is he? Doctor who? [later] IAN: I think we'd better get going. Doctor, will you lead? DOCTOR: Yes, yes, yes, yes. Many years later, "The Lodger:" DOCTOR: That's how we greet each other nowadays, isn't it? I'm the Doctor. Well, they call me the Doctor. I don't know why. I call me the Doctor, too. Still don't know why.

The ones we of are Hela, Fenrir, Sleipnir, and Jörmungandr." the question specifics that he's the father of the children, and while that's true for the others it isn't for Sleipnir. He's it's mother.

Um actually if you get a good battery, live in an area with consistent temperatures, have a car that's easy on the battery (low passive drains, starts easy, no crazy sound system), and use a maintainer, you can definitely have a car battery for like 7 years with no issues. Of course most people don't know that stuff so it ends up being more like 3-4 for a lot of people especially as cars have higher and higher power demands. And it can always be tested to be sure if you're worried it's getting close to time I don't want to know this but it's living in my head because it's my JOB now to know that
