In this months episode of Drink the Video games, we head into the realm of Mortal Kombat and talk about how the game came into being, how its controversies propelled it to every corner of popular culture, and how it remains a pillar of video games to this day! Plus Michaela from Drink the Movies helps us out with a Scorpion cocktail to help us win any fighting tournaments along the way.
