18-yo Struck by Lighting Playing Mortal Kombat, Raiden Not Involved

Yesterday gizmodo learned that a 18-yo had to be rushed to hospital after being struck by lighting while holding a gamepad in his mouth and another one in his hands. Weird? Well, it gets weirder: He was playing Mortal Kombat for SNES with his cousin. How and why the heck do you play Mortal Kombat with your mouth and two gamepads?

God hates the SNES version of Mortal Kombat. Genesis version FTW.

ABACABB, That code is second only to "THE" code for Contra, LOL

[SmokeyMcBear]

ah yes, Genesis with the joystick controller... woohooo childhood

[Maddens Raiders]

this title is funny as hell, but do we really know that Raiden wasn't involved?

Hubay - lable -abbei - yuh!!!
sorry trying to impersonate the flying thunder god.lol)

[TriggerHappy]

i lol'ed at this story. how the hell does that happen ?

[MyNutsYourChin]

I'm kidding of course but that is an awesome title.

[XENOCIDE]

I guess I'm the only one who thought the title was a low blow.

[Tsalagi]

Toasty!!!

[GotAmmo]

Thats the post of the day

[MK_Red]

That was one superb comment. Bubbles for you but that Toasty deserves a comment of the year award!

LMAO@Raiden not involved.....as far as you know

[ThaGeNeCySt]

lmao @ article title

[XxZxX]

Wait this just in. The boy just told the press, he heard "Tahimamale" before the lightning strike. Police is now on manhunt on a person wearing asian farmer hat and white and teal clothing. The person is appear to be dangerous and teleportable.

ALI-BO-BO-YEEEEEEEEE BIATCH!!! Haha

[Torch]

Haven't seen ol' MK Red around for a while...

Coincidence?

;)

[snittolo]

Nuff Said.

Kid grabs controller and tells cousin: "Hey cousin check this trick out" kid then gets struck by lightening, sparks fly everywhere, hair stands like Einstein’s, smoke starts emanating off his body.

Cousin scream: "DUDE THAT WAS F@CKING AWESOME!!"

[Torch]

OK, they've got the motion thing down...how about some hardcore force-feedback fatalities in the next round?

Oh wait, I think they may already be there...

I've lost count of how many stories I've already read about people getting speared in the neck or sliced in the head by a deadly Wiimote immediately following the Wii's release.

@Silverwolf:
Thanks for that hilarious imagery. Bubbles+!

[kewlkat007]

yes I like the title...maybe it was this guy..lol

[SmokeyMcBear]

kudos to the big trouble in little china pic, i wonder if that was the inspiration for raiden, or was it something else.

[kewlkat007]

Midway is not fooling me..hehe

Jack Burton = Jhonny cage(good ol american bad ass)
David Lo Pan = Shang Tsung(He even take souls too)
Eddie Lee = Lui Kang(watch the movie)
Lightning = Raiden(No doubt)
Gracie Law = Sonia(it's the green eyes, and american)

This movie had some kick-ass special effect for it's day, one of my fav movies, Big Troubble in Little China.

I bet his cousin was thinking "Finish Him!" in his mind. For his cousin being selfish with the controllers.

[Itachi]

what i find strange is he was playing a snes

[MK_Red]

Nice find! But...
The title is wrong. Raiden was definitly involved and he showed that elder gods of Mortal Kombat do not like the censored SNES version.

Hope lightning strikes all those anti-gamers Jack Thompson and the supporters of censorship.

[i Shank u]

guys guys! ...Chris Lambert has been Raiden since 1995. He did it

I wonder if the kid had little lightning bolts in his eyes, like Chris Lambert did in the movie

"When I regained consciousness, I thought I was dead. I stood up looking back, to see if my body was dead on the floor," he said.

that has to be the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life.
