Yet again, the MK Empire is still here...
Yes I know, this site only gets updated a few times a year now, but my schedule is tight and I already noted that we would not be covering MK: Deception 24/7 in its formative stages.
But, I just felt that it was time to update on a few things that have been lingering for a while, so enjoy.

The MK Empire to auction off MK collectables!
You read right!  For almost a year now I haven't managed to get areound to this, but now it's time.  I will be auctioning off/giving away tons of rare MK collectable items over the internet (Ebay) very soon, and I decided to give the readers of this site first dibs on what will be put up for bidding.  Below is a list of what will be sold within the coming month, along with pictures of the items, so that you can see them here first.  I will stress that if anyone sees one of my items and really really wants one, drop me an e-mail requesting more info and I might be able to help you out (a.k.a. just send you the item)!  So, check out what I've got so far:

-- Mortal Kombat 1 Codebook      [ view ]
-- Mortal Kombat 1 Codebook      [ view ]
-- Mortal Kombat 2 Codebook      [ view ]
-- Mortal Kombat Tattoos (from the MK2 Codebook)      [ view ]
-- Mortal Kombat 3 Kollector's Book      [ view ]
-- Mortal Kombat 3 Codebook      [ view ]
-- Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Codebook      [ view ]
-- Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Codebook      [ view ]
-- Mortal Kombat Trilogy Codebook      [ view ]
-- Mortal Kombat 4 Codebook      [ view ]
-- Mortal Kombat 4 Codebook      [ view ]
-- Mortal Kombat Trading Cards (Box Set)      [ view box ]        [ view card ]

Prices for these items are all pending, so keep checking back here for updates once they are posted.
** I also have other non-MK things lying around that I might throw on Ebay as well, including two Gravis Gamepad Pro gaming controllers, one Gravis Blackhawk joystick, dozens of PC CD-ROM games, and Donkey Kong 3, Killer Instinct, and Killer Instinct 2 Codebooks.  Again, e-mail me if interested.

MK: Deception and the 3rd MK movie in full force
As we all know by now, MK: Deception is in full force, and since E3 and all of the updates on numerous big gaming sites on the internet have arisen, the game seems to be coming along smoothly.  But, as stated before, the MK Empire will not cover such updates day by day, so your best bet is to go to big, informative sites like Mortal Kombat Online, davesmk.com, and trmk.org since these sites can keep you updated by the minute with MK information.  Nevertheless, Deception looks sick so far (did you see those fatalities?!), but only in playing it in the Fall will we truly see if it lives up to the hype.  Also, news is starting to trickle in about the 3rd MK movie, and word is that production is officially beginning as we speak.  It looks to be a big year for Mortal Kombat once again...

Test #19 recap
Just to let you all know, Test #19 has been up for some time, but I lost all of the recent e-mail entries for it, so as a result it will be staying up a bit longer so that at least a few more winners can get posted up.  If you submitted an entry before, sorry that I didn't get it, but please try again if you want.

MK Empire poll
Similar to the update above, I will be leaving the current Poll up as well so that more votes can be tallied.  The question, "What is the best MK game of all time?" has seen a shift in results every week, with a new game barely pulling to the front of the voter tally time and time again, so I'll leave it up a bit longer so that the true "best" MK game of all time will be revealed by the people.
