VIDEO: The Ballad of Mike Haggar

Matt Hawkins Contributing Writer, Video Games

Who would have ever thought that the shirtless mayor (and occasional pro wrestler) from Final Fight could possibly star in such an epic tale of…. epicness?

Upon first hearing the narrator, you’ll probably go “okay, what’s the deal with this delivery?” like I did. But stick with it, trust me on this one…

… Actually, I believe the goofy narration is what makes it works. The dude’s all business; this ain’t no joke, a real man’s tale, and had better listen if you have any hope of actually growing a spine.

Anyway, as I often like to do, I tried checking out this guy’s other videos. He’s got a few, including something called the Apathetic Video Game Nerd…

… Cute, but the most interesting other stuff he has are a pair of vids that highlight fatalities from some rom hack version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I’m simply quote one of the commentators: “Wow, there were a lot of lame-ass fatalities, but some of them were fucking brilliant.” Forward to 4:55 for the best part…

… The 10:18 mark is also interesting. Anyway, I showed part two first, so the joke at 4:55 would be funnier, though it overall has the most interesting moments…

… Be sure to check out the 2:20, 3:31, and 4:22 marks.

What'd you think of this?
