GamesRadar original animation: Sub-Zero has trouble with life

Those icy powers are great in a fight, but in day-to-day life? Inconvenient

Words: David Houghton on October 15, 2010

On first thought, you'd assume that being Mortal Kombat's Sub-Zero would be a pretty sweet deal. All that mastery of ice and frost? Badass in a fight. Just badass. But I thought about it some more, and I realised that out of the ring, in normal day-to-day life, being a supernaturally icy ninja would be a total ball-ache. Seriously, it would ruin your day - and everyone else's - on a regular basis.

So I made an animation exemplifying just how rubbish and inconvient Sub-Zero's life must be thanks to his stupid icy powers. And you can find it just below.

See what I mean? I have plenty of thoughts like this, so don't be surprised to see a few more of these turn up at some point.

The only thing I found to be British was the use of the word "Cocks" (which I only know thanks to Top Gear). I thought this was pretty good, and humor devoid of nationality!

I'm an American and I thought it was hilarious! It'd be great to see some more.

Yea why do you assume this is British humour? There isn't exactly anything british about Sub Zero jokes is there? :)

In David's defense, he IS British. But whatever. I liked it.

I loved this, and im an american. It sort of depends on what you find humorous and what you know of mortal kombat.
