This was nice to watch while sick in bed, laughing hurts at the moment but was well worth it. I sent this to my cousin and then we started reminiscing about the old days when we played Deception and Armageddon alot as youngsters Thanks for this man.
Dude I hope you recover nicely 🙏 although I like that you laughed heheeee. The good ole Deception Armageddon days were perfect. Thankyou brother as always
Honestly I remember this being a lot of fun as a kid and was actually pissed when MK9 retconned the story because I had to beat Blaze as goddamn Taven of all characters.
I think mk9 was in a whole separate timeline from 1-7 but I think Taven's ending is canon and that shao kahn just killed everyone and stole Blaze's power from them
Honestly what a time to be a kid and be able to get your hands on shaolin monks, mk deception, and mk Armageddon. Definitely top tier 3D era mks for the time and what they had the money and time for.
@@EvanHelblingYT bro if you got a family member or someone to play it with you should 100% play it. Me and my little brother loved that game to death and even had mains me being lui Kang and him being kung lao. We switched up once but we ended up switching controllers because we didn't like the feel of each other's characters lmao. Also I played a ton of deception for chess Kombat what a great and unique game mode for a mk game that sadly hasn't returned. Could you imagine online chess Kombat? I still have a PS2 to this day from when I was 11 and he was 10 and I have mk deadly alliance, deception, Armageddon, and shaolin monks.
Nice video as always. It is nice to see that your channel grows so fast, the quality of your videos is extremly good from the beginning. I liked Armageddon back in the day but the story also got very strange (even for Mortal Kombat standards) so I guess a story reset was needed after that one. I kind of miss the konquest story modes but on the other hand, they also very a bit goofy so I understand why they cut them for a more linear story mode.
Thankyou man, It was a slow n steady 2 years but now things are starting to go fast. The reboot was my favorite game but the og Armageddon story is still cool to consider. Especially since Blaze isn’t thought about much nowadays
Pretty awesome narration for Armageddon 👍. Next you should review a game that's like Red Dead redemption but different it's called Gun personally I believe it's worth a video being made on it.
I spent 10 fuckin years trying to find a ps2 so i could play this MASTERPEICE AGAIN. 10 FUCKIN YEARS. I finally got 1 and man i dont regret it. By far my favorite mk to date. The nostalgia hit me like freight train bro. Along with the ai
This isn't really related to the video but I can usually tell when an older video of yours is taking off more due to more recent likes or replies to a comment I made, it's kind of amusing lol. Keep em coming, Evan
Thankyou Baron, you’re the realest of real ones. I appreciate it more than you know man. Btw I love the new pfp style btw, reminds me of voodoo ranger. (Thankyou for acknowledging the quicksand 😂)
My all time favourite fighting game! The Konquest was so brutal and fun to try collect everything! Best part was killing the small enemies on the spikes and knocking body parts off with the hammer! 😂
The "Santa stop this isn't a chimney" gave me a hearty chuckle and after my day today I needed it. Deception and Armageddon were two of me and my brothers favorite games which we spent a lot of hours beating the hell out of each other on. Great video as always and can't wait to see what gem you decide to review next, keep it up man!
Haha i’m glad that one worked at least once 😂 that’s the best, I remember scaring my dad with the fatalities cause I was like 9 lol. Thankyou as always man!
Crablord? This is where you been? Good to see you man! Great vid, I’ve been on a mortal kombat binge. Glad to see you still making content, mind if I show you an album I made when it’s finished? You’ve been such a huge help for me and I wouldn’t have done anything musically without you, hope you’re doing well and still making music, love this content tho ima binge it.
Great video as usual Evan! This wave of mortal Kombat content has got me nostalgic for the shaolin monks game on the PS2, if you could do a video on that I'd love to see what you'd do with it 😊
Hello Evan, I was wondering, can you introduce the community to the most underrated Rockstar game that nobody's ever heard of? the Warriors (2005) PS2. I appreciate.
Ah, right in the nostalgia. Long time viewer of your channel here. Glad to see your hard work paying off. Keep up the quality content! Also, would love to see your take on Kingdom Hearts one day lol
I love you and the videos you make. If you ever stop I will be sad unless it’s cause you’re dead in which case I’ll be one extra level of sad, perhaps two.
@@EvanHelblingYT I think Darkwatch is a perfect game for you to cover btw. It’s Van Helsing adjacent, a ps2 cult classic. Also my brother worked on it while he was Engine Director at Insomniac Games
Found your channel earlier today and have already watched a bunch of your videos. Really enjoy just hearing you walk through story modes. I don’t think I ever beat this game as a kid, despite playing it a ton.
Personally, I think MK Armageddon was peak MK. Sure, as a fighting game it was kind of janky and the monster characters messed with the game balance, but good lord it was fun.
Caro...the ultimate Woobie; I wish he was in more games. Although...the Konquest of Armageddon was kontrast to my series finale. I was very disappointed on what happened, and I always felt it was a rushjob; it was released a month before the PS3, after all. Also...this would've been more epic if we had MK11's Fire God Liu Kang!
MK 2 should end with Liu Kang the Conqueror stopping Lord Raiden from time traveling … and then we return to the OG ending to ARMAGEDDON…. Where half of the contestants DIE and do NOT return to the franchise.
I may be insane, but I was able to remember 3/5 of those characters tbh. Can't believe we can't get a new MK Armageddon (with all these characters updated) every ten years. Kinda silly that we don't tbh. New timeline? New Armageddon
I do wish they'd remake this game with "better" writing and more polished mechanics. The modern games have gotten tired with the formulas, I miss open arenas, konquest mode, karts, probably the kreate-a-fighter idk that shit was kinda busted but still really cool
@@EvanHelblingYT No worries bro. You keep making videos like this and in no time at all you'll have enough subs to leverage asking out one of the youtube ASMR girls 🤣🤣🤣
"He looks older" I AM OLDER! I don't know why I just died laughing at that.
Hahha that was an accident and it made me laugh too
This was nice to watch while sick in bed, laughing hurts at the moment but was well worth it. I sent this to my cousin and then we started reminiscing about the old days when we played Deception and Armageddon alot as youngsters Thanks for this man.
Dude I hope you recover nicely 🙏 although I like that you laughed heheeee. The good ole Deception Armageddon days were perfect. Thankyou brother as always
Hope you feel better bro
Vibe dislocated my knee two days ago so I’m binging anything I can find
Honestly I remember this being a lot of fun as a kid and was actually pissed when MK9 retconned the story because I had to beat Blaze as goddamn Taven of all characters.
I think mk9 was in a whole separate timeline from 1-7 but I think Taven's ending is canon and that shao kahn just killed everyone and stole Blaze's power from them
Yeah they should've at least shown Taven's dead body near Shao Kahn, to make a lil more sense
@@EvanHelblingYT hearted your own comment 💀
I agree. I stopped caring about MK's story after the 3D era.
@@MerlautJones couldn’t agree more
One of THE MOST fun fighting game story modes imo, lots good memories from this one the wii, so cool so see someone else playing it!!
Forsure one of the most fun games i’ve replayed on the channel. Thanks for stoppin in!!
Honestly what a time to be a kid and be able to get your hands on shaolin monks, mk deception, and mk Armageddon. Definitely top tier 3D era mks for the time and what they had the money and time for.
I remember paying 20, 10, 5 bucks for em
I played so much Deception growing up, I still need to play Shaolin Monks

WAKE UP!!! New Evan Helbling video just dropped!
Love your videos man keep em coming.
Wooo! Thankyou man, I appreciate it big time 🤘🫡

thankyou! I've been hearing a lot about Gun, it will be a video forsure (:
Taven hasn't shown up in new MK because he's stuck on quicksand.
That’s what i’m sayin!
He appears in mortal kombat x so he is canon
It's a shame Midway fell into quicksand. NRS is so bad at telling stories.
that quicksand we'll sneak up on ya. I just watched the new story, not sure how I feel about it yet but it was cool at least
I spent 10 fuckin years trying to find a ps2 so i could play this MASTERPEICE AGAIN. 10 FUCKIN YEARS. I finally got 1 and man i dont regret it. By far my favorite mk to date. The nostalgia hit me like freight train bro. Along with the ai
That's awesome man, nothin beats that feeling. Definitely one of the best!!
Mortal Kombat Armageddon konquest mode tells the truth Taven is really the one who killed Blaze Ed Boon was lying who killed Blaze.
who knows, maybe Taven was immediately killed by Shao Kahn after the scene. Wish they mentioned more
Im sorry that ive only found this amazing channel last minute (like girls gone wild commercials late at night) domo arigato
You can tell daegon is a bad guy because he has a scar 😅
Man I loved the 3D Era games
plus the semi-erotic armor to finish it off haha
Why am I getting nostalgic about Armageddon and Timesplitters from this video? 😂
It appears my subliminal Timesplitters propaganda works haha
I really enjoyed Armageddon, though the Konquest mode in Deception was miles better with the open world IMO.
It was so much easier with less options, but Deception is a better experience overall forsure. Plus Shujinko is awesome
This isn't really related to the video but I can usually tell when an older video of yours is taking off more due to more recent likes or replies to a comment I made, it's kind of amusing lol. Keep em coming, Evan
Thankyou Baron, you’re the realest of real ones. I appreciate it more than you know man. Btw I love the new pfp style btw, reminds me
of voodoo ranger. (Thankyou for acknowledging the quicksand 😂)
Mans found a way to put every Timesplitters SFX into the video 😂
It really tested my sound library hahaha
Why does everyone we meet, results in fighting someone. Even when your trying to reason with them, it always result in fighting.
lol It's a metaphor for lifes everyday problems
Mk1 really dropped the ball by not allowing these two brothers to be the antagonist and protagonist of the new storyline
Sucks they never returned after such an important storyline. Watching MK1 story rn btw
@EvanHelblingYT they had so much potential and looking forward to your next video bro
@@Str8savage87 I think you're over exaggerating due to your nostalgia
@IllMatic97 and I think you entitled to your own opinion just as I am 💯
No one cares about them
My all time favourite fighting game! The Konquest was so brutal and fun to try collect everything! Best part was killing the small enemies on the spikes and knocking body parts off with the hammer! 😂
I got every item but one, idk how I missed it. I also couldn't count how many times the falling rocks killed me haha
You have so my much quality and quantity content it’s insane how you don’t have over 5 million subs
Thankyou man, we’re crawlin up there haha
love the videos man you are super underrated! keep up the great work!
Thankyou man!
Loved the review as always :)
I hope that you'll review 007 everything or nothing (2004) one day ;)
Thankyou! I’m actually thinkin about that one atm, it was so hard to beat as a kid. I’m ready 😤
@@EvanHelblingYT I understand, it has some sequences which are quiet hard. By the way, it has a cover system I never noticed before
The "Santa stop this isn't a chimney" gave me a hearty chuckle and after my day today I needed it. Deception and Armageddon were two of me and my brothers favorite games which we spent a lot of hours beating the hell out of each other on.

Missed opportunity not spelling CONTROVERSIAL with a K in the title
Ahhhhhh no you’re right!!!!
Another absolute banger from Evan Helbling, can he be stopped?
My mf man 🤘 I say no!
As one of the top moloch mains i must admit I’m really addicted to this game
I must apologize for leaving his part out
Thanks for this bro..the midway era was the best
you're welcome bro, thankyou
I watched all your videos last night and I'm convinced we had the same childhood haha, suuuubbed.
Lets gooooo, i’m sure it was a very blockbuster and demo disc childhood haha. Thankyou!
Turn Up!
🧙♀️🍻
Wait!!! You can barrel roll under traps I was trying to time my movement right by running
of course! although it's a maneuver that was only useful against the first traps haha
Crablord? This is where you been? Good to see you man! Great vid, I’ve been on a mortal kombat binge. Glad to see you still making content, mind if I show you an album I made when it’s finished? You’ve been such a huge help for me and I wouldn’t have done anything musically without you, hope you’re doing well and still making music, love this content tho ima binge it.
this video format is awesome, you definitely deserve more subs
Thankyou man!
Great video as usual Evan! This wave of mortal Kombat content has got me nostalgic for the shaolin monks game on the PS2, if you could do a video on that I'd love to see what you'd do with it 😊
Thankyou as usual!! Shaolin Monks is in my library, it will definitely be the next MK game I do!
What a great Saturday night surprise, thank you Evan, much love
Thankyou my man, much love 🤘
I never knew about Haviks character until I watched your Mortal Kombat videos and now I am main him in the newest game!
that's awesome! Definitely one of the coolest characters that needed a return
Maaaan I actually liked this game as a kid I don’t remember it being this shitty 😢
Haven't commented in a bit. Life is nuts, glad to see another classic on your channel. That game is crazy. Loving the videos my guy!
Always good to see ya friend. Life is nuts but it’s goin in a good direction! Appreciate man 🤘
Found you by accident recently and I'm pretty sure I've watched all your videos at this point lmfao
Keep up that good old nostalgia my brother
Yes bro, We've hit 14 minutes! Great video as always!
I'm making a gradual climb in minutes haha, thankyou dude!
Better be careful about that quicksand
It’s a real issue out here I tell ya
Hello Evan, I was wondering, can you introduce the community to the most underrated Rockstar game that nobody's ever heard of? the Warriors (2005) PS2. I appreciate.
Hello Kyle, I like that pitch. I’ll have to take a look at that one. Thankyou lad
OG OMG the most annoying trap filled conquest, yet I still love it.
I was gettin chopped up religiously out there
Ah, right in the nostalgia.
Long time viewer of your channel here. Glad to see your hard work paying off. Keep up the quality content!
Also, would love to see your take on Kingdom Hearts one day lol
thanks for sticking around, I appreciate it! I wanna do Kingdom Hearts badly, the time to beat it is like 80 hours so i'm scared haha
You forgot to mention Rain who's also the son of Argus and half brother of Taven.
Damn you’re right, I never even knew that
Very high quality video considering your sub count. The algorithm will work in your favour soon my man (this appeared on my suggested home page)
Thankyou my man, took a while but i’m lookin forward to it :)
Great work as always brother! Watch out for that damn quicksand
Thankyou my brother! That darn quicksand will surprise ya!
I love you and the videos you make. If you ever stop I will be sad unless it’s cause you’re dead in which case I’ll be one extra level of sad, perhaps two.
My friend I will do my best to become immortal ❤️ I have rituals in mind. Love u, thankyou
@@EvanHelblingYT You fucking better. My great grandkids better be still watching your good shit. Much love Evan
Love your vids! Thanks for the nostalgia. I hope you can do the jak series soon
Thankyou! I’ve never played Jak but I’m definitely gonna do it soon!
@@EvanHelblingYT goated
Your way of making these is so fun. Getting nakeyjakey vibes but with a more handsome voice 😏
Thankyou my man 😎
Can you please do “Scooby Doo Mystery Mayhem” I remember that game being so hard when I played it
The Scooby Doo games will definitely make an appearance
12:37 found them swords in Marvin’s room so take care😂😂
I was going to like, comment, and subscribe...but I fell into quicksand.
Ah I was worried about that… That dastardly quicksand l getcha!
Blaze look like the rock
This was a great vid about one of my favorite childhood games. Thank you, hits home.
thankyou my dude
I’m waiting for you to play a Van Helsing game so we can call you eVan Helbling
ooou I like the sound of that haha
@@EvanHelblingYT I think Darkwatch is a perfect game for you to cover btw. It’s Van Helsing adjacent, a ps2 cult classic. Also my brother worked on it while he was Engine Director at Insomniac Games
Never thought someone would use Timesplitter 2 voices for comedic effect, absolutely legendary
they really fit in every situation haha, thankyou
Could you play toys story 3 for the ps2? Brings back memories
I’ve been scouting that one 👀
Lesser known full title of this game was "MK Armageddon: A Secret Third Thing"
Found your channel earlier today and have already watched a bunch of your videos. Really enjoy just hearing you walk through story modes. I don’t think I ever beat this game as a kid, despite playing it a ton.
Thankyou man, I actually never beat the story either so It was new to me as well
Here before it blows up
"My mother's temple is occupied by lin kuay"
brother this video brought me back to my childhood when i saw you spamming that shoulder tackle
hahaha the 2 fire charge moves were perfect for spamming
Them swords are so far gone it’s for my dogs 12:37 😂
In my area causing mass hysteria. Bars! Again. 😂😂😂 Love this channel.
You got me to bring it back hahah 😂
The best video game channel , period!
You da best 🥹
Personally, I think MK Armageddon was peak MK. Sure, as a fighting game it was kind of janky and the monster characters messed with the game balance, but good lord it was fun.
Replay it and you'll change your mind.
This video is great! Great work!
thankyou!
Greatness 🙌🏾🙌🏾 can’t wait to see what you do next
Thank you bro!
This helped me though the end of my trip. Thank you.
this is fantastic news, you're welcome
@@EvanHelblingYT you just became my favorite RUclipsr ong😭
That was a great video! Not to mention you actually sound like Taven lol You should do Shaolin Monks.
Thankyou! I didn’t notice but i’m glad you said that haha. That one’s on the list forsure
Home run! 😂😂 That baseball hit sound was so perfect.
Haha it was a last second addition 😂
Fun fact neither taven nor dacon won Armageddon.
Shao Kahn did
at least Taven won for like 5 minutes
"Mum's having an episode and Dad's out with the boys"
just before this vid i got an ad saying i got a small
Well I enabled opposite day ads for this video

Evan, you should do a video on Jampacks. They were disks with game demos on them. I played a ton as a kid on the ps2. My dad would always get me them.
Those sound sweet, there’s probly emulated versions I can get
@@EvanHelblingYT Jampack Winter 2002, Jampack Vol 11, and Jampack Summer 2003 I recommend.
