Once a week I take a group of 8 boys down to Youth Inc (basically a place for kids to hang out instead of causing trouble on the streets) to play pool and the video game consoles. The last few weeks one of my students has been bringing in Mortal Kombat 9 to play on the XBox One there. Nothing gains the respect of teenagers more than when you kick the crap out of every single one of them time and time again in a video game - they think it's awesome! Give me Jade or Sonya Blade and I own the streets

I cant remember any of the special moves but I've been playing MK on and off since the very first one on the Super Nintendo, so a few decades of experience seems to beat remembering how to throw Scorpions spear
