He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright
He checked off his equipment and made sure his pack was tight;
He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar,
"You ain't gonna jump no more!"

(CHORUS)
Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die,
Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die,
Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die,
He ain't gonna jump no more!

"Is everybody happy?" cried the Sergeant looking up,
Our Hero feebly answered "Yes," and then they stood him up;
He jumped into the icy blast, his static line unhooked,
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

(CHORUS)

He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock,
He felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt the awful drop,
The silk from his reserve spilled out and wrapped around his legs,
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

(CHORUS)

The risers swung around his neck, connectors cracked his dome,
Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones;
The canopy became his shroud; he hurtled to the ground.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

(CHORUS)

The days he'd lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind,
He thought about the girl back home, the one he'd left behind;
He thought about the medics and wondered what they'd find,
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

(CHORUS)

The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild,
The medics jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their sleeves and smiled,
For it had been a week or more since last a 'chute had failed,
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

(CHORUS)

He hit the ground, the sound was "Splat," his blood went spurting high,
His comrades then were heard to say: "A helluva way to die!"
He lay there rolling round in the welter of his gore,
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

(CHORUS)

(slowly, solemnly)
There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the chute,
Intestines were a'dangling from his Paratrooper suit,
He was a mess; they picked him up, and poured him from his boots,
And he ain't gonna jump no more
Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die,
Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die,
Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die,
He ain't gonna jump no more!

"Now, you go over there.."
*honk!* *splat*

>> ^ant:
Ha, like they can fix the traffics. Try L.A. One wouldn't survive 1 minute! Teehee!

Gotta suck to get hit by that one.. splat

I guess they edited out all the SPLATS

Yeah if you pause the video right before he hits the ground, there's a frame or two where he's not in the air or on the ground.

Still, the SPLAT sound effect made it worth the watch for me.

It's funny you mention that one, it's by far my favorite. He looks like a human spit-wad that went splat and started sliding down.

splat.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Why did I laugh at that? I feel cruel. I think it was the little "splat" sound the lady made as she squished her camera while trying to get to her boyfriend who just fell off his machine.

unpredictable?

its really simple.

Unfortunately for some of you, I must point out that part of the reason things have been shitty is because of how crappy the MK games have been. Ever since MK3 and beyond, ALL of the fatalities have been SHIT.

I mean it. MK:DA has some fun gameplay and they tried to go back to their roots, but they still failed to make blood look good in 3D. However, having it stay was definitely fun, but they should have removed it at the beginning of every fatality.

Midway just can't make a Mortal Kombat game anymore because NO ONE REMEMBERS WHAT MADE MORTAL KOMBAT A GOOD GAME IN THE FIRST PLACE!

If they'd just do some really thoughtful, unique, shocking gore with some similarly non-cookie-cutter combat along with stage fatalities that aren't all boring bullshit like the new ones, such as re-doing impalement and adding realtime interaction with making the opponent get impaled, decals for entry wound/exit wound, arterial spray and blood gobs spraying out on contact with a new graphic of blood dripping out through the exit wound, blood smearing on clothing/spikes/etc, animated decals for bleeding wounds from impalement, actually decent blood splat animations for contact with the ground similar to the way it used to be in the 2D days).... and much more... I think people would actually be interested again.

Basically, THIS level of detail is what is LACKING in these new games! It's all cookie-cutter crap that's just recycled over and over, like some bullshit yearly football game!

I once had an idea of mine get implemented into a game. It was called Blood, and was developed by Monolith Software.

Initially their blood didn't make any contact with the ground, and just disappeared. I hate that. I was in the closed beta, and I sent them an email telling them the importance of having blood always make contact with the ground. I gave them an example of how shitty it is when that happens by mentioning Primal Rage and it's console ports. I also mentioned that due to it being developed on the Build engine, they'd have to match or exceed Duke Nukem 3-D's gore in order to be successful.

They then actually did it. It looked good. Unfortunately, sometimes in the game there's an arterial spray when you shoot someone and the way it worked wasn't compatible with such animations. Some higher-up scrapped it. It would have been better to have just dropped it on the arterial spray, but oh well.

They also implemented the ability to kick a decapitated head around in multiplayer due to my suggestion. I told them that Hexen had set a precedent that they had to live up to. It involved actually programming some kind of scripted physics-like behavior for the head being kicked/rolling, but they actually did it.

Back then you could actually talk to developers and maybe even get your idea heard. These days, all that ever happens is a large group assembles, money is the goal, artists have really gay ideas about how thing should look (in MK's example, at least), designers don't notice things like how shitty it looks when Scorpion's spear goes into someone's throat in the next-gen Mortal Kombat game, and it seems like no one ever actually says anything about how shitty the game they're working on is.

Agree! I just love to see the elephants rage against their opressers! they´re like: "Fuck this! *BANG* Fuck that! *BANG* Fuck you! *splat* You can kill me, I don´t care! This is the best moment of my life!!!"

I was waiting for the big red "SPLAT"

Wow, what a splat sound at the end.

Awe Crap, I just had to pick my jaw and my internal organs off the floor. I can't believe he got up - in shock I'd say.

He is lucky he hit the side of the car. A second sooner he would have been splat!
