  • The Mag highlighted Mortal Kombat as a worthy entry to this list. For a game known for its almost-cartoonish violence and iconic Finish Him catchphrase, The Mag thinks Mortal Kombat should be “finished”.

  • Son talked about the recent bad haircut trends of bowl cuts as now being out and we wholeheartedly agree.
  • Magz talked about 80’s movies with bad dancing as being out.
