8 More Biggest Gaming Jerks

3. Shao Kahn (Mortal Kombat)

Shao Kahn I'd be willing to bet that Shao Kahn is responsible for more than his fair share of broken controllers, particularly in the newest installment in the franchise. After slogging your way through multiple opponents intent on disembowelling or decapitating you (or sometimes both), you finally get to challenge the man that is Hell-bent on ruling Earthrealm. Then he destroys you. It's pretty much as simple as that. Shao Kahn deals massive amounts of damage with every move he hits and takes less damage from your moves than normal opponents. Trying to get up close and personal is a good way to end up flat on your back, hearing his maniacal laugh as you wonder how the hell you're supposed to beat him. However, Shao Kahn is not content in just giving you a physical pasting - he also stops mid-fight to insult you. He will literally just stop midway through grinding your bones into dust just to tell you that you suck or that he pities you. Then, he continues the assault. The more times he defeats you, the weaker he gets but in order to have any real chance, you will have to die multiple times. this means that when you do finally beat him, the victory is slightly tainted by the number of losses you had to rack up to achieve it. All of these reasons are proof that Shao Kahn is a real b**tard.

In my free time, I can usually be found in my darkened living room, playing video games or watching movies. I tend to work a lot of night shifts so my out-of-whack body clock is built for such hobbies. Feel free to drop me a tweet at @callummcewan.
