From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

The Mortal Kombat series was arguably the original outlet for this, its cut-scene fatalities being diabolically gruesome and occasionally quite ingenious in their set-ups.
With the latest title, Mortal Kombat X, developers NetherRealm has really outdone itself however. Here's all of them back-to-back, courtesy of some deranged hero on YouTube (Obviously despite being animation this is incredibly, utterly, unbearably NSFW):
And the GIFs (I'm sorry)
This time around, PS4, Xbox One and PC players can look forward to such fatalities as 'ripping out a rib cage then stuffing it in someone's face' and 'grinding someone's head off with a sombrero'.
The designers are clearly pretty self-aware and verging towards self-parody now, with Cassie Cage's finishers seeing her stop to pose for a selfie with the corpse and stem a spurt of blood from the forehead of an opponent with some chewing gum.
God help us if and when Mortal Kombat makes the jump to VR.
