Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios has released a new gameplay trailer for Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, and it puts the spotlight on Rambo, who is now a playable character in the game! This marks the second time a villain has made the leap to the Mortal Kombat franchise since 1998's Mortal Kombat Trilogy.

As you can see in these screenshots, Rambo doesn't greatly change, footoman looks a bit more sinister, and the Ninja Clan sprite is on the ground a little less. However, the size of his fists and how he holds them and his fighting style strongly indicate that he is a cyborg!

The similarities between the Mortal Kombat series and other video games weren't lost on NetherRealm Studios, as Chief Creative Officer Ed Boon revealed that the developers were "co-op strategists" when they created Rambo. Rambo in Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate looks more menacing, specializes in hand-to-hand combat to take you out of the PS3 first person shooter, and his attire reveals techy capabilities.

Executive Producer Ed Boon said his team "sometimes goes back and refined the graphics for crime fighting games that weren't as sleek and awesome as the gaming consoles, which I think is really cool – to look at that, and say it's a version of something that I loved when I was a kid."

David Wain said, "Creativity shows. This is certainly a trend. Will it go away? No. But it shows there's a groundswell of creativity. If something you love happens to kind of tap into them, it comes out really cool."

Since all of the MK fans have been debating (while trying to not lose their shit) if this was a good move to include Rambo, I thought I would ask if its a good idea to include Spidey now? Let us know your thoughts, and leave Rambo the heck out of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon!

U.S. space agency NASA in 2013 took on a research challenge to develop drones that will carry high-resolution terrestrial cameras to 20-kilometer (12.4-mile) altitude. This created a gap of strong competition as India beat away at the top of it.

One such challenge is studying the characteristics of the "lossless compression" technique for retrieving digital video in flight. With the line-out lifted for the first time by engineers at NASA's Langley Research Center (RRC), engineers at the University of Pennsylvania's Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa appear to be a step ahead of their Indian counterparts in developing extremely reliable and efficient techniques.
