TYM owner Storms has been running a series of podcasts featuring personalities from the NRS community, and our very own Shock has been featured in 3 so far! They talk about the MK scene over the last 25 years, UMK3’s rise to legitimacy, and the tournament scene that resulted. Check them out here:

New Year’s Updates for KN
We’re shaking things up a bit and adding more weekly streams in attempt to give the Network the meaning it was always meant to have and our local streamers exposure. Mikemetroid and Ghenry have been holding it down for some time now, but we’re adding more event staff KN members Eviler and SaGe. Expect some Mario Kart 8, Overwatch, DBFZ and more.
In addition, Shock will be doing some retro console streams for NES and SNES with newly modded RGB systems by Jose Cruz using the OSSC upscaler. No emulation needed. Shock now has almost 1000 carts to choose from across many old games, so if retro is your deal, come help him beat the old games he never got to play, and body the ones you never could cause he’s old.
You can follow their personal channels with KN stream schedules pending:
