Path of Exile 2

Earlier this year, in my review of Last Epoch, I wrote that Path of Exile 2 was going to launch in 2024. Well, the game has officially launched in beta on Friday, December 6, 2024. If you want to play the game … …

ELON MA
x.com

I think by now you’ve all heard that Elon Musk is a liar and cheater. Last year, Musk boasts that he’s ranked top 20 players worldwide on Diablo IV, and that was already suspicious. I personally didn’t believe it, but I didn’t really care or questioned it because, I had stopped playing the game (because it sucks).

Recently, Musk showed off that he’s at level 97 (ranked 13 worldwide) in hardcore mode on Path of Exile 2. How is that possible? Considering that very dedicated players have put in 10 hours a day to grind up to that level, and to see a guy who runs several companies … it’s just not possible. Just the time and effort, it doesn’t add up.

Turns out, Musk hired skilled Chinese players to level up his characters or that he just straight up bought those accounts. The POE2 community have built up a strong case against Musk (now known as Elon Ma).

Musk’s character is on a Hong Kong server

Musk’s account shows “Elon’s Maps” (this suggests other players are playing and not using that particular map)

Musk does not understand weapon levels

Musk does not understand the “four things” on a map

Musk does not understand how to use the magic flask

There are tons of other things, so just do a search. As someone put it, there were many indications that Musk had no idea what he was doing. You can draw the conclusion that he didn’t play the campaign or learned how all the mechanics works. To get to level 97, at that advanced level, it is insane that he does understand basic things.

Anyone who plays Path of Exile 2, like myself, can see right through the lie: that Elon Musk did not play and level up to 97. Famous YouTuber and Twitch streamer Asmongold challenged Musk, “If Elon Musk can prove that he played this account to 97, I will stream on X, starting the day that he proves it, for an entire year straight, every single stream.”

Shortly after, Musk unfollowed Asmongold and removed his blue checkmark and gaming tag. He then leaked Asmongold’s twitter message (which violated Twitter’s terms of service by the way) saying that Asmongold has editors. Of course he has editors, they’re his employees that manages and edits his YouTube accounts.

Later, Musk returned Asmongold’s checkmark, but no gaming tag.

I think what happened is that Musk wanted to impress the gaming communities out there, by showing off his high-level characters, but it backfired in his face when he chose Path of Exile 2. If he had chosen another game, like Mark Kart 8 and saying he’s ranked #15, no one would question it… just like no one questioned it when he claims to be high ranking in Diablo IV.

TikTok
tiktok.com

Ahead of the pending TikTok ban in the United States, many users are panicking and switching over to another Chinese-owned app Little Red Book (named after Mao’s Little Red Book). That app is even worst, in terms of censorship, as many Americans are finding out. According to Washington Post, Little Red Book censors various key words, including “546 nicknames for Chinese leader Xi Jinping”.

I think most Americans don’t realize how dangerous the Chinese Communist Party is. Every company in China is beholden to the CCP… and the parent company of TikTok is ByteDance, a Chinese company with heavy ties to the CCP. Just do a Google search and you’ll find numerous articles and photos of the CCP department working inside ByteDance.

Do you want the Chinese to own your data (even though they probably already have it)? My problem is I don’t want a country to run an app to promote pro-China stories. ByteDance’s other app TopBuzz was exposed for such things, thanks a story by BuzzFeed.

My biggest problem is that China bans so many apps, like Google, search engines, private emails, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, VPN, (anything that they can’t control) … but they have a problem that America is banning TikTok? Give me a break.

Marvel Snap

UPDATE: In compliance with the TikTok ban, Apple and Google have removed the app, as well as Marvel Snap. Turns out the parent company of Marvel Snap is ByteDance, who also owns publisher Nuverse (a subsidiary of ByteDance).

Other apps banned includes Lemon8 and CapCut − Video Editor, according to USA Today. Never heard of the other two.

P.S. Donald Trump vows to save TikTok, even though he tried to get rid of it in 2019.

Marvel Rivals
marvelrivals.com

Someone asked me why I’m not playing Marvel Rivals, the hottest superhero team-based player vs player shooter, based on Marvel characters. First of all, I’m not an online gamer. I don’t enjoy playing against other players, and I’m not competitive and, to be perfectly honest, I’m not good at it.

The second thing is that gamers are saying that after a certain losing streak or at a certain level, to keep players engaged and keep playing, the server will put in A.I. bots in the game so you can easily kill them. They don’t say they’re bots, but I’ve seen the evidence, the game developer is lying to you when they say that all players are real.

The last thing, and the most damning thing, is that the game developer is NetEase, based out of China. Because they are a Chinese company, they brought over the CCP’s censorship to America. For example, you cannot say “Tiananmen Square” (an event that the Chinese government slaughtered a lot of unarmed students), “Free Tibet” (a country that China annexed and took over in the ‘50s and kicked out the Dalai Lama) or “Winnie the Pooh” (ironic that Disney is the owner of Marvel). You can’t even say “1989”, that’s how sensitive the CCP is. Can you believe that? That whole year needs to be censored.

I really think the US Defense Department should put NetEase on the same list that they placed Tencent games on.

I guess at the end of the day, I don’t want to support a game that censors Winnie the Pooh.

Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman (Television Show)

Read More

Zatoichi

If you've never heard of Zatoichi, he's a blind swordsman, who wanders Japan in the Edo period as a masseur (although he seems to make most of his money at dice games). …

Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman
tubitv.com

Do you ever wonder why there are so many Zatoichi films (26 in total)? That’s because it was really meant to be a serial for television, but back in the early sixties, televisions weren’t as common. By the mid-seventies, almost every home in Japan had a television, so Zatoichi continues his adventures in a television show. Between 1974 and 1979, a total of 100 episodes of Zatoichi were produced.

Distribution rights for those television shows were made available on DVD via Tokyo Shock, but they are somewhat hard to find and is expensive for subtitled shows. I have a few of those Zatoichi television shows at home, but gave up on trying to collect the whole 100 episodes.

The cool thing is that you can now stream those Zatoichi shows on Tubi for free as of September 2024. Remember how I own a giant Vizio 65” TV? Tubi is one of the apps on Vizio! This is just perfect. If you don’t have a TV, you can download the free app or watch it via your web browser on your computer.

Since I do own the DVDs, I have watched the first few episodes, but let me tell you - I have no memory of it! It’s good to re-watch the first episode and remind myself of the old television aspect ratio (4:3) and how almost black-and-white and grainy it seems. They must have shot this on cheap film. I wonder if some company might re-master or enhanced the shows to add a little more color and saturation?

If you’re itching for more Zatoichi, you can purchase each film on Amazon for about $4.50 each.

Eye for an Eye 2: Blind Vengeance (2024)

Defiant

Defiant (目中无人), aka Blind Sword, a 2022 Chinese movie, is clearly a rip off of Zatoichi. You know me, I love Zatoichi, I own all of Toho’s films on DVD and Bluray (thanks to the Criterion boxset), and even owning the …

Eye for an Eye 2
amzn.to

I was pretty sure I’ve seen the first movie, yet the title Eye for an Eye 2 didn’t sound familiar. It turns out that I’ve seen the first movie, but it was titled Defiant. Of course, it was also known as Blind Sword… so the film makers didn’t even know what to call the first movie. The film was eventually re-titled to Eye for an Eye: The Blind Swordsman when it was released on Bluray by Wells Go USA.

Just before the new year, Eye for an Eye 2: Blind Vengeance dropped on streaming through Hi-YAH! subscription, and unfortunately, because it came from the source, the film felt like it was heavily censored. There were some moments in the film that just abruptly cut into the next scene. It’s possible that the director isn’t very good and made some bad edits.

The other thing is that the trailer advertised part two as a prequel, which it is not. I wonder if something got lost in translation? If you watch the new film, there is a husband-and-wife kill team recognized the lieutenant and said they served under his direction (indicating that this happened after the first film).

Eye for an Eye 2 starts off with a good action sequence, which sees the blind swordsman kill a bunch of criminals. Then the film flashback and explains how (and why) the blind swordsman ended up there.

While the first film was China’s blatant rip off of Zatoichi, the second film doubles up and also rips off Lone Wolf and Cub. This time, the blind swordsman (I don’t think he’s given a name) is traveling the countryside with a child. The young girl (age 10?) wants revenge for the murder of her brother (?). The father-daughter bounty hunters tracks down all the people who were responsible for her brother’s death.

I find the whole child as an assassin unrealistic. For example, am I to believe that a small child can hold onto an item in a tug of war with a grown man and wins? That’s stupid. Just any scene with the girl fighting, it just looks so stupid. A small child, weighing like fifty pounds, there is absolutely no way can kill a grown man. In fact, any scenes with the girl, I absolutely hated.

I also didn’t like was the inconsistent skills of the blind swordsman. One moment, he’s clearing out a room full of deadly fighters … but in another scene he’s bumbling around and walking into tables. It doesn’t make any sense! I know they had those scenes for comedy relief, but I would take it out! That tone doesn’t belong in this serious movie.

The last thing is that the final boss feared the child assassin. He’s shaking! What??!? It’s a small kid, can’t you defend yourself against a small child? Then later he faces the blind swordsman, and he’s confident and becomes a masterful fighter that can stand his grounds against the blind swordsman. Again, it’s inconsistent.

The only thing good about Eye for an Eye 2 are the fight sequences. I think those scenes are done very well.

If they are going to make a Eye for an Eye 3, I hope they kill off the kid right away and that sets up a revenge plot. You don’t need a story, it’s all action and kills. Also, make use of more darkness/turning out the lights scenes, it’s always a hoot to see Zatoichi take advantage of darkness… it also leaves it up to the viewers’ imagination and saves on budget!

Shaw Brothers Classics: Volume Four

Read More

Shaw Brothers

Now enter Shout Factory, who also has a Shaw Brothers boxset in the works, set for release on June 13, 2023. They are releasing 11 titles, with special features yet to be announced. …

As promised, here are my thoughts on the fourth, and final, Shout Factory’s excellent Shaw Brothers Classics boxsets. By far, in my opinion, this is the best set, because by the early/mid-80s the Shaw directors and writers have finetuned the kung fu movie genre.

Collected here is my favorite Shaw Brothers director Chang Cheh and his last film for the company, Five Element Ninjas (aka Super Ninjas). I’ve previously mentioned that this is my favorite Venoms film, although it’s technically not a Venoms film, as by this point in time, the Venoms have largely disbanded. Still, I considered it a Venoms, because it contains many of the tropes in a classic Venoms film.

The commentator, who described the film as Chang Cheh’s greatest hits remix, because it was. It was like Cheh knew this was his last film, so he made his greatest film… This film has it all. From his macho bare-chested heroes to wu-sha weapons (the Alliance heroes had these Swish Army Knife weapons!) to training film to epic final fight. In fact, the last 45 minutes of the film is just fight after fight after fight… until the hero sacrifices himself to take out the final boss. If you have to see one Shaw Brothers film, Five Element Ninjas is the one to see.

There’s a few other Venoms classics, like the “whodunnit” Masked Avengers and House of Traps (not my favorite film).

Unfortunately, Shaw Factory does not have the rights for Five Deadly Venoms or Crippled Avengers (aka Return of the Five Deadly Venoms), so you’ll need to get Arrow Videos’ Shaw Scope boxset.

I would love it if Shout and Arrow get together and co-release an ultimate Venoms Boxset. Boy, even though I already own all these films, I would definitely reconsider buy the Venoms set again!

I love these old kung fu films, so naturally, I had to get all the Shaw Brothers releases… For many years, we only had bootleg VHS, or had to important Region 3 DVD… but in the last five years, we finally started seeing some rare Shaw Brothers in proper Bluray 1080p full HD.

If you’re a big fan, as I am, and want collect everything (four Shout Factory sets, two Arrow Videos sets, plus a variety of single releases), you’re looking to spend around $1,000!

It wouldn’t be so bad if it was spread out in five or six years… but it is crazy that we’re getting all these films in two years (Shawscope in 2022 and Shaw Brothers Classics in 2023). If you’re a Shaw fan, what a moment to be alive!

Anyway, now that I’ve completed my Shaw Brothers set, I am very happy to have these films in my library… but my wallet is definitely lighter. If there are more Shaw releases in 2024… I’m probably not going to be first in line, but wait for a sale.

Shaw Brothers Classics: Volume Three

Shaw Brothers

Now enter Shout Factory, who also has a Shaw Brothers boxset in the works, set for release on June 13, 2023. They are releasing 11 titles, with special features yet to be announced. …

I own all four Shout Factory’s excellent Shaw Brothers Classics boxsets, volume one to four. The company have aggressively released each boxset, starting in June, then August, then October, and finally in December. I believe the fourth boxset is the last of this Classics boxset.

Each set contains about 12 films, so you’re getting a little under 50 titles … so many films, so little time! In total, at about $150 per boxset, you’re spending about $600 to complete this collection.

I have been meaning to talk about each set… so get ready for my breakdown of the third boxset.

Up until now, this is my favorite so far. My favorite Shaw Brothers era is the 80s, because by this time, the Shaw Brothers directors and actors have learned what works and what doesn’t work and refined their kung-fu movies to the best they can produce. So many good movies from this time period (much of it will be seen in the fourth boxset).

Most of the third boxset are Shaw Brothers from the late 70s. The only 1980 film on here is Clan of the White Lotus, by far, my favorite thanks to Gordan Liu.

There are some good ones in this collection, I have always loved Killer Clans, which is one of the early re-mastered releases from Celestial.

I am also a fan of Shaolin Avengers, only because it’s another Chang Cheh joint.

With all Shaw Brothers films, they’re shot on “Shawscope”, which is 2.35:1. What that means is if you are viewing the film on an Ultrawide monitor, like my Alienware monitor… it fits perfectly. Most modern Widescreen will have black bars on the side of the monitor when displayed on Ultrawide. So if you have an extra wide monitor, Shaw Scope was made for you!

These Shaw Brothers Classics are essential to get if you’re a kung fu fan. Many of these films have never been available on Bluray in America (some of these I already own via UK’s 88 Films), and if you want to support this kind of films, and if you can afford it, buy it and vote with your wallet.

Anyway, just a quickie, we’ll talk more Chang Cheh and Venoms in the four boxset (which is the best one to get).

Shaw Brothers

Now enter Shout Factory, who also has a Shaw Brothers boxset in the works, set for release on June 13, 2023. They are releasing 11 titles, with special features yet to be announced. …

Arrow Videos will be releasing three new Shaw Brothers collections… just in time for the Christmas holiday.

Shaw Brothers Presents: The Basher Box

Shaw Brothers Presents: Four Films by Lau Kar-Leung

Shaw Brothers Presents: Four Films by Chang Cheh

In my previous reviews of Shaw Brothers Blurays, I mentioned that the massive boxsets are too expensive. So, breaking up the boxsets to mini-collections, such as Four Films by Chang Cheh makes a whole lot of sense to me. And pricing is fair, at $50 (retail) vs the $200 asking price of the original boxset.

As a diehard Shaw Brothers fan, I would love to buy all of these, but since I already own the original two Arrow’s Shaw Scope Boxsets - there is really no good reasons for me to re-buy these films again.

If you didn’t buy the original boxsets, I think these three releases are a good value (especially the Chang Cheh set as it contains one of my favorites Crippled Avengers).

If you already own the boxsets and have the extra cash, I say go ahead and get them, as it’s currently being sold for $30 each.

The three Shaw Brothers collections come out December 12th, 2023.

Since we’re on topic, the Shaw Brothers Classics boxsets from Shout Factory will be getting all their films in four boxsets (each $170 retail) in 2023 (the last one drops December 19, 2023). I suspect that in 2024, Shout Factory may breakup some of these films in smaller collections. So if you can’t afford all four boxsets, you should wait it out. Me personally? I prefer to have all the films in the boxsets… but I would’ve liked them to space out the releases. Buying about 100 Shaw Brothers films in one year is a little too much for me… in terms of watching them all and spending too much money!

If money is a problem, some Shaw Brothers films are available for streaming for free on Amazon Prime … Current Prime prices are $139 a year. I have never considered paying for Prime, but since I’m on the family plan on my brother’s Prime account, I don’t think I can live without Prime now. Think about it, you get free two-day shipping (sometime same-day shipping) on all your orders… plus other perks like Prime Video. If my brother stops paying for Prime, I will have to pick up the tab, because I can’t live without it now.

Atarashii Gakko!

Japanese all-girl group Atarashii Gakko!, the known as the full Japanese name as Atarashii Gakkou no Leaders (新しい学校のリーダーズ), translated to mean “The New School Leaders”. ....

J-Pop all-girls group Atarashii Gakko! (新しい学校のリーダーズ and stylized as ATARASHII GAKKO!) just wrapped up their first-ever North American tour… stopping by the Amsterdam Bar & Hall, in St Paul, on Thursday night (November 16).

This was a sold-out show, meaning that when you first arrive to the venue, you had to get in line. The line goes up a flight of stairs in the building… so we were directed to take the elevator to the sixth floor and then find the line on the stairs. It’s an awkward way waiting to get in the door… but it beats standing outside in the winter.

There was also no opening band, so there was a long wait time until the show begins. The dance floor quickly filled up with eager young fans who rush to the front of the stage for a good viewing spot. Many of them brought idol lights or were dressed up with the Atarashii Gakko’s official socks.

Since there was such a long wait time, some fans brough balloons with LED micro blinking lights and had some fun bouncing it around. When it ultimate pop, there was a huge gasp from the audience. Fear not, another balloon would soon go.

Atarashii Gakko finally came on stage and the crowd went wild. The “New School Leaders” are four girls: Mizyu, the cute but fierce one, Rin, the funky one, Suzuka, the glass-wearing wildcard, and Kanon, the graceful one.

As with these K-Pop/J-Pop/T-Pop bands, it’s not so much the catchy pop songs, but it’s all about the dance choregraph. It’s really a visual show with some crazy dance moves and sometime it’s acrobatic!

The fans are passionate and enthusiastic, often singing along or participating whenever the band would take a moment to ask the crowd questions… such as “Do you know Japan?”

If you are not familiar with Korean Pop or Japanese Pop groups, you should do yourself a favor and attend a show (if it’s not sold out yet). You’ll have as much fun watching the show as it is to experience it with their fanbase.

Update 11/21: Photos were finally approved.

Yeule

Singaporean songwriter and producer Nat Ćmiel, or otherwise known by the stagename Yeule, will be headlining the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis this October 9th. Yeule’s new album softscars will be out on September 22nd via Ninja Tune. .…

Sasami

Los Angeles-based artist Sasami (stylized as SASAMI) is returning to the area, at the Amsterdam Bar & Hall in St Paul on Saturday, April 20th. SASAMI’s debut self-titled album is available for pre-order now .…

Singaporean songwriter and producer Yeule (aka Nat Ćmiel) headlined the Fine Line Music Café, in Minneapolis, on Columbus Day, October 9th.

According to both Sasami and Yeule, the band almost didn’t make it to Minneapolis, as their tour bus broke down in Omaha, Nebraska, early in the morning of October 9th. In an emergency, they could only get a Toyota Corolla rental… which you would know is considerably smaller than a traditional tour bus. Everyone is cramped in the small car, with their instrumentals packed in a U-Haul trailer.

Somehow they were able to make it to the show, perhaps a tad later than they had anticipated, but they were happy to be in Minneapolis, at the Fine Line.

Sasami (02 Apr 2022)

Opening the show was Sasami, playing solo. She’s normally with a metal band called Barishi (all of this was previously mentioned in Apr 2022: “Sasami came on stage slightly later than advertised. She’s dressed up in this outfit, and her live band is Vermont’s metal band Barishi.”

She confessed that she was nervous, not having a band to “hide behind.” Since she has to play guitar and serves as a one-woman-show, she decided that she was going to “experiment” with brand new songs that have never been released. Perhaps some of these songs will make it in a future album.

Shortly after Sasami exited the stage, Yeule came on stage, dressed in raggy white outfit, with Sasami and a drummer, also dressed in the same theme.

The trio wasted no time in kicking off their set with “bloodbunny”.

When Yeule put on her guitar for “4ui12”, she realized that “Someone stole my guitar picks.” Personally speaking, I do have some guitar picks in my wallet (I’ve bought them from merch or were given to me). Someone in front must’ve given her some picks, so the band could play.

You find out later that Yeule has never been to “this part of America” before. She’s referring to the Midwest, which is pretty expansive with long stretches of rolling hills and empty spaces. Basically, a lot of nothing, until you hit a major city, such as Minneapolis or Chicago.

It did sound like Yeule is enjoying her time in America, despite car breaking down and other hiccups in their tour.

Yeule’s new album softscars is out now on Ninja Tune.
