🤨 Square Enix rolled out a FREE weekend on Steam for KILLER INN, playable until 19:00 MSK, April 13.

The game is an asymmetric online shooter, gunplay mixed with social‑deduction in a spooky castle: stealthy "wolves" vs surviving "lambs", where anyone nearby can be the killer. Peak online was under 1000 players, so don't expect this promo to miraculously fix its numbers.

#Movies #ActionHeroes . . .

We male #AAPI #ChineseAmericans have few positive male movie icons or heroes.

For us #Boomer Chinese-Americana, this was #BruceLee, who died far too young. Not only did he have a white wife, he was a "bad dude" & dispelled the negative sexual stereotypes of Asian men that still exist.

While I don't think he's the greatest Asian hero of all time, as the following article suggests, #ChowYunFat was a successor to Bruce & his partnership with John Woo is akin to that between Mifune & Kurosawa but while significant within the genre of Asian action films, far less groundbreaking than the Japanese collaboration was.

In any event, if you never seen #HardBoiled, #ABetterTomorrow & #Killer, you should make the effort to do so, because they are ground breaking movies in the modern #HongKongMovie genre & are essential to a full understanding of Asian action films.
