  • Black Myth - Wukong Review

    Black Myth - Wukong Review
    Oct 5 2024
    Black Myth: Wukong is an action-RPG based on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. The game features fast-paced combat inspired by the abilities of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, including shapeshifting, magical attacks, and a combo system. The story is set after the original novel and features familiar characters, though the narrative is largely self-contained and might be challenging for those unfamiliar with Journey to the West. While the game shines in its boss battles, the sections in between are often lacking in engaging content, featuring linear level design, a dearth of enemies, and some frustrating gameplay elements. Despite these flaws, Black Myth: Wukong is praised for its impressive visuals and the unique experience it offers as a boss-focused game.

    The Real-Life Story That Inspired Netflix's 'Rez Ball
    Oct 4 2024
    The Netflix movie "Rez Ball" is inspired by real-life experiences on the Navajo reservation, specifically drawing from the book "Canyon Dreams" about the Chinle High School Wildcats, and director Sydney Freeland's own experiences playing basketball growing up on the reservation. While not a direct adaptation of either source, "Rez Ball" draws upon themes of community, resilience, and the importance of basketball in Native American culture. The film portrays the fictional Chuska Warriors, a high school basketball team navigating tragedy and their own expectations, highlighting both the struggles and triumphs faced by individuals and communities within the reservation.
