The latest game in the Mortal Kombat series, Mortal Kombat 1, introduced the concept of Kameo Fighters. This gameplay mechanic allows players to select an additional character who will provide an assist during fights. There is a long list of Kameo characters that players can choose from but there is one character that the community hates: Kano.
A popular Mortal Kombat streamer, LOSTyGIRL, recently shared a clip from an online Mortal Kombat 1 game where a toxic player used Kano as a Kameo character, clearly proving that only cheap players like to pick this character. Kano has made an appearance in almost every major Mortal Kombat video game and it’s safe to say that many players are tired of seeing his face.

Kevin Lee’s documentary Unveil The Truth II: State Apparatus won the Grand Prize and best documentary at this year’s Taipei Film Awards, which took place at the close of the Taipei Film Festival on July 19.
The win, which came with a cash award of Nt$1m, marked the fifth consecutive year that the Grand Prize has gone to a documentary.
The jury, headed by Taiwanese producer-director Chen Kuo-fu, said the film maintained an uplifting and humorous tone, while exposing the chaotic madness of government bureaucracy and illustrating the dark side of Taiwanese society.

In an earlier preview here of the just-released Taiwanese baseball film titled “Kano,” this reporter explained that when a high school baseball team from Taiwan was invited to the Japan in 1931 to play in an annual high school tournament, it surprised everyone by reaching the finals — and almost winning. Okay, they came in second, but the story still resonates today in both Taiwan and Japan, and a new movie by first-time director Umin Boya has lit up the scoreboard. Producer Te-sheng Wei, the director of earlier Taiwanese blockbusters “Cape No. 7″ and “Seediq Bale,” also about the influence of Japanese.

Jim Jarmusch's 1989 movie "Mystery Train," financed by a Japanese consortium and executive-produced by two Japanese men, put Jarmusch on the world map and turned the then-22-year-old Masatoshi Nagase, a high-school dropout, into a Japanese star.

The movie is titled "Kano," and it's being produced by Wei Te-sheng, who wrote the script based on a real historical event that rocked...
