That’s not what I saw on Hero (the Kimura Takuya drama). Are you telling me J-dramas lied to me about the criminal justice system in Japan?

Wow, an Asian male with a Caucasian female. That’s so progressive and thoughtful and meaningful to the AM/CF couples out there! 

I was under the impression that prosecutors have a lot of authority on what goes to trial. So it’s really how much you can convince the prosecutors if you’re guilty or not rather than a court/judge.

A lot of people don’t realize that Phoenix Wright is supposed to be satire. When Phoenix has to defend clients who were arrested on the grounds of “happened to wander by the scene of the crime” yet still has the whole courtroom stacked against him, that’s because the Japanese court system does not like the idea of…

The way it tends to work in Japan is that once the police arrest you for something like murder, you are essentially presumed guilty and there is a very very small chance you will later be found innocent. This is not uncommon in Japan. The police have built a rock solid case before the defendant or his representation…

Oh, Japan is pretty well known for having its own brand of effed up in its prison system.

If I loved the first game despite having essentially the same infuriating flaws, it sounds like I might like this one too. The remaster had the DLC included, which had those atrocious stealth missions in spades. And the other frustrations mentioned were there too. It sounds, essentially, like they remade the original…

It is. Her weight changes but not her air resistance. Objects only fall at the same speed in a vacuum. A pound of feathers DOES fall slower than a pound of lead.

I wonder if Attack on Titan is to blame. And what about the motive of the stairs? Maybe they were just tired of being walked all over.

YES!!! All the stars!

This. Everything.

Have a star. Bravo!

Mind if I steal this?

I have literally nothing to add to this other than the following:

Can we please just stop acting surprised that the DNC supported the candidate who had been a Democrat for decades over the one who had joined the party just for that election? No fucking shit they did.

Can we just shut down Kotaku and have every article redirect to the Reddit posts that they were taken from?

POSTGAME SPOILERS: Wicke was an undercover informant for the International Police.

Just pre-ordered Yakuza 0 from Amazon a few days ago. I know, I know, don’t preorder games—but the Yakuza titles have consistently been awesome, and I want to encourage Sega to keep bringing them to the West.

Also, 1980's Kiryu seems primed to deliver some excellent ass-beatings (and his popped collar look will…

Uh? Cecilia has posted numerous thoroughly researched and sourced articles that are immensely even-handed.

That’s your MO and that’s fine, but I feel it is likely they are aware of these projects and do not put a stop to them early for multiple reasons. I’m not saying it’s out of pure benevolence, though. It’s just as likely they don’t want to waste resources on lawyers issuing cease and desist orders to every little…
