Guys, yuukaku is just as much as a euphemism in Japanese as kanrakugai. Both can be literally translated as “play enclosure” and “pleasure quarter.” This is a non-story. 

“People watch stuff on their phones because they *have to*.”
Not my kids or their friends. For the life of me, my 39 year-old self can’t understand why they don’t watch stuff in the living room, but they’ll watch YouTube (mainly 10-minute segments) and The Office for hours on their damn phones. So while my tastes agree…

“Oh my God, you killed IG-11! You bastard!”

I know this isn’t The Root, and doesn’t have much to do with adorable Yodlings, but can we talk about how wonderfully brown The Madalorian is? John Beasley (Omahaaaa), Pedro Pascal, Horatio Sanz, Carl Weathers, Omid Abtahi, Julia Jones, and Taika Waititi with Giancarlo Esposito and Ming-Na Wen soon to arrive.

I can’t…

I’m kind of hoping there’s a new IG-11 unit that shows up in each episode and the Mando kills each of them in different ways.

Yeah... this isn’t the Virginian.

It’s gonna be Lone Wolf and Cub.

1. That baby is forking adorable and I’ll take 100.

Yes, those people are boring as shit.

Then go the fuck somewhere else. 

I couldn’t figure out a way to work it into my own initial comment, but I agree with this a lot. As much flak as Kotaku (and games journalism in general, which is really weird to me) gets sometimes, as many times as they have missteps, I keep coming back not just for news, but because the writers often put thought…

Excellent reply and what you mention about the Athletic rings 100% true. Intelligent media for the last 20 years is in decline, just as it is with print media.

The first good video game?  

You get out of here with that Kre-O nonsense right now. 

I’m absolutely devastated we lost Deadspin, but I am here for this kind of coverage on Jezebel. Rugby men for the win! 

Yep, solidarity for the deadspin folks!

Jezspin forever
