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. 

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?  

Yeah, Tim saw some of my stuff. Chris (Person) did too. Tim didn’t really build as much as I did though, so I didn’t catch many of his things. I made a real point of it: a bridge outside of the first city, a silly message near a plot-ruined bike, the aforementioned ziplines.

As I understand it, the game sort of culls

God, this review is amazing. Thanks Heather (and also Tim for the video). Curious though, did you ever encounter Tim’s creations on your server or vice versa?

wild that the first good video game ever made also generated the best game review i’ve ever read

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

Martin Scorses is such a great director, it almost makes me not think for a second about what an absolute shitheel and incompetent Jim Spanfeller is.
