Haha it's a video.

That article got hits because it was a carcrash that people wanted to laugh at.

It wasn't the brave new, post-feminist viewpoint you offered that drew people in.

Why are people talking to Pranky like he's a real person with, like, feelings and stuff?

Unlikely

Correct, Kow and I are both highly intelligent.Â And we both think you are a bellend.Â CALCULATE THAT, MOTHERFUCKER.

'people mocked, derided and humiliated me! mission accomplished!'

It's still not very good. Diluted Dante Productions would follow the same line of thought, but still be a crap name.

re-play kind of went somewhere.

Â Â£20k for 6 months running costs. Â having said that though, i don't think there is much of a "future" left for re-play, as ad revenue has really taken a nose-dive over the last few months (making a free games magazine unsustainable), and mobile (roaming) devices ensure that people are now able to filter their own content and read it on their mobiles, and therefore don't need a print magazine. i guess some of the issues which re-play is facing is also something that edge faces. Â but whilst i don't/didn't have the clout to make re-play a going concern, future does. Â as to whether edge is able to adapt to the digital age is anyones guess, but seeing that their community (including some extremely loyal members - of which i was for a very long time) has decided to camp here, just goes to show that they haven't been able to successfully meld both the online and offline aspect of their brand.

Pranky, that was two and a half years ago. Two and a half years.

Don't. Just write for it. Find other people who want to write for it as well. You've been faffing with the structural side of the website for years now. Leave it, and add some content.

i gather you liked the interview with zico chain? Â i just kind of got the impression that my work (content/opinions etc) was unappreciated.

There was no mental shit in it. You interviewed a band I'd never heard of, asked generally sensible questions, and elicited some interesting answers that kept me reading it.

presently, i am working on two podcasts... Â i've done several interviews for each now, and look to make the podcasts more like "a life well wasted". i know some people didn't like my first podcast - but that is because i didn't really take the time to sort out all the ahhs and uhmms from the audio. Â i just wanted something out there - regardless of quality. Â the important thing for me at the time was to have my own podcast. Â since then, i've done a course on podcasting, and have bought better (second hand) equipment - although i can't get the mic to work through the mixer at present, and still need better headphones - which is probably a good thing, as it means that i haven't been able to dish out the kind of "shit" which i am renowned for Â i have to go now. Â i have a really big day ahead of me...

Whilst I can't speak for the podcast as I never listened to it, I rememberÂ the comments at the time, and it seemed to be more than just not editing out ahhs and uhmms. Still though, the fact that you just wanted to produce something and get it out there is totally fine, but you've not followed it up. I also remember the description, which goes back to my point about your lack of a filter. "Where I get to talk shit, and you get to listen". Also having gone to the page now, the Roosevalt quote. Seriously?

No, I said the piece was misogynistic.Â I don't know you well enough to able to know that conclusively.Â The evidence to date is compelling though.

Prankster101 wrote:

but let's be honest: some women still have no objection in being viewed as objects.Â they still want guys to pay for them, even thought they masquerade and pose as nu-age "feminists" seeking equality in society.Â i don't have a problem with that.

They want guys to 'pay' for them?Â In what context?Â In the booth-babe context?Â So in addition to promoting the brand or company whose mark they wore, they were also offering to prostitute themselves to show-goers then?Â Perhaps it was to be a bob-a-job type arrangement.Â Amazing.Â Also, you're describing different groups and sort of lumping them together.Â Women who wish to be objectified are not necessarily 'nu-age' feminists.Â I assume you spoke to them at length and they insisted that they were to be taken seriously as professional, capable women despite their attire and that is what you're basing this on.

Prankster101 wrote:

but they're still selling their bodies... i don't see how what i said is necessarily offensive or misogynistic.

The terms 'rape bait' and 'failed pornstars' are inarguably mysogynistic in this context (and most likely any other context, unless they are in fact a failed pornstar).Â They were employed for promotional purposes and apparently this somehow suggests that they are asking to be sexually assaulted and/or they were unable to make a go of it having sex on film for money.Â This startling insight was worth an entire article, hm?Â As Stewart Lee said, "Ah.Â The vaulting ambition of the writer".

In the last 2 and a half years I've worked on, hmm, I think 3 or 4 published games?
Pranky started a thing and never finished it and still complains about "lack of recognition".
lulz.

I fairly confidently predict that the B&B podcast and blog or whatever comes about from all this will outstrip the amount of content Pranky has generated in 3 years in about, ooh, say 3 months to be generous. If it then reliably continues to produce content, it will garner the kind of "recognition" that Pranky is so desperate for within, I dunno, a year or two.

If you build it, they will come, then go away again.Â
If you write it, they may read.
If you continue to write it, they may continue to read, and more people may come, and they might hang about a bit.

S'right, Dante has a long way to go before confidently rubbing shoulders with that kind of company.

Pranky's comments beguile me in the same as when my cat throws up.

I shouldn't watch but it's just so damn bizarre that I have to.

EvilRedEye

When my cat pukes it just makes me feel sad and a little ill.

Brooks

The little backwards shuffle mine do while vomiting is a bit impressive.

They'd avoid the entire ordeal if they but remembered to eat at a sensible speed.

Which, coincidentally, is how Pranky's comments make me feel.

Unlikely

I think that was his point.

Kow

Dogs eat their puke immediately afterwards. That's more reminiscent of Prankyshit.

monkey

My dog did a puke once ages ago that everyone thought was rubbish.

Then it never stopped going on about it and saying how other dogs weren't interested in his puke and that their puke was no good. No matter what you asked it, its responses would always be the same.Â

Its a strange, bitter creature that deserves sympathy and ridicule in equal measure.

Petey

Subtle.

THE DOG IS PRANKSTER!!

Euthanise it.
