    -Dolf Lundberg is Swedish but considering how long hes been living in the states you might as well call him american.

    -Weird emails are weird…

    -Akbar dialogs are awesome.

  2. Mr. Timms says:

    I haven’t listened yet, but I’d like to know what happened to the daemonic erotica. You read a short sample of it, then everything about it disappeared. I mean, the last one might have counted, since the line between vampire and demon is blurred, and Edward did knock Bella up, but come on! You need to continue.

  3. Joshua J Steinberg says:

    Cant you just go to LiveJournal so that the people who likes non weird episodes can get their due?

  4. Mr. Timms says:

    In case you didn’t know, Villainy Inc is a weird podcast, with weird people, talking about weird things. I don’t know about you, but if I didn’t like weird episodes, I would get off the site right away. Go take your contraryist judgmentalism somewhere else, troll.

  5. Ollie says:

    Je suis avec J. on this one (French makes things smart, oui?). Yeah, they’re all weird, but the Daemon Erotica was a different kind of weird.

    俺が「チィモンエロチィカ」を読んだら方が良いと思うよ。(japanese makes things cooler, ね?)

    @Ollie
    Latin makes things sound. French makes you sound snobby (let me know if thats a word because I tend to take Swedish words and make them English ones)

    @Mr. Timms
    Don’t try to start some kind of flame war. I like this site. And if its a joke Ive already stated that I dont like that kind of joke because it only works in speech.

  8. Ollie says:

    Snobby is most definitely a word, and can describe at least 99% of England. Even the working classes are getting snobby now-a-days over immagration! Oh, did I just bring up a controversial topic? Woops…

  9. Mr. Timms says:

    Hello J. Please sit down. We have to talk.
    My apology follows.

    I am not trying to start a flame war. I’m just saying I don’t like it when people insult me (incorrectly, too) for my views, like you have done twice now. Firstly, I said that because they got a relatively good reaction, they should have continued. If you don’t want *me* to start a flame war, then don’t reply to someone’s comments with insults. Both of our respective comments told each other to go soak their head, then insulted them further. The only difference between the two, is that I have at least 100 out of 106 episodes on this site to back me up. But for now, seeing as I have a lot of free time on my hands, let’s break down this argument further.

    First of all, seeing as you referenced something I said previously, let’s post this up for all to see.

    Mr. Timms said:
    “And for some reason, you are accusing us of supporting a “right” that we said wasn’t even the case! Or, at least me anyway. Do you want this place to turn into the rest of the Internet?”

    Now, let’s start with your first reply.

    “Cant you just go to LiveJournal so that the people who likes non weird episodes can get their due?”

    Clever. Very clever. you told me to (1.) Leave, and (2.) Go to LiveJournal, insulting me by putting me down as some sort of weirdo creep. Then, you tried to elevate yourself onto a higher level of righteousness by (1.) Suddenly defining yourself as normal (“people who likes non weird episodes”), and (2.) Just as suddenly giving yourself the “entitlement” to “non weird episodes.” So now you’re more righteous than me, a creepy weirdo, and entitled to episodes fitting your “non weird” standards.

    Then here’s my reply.

    “In case you didn’t know, Villainy Inc is a weird podcast, with weird people, talking about weird things. I don’t know about you, but if I didn’t like weird episodes, I would get off the site right away. Go take your contraryist judgmentalism somewhere else, troll. ”

    Here I am, in the first sentence:

    “In case you didn’t know, Villainy Inc is a weird podcast, with weird people, talking about weird things.”

    Attempting to dispel your standard of “normalcy,” I’m also trying to back up my views, by showing evidence of the real standard. Then there’s this:

    “I don’t know about you, but if I didn’t like weird episodes, I would get off the site right away.”

    Now I’m doing the same things you’re doing, trying to make weird the standard, and telling you to leave.

    “Go take your contraryist judgmentalism somewhere else, troll.”

    This is saying that you have a pattern of arguing with everything I say (contraryist), judging everything I think (judgmentalism), and insulting everything I do (troll).

    I can say that I see how we’re both arguing, standing on our tall pedestals of righteousness, and aiming insults down to the bases below. I would like to say that since my view is more tolerant of diversity, I’m right, but I’m not done. Here is your reply to my harsh comment:

    “@Ollie
    Latin makes things sound. French makes you sound snobby (let me know if thats a word because I tend to take Swedish words and make them English ones)

    @Mr. Timms
    Don’t try to start some kind of flame war. I like this site. And if its a joke Ive already stated that I dont like that kind of joke because it only works in speech.”

    First of all, I must laud that clever piece of psychological warfare, by putting your (insulting) reply to my much more offensive reply to you after the less important conversation. I must say that this is most likely you again trying to put yourself on a higher level of righteousness than me again, since you are ranking an argument trivial, trying to make you appear more mature. Well, I find that when people insult me arbitrarily, I prefer to defend myself directly than by resulting to subliminal tricks with grammar and phrases.

    “Don’t try to start some kind of flame war.”

    Again, you’re putting yourself on higher ground, by saying that I’m the one trying to flame you. Well, I say that you started it. Have you seemed to mysteriously forget your first comment? Let’s read on.

    “I like this site.”

    You will probably not be asking why I’m putting this as an entire statement because you already know. Again, you’re trying to raise yourself above me. But this little sentence has almost the exact same concept as what I posted before:

    “And for some reason, you are accusing us of supporting a “right” that we said wasn’t even the case! Or, at least me anyway. Do you want this place to turn into the rest of the Internet?”

    Notice that last sentence. “Do you want this place to turn into the rest of the Internet?” Indeed. But let me point out the differences between the two. My comment was literally on the defensive, trying to reason with you so you would stop attacking me. Your comment was made to appear defensive, but it had nothing to do with reasoning. Your comment, in its context, was directly insulting. By saying that you like this site, you’re implying that I am an outsider, from 4chan, or some other weird place. And yet you’re the one who’s bashing the very things that make Villainy Inc what it is.

    “And if its a joke Ive already stated that I dont like that kind of joke because it only works in speech.”

    First of all, I can’t make any sense of what you’re trying to say in the second part of the sentence. Then again, it doesn’t really matter since you’re getting your point across very nicely. By raising the possibility that it’s a joke, you’re implying that I’m open to ridicule. And finally, I don’t care too much about what you said after that.

    Anyway, the point I’m trying to make is that everything you’ve actually said about me is wrong, and that you need to learn to be more tolerant on a site with a podcast like this. I am sincerely hoping that your reply to this will be tl;dr, but I must be able to say that I defended myself. If you continue in your unnecessary attacks and insults against me, I’ll start tracking you down. And in case you start saying something like “That wasnt an apology, he just started ranting abou everything i said”, let me apologize for my apology.

    apology (plural apologies) 2. A formal justification, defence. “The Apology of Socrates.”

  10. Walrus King says:

    Hey there fellas.

    Here’s the thing. We fancy ourselves a classy website, and also a fun one with a relaxed atmosphere where everyone is family. You know, like Chili’s (I don’t know what the European equivalent to Chili’s is). What I’m getting at is, let’s not fight, argue, whatever you want to call it. If you guys wanna argue, take it to Taco Bell. Or 4chan. That’s up to you. But not here. If we gotta suspend accounts, we’ll suspend accounts. And if you have a problem with an episode, please email us. You know we read them.

    Thanks,
    The Management.

  11. Ollie says:

    They closed the Chili’s near me =’(

  12. ojii says:

    There was never a Chili’s near me (not sure what smilie to put here since I have no clue what Chili’s is)

  13. Sir Michael says:

    It’s kind of embarrassing for you guys when you manage to annoy the Walrus King.. But remember this; I, as a mod, have the power to edit any comment posted.
    While the others might “Suspend” or “delete” your account, I won’t hesitate to just make you sound like (more of) a moron.

    It’s a website run by villains, and that’s my kind of evil.

    Thanks,
    stfu

  14. ojii says:

    you do know that in wordpress you have the option to send a gang to the user’s home and thrash their place, right Sir Michael? Just as an alternative to editing their posts…

  15. Fatty_bo_Batty (Robert) says:

    Sir Michael, Walrus King…
    That is why you be awesome.
    *Starts slow-clapping*

  16. Theremin says:

    Well, I think J. and Timm are BOTH boogerfaces.

  17. Mr. Timms says:

    Thanks Theremin, but I REALLY hate it when people randomly start insulting me. It brings back horrible memories.

    From where I live, there’s a Chili’s a few blocks away. All of you can come over for a sleepover! First one to fall asleep gets raisinets in the ear.

  18. Ollie says:

    Oh, Theremin went there. Also, Blogspot one-ups wordpress by having a ‘Nuke’ button for admins.

  19. Mr. Timms says:

    Well, WordPress has a ‘Nuke’ button as well, but it only puts everything into the microwave.

  20. Sir Michael says:

    Actually, I’ve known about the WordPress Nuke feature for a while now.. I often cook my hot pockets with it.

    Holy shit, Raisinets in the ear? Remember THAT Dr. Disaster!? Those were some good times, eh?

  21. Mr. Timms says:

    Nice reference-getting, Sir Michael. I didn’t think anyone would get it. Except maybe you.
