You ever wonder what a website is about? Us too. Elprehzleinn (which means Excellence is Just The Way It Is, so don’t get it twisted), aka https://mediazdesign.com, aka elprehzleinn.ca is a digital graphic design website run by JorjeJj Z. Elprehzleinn and Robyn Elprehzleinn aka Voon Muhn Rahn aka Justin (but that’s a different body). JorjeJj is one…

Have you ever had someone just start talking to you about the evils of sex and sexualism in society? How the filthy sexuals are continuing cycles of abuse and only think with their junk? No? That wouldn’t surprise us because the people at r/antisex are the most introverted liars on the planet, but you should just assume they were THINKING it really…

Remember the Crying Lovers’ Forum where we read about dacryphilia, the fetish for crying? Remember how sometimes we do a deep dive on a specific person because they just make us go “w-what?” Well here’s your reminder! Amans Lacrimae and Lucky_Princess[some numbers] are having a dubiously consensual cry fetish rp that’s hundreds of posts long. And w…

Despite what the posts we read from the internet would suggest, people on the internet sometimes actually read books. Books that people care about. Classics, if you will. What’s a classic? Whatever’s tagged as classic on Goodreads, obviously! Let’s figure out which some classics are much reviled by the sharp-minded, sharp-tongued folks over at Good…

On the internet, we often find ourselves inundated with impressively bad erotica. But did you know that before the internet people were also bad at writing flirtation, foreplay, sex, and fetish play? Okay, but did you know they were also GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?! Hommi Publishing is on a mission to catalog gay pulp romance novels from the latter h…

A day late, a dollar short, and two couch cushions bigger than before… Fantasy Feeder is a place we’ve been to maybe once before. Or maybe twice if you’re from THAT loaf. But what’s important is that we never ever get full anymore so you may as well watch as our bellies grow comically large and our asses get really really tall all because some sini…

Synchronicity is apparently when something is almost but not quite a coincidence or something. Look it really doesn’t matter. What does matter is that when things happen it’s only because all things were destined to give me a tingly feeling in the back of my head. That’s why I go to reddit and tell everyone how freaky it is that sometimes I remembe…

Jesus loves the little forum users. Probably. The Christian Teen Forums is a place on the internet that begs the question “A forum for Christian Teens? What could possibly go wrong?!” And then you read it and you say “Oh right. Obviously all of this could possibly go wrong. And has!” You have your doctrinal disputes, your decades outdated pop-cultu…

The 90s: A time of Tamagotchis, Talkboy tape recorders, and, yes, magazines about video games. These relics of a bygone era form the heart of our culture in a way only consumerism can manage. Some come along with us as we travel twixt the years 1991 and 2001 through words and song, though with the level of lyricism in magazines such as PC Accelerat…

Part 2 crew, the B-team, the idea that keeps on giving… In this part, a bunch of us go back through old documents and read stuff that had been skipped over, or we dug deeper and found more new things to read that were even worse. See, we finally got around to it! Some of it… Stress brought back the Crying Lovers’ Forum: The Crying Came Dijon brough…

Wow! 200 episodes! And yes we did do 200 episodes. Real fans know. The rest will just have to deal. Today Shell asks some of our newest readers with the oldest roots about their ancient forays into the internet of yore. Turtle, Positronic, and Spaced God take us back to a time when the community and shippers shaped the experience, rather than an al…

Pokemon on the internet? That must mean sexy sex gross fetish stuff, right? Wrong. Well, mostly right but in this case it’s wrong. We challenged doc makers to construct a document about pokemon in which nothing sexual or fetishy was happening and dammit we eventually got there. Mostly. Gany and Likely JUST Dijon might have cheated a little. Whateve…

You might all think the internet is just a place for messy queer representation and inflated Chilly (Bluey’s mom, keep up people) but actually the internet is filled with examples of brave souls trying to save American society from itself. The ChildCare Action Project: Christian Analysis of American Culture Ministry (CAP Ministry) is a place to fin…

AI chat bots are everywhere, and yet the one place dudes on the internet still can’t manage to get is in their pants. Replika is one of the more bullshit of bullshit AI friends, in that it promises to be unique to you rather than just dump all the data when you close the session. Except it totally does still do that, which means every time a guy tr…

Above Top Secret is a conspiracy theory website where everyone types exactly how you expect them to and their forum design is exactly as bizarre as you would expect it to be if you expected it to be anything beyond two too bright colors. But that doesn’t matter. You know what matters? Reel Big Fish. I mean short stories and poetry. Dammit. Look we …

Hey did you know there are other tabletop games you could play that aren’t Dungeons and Dragons? If the answer isn’t “uh, obviously” then you probably have a vague idea that maybe some kind of superhero-based game exists or something and you’re just not ready for something that complex, so you’ll just stick to the classics. Also you’ll append liter…

Five Nights at Freddy’s was a bad jump scare horror game about animatronic mascot characters who kill you or something. This trend has exploded into a disgustingly bloated pustule of fan games and ripoffs to the point that Secret Gaygent 69 plays them for us sometimes and he never runs out of content. So we’re gonna read a document that’s descripti…

After we spent 2 hours reading only half of the document, we realized there was no way we could do the goons justice in one sitting, so we made another episode that’s just more Something Awful anime recommendations. There’s fewer isekais in this one, but that’s just because we’re going backwards so we’re more in the past when isekais weren’t the on…

Several years back, The Heavenator brought us a bunch of anime recommendations straight from the Something Awful Forums’ recommendation thread. The rule was we had to interpret each anime as they were described, with no outside knowledge permitted to taint our observations. The results were pretty goofy to say the least, so we did it again! But oop…

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a baby? Yeah it sounds like a lot of work right? And for what? The shitty little thing might not even be successful and pay for your retirement and let you buy them their clothes forever! Isn’t there a better way? Well yes! There is! And you even get the joy of telling everyone you’re about to sh…

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a bunch of bullshit words were said or not said prompting countless nerds and losers to catalog every single one of them. Yeah, that’s all you’re getting from us, reference-wise. Wookiepedia is a place where Star Wars detritus goes to live forever, sorted into categories such as “Legends” or “Canon” …

The process of childbearing/birth is something often described as a miracle. It’s little surprise then that people on the internet are turned on by it. But what if, and stay with me here folks, what if a man could get pregnant? Sorry what? Trans men? Fucking shut up you piece of shit. We’re not talking about them, we’re talking about the sexy prosp…

Porn comes in every variety in high volumes. You can’t shake a dick without finding someone who wants to help you cum. It’s so hard to know the good from the bad, though. There has to be a better way! Too bad all we have is members of the internet using their rudimentary writing skills to review porn games made in Ren’Py in an overly-serious fashio…

The Villains Wiki is yet another compilation wiki categorizing everything in media that has ever been cast as a villain. They have slightly better quality standards than you’d imagine. The Villains Fanon Wiki is yet another compilation wiki categorizing everything in internet memes and creepypasta that has ever been cast as a villain while also not…

You ever feel like you’re being watched? You ever know you’re being watched by undefined groups of people who inevitably include your coworkers and your ex-wife? You ever see one thing twice and go “That’s no coincidence!” Well crank that up to 11 and start posting nonstop and you’ll be amongst the Targeted Individuals who believe themselves to be …

In part 4 of our exhilarating 5 part mini-series, we actually talk about The Street Fighter Code. It’s like The DaVinci Code. It also tries to answer the question “Who was Jesus, really?” This is why media literacy is important, people. There was a late change in editing that made the titles and art not line up with the content, but they’re already…

In this installment, Steven Mane turns his laser focused eye upon the reality-crossing powers of a one M. Bison, because… um… A lady on twitter asked him to, kind of? We also go over the unfortunate foot-fetishist reality that is Juri…….. on a pocky box…. . …. . . . ….. and on a third party digital trading card. This here’s the hump of the mini-ser…

Part 2 of this 5 part mini-series. This time we dive deep into why oh why didn’t they make a crossover character have a dark and gritty impact on the SF world? Also some nonsense about making oil out of babies. Join us again as we call bullshit on a supposed shitpost in this nonsense endeavor we embarked on for no reason.…

A format shake-up! We read about a guy who has Street Fighter fan theories for 3 hours and dammit we just can’t do that to you. So instead enjoy this five-part mini-series on a man whose whole shtick is pretending to be a funny haha wacky game theory guy while actually being a guy who is bad at media literacy. That media being the fighting game ser…

If there’s one thing that can be said about science and the internet as a whole, it’s that they have never tried to figured out just how penises work. It’s the big gaping hole in our biological and sociological knowledge and who better than a smattering of men obsessed with their nocturnal emissions to rectify the greatest mistake of history? The W…

Steam is a platform upon which more and more shit is shuffled, so what if we read about that? Much like the last time we read about Steam games, this time won’t be too much different. Sit back and let us extol the virtues of Secret Gaygent 69’s 3 Hs. Horror, Horny, and HUH? This week, Extra Credit is printing out its resume.…

Reddit has so many questions, particularly about the mythical beast that is woman. So powerful is Reddit’s need to Ask Women, it cannot be contained by one or even two subreddits. No, in order to facilitate conversation with EVERY possible lady query there need to be an ever-increasing amount of splinter subreddits to collect the dregs that sloughe…

Come along with us on a journey to worlds beyond your imagination. Worlds beyond the imaginations of those who made them, in fact, as the writers themselves seem to have no clue how the worlds they’re trying to write work. Writers more interested in inventing places than writing stories are a dime a dozen on the internet, which is why it’s so easy …

We swear we didn’t plan it this way, it just happened this episode was done after the last! Want more Reddit but less semen? Well we might not be able to promise NO semen, but this old doc from the archives promises less. r/edgingtalk is lesser than r/semenretention but still better than r/nofap, who are somehow the biggest losers of Reddit. They p…

Reddit is full of guys who are all pent up with… What did you think we were gonna say? Rage? Resentment? Gamer words? Well those are all fitting, but no. The word we were going to end that sentence with was semen! This may seem like a mean-spirited dig at their sexual prowess, but that couldn’t be further from the case. Indeed, the people of r/Seme…

During a specific two year gap around 2011, the facile whims of fandom were fixated on a few particular properties. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Portal 2, True Blood, and of course… The CENSORSHIP taking place on TV Tropes regarding the purge of fetish-related materials and the subsequent migration efforts to save every listing of foot fetish…

We braved the mechanical oddities of Chrono Cross’ game design, now to confront the twisty time-travel confusion that is Chrono Cross’ plot. In a document written by Dijon Du Jour, Dijon explains the general overview of Chrono Cross as it happens. Or sometimes as it doesn’t happen. Or sometimes still as it once happened but then no longer happens. …

Hey what if we just took a little time to talk about a video game? Chrono Cross is the sequel to the world-renowned, critically-acclaimed single-player RPG Chrono Trigger. Having made the jump from 2-D to 3-D the game also made a few leaps regarding mechanics and storytelling. The former is a mystery that baffles Chronocrossology scholars to this d…

Wikipedia is a wealth of information (provided the dudes who make up editing leadership think your subject is relevant), a massive compendium of facts and concepts put together by many, many people providing a little of this or a lot of that. But how do these editors manage to communicate with each other in such a way that permits the most efficien…

The Gender and Sexuality communities of Tumblr have been in flux (not the suffix they attatch to every other word, it’s just honestly changed hands many times.) Having founded and abandoned the LGBTA Wiki, they went on to a site called EZGENDER. This too was left to lie fallow as the trendy hipsetters were soon located in Gender Heaven. That also w…

WikiHow is back and it’s WikiHower than ever! We return to the podcast family’s sweetheart site to discover even more helpful tips for problems such as how to ride an elevator or how to make a psi ball. WikiHow will this turn out? This week, Extra Credit is petitioning Congress to change the letters E and C to mean “BLUP.”…

The Sims is a game about creating digital dolls and making them cheat on each other until they die in a fire caused by some moron making mac and cheese. Except it’s actually about so much more. The Sims discussion forums are filled with people sharing their complaints, perhaps some triumphs, and mostly their fetishes. What could possibly be so bad …

This episode features a story about a lot of things. It’s about Hamilton. (kinda) It’s about Harry Potter. (not really) It’s about making THE LESBIATHAN angry. (very) It’s about Hamtaro/Kingdom Hearts crossovers. (not nearly enough) It’s about friends who probably only like you for the fame and also your brother can spy because he’s an actor. If al…
