The Big Red Phone

Fuck it, I'm going to call from work. HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT AUSTRALIAN TAX PAYERS?!
I read this thread, started the stream, then totally heard your call. Someone said they were going to do something on the internet, then I could see them actually do it. This technology is magic! This is the real reason Steve Jobs retired, he can't compete with these Whiskey Media innovations!
For those that use Twitter, there's a Twitter account for it (you may have heard Will talking about it)
We had a nice big blunt thread about what GB needs to do.. to get people to wana pay for this site.
Pages upon pages of ideas..
This is the big draw?
NO money for you!
This is magical! For anyone watching right now, here is the swords book on Amazon.

Yay! Just got on and had a wonderful-slash-awkward-slash-time-delayed-as-hell conversation with Mister Dave.
He's still in the office at this time?!
I'm the happiest guy in the world I just got to talk to the one and only SNIDE. I think my heart skipped a beat when he answered I for some reason thought it wasn't going to work but it did!
I can cross that of my bucket list now. Man this is why I love this website they actually care about their community. Whiskey Media you will forever have my support.

I was pretty impressed by that, that's for sure. I want an ax and mace book.
Cool, first time calling in and I got to talk to Ryan.Sweet! I got to be the last call of the night and talk to Dave. Got to ask him an important question in regards to gifting memberships that I've been needing to know in regards to future contests.
I was the one who called with the dumb Batman joke... What? He said he was waiting for Batman to call!
Thanks for taking my call, nice to finally say hey to someone who's been making me laugh for a few years. Keep doin what your doin.
Awesome that gifting memberships is coming soon.

You and your contests. I look forward to those. You're crazy. :D

Aw, but this is a fun idea and it's exactly a huge draw. I'm sure there will be other great things to go along with this! :D
I missed your call, by the way. Who did you get to talk to? Yours is the only one I didn't hear!

They are going to regret this in a day or so when they realize that the phone will never stop ringing.

@Sparklykiss: I was planning on doing monthly membership contests across all the Whiskey Media sites, but they weren't able to implement it in a way that they wanted. It's yearly memberships only, so those contests will be far more rare than the once-a-week thing I was planning. Probably for the Game Giveaway one year anniversary or something.

That's understandable. I wouldn't mind giving an extra 15 to throw into the pool for those potential giveaways that they want to do. (But I also still really want a T-shirt. :D) You could also have some sort of crazy Christmas event, I'd be willing to help set that up if need be.
And, uh, yeah. It's better you did. It was mostly me being all "OH MY GOD, THIS IS A THING...!" and Dave was like "Yep." I tried not to say too much, I was mostly grinning on my end like a doofus.

this is kinda weird. lonely telephone on the stream till morning.
reminds me of the truman show. specifically the truman sleeps scene/song.
It's lonely, but strangely mesmerizing.....
Also I totally think they need to move the phone stream into a chat... like they do for all the other live streams. Would be pretty cool to be able to chat with other people who are watching the phone stream.

Much agreed.
Totally! Vito's Game Giveaway and Pass the Whiskey can team up for a special Christmas thing where we give away awesome stuff. PM me some time and we'll work out the details!@Vito_Raliffe said:

I hope they keep the Big Red Phone going for a while, with scheduled times for people to call like Dave was saying. I found it kinda fucking awesome to be quite honest.
I got to call up and say hey, ask some questions and be dumb on the internet from my cell phone in front of my computer. Thats why I come here, these guys do what they want. WE pay for the site so they dont have to follow some random guidelines set by someone else.
I never post very much, I mostly just absorb all the content. I've made 1 edit to Shadow Complex. (Dont be redundant, lol) But I have always loved the community here, its nice to know that all I had to do was call up and you guys will actually talk. Not just a quick hi, but an actual conversation.
Just sayin... Shit was cool yo...
So can we listen to the calls as they're happening? Is that what the embedded video is for? Or is that where the "visual password" shows up? If it's for listening to live calls of other people, then where do we find the visual password? Also, I'll definitely be using this any time I have a pertinent life decision. I wish it was business hours right now, because I would like someone to tell me if I should use sourdough, rye, wheat, or white on this hamburger.
I think I had a chance of being the first caller, but my phone was apparently dead. Really need to get a phone that doesn't pretend to work when in actuality it's totally dead v.v
But I think this whole thing is awesome, definitely plan on taking advantage of it! In a good way, of course.

@Branthog 1 you should use wheat. 2 it's live so that we can hear all phone calls and also see the visual passwords. I am hitting new lows watching this phone when I know no one will answer. NOREGRETS!
So am I supposed to be seeing something on that video? All I see is a blackness.
Update: Oh, nevermind. The lights are off in the office. DUH. They should put a little nightlight on it for retards like us at night.
