Team Name[edit]
"Dank" is a colloquial term commonly associated with cannabis smoking, used either as an adjective or a verb.[a] "Dankey Kang" is a popular Internet meme, derived from combining the term "dank" and the name of Nintendo character Donkey Kong. The meme was created on 8 January 2014 by cartoonist Mike Rosenthal when he tweeted an edited screenshot of a Jeopardy! scene featuring "Who is Dankey Kang?" written as a response.[2]
In a Garry's Mod Prop Hunt episode released on 8 June 2014, Pyro references the Dankey Kang meme when entering an area filled with a large amount of bananas.[3] The meme became an on-going joke within Team G-mod,[4] and later spread to the Mindcrack Server with Pyro's continued use of the joke.[5]
The team name may be a reference to Arkas' nationality, Dutch, due to the culture associated with cannabis usage in the Netherlands.[6]
Collaborations[edit]
Ruins Of The Mindcrackers[edit]
Arkas and Pyro played Ruins Of The Mindcrackers on normal difficulty with the death counter enabled.[7] The series became inactive in August 2014.[8]

Meetups[edit]
Both Pyro[12] and Arkas[13] shared that they had acquired press passes for EGX 2014, a gaming convention held in London from 25-28 September, but Pyro later noted he would not be attending for financial reasons.[14][15] Despite this, Arkas still attended along with ProtostarMusic.[16]
