>> With the show always being filmed in front of a live studio audience (any scenes filmed outside were played back in the studio) it meant the laughter heard is an authentic measure of the audience's reaction.

You can stop reading after this. Garbage in, garbage out.

>> However, I am confident that Mega Crit will address this issue.

They did not address it in StS1, exactly the same bugs were reported there. I would not be very hopeful. They did not even change their RNG to something better, like MT.

If you have any doubts, I highly recommend to review the stock price history of GPRO(GoPro), BYND (Beyond Meat), CGC (Canopy Growth), TLRY (Tilray).

These are just some somewhat recent IPOs that come to mind, I am sure I am forgetting some.

In the case of GPRO, look up their first quarterly reports after the IPO. Pure comedy gold.

The font on this website is unreadable.

I read the first 20 or so books in the Discworld series, but I cannot read this website.

Any links to actual full matches played? I only see a point here, a point there, no full matches.

Good job, David. Have a lollipop. Now learn & write up the proof that the Henstock-Kurzweil integral integrates _every_ derivative. This is what we had in my calculus class on top of the outdated Riemann integral.

Mozilla Thunderbolt?

Why not "Phyrefox"?

They are so incompetent, they could not even come up with a name sufficiently different from their own product.
