All credit to testing these myths belongs to DefendTheHouse. I will update this topic every time a new episode is released. Thanks/Rep is appreciated.

the videos were already posted. laying it all out was helpfull though. was interesting anyway and mostly stuff i knew.

Yeah, but there's only so much you can test in the game. A good majority is bound to be common or semi-common knowledge.

true, a few of the stuff i wanted to test not long ago but i found it out from the clips.

nice myths

nicely layed out

+repped

Nicely laid out, but, all of the videos are extraordinarily old....

Thanks for compiling everything neatly.

Bump teh post.
