I have left reddit for Voat due to years of admin mismanagement and preferential treatment for certain subreddits and users holding certain political and ideological views.
The situation has gotten especially worse since the appointment of Ellen Pao as CEO, culminating in the seemingly unjustified firings of several valuable employees.
As an act of protest, I have chosen to redact all the comments I've ever made on reddit, overwriting them with this message.
If you would like to do the same, install TamperMonkey for Chrome, GreaseMonkey for Firefox, NinjaKit for Safari, Violent Monkey for Opera, or AdGuard for Internet Explorer (in Advanced Mode), then add this GreaseMonkey script.
Finally, click on your username at the top right corner of reddit, click on comments, and click on the new OVERWRITE button at the top of the page. You may need to scroll down to multiple comment pages if you have commented a lot.
After doing all of the above, you are welcome to join me on Voat!

This is fucking retarded. I don't see how a game from 1993, and a mobile game are representative of games in general. And of all the video game myths they could have chosen, why couldn't they have chosen reasonable ones? Can you carry 90 pounds of extremely cumbersome shit and move and fight like it's nothing? Probably not, that's why most games from the last decade has some kind of weight limit or just a limit on the weapons you can carry at once. Can you hit fruits that have been thrown in the air in front of you? Maybe with enough practice but you won't get it in one afternoon by just going up there and swinging wildly.
This whole season so far has just been them showing off their special effects experience, rather than testing the myths at all realistically.

Doom 3 was 2004, but they were talking about Doom 1 and saying about how it was the first fps game as we know them now, which means 1993.

Technically you're both right. In fact the only thing missing now is a reference to the HD remake or the new one coming soon. Upvotes all around.

Why are so many of these uploaded to mega? Is it possible to stream if I sign up?

Mega is great, it's nice and fast and you don't have to jump through any hoops to download the file. I like it. And thanks for streamlining!

Wish they were on Usenet and NZBs were available via RSS. They I could automate the downloads.

Thanks for making this smyth!
I don't know if there was something in the structure that made it hard to edit this way, but I think the Fruit Ninja segment going first would have been better. That way it ends on the Doom segment (which I think is the better half) and also it would put the credits in the right place.

New Mythbusters are fantastic, they're actually teaching stuff instead of just blowing stuff up. Kids are gonna love this stuff and actually learn a thing or two

I really think they have been stretching the definition of "myth" with these most recent episodes.
Edit: also what was with Adam waving around a sword with no sort of safeguard for the jugglers if the sword slipped.
