Exclusive transcripts from today's developer meeting:

Dev01: I think it's time we run another live event

Coder01: I really don't feel like coding for another live event

Dev02: I know! Lets just reuse that old plague code we have so we don't have to work as hard, I'm sure no one remembers that live event anyway.
