I nominate Steve as the office hipster. It's almost abrasive.

I don't know but I'm pretty sure Lemon wasted 100k of Kessler's money. In the last video, you can see his savings dropping on one reload from 144k to 44k (or maybe I couldn't read the quality.)

I'm a bit worried that Kessler's sudden realisation that he no longer has enough money to plant a whole field of super cotton will actually happen off camera. I've been waiting for that to happen for two episodes now!

Lemon spent tons of money in the last betting the farmville. By the end of the episode, matt was down 100,000 coins. Now he is at 26,000...damn

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. Unless the farmville dev team has been watching this competition and patched it out? (it's not like they're doing anything else with their time). Otherwise it seems like way too useful of a exploit to completely abandon.

I really hope Kessler is playing dumb, and is really planning some elaborate revenge plot here.

Crap. I half-expected there to be another investor gathering to discuss the sabotage and its possible rewards/consequences. Instead I got more plain old boring FarmVille.

So much wasted potential in this episode. 
 
There was opportunity for space opera music at the culmination of Kessler finding out about the sabotage.

They're covering it ironically.  The whole thing has been done as a joke from the start.
