But first, a very special message about an event of which every nerd should be aware. Starting Sunday July 26 and going through Saturday August 8, the largest ever e-sports tournament is being held. The International DotA2 Championships, series 5, kicks off this weekend with the 16 best teams in the world battling for their shot at a cut of the record-breaking $17 million prize pool. Carissa is so excited she can barely contain herself, so some of the info given is slightly inaccurate. (Sorry!)
Visit the DotA2 International main page or the DotA2 subreddit for more information, and be sure to tune in online to watch the best of the best compete in the biggest e-sports championship in the world.

It is a dark and stormy night in the L10K studios as Evan shares his passion for all things horror. He goes through his horror history from Twilight Zone and Hitchcock through American slasher films and the rise of the great Asian horror genre. Carissa nerds out on why people seek fear through scary movies and surprises herself with how many horror flicks she has seen despite absolutely hating being afraid.
Lots of great suggestions for horror movies if you're just starting out watching, or if you're an old school adrenaline-junky who may have missed one or two classics.
Hope you got lucky tonight!
