The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 36: Nerd Rage! Geek Gender Relations
Thursday Mar 10, 2016
Thursday Mar 10, 2016
This week Evan and Carissa solve gender relations!
OK, not really, but we do discuss some of the more prevalent issues between the genders within the overarching geeky communities - most specifically in gaming culture. While we won't be winning any Peace Prizes for our contribution here, we take a moderate, common sense, humanitarian look at some of the misapprehensions, misunderstandings, and misogyny that plague games and geek ventures in general. Sparked by a particularly egregious incident at the Dota 2 Shanghai Major tournament, Carissa explains both of the friendzones (and how to get out of them) before tackling a more serious problem.
Remember, you don't need to be a White Knight to be a decent human being. Warning: some offensive language presented.

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 15: NERD RAGE! Trolls, Haters, and Bad Fanboys
Wednesday Sep 30, 2015
Wednesday Sep 30, 2015
This week we take on the worst of us: the trolls, haters, and insufferable fanboys who make life both on and off the internet more taxing and troublesome than it needs to be. We basically cover everyone from racist YouTube commenters to hardcore MMO raiders, forum trolls to PC/Console MasterRace believers, and pseudo-anonymous assholes to socially awkward sexists.
It's a little less RAGE-y than our previous few, but probably more important, as this one actually has a lesson to wrap it all up.
