Wednesday Aug 26, 2015
Holy crap, you guys, we made it to Episode 10! We're throwing ourselves a party and of course you are invited!
For the Big One-Oh, we get into some serious nerd love for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yes, we know, "everyone" loves the MCU, and we are no exception. There are, however - as surprising as it seems - ten thousand people who don't know and love it already. Maybe you happen to be one of them. We won't judge, we just want to share how awesome we think the MCU is - not just the movies, but the full scope of the vast multimedia empire Marvel has been able to successfully build.
Please join us for our loving ode to one of the greatest filmographic undertakings of all time.

Recorded at the close of this year's E3, Carissa excites Evan with a report on the most remarkable gaming announcements from the event. Yeah, it's a little later than most recaps, but it's never to late to get on the hype train!
We also wax poetic about superheroes.

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.
