The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 26: Obligatory Yearly Roundup
Wednesday Dec 30, 2015
Wednesday Dec 30, 2015
2015 is coming to a close and so, as we approach the beginning of the year when those born at the turn of the millennium will be driving cars, Evan and Carissa take a look back - as many others are doing - at the halfway point of the Twenty-Teens.
The best (and a couple of the worst) in science, tech, medicine, movies, tv, and games of the year all get a nod. Then we take a look forward to hope for the best to come in the approaching year. We know everyone is doing a year-in-review, but naturally we think ours is the best.
Have a safe and happy New Year's Eve celebration, everyone, and we'll catch you in a week!

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 23: The March of Progress
Wednesday Dec 09, 2015
Wednesday Dec 09, 2015
This week Evan and Carissa reminisce about the technology which shaped our generation. The 8088 and the Apple ][e, BASICA games and TI graphing calculators, the Hayes SmartModem and AOL, BBSes and MUDs, Betamax and VHS, and so much more. Progress marches on, moving ever faster and with increasing promise, so we pause to relish in the view from the top, standing on the shoulders of the giants which brought us into the future.

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.
Congratulations again to wikishuffle for their win at the UK Podcasters Awards!

Episode 6: E3
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.
