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!

Evan spews his bile about "the worst thing to happen in the history of mankind": the 30th anniversary 'remake' of the Romero classic, Night of the Living Dead. We help keep horror fans from being tricked into watching this travesty - if you haven't already been subjected to it, that is. Just like last time, spoilers. And again, you're welcome.

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.
