Dos Time Live – 49 – The Almost 50 Episode

Scott — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 01:33:19 +0000

This week, we go undercover and run from the “man” as we uncover some top-secret frames of the Japan super-mega-robo-project… Erm, we mean the Gundam. To attain this info we had to rig a steadycam, rig a server farm and explode some USB sticks. Hey look! It’s the agent we’re looking for! COME BACK HERE, AGENT WALLY!
