Dos Time Live – 54 – Gnomes on Repeat

Scott — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 07:15:30 +0000

This week, Dave talks about time travel, Sam rambles on about WoW rumors, Quinn and Scott review District 9 and there are zombies. That’s right, zombies! Is the Apple store the new cool place to be? That kid thinks so! The new PS3 slim is pretty sexy, so is Quinn’s new iPhone theme and apparently Sam thinks Felicia Day is pretty sexy too. Wait, what? Find out on this week’s Dos Time Live…

Dos Time Live – 52 – Wibley Wimey Timey Wimey Bits

Scott — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 18:43:30 +0000

Dave’s review features a triple A (he gave an A for Agents of Atlas, get it?). Big brother is lookin’ at you, you lousy parents. We’re trying not to lose our 2TB sticks and defending our mice (or is it mouses?) from the sweat monster. Quinn shows off a cool camera/projector and some bad-ass video, and Sean’s back this week with his MAAAAAAD SCIIIIEEEENCE! All this and possibly a little more rambling in this week’s Dos Time Live.

Dos Time Live – 51 – May Contain Anna Kournikova

Scott — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 21:38:46 +0000

Its Bros Time Live again! Dave gives out 2 A’s is his not-so-comic review. Sam joins us with a summary of San Diego Comic Con via pre-recorded goodness. We break out out tin-foil hats due to recent UFO activity in the Ottawa area. Finally we tear a strip(or two) off Apple and their supposed ‘tablet’ and reiterate our fear of killer robots taking over the world, but not Canada. Lots of laughs, a legacy LOL and more than you can imagine is stuffed into this episode of Dos Time Live!
