Scott Pilgrim Vol. 1-6From writer/artist Bryan Lee O'Malley comes the story of Scott Pilgrim, the 23 year old slacker who's precious little life is turned upside down when he meets the girl of his dreams (literally), Ramona Flowers, and discovers that in order to be with her, he must fight and destroy her seven evil ex boyfriends.

Great episode, once again. Amy rocked as Atlas (although, I thought I heard some ambient traffic sounds or something during her recording. Goldwave has a Noise Reduction filter that can diminish that). I have a feeling Atlas is going to be my favorite character. I love computers with put-upon, discontented, self aware personalities!
Some of the editing was a bit choppy this go around, and the approaching danger at the end could have used an alarm sound effect of some kind (the voice for that sounded exactly like it did in my head when I read the script, BTW). Otherwise, solid effort from all involved. Keep ‘em coming, guys!
Now that school is over Nick and I might co-edit this, hopefully this will reduce any choppiness you might hear.
I liked the addition of a female voice to the cast but I want to listen to it a few times before I comment further.
Kneel before cats fighters? Is that what they’re called?
Cat Spiders
Nick, this episode made me very happy.
You did a great job! …granted I cringed at my parts as it’s been forever since i’ve heard it. But great job none the less.
And I’m sorry I live near a busy street!
i’ll try to be more careful of that in the future 
Forgot how much i loved your acting as the AI amy!
Just to avoid any confusion in the future, becuase I don’t think we ever make it clear in the ep itself; Atlas is actually the name of the ship. The charecter me met in this episode is merely the disembodied computer voice OF the Atlas. Why this particular spaceship has a fiesty personality will be dealt with in future episodes
This episode was better than the second. I particularly enjoyed the “voice” of the cat-spiders. The only thing I found particularly confusing was the character of Atlas, which I”m glad to hear will be discussed later on.
why is this still not on I tunes
I need to search red shirts by itself with geekshow and i find it on Itunes.
A little bit bummed out that we still only have one review…
Don’t forget them Canadian reviews.
