It's story time! Joshy guides Zakky through the weird and wacky sci-fi setting of Warframe, a cult classic Action-MMO by Digital Extremes, released in 2013. Beloved by the TTP.FM, Warframe offers an amazingly unique and robust gameplay, focusing on super-powered humanoids as they bullet-jump, blast, and hack their way through many in-game factions. The lore of this setting is where most stumble. Developed piecemeal over a decade, with quests spanning from simple tutorials to full-blown cinematics linking to...

Joshy and Jonny react and review February's new additions to Warhammer 40,000: Corsairs.

Chaos Space Marines, Red Corsairs, and the Aeldari free-spirits known also as Corsairs, take centre stage. Both factions received a small release wave of models with neat kits, as well as rules that are sort of kickass. As well, we cover recent additions to Xenos factions in the new T'au unit 'Twin Lance', Tyranid Prime, and the Leagues of Votann.
