Ben and Tom express their feelings (mostly sad) that beloved YouTube sensation Alfabusa (who recently stopped by for a 3-part interview) will be putting his series on hiatus.

To lighten the mood, the dynamic duo take a quick visit to fun internet shenanigans from over a decade ago, leading to a contentious discussion with an Al Pacino soundboard…

News: 40Cray season 1 will be coming to a close soon, and season 2 may see a rebrand and refocus. Have ideas? Shoot them our way!

Ben and Tom break down all of the news surrounding the Octarius reveal, and  analyze new models (Death Korps and Orks!) and implications of the reveal for the future of Kill Team. 

You can see the full video for this episode--which includes a longer discussion where Ben and Tom break down each new model and the new minis in the Ork line. We'll be doing more and more video-focused content on our YouTube channel so check it out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrVDCRWjYTe4LWDFZRNIkhw

The boys also spend some time discussing the Final Fantasy Feud that's raging silently among pro-wrestling fans, and dive into the relative merits of FFVI, FFVII, and FFVIII (spoilers, we don't see many merits on VIII).

You can view all of this news on GW's official Warhammer Community site here: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/07/10/warhammer-preview-online-octarius-mission-briefing/  Note that this is the page we feature in the episode.

In this very special, first-ever video chat episode, Ben and Tom dive deep into some of the biggest plot holes and cases of general lore tomfoolery in the 40K universe (after a bit of reflection on Warhammer+ now that we have all the details!).

With dozens of authors across hundreds of books, there's plenty of inconsistencies and... weirdness... to choose from. Did we hit on your favorite or most frustrating plot hole? Let us know in the comments!

In part 3 of our interview series with Alfabusa and Speaker D, we talk about Warhammer+ and the future of "If the Emperor Had a Text to Speech".

Note that this interview was recorded back on June 12th before the full details of the Warhammer+ service were released. We plan to post updated takes from our guests on the full Warhammer+ package in a future release or edit!

In case you don't know by now (we're on episode 3 at this point of this series!) Alfabusa and Speaker D are the creator and lead writer respectively of YouTube 40K Phenomenon "If the Emperor had a Text to Speech Device" and a number of fantastic creative projects that combine deep 40K lore with irreverent comedy.

Spoilers: They're just as nice and funny as you'd hope they'd be!
