Rob and Steve chat to Scot G, creator of the Fight For Freedom mod for Arma III. We featured some of his stuff in this YouTube vid last year, and we are thrilled to invite him on the show to discuss the nitty gritty of his incredible work. Can a HiSS take out a MOBAT? Can Cobra La play a legitimate role in GI Joe lore? What exactly is an Armadillo mini tank based off of? This and more in episode 164!

GI Joe is a toyline with incredible highs, and a few notable lows. But living in the middle are so-so toys that will forever be skippable... Or are they?
In Episode 163 the lads challenge themselves to convince fellow Joburg members of the merit of the less-than-stellar entries into the line. Will anyone be reaching for their credit card by the end of the show?
Plus, Paul got a T-Rex.

First episode of 2020! The squad assembles to hi-light the year that was, and then cast their minds forward to imagine the tech that could be employed in the GI Joe and Cobra vehicles OF THE FUTURE.
There are new toys to discuss, and new plans to be teased at, and we’d be delighted if you joined the fun by dropping a comment on the Podbean episode thread... Cujo has great plans to run it better than Joe Rogan’s...
