Damn I actually like the firearms series, and the "douchebag" who rants about armor. I really like when they have Dave Rawlings (the sword guy) and the armor guy together and they're just needing out over their passions.

Yeah, Rawlings is awesome. I forget if Matt Easton ever did anything for GS or if he only does Insider (and scholagladiatoria) or what.

For me it is mostly that everyone else has fun and does the "Okay, this wouldn't work but it is really cool. It might be inspired by XYZ". Whereas the armor guy just gets incredibly smug and complains that the armor on that Ork isn't historically accurate.

And yeah. Had a bad feeling when they skipped the week after the Fandom layouts were announced. And last week (the ArmA 3 DLC one) has a note from Dave saying that is the final episode because he was fired.

For what its worth, Jonathan and the rest of the Royal Armouries do weekly-ish shows. Less video game oriented but the same gun nerd logic and the discussion of historical context.
