    For those not in the know, Kill Team is some Warhammer 40k nonsense. Gabe's response is reasonable and correct.

    Given that Gabe has fallen down the proverbial rabbit hole with regard to obsessing over Gunpla models, I'm not so sure he's got any sort of leg to stand on here.

    The difference is that Gunpla are cool and obsessing over them is inherently noble and righteous. Same goes for his latest obsession, Digimon.

    Thanksgiving would have a race to get to the ejection seat in every household.

    I love that he has a seatbelt and helmet. Because god forbid he falls off his couch cushion once he's in the lower atmosphere. Safety first!

    The difference for Gabe (the character) is that he doesn't like math in games, unless it's something that gets his kids learning math (see the comic where Gabe Jr is learning MTG). They did a comic where he said what he loved about Gunpla is that it scratched the art-hobby itch miniature games did, without the gameplay he didn't enjoy.

    For the record, I think both are cool.

    This can't be true. Off the top of my head people have told me 40k has Space Nazis, Zerg, Space Nazi Elves, Illithids from the Chaos Dimension, and Space Kobolds

    I feel like I would've remembered Anime Robot Fighters. (Those are in RIFTS)

    Well, that's because the Tau robots aren't very cool looking, so it's sorta whatever

    Tau Battlesuits are less like Gundam and more like the mini-mecha in Exosquad or a Masamune Shirow series like Appleseed. They also have more traditionally-sized mecha, but those retain the same aesthetics as the battlesuits.
