The Gamma Age is also home to the Factoids, strange creatures that resemble walking television sets. According to game legend, a traveler accidentally activated a machine which started to produce Factoids at a rate of 1 every 43 seconds. Since then, Factoids wander the world of the Gamma Age collecting data and trying to learn everything they can. However, getting any useful information out of a factoid can be tricky. For example, in one of the comics a character asks how many units are in the approaching Slugnoid army. The factoid replies "All of them." The factoids also possess information from "The Golden Age," which is the time before the Gamma Age.
