- Looking back at the history of racing games, there is one in particular that shines brighter than the rest. A game about enjoying summer's warmth and living in the moment. But what happens beyond the horizon? Where do we find ourselves as life takes us further and further down its highway?

BONUS MEME!
Racing games, huh? Have you ever noticed that people don't often make video essays about them? Despite being a pretty popular genre too. Like usual we wanted to make something unique, and just making something about a racing game clearly wasn't enough. So instead we made this strange art piece that combines several things about cars. What a wild ride. Kiki wrote it, however I still think Outrun 2 is a bit better than the original, it is at the very least the one I go back to over and over again. I tried to download it on our PS3 recently, but it was gone from my download list. Can you believe it? They deleted it from my downloads as if they owned the place. Rude. I paid good money for that game in 2009 or whenever it was released. And now it's just gone. This is why you can't trust digital games, people. We also showed off Cosmic Race in this video because it's a neat little game that no one really remembers except for weirdos who read about it in a video game magazine once. I played it once on an emulator and knew I had to own it so I instantly tracked a copy down. Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo and all these other PS1 racing games are also cool. Do you remember freaking Lego Racers? That title screen music though. Stuck in my head since I was but a wee barne. Also, did you know Sonic the Hedgehog shows up in several Outrun games as some cute cameo? Sometimes with Tails in the Tornado, or as an advertisement. In Outrun 2 he's a statue. I just find it funny, because it's like Outrun is definitely the second biggest Sega game about "gotta go fast", so it's like Sonic is respectfully showing his approval.

Goddamnit, they know. They know that I am absolutely here to hear her say, "Coincidentally, the best game ever made."
Alas, it just coincidentally happened to be the coincidentally best game ever made.
(Thank you by the way, we love doing it!)
And that was the exact moment that kurthl33t realized they had made, coincidentally, the best comment ever made.
@@halfmoon4163 haha, we love our audience so much. You're all great 🧡
Pro Kiki dominating the Outrun leaderboard like nothing. 😎
Legend.
I just watched Outrun and the Unattainable Horizon, coincidentally the best video essay ever made
Haha, thank you
Best gaming essays on youtube! They make me feel the same zeal for games that I felt when I read through the Action Button manifesto many many years ago.
To be completely honest, I think we would be good friends with Tim. Maybe we should hang out whenever he inevitably comes to Sweden, the metropolitan of the world.
YEEEAAAAH they feel like the stuff i was watching in my drawception years
I can't believe Alicia would interrupt such a serious moment with a toy car making explosion noises. And she'd do it again.
She's a real menace.
Outrun 2 was one of the few games I actually got to experience on an arcade machine. It's a memory for sure.
I can't remember when or where, but I have a very distinct memory of seeing and playing one long ago.
@@Transparencyboo The Liseberg arcade in Sweden still has a dozen OutRun 2 cabinets up and running, it might've been there?
@@youmeltube maybe? I am not sure. I don't think so, but my memory could be spotty.
Horizon Chase Turbo is a good Indie throwback to Outrun, which also had a Ferris Bueller reference
Great minds think alike I suppose, haha
This was quite a thought- and emotion-provoking video for me to discover on a Sunday morning.
As someone who was a teenager only a few years younger than the characters in "Ferris Beuller's Day Off" when it released in theaters, I have many unattainable horizons of my own to reflect upon watching this. I am living close to poverty level due to my body going very wrong in the last decade or so, and so Ferrraris will be of course out of my reach this lifetime. Missing out on objects like this has never caused me much pain, but missing out on having a girlfriend my entire life certainly has. I found myself a bit envious of the interplay of glances between the two of you in the charming on-camera segments of this piece. You're both younger than me and have romantic companionship. Back when I was in college, I started experimenting with lipstick, but the stick never stuck and I remained male-presenting, though ambivalent about it, as I always much more strongly identified with women and always choose them as characters in video games, when given the chance. Testosterone took my hair awhile back, so I think the ship has sailed on that one!
Anyway, your video is highly intellectual, charming, and witty, and I think you're a fantastic pair. Keep kicking ass.
Between Ferris Bueller, Speed, and Succession, nobody plays a backseat passenger in way over their head than Alan Ruck.
Oh my gosh, hahaha!
"Everything is real, it is truly there, but we don't stop and touch it".
Damn, that hits hard. Both literally and figuratively, this quotation is very meaningul and true about myself.
1. Literal sense. When I travel (I don't drive, I hate cars; love racing games bit hate real cars), the best part is not the destination, it's the view from the window. I never travel by plane, always by bus. I travel through forests I wish I could explore and live in. It started in the 80s, when my dad took my (and mom, and bro) to his birth place, a small village in a place that's part deseet and part tropical forest (Tierra Caliente, Guerrero, Mexico, not by the coast but inland, among mountains and wasteland and rivers and forests). I liked there, but got bored in a matter of hours. No TV, no Atari, only venomous scorps, fiery sun, mosquitos, food and a hammock. But I loved the view through the window, and always dreamed about going out of the car and explore. A world that is truly there but I can't touch.
2. Figurative sense. I work 7 days a week. I quit a life consuming job and now I have a candy store. Income is scarce. I have time ton play games but I don't have time or money for travel or going out and dating. I see life through a window, a life that is truly there but I can't touch.
Maybe that's why I chase the horizon. Horizon Chase Turbo being my favorite racing game since Top Gear 2. Or why I've spent countless hours in Stardew Valley. Dreaming both of excitement and living a meaningful life.
Thank you for this personal and insightful comment. We are glad you could further enrich our writing in your own unique and very meaningful way. We couldn't ask for more. 🧡
I didn't think very critically of Ferris Bueller's Day Off when I watched it some years ago, but damn, you unearthed some feelings I really hope I can hold onto. I couldn't not pledge after that.
Aw, thank you, that's very kind~ We hope we can provide you with more interesting stuff in the future as well 🧡
What a thoughtful tribute to Outrun especially considering that you weren't even around when the game released, Sega was a much bigger name in the 80's and 90's and I'd say you've done them proud.
Honestly don't get enough of a chance to talk about Sega and their top class games! I started with a Mega Drive in the mid 90s and have been in love ever since.
Wow! Y’all continue to outdo yourselves. Only Transparency would-and could-pull off a comparative analysis of OutRun and Ferris Bueller's Day Off while saying something poignant about aging, maturing, and rejecting the painful allure of idealistic, manufactured identities. All the while being super funny. I already need to rewatch this again :)
Thank you, cookiestar for always being here and leaving nice comments. Means a lot, we appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it so much 🧡
@@Transparencyboo Of course, appreciate all your amazing videos
i really get a kick out of kiki always nervously looking like she expects alicia to jump up and break out in song at a tense dinner party. it is adorable~
As Alicia is well known to do 😏 🧡
hehe
Obviously so out of budget but I'm imagining a version of this video where you two are recording the live parts inside a red convertible.
Always adore your videos you two!
The picture did come to our minds for sure, it would've been extremely cool. But like you say, probably a bit over budget for us, haha.
I love intense content analysis of things that no one on the creation team expected to be analysed to such a level
We're full of surprises!
Love it when the algorithm randomly throws a brick made of solid gold through my window :)
As a lover of the Outrun series and Outrun-like games in general I couldn't resist clicking on this, and I'm glad I did. Great video!
We're glad you found it, thank you for giving it a watch 🧡
Oh so this is where 'outrun' in synthwave/outrun comes from. I also recently watched Drive (2013) which has a lot of synthwave in its soundtrack, and plays with contrasting imagery of driving and cars compared to the game. It's so interesting to view outrun as an origin for contemporary 80s aesthetics.
It was definitely a trend setter in more ways than one.
I never really liked Ferris Bueller's Day Off because Ferris annoyed me as a person. But I think you fixed it! You fixed the movie for me. I get it now.
As always I cant get enough of your writing style and comedic timing. I could watch you two talk about anything (and I will!). Also, nice to see Kiki get it in on the voiceover too :)
Thank you for the nice words, we really appreciate you Skyehoppers 🧡 😊
New Transparency? After a while away? And seeing it on the only racing game I enjoy because a dear friend got me into it?
And five minutes in they have not only got fashion game on point, but have made a cogent, coherent point about the joys in playing as a set character and following this freedom vicariously?
I have missed you, I have missed you so much!
We are sorry for the absence. Believe us, no one wants Transparency to be back more than as us!
I came here to watch a video on a game ive never played (suprisingly, i was a 90’s sega kid) and instead got a great essay on one of my favorite (probably favorite?) teen films. Thank you!
We're all about being unique, and especially the element of surprise. You never know what you'll get!
The best Outrun video essay is also the best Ferris Bueller video essay. Now I can't imagine one without the other. :)
Thank you, and glad that it made an impact! :)
Sega at their most goated, Transparency at their most goated
Sega don't miss!
transpermcy video
I can not get over the transition into Outrun 2! Wow.
Love listening to Kiki wax poetic about the road. Ye both found so much great meaning out of this game. As someone who's never seen any ending, I feel I'm still living the open road experience.
Fantastic video!
Thank you, glad you liked our new duo setup. We think it worked out pretty well :)
I was alive when OutRun came out, but only for a few months. It makes a great answer when video game music memes ask about games that came out the year I was born, because it's soundtrack is bangers all the way down. as for the game itself would you believe the most i've played was in yakuza 0
Sounds like a lot of people have played it through Yakuza Zero, haha. Which is a bit funny and cute.
@@Transparencyboo the series has been a surprisingly solid platform for rereleasing sega arcade classics!
39:39 "Do not *fucking* interact if you have a Ferrari; this channel is not for you."
Heheh, perfect
Gotta draw a line.
@@Transparencyboo A racing line 😎
Awesome video. My favorite racing game back in the 90s was Stunts (for MS-DOS). It had a track builder for building crazy stunt tracks. My friends and I used to build tracks and share them with each other via a BBS another friend of mine used to run.
Sounds like fun. The 90s was a great time for racing games I feel, just a lot of different ones coming out.
I played Outrun thanks to the Yakuza (now known as Like a Dragon) games and it did feel very unique as an arcade game.
Can't say I really gave it enough time to finish a run though, since beating up street thugs sounded more fun.
OutRun on the original arcade settings also takes some work to get really good at. If you want a more leisurely experience go check out Cannonball, wkich is a fan made recreation of the game for PC. It's really good.
As a Chicagoan, Ferris's trip downtown is possible within a day as he is a "local," and we know where everything is. But he would cut it close with traffic heading back to the suburbs when rush hour hits around 3:30 -5:30 PM. On another note: Parades are only held on weekends, not school days.
i love youtube channel transparencyboo
Thank you 🧡
I didn't know much about racing games, so this was super informative. Thank you!
You're welcome 🧡
It took me some times, but I finally got to enjoy the entire ride! And what a ride indeed!
Glad you liked it! :D
Slayed so hard and so raw with this one.
Haha, thank you~
Hopefully one day an arcade accurate Outrunners will make its way to consoles
That would be the best!
I love this era of racing games! My favorite is Top Gear 3000, a future sci-fi racer with incredible synth music.
We'll look it up, sounds cool!
yeah, the three Top Gears were a really big thing in Brazil, i remember playing all of them.
Horizon Chase was developed by some Brazilian devs as a spiritual sucessor, even getting the composer of Lotus turbo and the first Top Gear (Barry Leitch) Top Gear 3 ost was made by Neil Beggin
(had no idea before writing this comment, that it was diferent composers, makes sense how different 3 was from the other two)
@@luizpaulo45 That must be why I like Horizon Chase so much!
Oh wow - an hour long video about Out Run? Gonna have to chip away at this one!
It's filled to the brim with surprises too, haha
This was so good??? Instant sub, I randomly decided to watch this video as I saw I had the 3DS version of the game from years ago but only played it for a few minutes, and this made me appreciate the game so much more.
Thank you, we're all about getting people to dust off their 3DS:es and get that Outrun rolling!
Simply fantastic video! Thanks! 🚘
And thank you too for enjoying it 😊🧡
Y'all actually uploaded this while I'm mid road trip
Perfect road trip entertainment! You're welcome 😎🧡
Took me a long time to get round to watching this video but I wish I'd watched it sooner, absolutely phenomenal! Did not expect a Ferris bueller analysis but was very pleasantly surprised by it
Thank you so much. We aim to surprise and delight 🧡
I just want to say that I really like the straw hat in combo with my new hair cut. I think it's pretty cute and fun. Radical even.
strangely emotional take on outrun :O
watched this the same day as barbie movie so oddly philosophical content day
Transparency try not to be emotional over strange things challenge - Difficulty: Impossible
Always love seeing you two come out with a brand new video.
Also I read the meme, and my favorite racing game is Midtown Madness 3
Honestly, this video is relatable. For a year now, I’ve wanted to drive from California to the northeastern USA in one long trip. It’s the only way I can head somewhere where the horizon takes the longest to finally show up. Maybe one day.
I forgot to say thank you, and glad that you liked it. We hope you take that drive someday!
Blue skies in games forever
Very beautiful!
Excellent video! Thank you for highlighting so accurately the fact that so much of the fun in driving games are actually the things that _frame_ the drive, and not strictly the mechanics. Driving is absolutely an aesthetic experience, and racing games may be overlooked as rather formulaic, but each one actually plays close attention to how to make the player feel speed, attempting to approximate that particular sensory and motoric pleasure.
I don’t have much to add except something I came across randomly a few years ago that someone might find interesting. Simondon, in an unsent letter to Derrida, boldly claims _Marinetti’s futurism made the race-car possible._ And that has always stuck with me. The idea that the technical imaginary is first spurred on by the possibilities announced in aesthetics. In this case, the aesthetics of speed, developed by the futurists, opened up the space to truly think “speed for the sake of speed”. It certainly didn’t spawn from any concerns about utility, the race-car is wonderfully superfluous and impractical. And yet a taste was developed for that particular horizon.
Fantastic video! I never heard of Out Run, so learning about its influence and ambition is kind of wild. The analysis of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, their shared fascination with the perfect day (via the same car brand), and the way they emotionally diverge is also really insightful. It reminds me that non-'cinematic' games still share space with movies by virtue of the fact that they're both artistic expressions capable of provoking similar responses within us. It feels obvious to compare The Last of Us to Children of Men, but coming to a comparison of an arcade racing game and a teen comedy from the same year imo relies on an understanding of games beyond surface-level aesthetics.
This is a tangent, but I feel that the focus games have on having a perfect 'gameplay loop' (like Out Run's perpetual race) can be limiting in terms of games' narrative potential. I'm playing through FF7R right now (this series has a stranglehold on me and I think I will die still playing through FF games), and while its combat is a ton of fun, the game's constantly pushing you to do other stuff that just isn't as fun as hitting things with a giant sword. Still, there's a very clear narrative purpose to herding cats with Tifa or moving crates with Aerith: it's creating emotional space for Cloud's relationships with them to grow, with small emotional beats like 'showing a softer side to an old friend' or 'successfully doing a high five' allowing later moments to feel earned. I'm also playing through Doom Eternal, a game with a perfect loop. Killing demons in that game is to me downright exquisite, but every emotional beat falls flat because they're all (thus far) "oh wow you're the strongest, coolest person in the universe and everyone thinks you're scary but also soooo cool." The plot has no drama or personal emotions because there can't be when everything you do is kill, so the game can only hammer a single emotional beat for its entire run time with. As result, there's no larger emotional arc. You start and end the game in the same place: murdering demons. I'd be fine with that if there weren't just so much plot; in between the cutscenes, the extensive codex entries, and the audio logs, the game's drowning in story, and there's no reason to really care about any of it. There's a definite pressure for games to be perfectly smooth and homogeneous and replayable, and while I understand the benefits to the approach, it feels like the broader gaming culture is ignoring the benefits of other approaches to other types of stories.
Thanks for the kind words. It's refreshing to play games that are mercilessly focused every now and then. Need that variety so we can enjoy the medium to its fullest!
I want to use this opportunity to talk about another 7th game in a popular serie, Dragon Quest VII. It's a game that is famous for how long it is. In the original, you spent 2 hours before getting to your first battle (It's shorter in the original, but still close to 1 hour). Just going back and forth, speaking to the different locals. And I will always defend this decision, because it truly build the connection you have with your party members and makes that first battle an actual event. It adds so many gravitas to everything. When a character leaves the party to let their places for someone else (even if only temporary), it's an actual, serious moment. A personal tragedy, even.
And obviously, there's also The Legends of Heroes serie, with its rich backgrounds, and its NPC who sell have many unique dialogues who changed with each events. The very first game, Trails in the Sky (FC) has you explicitly walking around the country, on foot, and discover the world. You may also get unique quests if you decide to backtrack. And it really helps you physically connect to this land and its inhabitants. When you finally reach the climax, you get why (and who) you're fighting for.
Anyway, I won't ramble much more. I just truly enjoy when games takes their time
But question is: what you OutRun? Your fate, your fear or the death itself?
*Piano music kicks in*
One of the things that's suck with me when it comes to Outrun, is the mix of blue skies and possibility, versus the sunset melencholy of the high score screen and its music. As an Xennial, I was able to experience the game in this twilight space between it being new and being an artifact. It would show up in strange and unexpected spaces. It always felt like a very remote and grown up thing to my young mind. Great video.
Fun and challenging as always! Please keep on 😄 enjoyed it much
Glad you liked it!
This was fantastic. Top notch editing and analysis. I guess you can’t outrun the march of time. 😁
Impossible!
this video is great!!! another excellent video essay!!
Thank you~ glad you liked it!
God damn I love Outrun. I still go play outrun 2 (I think it's 2) at an ice cream/pinball shop near me
If it is OutRun 2 then we really envy you. Would love to have one of those arcade machines close to us, haha.
A very lovely video.
I unashamedly adore and always am very delighted to hear the "Coincidentally, the greatest.." joke!
We love that bit because it's both funny and true at the same time 🧡👩🎨
Watching this partly because I know whatever you say about it will be interesting, and partly to find out why, whenever I play it, the game just stops a few seconds in and I apparently did something that made me lose
Try out the fan made recreation of the arcade version called Cannonball. It's on PC and free. Really good version, and it has some nice settings that makes it easier :)
I'm not a moviewatcher, so while Ferris Bueller's Day Off is pop culture enough that references to it get made often, I never really put much of it together in my head until now.
I never expected that my first time really getting to know the movie would be through an essay on SEGA's goddamn OutRun. But y'know, maybe I should've.
What can we say; we love surprises. :)
Your custom art is so good in this one!!! I love the angularity of it all, and the colours are So good
Thank you! Kiki worked very hard on the art as usual. Glad you liked it :)
Ya'lls essays are so good. I love the way you communicate vibes
Thank you, we love doing it :)
Absolutely amazing video. I love this. Great job.
Thank you for watching!
Really liked how this video was put together!! And thanks for having subtitles on as always!! Outrun is so nice to look at, and I felt the movie did add to the theme/video pretty well, very nicely done. I do also feel validated knowing others also constantly beef it however (I just gave up on the yakuza 0 outrun minigame I had to do for a side thing)
anyway, great stuff!! also lol the end
wait I forgot! the art for the video looks awesome!!?? and YES by the time I finished the video I forgot to also raise my hand that I also remember lego racers. what a weird game
my favorite racing game? honestly, mario kart 8..... I do have a big soft spot for HOT WHEELS TURBO RACING and Rush on the N64 though
Thanks for the kind words. The thumbnail was a lot of fun to make, I got to pay homage to an old favorite piece of Sonic artwork!
Beautiful video ❤ Outrun (particularly 2 and its variants) are about as pure as games get to me.
Top class driving games!
I almost didn't watch this video, because it's about a racing game 🙈😅
I'm so glad I did 🥰🥰
We're glad you decided to watch it too. I guess you can always count on us to make something unexpected and interesting, haha 🧡
Did you go to Chicago and take these pics for the video, or were they just a happy coincidence? 😂
Fantastic video.
Sonic R is my all time favorite racing game, and game in general.
Hahaha, no. It was a coincidental thing, Kiki went there in 2016. You can bet we would've made more use of the trip if it was for the video!
Coincidentally, the 1997 spritual successor InWalk is also an instant classic and the best fame ever made
Hey, that's our bit! 😏
new transparency!
ALL NEW!
Going through this I wasn't expecting this to go to ferris bueller. Great Video.
We aim to surprise and delight! 😌
they are definitely vampires
Outrun 2 certified halloween game.
This game with middle aged or old couple would only be more charming.
There are a lot of casual games with old protags already, I suspect this trend will spread around other genres eventually.
Would be cool, I'd be all for it!
There is no channel on TH-cam quite like yours ❤
Also I really love that shot of the Ferrari toy on the turntable, straight out of a TV shopping channel, hahaha
Thank you, we try to stick out, haha. We were actually thinking of making it appear in a TV shopping channel like window at one point, but be decided to scrap it this time around. Would've added a lot of extra work sadly :)
Now I’m interested in Outrun 2
It's a great game. Sadly not widely available for purchase anywhere. Although the PS2 version of Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast emulates pretty well and Outrun Online Arcade does as well on that fancy PS3 emulator as well. So those are pretty good options. There is also an Xbox version if you own an OG one (haven't tried emulating that one).
@@Transparencyboo I got an OG Xbox literally less than a month ago, so it’s perfect timing. Going right to the top of my list
@@HeroOfLegend115 Awesome! The perfect game to go with that big boy! :)
that button down the chick on the left is wearing is sick as hell. well written well produced video too i guess
Kiki says thank you 🧡
Wow, tänk att jag som var tonåring på 80-talet aldrig sett Ferry Buellers day off 😮
Vi får fixa det!
I've seen and tried various outrun inspired games, and honestly the original just feels right. again, like you guys, I wasn't even born when outrun came out. I imagine I'm decently younger than you guys are. and Outrun just feels almost timeless. like, yeah it's retro, and maybe the controls could be slightly better, but it feels correct, and seems wrong in any other way. out-run inspired games just kinda feel like.. "racing games with out-run aesthetics" than out-run games.
A lot of Outrun games don't even fully capture the vibe. I think Turbo Outrun is far too much of a detour for my tastes. It truly is a fine balance!
NEW TRANSPARENCY VIDEO ESSAYISTS CANCEL YOUR PLANS
I do be thinking about hang on to be fair. Great soundtrack on that.
A big occasion!
Ok outrun hot take whatever song you pick in outrun is the real character choice, and by extension its a game where aesthetic taste is a valued skill as much as God gaming, predicting the era of Fortnite avatars
@@wusstunes This is 100% true, and it is in fact word for word what they said while developing the game.
@@Transparencyboo you're so right about the original having this aesthetic perfection that the sequels can't quite capture also! Really inspiring me to finish my cruisn usa essay.
@@wusstunes You can do it, we believe in you! 🐎
OUTRUN!!!!
!!
LETS GOOOOOOOO ❤❤❤❤❤
!!!!
Fantastic video! Now I don't if I should play Outrun for the first time, watch Ferris Bueller for the first time, take a trip to nowhere in particular or languish in the fact that they are a fleeting or downright unobtainable joy!...
I'd say go for Outrun, you can play the arcade games on Archive.org, or set up the extension software Cannonball quite easily. A sure fire escape from the existential dread!
the car crash is so brutal. lol.
It's pretty amazing, yeah!
great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

BRB, watching SPEED RACER twenty more times.
OMG need the vampire racing game.
that is the catch of escapism, isn't it? That the fantasy world presented must be always somehow *better* than the real one, lest the former shatters like a glass ball breaking...
Or must it? Can a fantasy world simply just offer something, 'different', than what we're used to, and that's enough?
Do we subject ourselves t-
Wait,... why does Ferris looks so... familiar, when he stands like that at 25:25?...
[Quick IMDB search later]
Oh my GOD that's right Matthew Brodrick was also *Inspector FUCKING Gadget* HAHAHAHAHA
I'm glad someone else thought about it. Who knows? Maybe they were foreshadowing it all the way back then!
@@Transparencyboo it also occurs to me that a main component of both of these movies is a car becoming destroyed. It was so bad in Inspector Gadget that they had to give him an AI car so he'd never do it again
I'm ready for the content to wash over me.
Is it weird I want to play Wave Race 64 now?
Not at all, ride off into that horizon!
This video should be accompanied by a thumbnail of Kiki's face superimposed on the 'aliens' meme, replaced as ''80s guys'
No, in fact I think it is very much in line with this, haha.
🌴🌴🌴🏖
Summer vibes~
Man, I played this a lot on my Genesis (or Mega Drive for you EU Sega fans), and game's always been a cozy game to play.
Didn't know how you'd make an essay on Outrun, until I see dissertations on Ferris Bueller and the Ferrari itself. Excellently made, you two!
Makes me yearn for another Outrun game, but I guess we'll have to make do with whatever indie studios put out in the mean time.
If Sega won't get the license they should just go back to making the car a knock-off again, damnit!
It's a curious thing, to see the two of you cut yourself off from impossible dreams, and also those who experience a taste of them.
Did you ever wonder if you lived everything someone else might wish for, but never achieve?
Should those of us cursed by the worst life can offer place similar walls around ourselves? If so, who is it really helping? If not, how does one cross the divide between the haves and the haves not?
Please don't think me unaware of the importance of boundaries in dealing with anonymous strangers - this is more about the underlying principles, rather than this specific situation.
are you on drugs
ohhh y'all, when there's the crt turned on while yall are talking there's a really annoying high pitch buzz that makes this harder to watch for me, maybe put an equalizer on your audio !!
Ah, sorry about that. Guess we have a bit of busted hearing because we didn't pick up on that at all. We always equalize and add a noise gate to our audio, so it's strange it bled through. Anyway, will have to look into that for next time.
@@Transparencyboo usually i think these sorts of buzzing sounds are around 18 khz, so i'd suggest entirely or partially removing whatever's above that range!
@@bunshine Hope you can still find some enjoyment out of this one anyway. Thank you 🧡

As much as I like SEGA, while their racing games are good, I don't think they're the very best. Then again, I think "The Very Best" is Jak X, so take that how you will.
Jak X does have funny scenes with Daxter being a little gremlin though!
lol wtf? I was born in 86 lol. The best year for a gamer to be born in : )
Yup. I'm a age elitist gamer who thinks he's better than everyone for being born at this time lululul.
The good ol' 80s. Being 90s kids ourselves we're all about the sanic and the crash bandiku
