This episode came out great with a lot of late 90s/early 00s nostalgia as RRT4 really encapsulates that time period like no other game we've done (or any other game we can think of at all). Set during the run up to the year 2000, this racer surprised us both with it's heart and technical prowess.

This 2 hour episode has 30 minutes at the end where we learn about video game laws, agreements and patents first hand. Haley was an absolute pro and we appreciate her giving us her time!

We also have new(ish) merch store which you can find below! It's a bit cheaper for you and postage is a bit faster (but also not an evil company).
