FlatOut was a title that I was really looking forward to grab back in 2004! Followed every step of the developing process and wasn’t disappointed when it was finally released!
Crashing and mashing cars has never been so much fun!
Enjoy this 4K review!

XBox! So many good memories. Crimson Skies and the Big Duke controller!

I loved that thing, finally one that wasn't too small and irritating for my Viking hands - worst part of the dreamcast was cramped fingers. Though MS did a good job splitting the difference with the Xbox 360 controller, that seems to do well for everyone.

Happy days!

I was a bit behind:

AkumajouDracula vid was awesome! Now I want to track it down to play. :)

Grid looks amazing, I had no idea. I only saw it in PS4 store and never quite got why it was interesting and expensive, but now makes lots more sense. I see why you like racing games.

Congrats on 100 episodes and going strong!
