Hey Patrons,

I've wanted to make a Wipeout 2097 doc for years and while we didn't hear back from many of the devs, I did record a fantastic interview with Tim " Cold Storage" Wright last year. Then a few months ago I decided I didn't want to sit on it any more and watched it back, and it was clear to me that there was enough here to talk about the parts of Wipeout that I find the most fascinating.

This documentary is a love letter to so many of my favorite parts of gaming; the Amiga demo scene, early 90s PlayStation Games, Psygnosis , dance music, and of course Wipeout 2097. Putting it together with Jeremy was a lot of fun too (these shades man). The whole idea was to create something that would evoke the same nostalgia you feel when booting up these classic games. I've re-watched this doc 4 times already so I'm hoping it works on you too.

Let us know what you think in the comments.
