Apologies for the super late posting of this episode, it would've come out on Friday if we didn't have one of those really busy weeks here. Busy at work and busy at home because there was a house guest that had to be looked after until they left yesterday. Also, I do have to apologise for the minor dip in audio quality. I ran the original video file (which was over 2GB) through two different video compression programs: the first program kept the audio quality well enough but the visuals looked a bit squashed. The second program maintained the visuals but the audio has that little telltale sign of a file that has been compressed, especially when you hear the Out Run songs. The dip doesn't spoil the episode but I just wanted to let you know, especially those of you with good ears for sound quality.

Out Run was just a few years before my time and as I've tried to recall to my arcade venturing days in the early 90's, I can't remember if I saw the game in either of places I would visit. It could've been there but I just didn't play it. But I do appreciate the influence that it had on racing and driving games which came years later such as Need For Speed and Gran Turismo that I did have a chance to play. I couldn't find any video interviews with Kawaguchi, those would've been a nice addition because I wanted to hear him talk about putting together the game's amazing soundtrack. I like jazz so I'll be sure to search for that jazz album mentioned in the Scarflix video which the Out Run team had to listen to, maybe some of those songs will make it into a future #SoulfulSunday set 😎

Hello hello, how's it going? I have some good news to share with you, something which I hope will be a nice way to end the week. Behold... It took a while but here we are with the internet upgrade that I had been hoping for. That's the router in the photo above, sitting on one of our old TVs in the dining room. Bought from one of the local mobile networks for $200 USD and monthly we'll be paying $45 for a 5mbps semi-unlimited data package (the actual data cap 1TB but nobody here will be live-streaming or online all day everyday so I doubt we'll reach that cap...unless of course someone decides to save all their super downloading for the days just before the subscription ends. Hmm...). For any of you reading this and shaking your head at the price and the speeds for that price, I totally understand because I know it's a rip off but that's the best package being offered currently outside of what Elon Musk's Starlink is apparently asking for (lowest price is ab...
