Thank your own personal deity—possibly trickster God Sun Wukong—it's Friday! As per always, I'm going to get your weekend started right with a bunch of price slashes. If I don't see you, stay safe, save often, and catch you Monday!

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 21st birthday of Outrun 2, the closest Sega got to arcade racer perfection. Essentially, the essence of the 1986 original—going flat out in a Ferrari with some rad tunes on your radio, a romantic prospect riding shotgun, and branching scenery whipping past—was modernised with a new emphasis on sublime drifting and six more prancing ponies in your stable. My mates and I spent a ludicrous amount of coins in the multiplayer-linked cabinets of this. It's a sin that the ports and sequels of this have been delisted everywhere.
