I love how a few minutes in it just turns into a deep dive into the shovelware company (RAN BY THE GUY WHO FOUNDED BUNGIE?!) that made this

4.5 MILLION IN SEED FUNDING FOR FORTNITE MAPS matt-joker back in my day people just made stuff like this for free and uploaded it to FPSBanana chomsky-yes-honey and now you're getting VENTURE CAPITAL FUNDING for this shit, like genuinely this is so fucking bleak I couldn't possibly have predicted where this video would go

also between this and whatever's going on with Destiny I'm starting to think that maybe these Bungie folks weren't all that good

my favourite bit is how the car horn plays like the exactly wrong amount of Buddy Holly before suddenly cutting off

Martin O'Donnell, who made all those great Halo tracks, is a massive chud too. His company was responsible for that fucking Six Days in Fallujah game coming back from the dead after a decade, because I guess he really wanted that particular war crime simulator to get released.

I love the car model halfway placed on top of a different car model with "weezer" crudely printed on the roof. Those extra tyres must add a lot to the performance.
