I don’t know about you guys, but I suddenly have a burning urge to grab some glow sticks, find a warehouse and b-b-b-b-bring like that in time to be raided by the cops as I leg it to the loo to responsibly recycle my uh…um…fast-acting Prozac pills.

I like to think of WipEout as one of those seminal games of anyone’s youth.
