Ramjet

Right.

Roger Ramjet, greeting civilians.

Just to pick up on a point about Star Wars Galactic Racer, where the pod kind of agreed that Ramjet is a dumb name for a boost.

because it's not used for crushing into people.

They can go twice as fast as a regular jet engine because they don't have any moving parts that can fail at high speed, but they cannot be used from a standing start.

It's probably one of the most video game-ass things out there if you look at it from a certain point of view.

Ta-da! Roger Ramjet, hero of your nation.

I mean, Roger, that is some bit of feedback.

Those were tough times around 9/11.

And despite the dis- differences with the Bushes and Trump today, that was a very trying time, and he told me stories of, uh, you know, President Bush on the video teleconference calls every morning at 4:30 in the morning, uh, because there was like seven and a half hour difference to the time zone into Afghanistan, with our generals, 'cause he was a fighter pilot and a Ramjet pilot, an F102, F106 Delta Dagger pilot in the y- in Texas National Guard.

You know, so he knew the lingo.

And he told me all those war stories, and I thought, uh, he was incredible.

Like, so the way it works is-... at least with the speeder, you hold R- I'm playing on PS5, so you hold R2 to accelerate, and then you have a standard booster that you can basically use in full whenever it's available.

And then, like you said earlier, there's the Ramjet, which you have to click R3 and then X, I believe.

And what this game really perfectly nails is, like, if you liked that pod- uh, podcast, [laughs] God damn it.

If you liked that pod racing sequence in Phantom Menace, the...

It's really tense.

It's really exciting.

And the Ramjet is really cool because, like you said, you can overheat, and if you overheat all the way, you explode.

Yeah, the, the...

In that case, let's see how you handle some real serious engine power.

The Ramjet on this baby doesn't mess around.

Show me what you can do with it.

Sure, okay.

See how much distance you can get out of the Ramjet.

That's what I'll be measuring you on.

The longer, the better.

[gentle music] Don't forget, Shade, I'm tracking your total distance with the Ramjet, so really go for it.
