Hey Patrons,

Here's another entertaining extended cut from our Rocket League series. This time with Psyonix founder and CEO Dave Hagewood. This was by far our longest interview of the day, and there was plenty of interesting answers and anecdotes that sadly didn't make final cut.

The reception to these extended cuts has been really amazing, so I just want to thank you all for helping make this a possibility. Sharing $10 and up patrons early access to these videos is one of the most satisfying parts of the Patreon. It really demonstrates how close you all are to this project, and how crucial your patronage and feedback is to the growth of Noclip.

Hope you're all enjoying your weekends!
