Whats your thoughts on "County Roads" being the official song of the US National Team during the 2026 World Cup?

Whats your thoughts on "County Roads" being the official song of the US National Team during the 2026 World Cup?

To be honest, I was completely taken back by this. A song about one particular state that makes up .5% of the US population being the song that apparently represents America. Of all the array of songs we could have chosen to represent us it was John Denver and County Roads that we pick.

I was really shocked when this was played in Seattle and literally the whole stadium knew the words.

Now I am not saying that black men cannot be into County and/or like John Deer....but what are your thoughts on this considering the deep lineup of songs across an array of American made genres we could have pulled up?

[OoT] As a millennial who played OoT in 1998, its interesting to see so many younger people react emotionally when seeing the OoT remake trailer

This in no way is meant to gatekeep cause Zelda/OoT is for everyone.

I am 40, was 13 when Ocarina of Time first came out as I got it for Christmas in 1998. I remember reading Nintendo Power each month looking for updates on what was then known as *Zelda 64*. Prior to this, A Link to the Past was my most cherished Nintendo experience so *Zelda 64* was a huge deal. A game with a full day/night cycle and a world that reacts to it. A game where I can play as both kid and adult Link. Ride a horse. And most importantly, explore Hyrule on a 3D setting just like Mario 64....*"realistic"* graphics.

Ocarina of Time was a transformative experience for many of us older millennials and even Gen Xers.

But I have been seeing a lot of positive reactions from younf people, many of which was born **after** OoT originally released. Many even reacting in a very emotional way and to be honest, I am sort of shocked. Most who was born after OoT likely grew up on Windwaker or even Twilight Princess and thus does not have the same nostalgia as someone who played the the game circa 1998-2000.

Honest question but for those that are much younger, where does the hype, especially on the emotional level come from for a game like OoT?

Thanks

Where is the designated Reviews thread?

I posted a review from Gamespot only for it to be taken down with the message for me to post in the designated review thread and didn't provide a link.

I looked at the 4 Pinned topics and none of them are for reviews.

Anyone got a link to the designated review thread?
