    I shed a tear when Piper showed up. I miss when Fallout games didn't have a new controversy every week. At least Fallout 76 made this song happen, so I can be thankful for that. And thank you, Mr. Hollens for making my ears ascend to heaven once again.

      The game is now awesome. I don't get the hate at this point. You can buy the game on sale for 15 bucks or get it free on console and get HUNDREDS of hours out of it. I have well over 1000 hours and still play it and I haven't spent a cent in the game and have no issues. People just never let it go.

      The game series takes place in a post-nuclear-apocalyptic United States about 200 years after a nuclear war had obliterated human civilization. The first two games (Fallout and Fallout 2) are set in the western United States where civilization has made somewhat of a comeback with two countries having successfully formed: the democratic New California Republic and the dictatorial Caesar's Legion. Then Bethesda Game Studios, the developer of The Elder Scrolls, took over the IP and the next few games (Fallout 3 and Fallout 4) were set in the eastern United States where civilization hasn't come back at all and it's still an open anarchic wasteland.
      Well, this coming week Bethesda is releasing the next Fallout game, Fallout 76, which is a prequel to the other games and takes place right after the nuclear war in West Virginia. They've been using Country Roads as their main marketing theme for the game.

    I am not a professional musician: also I cannot play an instrument and sing at the same time.. What a disaster... But what I do have is a great ear with melody and harmony. I keep hearing and comparing your version of the song compared to others... AND there is one note that you do... that transcends the song to another level... I am sure you know what it is...its a minor chord in the melody when you sing country roads; and you take that note and hold it longer and make it more more in the ballad.
    ... Its an amazing song; and you make it even better! Every time i hear another version... I sing your extra addition in it!

    Hah, this was cool. I mainly just really like the cover of this song (love John Denver!), but the video is amusing. I'm pretty sure I missed a bunch of in-jokes related to the game, since I don't play -- including the use of this song, beyond what you said at the end of the video about WV -- but it was still cute and funny with my extremely vague knowledge of the game.
