@theJGG It works? Of course it works, it's music!
But all kidding aside, the song was officially licensed as being part of the sound track of the first Project CARS game, selected by its own community. There's similar songs accompanying the second game in the series as well.
I don't know if you own any of the games or if you know the story behind it, but the name Project CARS is actually an acronym: CARS is short for Community Assisted Racing Simulator, because the initial trial of the game was done by thousands of community beta testers, and a couple of professional race drivers, so that they could iron out all the errors and fine tune all the necessary parts that make up a good simulator.
Oh, and you're welcome. I don't know if you have any tools/programs to convert the video to an mp3 so that you can use it on a console or a media player, but here's one where you can paste the YouTube link and then download the music only: https://ytmp3.cc/en13/
The original producer of the song, British DJ Coven, or Koven, as he is now called, was only 19 when he made that song. Nowadays, he has plenty more songs to listen to. All it takes is a quick YouTube search...
@ThanosReXXX All right cool, thanks. I have no clue where my old Wii is though, lol. By the way, the red Wii can play GameCube games. It came out in 2010 for Mario's 25th anniversary, before the Wii Family Edition came out a year later. The Family Edition was the one that removed GC compatibility.

@Blooper987 be confident, polite and tell the truth. It's easy to spot someone who's blagging their way through - if you are asked something you don't know, admit ypu don't know but say that you will strive to learn and use it for future development.
@theJGG I've had Persona 5 Royal and Horizon Zero Dawn on my radar for quite some time. I've also been wanting to play Final Fantasy VII Remake and Crash Bandicoot 4, as well. Thanks for the tip - I think I'll start out with the PS4 games, plus I'll already be set for PS5 games when I do get them.
I've been thinking about it for a bit, and I may end up getting a PS5 this holiday season. It kind of depends on how much 1st-party stuff the Switch is gonna get this year, because last year was pretty slow with some sudden game announcements thrown in. No, I'm never giving up Nintendo, that would be silly if I did. I just want more games to play, that's all. lol

It's Amelia Watson. She's a vtuber, just like my old profile pic, Korone. She's basically what I would probably look like as an anime girl. She's one of my top role models for what I want to be like when I start a YouTube channel.
@Blooper987 I hadn't heard of her sorry, had a quick look and she seems cool so I will check some of her streams out later.
What sort of content are you thinking of creating for yoir channel - game streams?
@Mr-Fuggles777 Gaming streams, anime and game reviews, and some one off funny stuff. I would become a Vtuber, but it's like 250$ on fiverr to get someone to create an avater and finding out all the technological stuff would be a hassle. I've already planned out what my character would look like in my head though(and kinda on paper too). He would be part wolf with gray hair all sweeped to one side, with two different colored eyes. He would have a scar through his right eye and he would have a fur coat on. His name would be Kody Inume. I'll probably just end up making videos with no facecam or character at first though and see if I enjoy making content.
@Blooper987 why not start with a Twitch channel while you get the hang of running a stream, and then invest in the Fursona for a YouTube channel and start to grow it from there.
If you wanted a more varied content type (streams and normal videos), it would probably be better to have a YouTube channel instead, much more flexibility imo. If you started out primarily streaming, I guess twitch would be the better choice.
@Blooper987 First and foremost, just be yourself, don't over-sell it. Second: take a note pad with you, and either have questions prepared or write down stuff they tell you. Makes you look more interested and engaged.
Other than that, just relax and know that this is a two-way street: you're not going to an interrogation, they also need to sell their company to you. Besides you trying to sell yourself to them, it should also be the other way around: let them sell it to you. Why would you WANT to work there?
Ask about stuff like possibilities for personal growth, what exactly they're looking for (what was their reason to invite you? which of your qualities matched with their wishes for a candidate and so on). Let them talk, listen and use the answers to confirm what they think they could find in you, long as it is true, obviously. Or as long as you're sure you'll be able to meet those requirements in a reasonable amount of time.
Remember: they invited you, so they're already interested, you only need to confirm what they're hoping to find in you. All it takes is to confirm that and to be really interested in what they have to offer.
P.S.
If they're not willing to give clear answers, or if they are evading specific points/topics, then there's probably something they left out of the job profile, meaning it could be considerably less interesting than they made it out to be, in which case you might want to look further than this opportunity.
Personally, I also always go with my gut feeling: if the people and the company/surroundings feel good, then there's always a good chance that you'll be able to find yourself in a good place, regardless of whether or not it ticks all of the boxes on your wish list. If it doesn't feel good from the get go, then I'd say it's a definite no.
Good luck!
@MarioLover92 Yeah, I know all about the "Family Edition". More like the "Clueless Buyer" Edition...
I've soft-modded quite a few Wii's back in the day, even those ones, and even though it ultimately always worked out, I always found it rather stupid how they gimped those specific versions. (edit: they did not remove GameCube compatibility from those versions, by the way. They just removed the controller ports and memory card slots, but those Wii's can still natively play GameCube discs, because the motherboard and chip set is the same, which is why you can still softmod it to get that functionality out of it)
Well, at least you got one of the good versions, then.
@Blooper987 Ah, never mind. I see you already finished the interview. Good on you. Still: these rules always apply, so you'll still be able to keep them in mind for the next time you go to a job interview.

@ThanosReXXX thanks!😂 it was really weird cause it was online and it only took about 10 minutes. We basically just went down a list of questions for me and then I asked her a couple. I think I answered all the questions pretty well, but we’ll see if I hear back.
