[Hero_Lief]

Yeah, I know xD
Made this thread out of complete BOREDOM. ><

I watched the Opening Cerimonies earlier today, 100 million dollar show, it was amazing. It should be mildly interesting. I hope Lithuania gets a medal in basketball this year. Canada usually takes homes some medals too.

 

[Arvedui]

Sigh, the Olympics aren't special anymore. They stopped being special a long time ago.

The only reason I watched the last Olympics was because it was in Greece. 'Twas a sad day in history when America didn't win the Basketball Gold Medal.

Anyway, I have no desire to watch this Olympics. Most of the time it's insanely boring. I watched part of the opening ceremony and it was alright. I didn't get to see it all so I can't really comment, but usually the most exciting part is the opening ceremony.

I appreciate all the hard work that the athletes from all nations put in, but it's just not all that exciting to me. I don't know why.

 

[Hero_Lief]

Meh... This year, even though they exxagerate it, it just... Isn't good. =\

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

I'd say the highlight of the opening ceremony was the drum number. The rest of it had me expressing mild disinterest.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i liked the boxes.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

This year's Olympics are the best! Because it's in China! They spent over double time more money to Olympics than Greece! Wow!

 

[frostwhisper]

What do you expect? Each year the spectacular factor of the opening ceremony is increased more and more. This year was a good example. The drums, the parchment and the torch at the end... Wow!

 

[Aeroblyctos]

The best Olympics so far!

 

[brad.dude03]

and China definitely has the ceromony for it. Chinese culture always demands huge cerimony, so they pulled out all the stops for this one. A HUNDRED million dollars. The fireworks were nuts too. Three hours worth of fireworks. God knows how much that cost, they were setting them off left right and center.

Show some American Pride on an American Server on an American Website! wahoo

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Show some American Pride on an American Server on an American Website! wahoo

You have to be some kind of moron. Ralle is from Denmark! And this probably an "international" forum, not an American forum, ehh.

American pride? What the fuck is that?

 

[Just_Spectating]

Global Pride FTW!

 

[Arvedui]

Global Pride?

Fuck that. The Olympics is about showing how much better your nation is than all the others, through athletic means.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Really? because there was a commercial that Specifically said that we dont root for who is the same ethnicity as you, we root for anyone, simply because we are Human.

 

[Arvedui]

Really? because there was a commercial that Specifically said that we dont root for who is the same ethnicity as you, we root for anyone, simply because we are Human.

If you believe that, you're sadly mistaken. The Olympics are about competition and winning.

And no you don't root for anyone that's the same ethnicity. As far as I know, a lot of the American Olympians aren't my ethnicity, but I want them to win.

 

[Huurka]

American pride? What the fuck is that?

The same as gay pride.

 

[AntoMarc]

Romania have won the judo gold medal YaY

 

[brad.dude03]

Congratulations to them! Who got silver, do you know?

 

[JetFangInferno]

USA vs. China in basketball 101:70 Go USA

 

[Arvedui]

USA vs. China in basketball 101:70 Go USA

Agreed.

Also, Phelps broke a world record for swimming. Gold.

 

[Samuraid]

I really liked the ceremony, not only because it was excellently made and performed, but also because it was technically extremely complex.

They had multiple kilometers of fiber optic cable in the stadium for data distribution, a large network of HP procurve gigabit switches, 120 media servers with Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPUs for all the projected graphics, nearly 150 projectors, 11 lighting consoles, and 2300 automated lights. From a technical standpoint, it was simply amazing.

 

[brad.dude03]

Some much tech goodness....

Pff I do that in my backyard all the time!

I haven't even watched one event yet. : (
The fact that we don't have any channels might be a slight problem.

Winter Olympics ftw!

I saw that, he was swimming like a fucking shark. Our swimmer, László Cseh can kiss goodbye to the gold, no matter how awesome he is.

 

[Just_Spectating]

USA - Gold

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

To the Olympics! *runs and smashs into a wall*

 

[Aeroblyctos]

USA vs. China in basketball 101:70 Go USA

Bah, China got more skills, USA niqah power just are so strong they rush, they don't got so much skills.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

I've cleaned the thread of unnecessary posts.

Aeroblyctos, you've had quite a history of trolling Americans. It would be preferable if you stopped.

 

[Arvedui]

This was brought to my attention by Eleandor in a wc3 creations thread.

Olympic Fireworks Faked For TV - Yahoo! News UK

I think it's rather funny.

 

[Hero_Lief]

Man, that is funny.

 

[Sansui]

Talking about the upcoming 4x100 freestyle relay, Bernard made this comment when asked about Team USA: "The Americans? We're going to smash them. That's what we came here for."

And who wins the gold, USA, best race I've seen in my life. Seriously its a must see.

 

[Just_Spectating]

btw i dont think thats funny, especially because the reporter specifically said (when i was watching anyway) "right here, you are watching a computerized sequence of fireworks representing the steps to the start of the olympics" or something like that.

btw it was pretty obvious that it was fake.

 

[cheesdude]

China cheated in the women's gymnastics. There is no way half of those girls are above 12. It's bullshit that talented American girls get silver, when over-worked pre-pubescent 8 year old kids with baby teeth in their mouths get gold.

Bullshit.

 

[Just_Spectating]

LOL, you know, olympics checks these things with birth certificates and everything. (THEY SERIOUSLY LOOKED LIKE BABIES!)

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

There is no way half of those girls are above 12.

You don't know Asian girls.

 

[Sansui]

LOL the chinese government MAKES their documents its pretty easy to fake.
It has always been that way and always will.


Hahhaha i laughed so hard when he said the Olympics checks those things. LMAO.
It's not like its hard for a government to create a false governmental document. ahahahha. oh that was funny.


Oh and it's fact that china is using underage athletes at least two are 14 according to China's own newspapers and websites.
Their ages are different by two years from the international competitions they competed in and the ones the government supplied to the authorities. FUCKING FUNNY.

 

[Septimus]

Jamaica win gold, silver and bronze at 100 meter.. that's really....

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Wow, that was amazing by Jamaica. +rep to Jamaica

Bullshit.

I would say, owned.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Yay, today we won our first gold medal in these olympics

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Where are you from, Mechanical Man?

 

[Ghost765]

umm...the reason why i consider this an american website is because: its in english, and since .com was originally an american domain thing. are we speaking chinese? no.
just because Ralle (if he's not a lie =.=) is from denmark doesnt mean that this is a denmark website is it now?
