Post-Game Talk: 2018 Winter Olympics - PyeongChang, South Korea February 9-25

[Bruinaura]

I'm going to date myself, but one of my favorite computer games growing up was Winter Olympics on my brother's Commodore 64.


Yay for 80s computer graphics

 

[Bruinaura]

I feel like I'm on It's A Small World at Disney

This alphabet situation is throwing me way off

Ha, me too.

 

[Bruinaura]

Is it just me, or was that the shortest program ever before the athletes parade?

 

[Bruinaura]

Germany looks like walking graham crackers in those coats

What if I told you I have a Commadore 64 in a box in my basement and I am fairly certain I have this game in there as well as Bruce Lee and Montezuma's Revenge and Bard's Tale and Wild Wild West and hmmmm Rollerball? I'm trying to remember all of the games I loved.

Awesome my brother still has his, with the five inch floppy drive and all. Our other favorite was Fahrenheit 451. My brother was much better at it. He wrote down all the code phrases and I used that when I played. I'm sure he has many other games as well.

Seemed very short indeed

 

[Bruinaura]

I just got chills seeing the flag and they weren't even out in the stadium yet

There are no US flag emojis on the board?

yeah, they were just really unattractive coats.

I love the march of nations. All these tiny delegations

 

[Bruinaura]

I did love the costumes, though. As opposed to the ones in Rio where I was convinced they were designed by someone on some very potent drugs.

Can you imagine knowing you are the only person representing your country? Admittedly most of those are very small countries, but still, that's great.

 

[Bruinaura]

I like everything about the US uniforms except those gloves.

That fringe. Woof.

 

[Bruinaura]

I've never watched a sled hockey game, but I want to watch it this year.

Bermuda! You maniacs!

I thought they were wearing falconry gloves. Just huge and ugly. Apparently they were popular as Polo sold out of them

 

[Gee Wally]

Is it just a parade tonight?

They had a very short program right before it, don't know if they are planning anything else after the parade other than the torch lighting. Very odd.

Thx.
With no real hockey I only want to watch for the crashes. Luge, bobsled, downhill, etc..

Yeah, im sick like that.

remember, some of the events began yesterday, it's about a 16 hour time difference, too ie 5:30 pm US Time is Saturday or the next day
