High_Beam Posted June 29 Author Posted June 29 (edited) Sorry the first post was so, not content-filled. The Summer games hold a special place in my heart. I remember the 76' games, watching the gymnastics and Nadia scoring the first perfect 10 and I was just amazed by her and of course how could those people run so fast. My love of the Olympics waned as certain aspects were diluted and of course the networks showing less and less of the games. I don't mind a legitimate feel-good story but more often than not they are manufactured drama to fill in the fact that most people don't want to watch the shot put. But when I was in the Navy and overseas I got to see other nations coverage and was once again reinvigorated to watch and cheer. So when I realized there were tools that would allow me to view other nations' superior coverage I was happy. Are there events I don't care about? SURE. Rhythmic gymnastics can eat my a$$ and the same goes for basketball. Some just make me laugh. Break dancing? Really. Hello Paris, the 80's called and they want their hobby back. But yeah. Excited. There better be some gaultier-inspired costume design in the opening ceremonies.

Techwright Posted June 29 Posted June 29 I find it interesting they're in Paris exactly 100 years from that other Paris Olympics when Eric Liddle and and Harold Abrams became legends. Chariots of Fire was at least 60% fiction, but it did serve to highlight these men, as well as Sam Mussabini and Jackson Scholz, to new generations. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rummaging in the attic for my old Vangelis cassette tape and see if I can migrate the recording to digital.
ThaOGDreamWeaver Posted August 2 Posted August 2 If anyone's better at Mids than I am, what AT is Simone Biles? I'm thinking MA/Super Reflexes Scrapper with Leaping, Flight, possibly Teleport as well because how in tarnation... Sad to see Andy Murray bow out for good pushing the drama button just one too many times. But it's been a hell of a run and good to quit while you're having fun with it. 🏴 Finally, mildly surprised we haven't had a bunch of Korean DP/Devices and Turkish DP/T-Shirt guys wandering around Atlas. WAKE UP YA MISCREANTS AND... HEY, GET YOUR OWN DAMN SIGNATURE. Look out for me being generally cool, stylish and funny (delete as applicable) on Excelsior.
