Opening ceremony is HILARIOUS. Had to stop watching because i wanna watch it on an actual tv and not a stream. I advise everyone to watch!

I'm not too impressed with the opening ceremony. I think Beijing's was much better.

Nothing will ever top Beijing 2008 until they get to host it again. That ceremony was the most epic display of anything, ever.

But seriously. Like a Boss.
Re: **Official Olympics Thread**
Wow...
That ceremony shouldn't even be compared to Beijing, they're completely fucking different.
It was cheeky, risky, entertaining and electric. They pulled it off, and they made a fucking good job of it.
That ceremony was unique; I'm pretty certain I've never seen anything like that before.

If you pay for any of the listed cable companies already, you just use your login info. I find it hard to believe you don't have at least basic cable. I'm sure many will chime in after this comment.aLpha.cn-[tang] wrote:Is there a site streaming the events? nbcolympics sucks dick and won't let me watch any events without going through a TV subscription thing first...

Re: **Official Olympics Thread**
Believe it or not, I'm not home and do not have basic cable. Opted for just cable internet since no one in the apartment really watches TV much and my housemate got a Roku from work, so she just uses that for Netflix. I found a couple sites, but the streams are just labeled generic "London 2012 Olympics," so I have to sift through them to find what I want to watch...CharlieGiteau wrote:If you pay for any of the listed cable companies already, you just use your login info.

Re: **Official Olympics Thread**
Going to be hard to ever beat Beijing, especially since they put about a $100 million into the opening ceremony alone and have a pool of over a billion people from which to pull (force) volunteers to help.
Thought it was well done and loved the entry to the industrial age.

Not quite TV quality, but still definitely worth it. Just have to deal with the initial 30 seconds of loading the stream with all the advertisements and what not.
Re: **Official Olympics Thread**
boxing has been quite entertaining
Re: **Official Olympics Thread**
I watched that as well, SO close in the finals.acetamino wrote:watching team archery made me want to get drunk and play wii archery again! I love the olympics!

I watched some of the men's road race. Cyclists have robotic legs. Averaging over 30mph, insane.

Watching Women's 10 meter air rifle finals was both interesting and hilarious to watch.

Some streams on Justin.tv under the sports section, but who knows how long they'll be up for before they get shut down.

I've been watching it here and there when i get home. The women's soccer game against Columbia (Columbia plays dirty as hell btw). Also watched the Mens Team Archery, which yeah, i wanted to play wii archery too haha, and have been watching some of the swimming thats been going on. So far there are some close competitions, and I can not wait for the track and field.
Re: **Official Olympics Thread**
Same here. I was at the Trials this last year in Eugene, OR and I'm excited for the intermediate and long distance races. Ran against Galen Rupp too in high school, kid is ridiculous.Sp|dEr wrote:....I can not wait for the track and field.
