Opening Ceremonies start very shortly (at least for you folks in the UK). Apparently there are livestock involved?  ???

Huh. Here, they're showing a "30 Best Moments" program. This channel has Olympic coverage all day, surely they'd show the opening ceremonies!

BBC has shown the livestock already. Geese, Shirehorses, cows and sheep so far...

In fact, the BBC coverage has been awesome thus far.

Whaaaat. Stupid BBC, getting to be the "local" channel :P
Here, it's pretty much a choice between NBC and HDNBC.

this means that a donation of 30 dollars to a developer that did not deliver would equal 4.769*10^-14 hitlers stolen from you
that's like half a femtohitler

Russia is simply taking an anti-Fascist stance against European Nazi products, they should be applauded. ¡No parmesan!

They're just going into another soccer/football game. Really wish this channel would show something more interesting <_<;

I love how the Olympics countdown is basically telling us how no matter how much crap happens to the UK, we stay calm and carry on.

5 MINUTES TILL OPENING!

I think we ought to hold our very own Bay-12 Olympics Let's Play. How it can go is that anyone attending the forum LP will get their own copy of the C64 game Summer Games 1 and 2 (since they can be linked when playing 2), and we can setup events over time. Everyone will have their time to practice the events (using practice mode only), and then when scoring time comes, everyone plays the event in normal mode, and only have one attempt at it (as per normal mode procedures go). Record/submit your score for the event (no recording necessary, just post your score as it's shown) when it's time for the event to be played, and by the end of the set time for the events, we determine who gets what medal. Overall winner is who has the most medal value (1 for each bronze, 3 for each silver, 5 for each gold).

Here's what I'm talking about.
