Sometime last week, The Olympic Chairman said his opinions in Teenagers nowadays.

So, the title describes it all!

There is already a video games olympic, usually organised in seoul. it's once every year, though.

[skadistic]

No and neither should ball room dancing.

Luckily...

I guess one could find them more entertaining than watching some sports. I wonder if they discover an video games dope drug that will enhance the players abilities. (other than cheats and glitches of the game and the system where the game is played.)

The Olympics are not pure, but no need to make them sillier. Really, they should kick out the athletes where the Olympic Gold Medal is not the pinnacle athletic achievement. This would include tennis and pro basketball and baseball players.

Yes just what we need to further degrade the physical fitness of the West.

 

[LightFang]

No, that's absolutely ridiculous.

We could include a Wii Fit tournament .

We could include a Wii Fit tournament .

Let's not forget Dance Dance Revolution!

We could also include a Samurai Warriors Katana Contest Wii!

This game is perfect if you want to swing your remote anywhere on the screen! After fighting some 100,000 troops, well, are you tired?

 

[dutchfire]

No

.

whow, 6789 posts, I'm really lining up the cool numbers this week.

maybe I should pay more attention to my exams?

 

[BirraImperial]

No. No. Nein. Niet. ten char.

 

[Chazumi]

With so many variables in video games, not to mention bugs and glitches I don't think it would be entirely fair.

Take civ for example, game starts, 18 players to a game or whatever, one guy spawns next to flood plains 3 golds, 3 cows, and bronze or something, and the other guy is on an 18 tile tundra island with 1 crab. If they were great players, could he overcome the crappy start? Maybe, but still it would be a huge disadvantage.

Maybe if it was just like pong or something where there werent as many variables, but then that would be boring...

Oh please, seriously?

 

[Zhuge_Liang]

Dance Dance revolution! You can't cheat there... After about 3 dances I bet you're panting like a dog...

 

[Kennigit]

No. There already is the World Cyber Games specifically for this. I would put up the link but google it yourself.

 

[bhsup]

Dear God in heaven, no. I am not going to suggest the Olympics are really pure, but please, video games?!

My first thought was "Good lord no" but actually, I hate the Olympics, so this means less than nothing to me.
