Yeah but they're going to have to pick a better cover story, nobody will believe they were mugged in Tokyo.

Pawn Stars is my favorite anime

It's an allegory for the Lochte scandal

Holy shit. This sentence:

"A stronger presence at E3 (or at least a dozen Nintendo directs) would do more for Nintendo's global presence then this bizarre stunt at Rio."

Is easily one of the most incorrect business related analyses I've ever read in my life.

Every so often I'm reminded why I don't read GAF threads anymore

 

[Pikma]

poor calamari, this has been a rough week for him

 

[DopeyFish]

Every so often I'm reminded why I don't read GAF threads anymore

and yet here you are

 

[Quick]

poor calamari, this has been a rough week for him

The revelation that his kid was born a King's fan was too much.

 

[zroid]

and yet here you are

I meant that I don't read regular threads. I still post in some OTs and such, mostly community threads.

 

[TUSR]

i see the next olympics will be good

 

[Calamari41]

MY CAR

Edit: holy shit, turn on this car chase if you can. The guy is going crazy, he might actually kill someone.

 

[Cake Boss]

The revelation that his kid was born a King's fan was too much.

Or worse, foreign.

 

[Calamari41]

Or worse, foreign.

Hey he can be foreign, we love our immigrants, don't we folks? They just need to come in leeeegally. Legally. Believe it.

But if he really does end up as a Kings fan somehow, I will send him to military school. Not even joking. He'll be toast.

You're seriously fucked up, No one wants to watch you murder someone live, you sick cephalopod

 

[Calamari41]

Too late, they got me him

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

It takes a village to make sure Calamari's son doesn't become a Kings fan.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Calamari is going to give that extra tough upbringing like Creeper did with his son.

 

[Line_HTX]

lmao what is this creeper

That is Karen, the British troll. I'm almost absolutely sure those subs are fake.

This is a hell of a takedown of the IOC and the Rio olympics

well worth a read https://sports.vice.com/en_us/artic...fiable-human-disaster-and-so-are-the-olympics

This is a hell of a takedown of the IOC and the Rio olympics

About 70,000 people have been displaced—20,000 families—by the Olympics and its parallel but dubious "legacy" projects. Thousands of poor people—mostly black and mostly men—have been killed during "pacification" efforts to make the city appear peaceful, but the exact number is hard to determine.

This kind of thing is stunning.

They should just make the summer games permanently in Athens. Use the same infrastructure, the same venues, and have the same people running it. Costs would go down by orders of magnitude as time went on, and it would be a permanent economic boon to Greece. Upgrade facilities slowly over time, as they need to be upgraded, with the eventual profits from the games.

 

[MultiJhonny]

And yet nothing will change sadly. People will pass off the protesters of the Olympics and not care since they are "getting in the way of mah Olympics"

 

[Line_HTX]

At least beisbool is back.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Counterpoint: Fuck the Olympics.

 

[Cake Boss]

The worst thing about it is at the end of the day the poor people will suffer the most because of the choices of some few rich assholes who already got theirs and dont give a fuck about the after fall.

Yea I have advocated for, if not a singular venue, then a rotation of 3-4.

One of the more striking premises in this article is how, perhaps, that is exactly what the IOC doesn't want. They thrive off the corruption involved in bringing the games to a new city.

Even if they just built one Olympic facility on every continent and cycled through them costs would go down.

Yeah exactly. I used to be all for a rotation of Tokyo, LA, London, Moscow (or whatever), but someone suggested that Athens thing and it made even more sense. With the way the current leadership is, obviously there's no applying logic to this whole thing. When there are multiple billion dollar infrastructure and construction projects on the line, you're going to get a line of people willing to throw a few million dollars at the IOC members to ensure that they're the ones who get it.

It really hit me when I was watching the American trials before the games. The venues they were using were at least as good as any make-work Olympic venue I've seen in my lifetime. What's the difference between the University of Kansas aquatic center and the one they hastily built for Rio? Not much. Just use what we have! The Beijing Olympics did make a point of showcasing the stunning architecture, true, but once you got inside, you could have told people you were at UCLA and they would have believed it.
