Can I play a Fire Emblem Game on that floor?

 

[thecouncil]

Shit is rude as fuck and one of a million reasons the rest of the world views you guys as arrogant dickheads.

Buuut fuck Russia and Putin.

[djplaeskool]

Suddenly, Civilization V.

YES

aaaand here come the ladies.

 

[Downhome]

This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen...

 

[Mesousa]

This is pretty fucking awesome.

 

[D6AMIA6N]

Awesome

 

[Gorillaz]

god this projection really is something

 

[Konka]

Beautiful.

 

[JABEE]

Russia knows its choreography

 

[Oersted]

Have you reached revolution yet?

 

[FLEABttn]

Oh my god I want this mix. This music is awesome.

 

[Volimar]

Russia knows its choreography

No one fucks with Russian ballet.

 

[vagabondarts]

This is probably my favorite opening ceremonies ever.

 

[Trojita]

Have you reached revolution yet?

Na we at some part where a hot piece of Russian ass is dancing with some old guys.

 

[Madness]

Nice to see people at least saying it's good. I felt like an idiot because I watched the Vancouver one live in person in 2010 and thought overall the Russian one was better. The ballet part which I think you're now at, and what comes after I really liked.

 

[Arkos]

I don't see how people enjoy these ceremonies so much. Oh well

 

[Codeblue]

god this projection really is something

Yeah, everything from the ship up until the dancers came out was something really special.

Pretty interesting read.

 

[vagabondarts]

I don't see how people enjoy these ceremonies so much. Oh well

They're art and expression and fun.

 

[Trojita]

Whoa whoa whoa, I thought Russia had a no gay propaganda law? I just saw two dudes dancing together and one guy putting his palm on another guy's chest.

 

[Branduil]

Okay the floor was pretty cool.

 

[LiK]

Whoa whoa whoa, I thought Russia had a no gay propaganda law? I just saw two dudes dancing together and one guy putting his palm on another guy's chest.

Gonna be arrested after it ends

 

[Oersted]

Na we at some part where a hot piece of Russian ass is dancing with some old guys.

Oh. I promise you guys, revolution is baller. And the part after the speeches. But skip the speeches. They are boring ass shit as always.

 

[everyday math]

Think of the children! :O

 

[Soyongdori]

Say what you want about human rights, Putin, and Sochi boycott, but this is possibly the best opening I've ever seen in the Olympics.

 

[Trojita]

Is she bangin all these dudes or what?

 

[MMBosstones86]

Whoa whoa whoa, I thought Russia had a no gay propaganda law? I just saw two dudes dancing together and one guy putting his palm on another guy's chest.

Keep the children away, don't want them to catch the gay.

Oh. I promise you guys, revolution is baller. And the part after the speeches. But skip the speeches. They are boring ass shit as always.

I'm sure NBC will for us.

 

[JABEE]

How the hell does she move her leg like that?

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Have you reached revolution yet?

you are such a tease, not yet.

 

[D6AMIA6N]

Beijing was better

 

[Trojita]

That guy's hair and mustache lol

 

[thecouncil]

Love the long shots on the dancing like I got the bad seats at a ballet.

 

[pxleyes]

No Matt, it wasn’t a great period of hardship. It was a period of great hardship. Order matters.

 

[vagabondarts]

My thoughts as well. I'm gonna have to get this in high quality without the NBC chatter

 

[D6AMIA6N]

No Matt, it wasn’t a great period of hardship. It was a period of great hardship. Order matters.

Lol

 

[Madness]

Beijing was better

Cost much much more (non corruption standpoint) and was a Summer games. This ceremony was better than Vancouver and Torino.

Please tell me what NBC commentators say about the 'revolution' parts.

 

[MThanded]

Fever dream

 

[thecouncil]

Beijing was better

Yeah you're probably not getting better than that for a while.

 

[everyday math]

I have no idea what's going on.

OH GOD MY EYES!!

 

[djplaeskool]

trippin' balls

This is one of the best winter openings, but I don't think I'll see anything top Beijing for a while.

 

[Volimar]

Lost at this part. The invention of dandruff shampoo?

 

[LiK]

Its ballet. No need to make sense

 

[Trojita]

No Matt, it wasn’t a great period of hardship. It was a period of great hardship. Order matters.

Unlike

The Douchebag Matt Lauer and Matt Lauer the Douchebag.

Edit: Holy shit at Lauer's cut to commercials.

 

[JABEE]

Screw NBC

 

[Oersted]

While we are at it, you can miss out the torch part. Nothing newsworthy, just fireworks which keeps on dragging forever. Its lame.

 

[MMBosstones86]

these commercial breaks can seriously get fucked.

 

[MThanded]

I can't believe they cut to commercial with that commentary.

 

[everyday math]

So you do a fucking commercial now?

 

[Mesousa]

I better not miss a mother fucking SECOND of the tribute to the revolution!!!!

 

[Soyongdori]

So you do a fucking commercial now?

Gotta fuel that capitalism now and then...
