I don't think someone who probably isn't really experienced in e-sports would be able to give a good argument.

This is George Carlin we're talking about. If he was still alive, he would have torn it to shreds. :p

I don't object to E-sports, I just don't think it should be included in the traditional Olympics. They should have a separate Olympics(E-Olympics has to be a thing) as they are entirely different competitions. It's why they're called E-sports. Watching TV sport is a thing too. Want that in the Olympics?

I wonder what he would have said about E-Sports.

I do agree that E-Sports should be separate as IMO, it's entirely different from what goes in to the actual Olympics.

That being said, the US made history in men's Luge(poor Loch though) with a first silver medal. The Netherlands dominate Speed Skating as expected. Loved most of the routines in team figure skating(Italians were especially charming, but that's not technical difficulty).

Caught most of the finals this morning. Great to see a Japanese woman win silver in Speed Skating.

Curling finals should be interesting. I'm sure Bakker would prefer Canada, but I think Switzerland will win.

No thread for the Olympics? There is now.

Just saw some mixed team curling. Trying to find livestreaming of the Alpine training runs.

Full disclosure: I AM a pile of shit.

So so hope I don't drive anyone away, but honesty is the greatest form of respect and I can honestly say I laughed hard when Kellhus kicked Proyas back off the side of the ledge the 2nd time. He COMPLETELY fucks him over, pulls him back up, explains to him that he's amazing and accomplished the impossible and kicks him back over because of ( very suspect logic here ) "something must be eaten" - it was so completely fucked up, I had to re-read it to ensure I understood it correctly. Have to say, I absolutely loved it, so fucking evil/nasty. It's this kinda shit makes me love these books so much.

This is exactly why I was glad the Ordeal failed in the end.
