Vancouver = Awesome by ipab on 02-13-2010 at 06:49 AM

Finally the world sees what I've always seen just out from watching the Opening Ceremonies. It was awesome

Anyone watch it on TV?

Stupid hydraulics :zippy:

.

I watched it all with a friend and it was pretty good. The rest of the Olympics I'll probably not watch (with occasional peeks at some events).

Canada wins, not only for the epic ceremony, but for the longest relay run, and the general fact that Canada wins at life.

Did anybody else laugh when Steve Nash was looking all confused, waiting for the indoor flame to rise?

:banana:

Nash's look was priceless. The whales were awesome though. Simply stunning.

Note to anyone who hasn't watched the opening ceremonies. Do so, it's worth it.

Will probably leech a hd rip.

i started to watch it, and after about 1 minute, i got VERY bored...

RE: Vancouver = Awesome by Volv on 02-13-2010 at 11:48 AM

Im watching the replay at the moment (only about 15 mins in) and I have to agree with NanaFreak thus far, they need less of random guy snowboarding and more fireworks/explosions

RE: Vancouver = Awesome by Menthix on 02-13-2010 at 12:44 PM

Just started watching. But to expect as much fireworks as Beijing wouldn't be fair, that's China's thing.

RE: Vancouver = Awesome by Chris4 on 02-13-2010 at 01:26 PM

Just watched the repeat. Pretty good. Pity about the 4th ice-block thing to light the torch.

Yeah it sucks ass.. i watched ice skating and skeleton all night and wake up at like 3pm

I tought how the snowboarder made his entrance was pretty kickass idea...
Pretty sweet opening alltough the quality of the ice sucks, and the only sport holland could get a gold medal (and we did YAY) is ice skating and thats pretty screwed up due to the ice quality :/

TBH, if it wasn't on Google, I wouldn't know it was on.

RE: Vancouver = Awesome by james121 on 02-24-2010 at 09:58 AM

It was awesome, I was on tv when it was broadcast. Do you know a poll report say that Vancouver is the best place to live in this world. It is in this list since last 3 years.

Duuuude! Kramer was about to set a new olympic record and his coach told him to take the wrong lane ;|
I could cry :'(
