Okay, let’s slow down a little. I still just want to make sure people are interested and available to participate. I gave a deadline for that vote tomorrow. Things like this take good planning. We need to move a little more slowly take make sure we have a good final product. I was going to open up discussion about the program and organizing the games this weekend.

I’ll vet these today. I love the enthusiasm. I think we’re going to aim for old Olympic dates. Plus, we should let people practice a little probably.

This interesting. The YOG really is getting the short end of the stick...

I can’t believe I’m saying this about a bid race, but Doha is clearly the better candidate. I agree with Michael Pavit on this one. I kinda wish India, The Philippines, and Uzbekistan had gone ahead with their planned bids. I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that some were “asked” (with a large sum of money) to leave the race...

I don’t know what you’re into, but based what I’ve studied, I’d suggest Fahrenheit 451 or Things Fall Apart (that’s a great one if you really want to learn about West African (more specifically Nigerian) culture). Really any of those books I listed off in my post a few days ago are worth a read. I would suggest searching “recommended titles for the US AP Literature Test.” You’d come across all types of titles there.

I’ll pose the question when I start asking people what they want the program to look like (probably some time this weekend). I think it’s an interesting idea personally.

I’m seriously to the point where I’m 90% sure that I just want to write “The Cookie Monster” on my ballot this November. In my opinion, that is the standard of candidates in the US.

Just thought I’d share an two interesting clips that seem to make the rounds every once in a while online. These clips are from “The Newsroom”, a old (I think 2010ish) HBO satire/comedy, where premise is a news anchor that spends a good portion of his career being agreeable suddenly outs himself as a Republican with very opinionated thoughts on the US. The show feels incredibly relevant today. I agree with everything the actor says in the clips. I’d love to hear some of thoughts because this is an interesting premise.

Right now, I’m more concerned about hearing people’s basic feelings about the idea. After that, we can talk more about the program and get people’s thoughts. I think it’s important not to overdue it. Quite a few users seem interested, but we need to make sure the messaging about the idea is clear, and that there’s a good base.

Apashe’s new album is some damn good art. I’m not really a fan of EDM, but this is art.

My favorite country be making them money moves

I’m going to leave this up for discussion until Friday. At that point I’ll go through the answer, and we can begin planning. Do you like the idea of a Totallympics Summer Games? A) YES B) NO Would you participate in the Totallympics Summer Games if they were held? A) YES B) NO What would you like to see included on the program for a Totallympics Summer Games? - Answer on own

The eSailing game (which is low key perfect for what we’re trying to put together) is like that. You can download for free and play. There’s a great tutorial program and everything.

Would this be an exposition or contest?

Yep. I one these games for Xbox. Their great ? I’m down for whatever people want.

Well I never watched it from a streaming platform. I watched it on CW week to week. I felt like too much changed between seasons. Maybe I’m just not remembering right or something.

I’d find it quite helpful if users would respond to this.

Supposedly there’s some form of online play. eSailing is still a fantastic option as well.

They’re definitely waiting until 2020. They haven’t even announced a release date for anything outside of Japan yet. The Mobile phone game (also produced by Sega) comes out on May 7th. That’s an option too.

Happy Earth Day everyone!

Yeah, Virtual Regatta is perfect for a multitude of reasons. If you’re down to organize it, I can add it to the proposed program. I think we’re aiming for the time around the Olympic Games. Since spectating is available, I will spectate and record the races for broadcast.

I quite like the YouTube videos I’ve seen of people playing it. I think you can with up to 4 or 8 people online. However, I don’t think the game will ever be commercially available outside of Japan, not available for anything other than PS4.

Okay, since there seems to be quite a lot of interest in this; please respond to the following questions. Do you like the idea of a Totallympics Summer Games? A) YES B) NO Would you participate in the Totallympics Summer Games if they were held? A) YES B) NO What would you like to see included on the program for a Totallympics Summer Games? - Answer on own

Yes, that’d be the idea if we were to include that on the program.
