Chit-Chat: On Tuesdays Oryx and Triforce think it's Wednesday

[Nick]

This little baby is one of a kind!! :)

I take offense to this DCC's title

I love Hank Green. Great excuse for me to post bad jokes. If you've got 4 minutes there are 54 jokes you can learn and tell all your friends.

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

I had to Google who Hank Green was.

I don't think he's attractive, but I also don't really see the resemblance between him and you, Alex.

I've never heard of Hank Green, until I saw the "YouTubers React" series from last year. And I will say, I don't see a resemblance either.

In all seriousness though, he does look kinda hot. The hair and teeth I dig. Oh, and the glasses :P

Speaking of YouTube, I've been watching TechQuickie and LinusTechTips, and have found out some interesting things about hyper threading and how memory latency cancels out the supposed efficiency of higher frequency RAM. Very useful stuff.

Some of those jokes actually made me laugh I kid you not.

 

[Honest]

GOODBYE ESPANA AHAHAHA. Played like crap, such a shame.

Like I said on the football thread, Spain are just like France back in 2002, when they won the world cup and didn't make it past the group stage. It's only hilarious because they are the current world champions.

True, but so many people were hopping on the Spain bandwagon ever since they won four years ago. It felt satisfying watching those people feel down

 

[Dreg]

I actually feel no sympathy whatsoever. If you're gonna make it on the big stage, and not really put on a show, expect to go out... current champions or not.

 

[Shining Raichu]

What are we even talking about? Did Spain do something?

 

[Oryx]

Someone got more pointgoals in sportsball.

 

[Shining Raichu]

Oh I see. That's so interesting tell me more

 

[☆Rei☆]

I'm still confused. I'm not a sports person.

 

[Sonata]

I'm so distant, I'm not into soccer at all.

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

I just don't see the point or value behind watching sports and being caught up in it. It's like partisan politics – a huge waste of time, for me at least.

 

[Dreg]

I think people do watch some sports is because if the game is great, at least they can go home happy. It's like a music concert or something like that, really... if it's bad, then you're just gonna leave.

I can understand that you don't like sports... that's completely fine. Everybody has their likes and dislikes at the end of the day and you can't make people like what you like.

Nah, it's not really like politics. It's no more a waste of time than watching a TV show or a movie. An even closer comparison could be made to watching people play video games, but that's not necessarily a common activity even if you include eSports and Let's Plays.

I don't really watch many sports and I don't get supporting a team that you just happened to be born near (the only team I support is the team I chose, Notre Dame), but watching sports in itself isn't so confusing. Watching a bunch of players with certain stats fight each other while a strategist watches and tries to outsmart each other can be fun.

 

[Tsutarja]

I'll typically watch football games, specifically NFL games, if those are on. Other than that, I'm not much into any sports, although I usually do watch the sports reports on the news just to see how the local teams are doing.

 

[Hikamaru]

...although I usually do watch the sports reports on the news just to see how the local teams are doing.

This is what I tend to do as well, I don't watch many sporting broadcasts so I usually just watch the reports on the scores and such. It's pretty given because Australians love their sport and I never get time to watch everything.

 

[Nick]

I think sports fun to play -- really fun. But watching other people play sports? No thank you. I think people get way too involved in sports games, and the people who genuinely get angry because their team loses? I can't help but laugh at that kind of reaction like what are you doing?

Though, I do still have my favorite teams. Like for the FIFA, I'm rooting for Germany. And in the NFL my team is New England Patriots. But I don't like actively watch these games.
