Today's Google doodle takes you to a pixel art/anime sport game with a load of mini games including archery, table tennis, swimming, marathon, rugby, climbing, etc.

It even has little RPG like side quests, it's pretty big for a tie in doodle.

I've been playing this while on a teams call earlier. It's really good!

Working from home has taken on a really special dimension this summer, having been able to watch just about every minute of the Euros and Olympic Games with minimal interruption. :slol:

It's just constant though, it's almost too much sport! :lol:

Watching the coverage beginning on the BBC and seeing the Tokyo skyline in the background of the studio makes me want to go back quite badly. :lol:

Apparently it's been a bit cobbled together because they keep having to sack the creative directors and whatnot. :slol:

I think it's the standard Olympic thing now. Everyone's given a script to convey to audiences from different countries and cultures what the interpretive dance is meant to represent.

Haven't they always commentated over opening ceremonies? I definitely remember it during 2012 though maybe it was less as there was less cultural stuff that needed explaining to a British audience.

This is crap. But you can hardly blame them and I do feel sorry for those involved.

I wanted to see some weird Japanese madness. Instead we've had 20 minutes of interpretative dance and sad singing. #NotMyJapan

They should have had a Kaiju destroying a giant coronavirus.
