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.

Glorious WFH

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.

Yeah, WFH has been amazing for watching sport.

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

We'll (hopefully) have the Paralympics soon as well

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

At least they didn't ask Jeremy Hunt for ideas.

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.
