"The Dolphins' Hard Rock sponsorship makes sense. Two organizations that were a lot more relevant in the '80s." -- (link*) - budice Aug 17, 11:38 2
- FAIL: They were only up to 19 locations by the end of the 80s. 90 more in the 90s. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 11:42 1
  - Also, the Dolphins haven't been relevant since the early 70s -- nm - CQ Aug 17, 11:43
Anyone else notice there's been a lot of booing by the fans? It seems very unsportsmanlike, especially for the Olympics. - Krusty Aug 17, 11:35 14
- I hadn't noticed that at Gymnastics. Is it possible they were cheering someone else on another apparatus at the same time? - Diva Aug 17, 11:39 5
  - Nope. It was during the individual competition and the Brazilian was in contention for a medal and every time - Krusty Aug 17, 11:40 4
    - the booing may have happened (and that would be weird) but there is literally always something else going on at the gym during a meet. -- nm - Diva Aug 17, 11:43 3
      - I wish I could link the video but there's no doubt it was directed at the gymnast. - Krusty Aug 17, 11:47 2
        
        that's awful. -- nm - Diva Aug 17, 11:48 1

    - You're telling me that if Frank Sinatra came back from the dead and wanted to appear in Ocean's 8, you wouldn't let him? -- nm - David Aug 17, 11:38 1
      - Merely because he and Clooney have already played Danny Ocean and supposedly Bullock is his sister. -- (edited) - Diva Aug 17, 11:45

      - agreed -- nm - Epiphany Aug 17, 11:42

    - yeah. And Chris Hemsworth could play Kelly McGillis' role. yonh! -- nm - Diva Aug 17, 11:04 4
      - funny, I was thinking Hemsworth should play the prostitute in Female Biloxi Blues. Hemsworth should be the male foil in all these remakes. -- nm - Max Aug 17, 11:06 3

  - Yeah I think if you go into NMS with the sole mentality of 'beating' it, you are going to have a bad time. -- nm - Shaun Aug 17, 11:36 1
    - That being said, I sure hope I don't "outrun" the game and they continue to add content because otherwise it is probably a bit shallow and repetative -- nm - oblique Aug 17, 11:44
- tl;dr: When I tried to speedrush the game it sucked. When I started over and actually spent time exploring, I liked it a lot. -- nm - Shaun Aug 17, 10:50 2
  - exactly what his review says pretty much :) -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 10:51 1
