Main Topic

With Cyberpunk revealing their first DLC and Ghost of Tsushima getting an expansion, let’s talk about them.

DLC’s, Expansion Packs, Season Passes, as well as in-game/microtransactions, however you want to phrase it, these are additional content that we have to pay for, majority of the time. Yes there are exceptions but for the most part, everyone pays for it.

With that said, list UP TO 5 games you have spent money on whether it was a dlc, a season pass, or any in-game/microtransactions.

With every game that you list, also include how much money you have spent on that content. If you can’t remember, just round it up lol.

The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is upon us! Let’s have fun!

Welcome to the Video Game Olympics 2020!

On the list below, you will see sports that are included in the Olympics. That being said, which video game character will you choose to participate in that sport? You can choose ANY video game character you want. No holds bar!

Keep in mind we are still playing by Olympic rules...somewhat. Since this is VIDEO GAME OLYMPICS 2020, the skills/powers/items that your character has applies to whatever sport you put them in.

For example, Kratos doing Weightlifting. His strength still applies which then means you want to choose a character stronger or just as strong to keep us with Kratos’s strength. Of course we don’t know which characters we are all picking so choose wisely! Yes, we are competing. 😏😉

Also if you want, you can choose the same character for EVERY single sport. HAHAHAHA. It is up to you.

And with that, here’s the list!


Archery

Artistic Gymnastics

- Pommel Horse (Men/Women)

- Uneven Bars (Women)

- Rings (Men)

- Balance Beam (Women)

- Vault (Men/Women)

Athletics (Track)

- 100m (Men/Women)

- 110m Hurdles (Men)

- 100m Hurdles (Women)

- 4 x 400 Mixed Relay

Athletics (Field)

- High Jump (Men/Women)

- Pole Vault (Men/Women)

- Long Jump (Men/Women)

- Shot Put (Men/Women)

- Discus Throw (Men/Women)

- Hammer Throw (Men/Women)

- Javelin Throw (Men/Women)

Diving

Equestrian

Fencing

Rhythmic Gymnastics

Shooting

Sport Climbing

Swimming

Weightlifting

Wrestling


Now that you’ve seen the list, let the games begin!!!

*PS - For the sports that have parentheses, it doesn’t have to be a male and a female. You can choose any 2 characters that can participate in the men’s category and the women’s category.
