That's not a beer, that's an energy drink, to help you crush those worthless contestants into man-powder.

Incidentally, I also had been pronouncing your name as though it rhymed with boing. It sounds like something Rocksteady would yell while wailing on the Turtles. Why aren't you using an alias? I know in the American version everyone is like Turbo, Laser, Nitro (ok, obviously I haven't watched the show since the early 90s).

You should be Skull****er. That's a good name. Or a good intimidating name I used to use for gaming: The Circumcisor. Shit, you see that coming your way, you turn and run!

Good luck and congratulations!

I don't think he'll have a persona yet as I assume he's just a contestant. Maybe I misunderstood?

Oh. Well, in that case, be sure to punch the gladiators in the junk "on accident." That'll drop 'em like charges against the mayor's son.

ROFL, me too, nearly had a caffeine-infused keyboard on my desk. :laugh:

[everman]

And ATOT! will be your warcry

 

[sonambulo]

Fuck yeah! Way to go Koing!

Best of luck out there. I'll be rooting for you even though I won't be able to see it until it's torrented. Congratulations bro.

CONGRATS!

I get 7days of event training before the first show starts filiming.

I spoke with the researcher for an hour for things about me etc. Quite cool.

I say, if Koing doesn't win we revoke his title for 3months ... don't let us down!!

I am confident. The events suit me and I should do well and of course I am out to win. The reacher asked me that but it isn't as if any of the other 15 contestants do not think they can win. Well I think I can win. I am in it to compete and to win.

I'm a contestand not a Gladiator . I'm too small to be a Gladiator! But my Gladiator name would be 'Dominator' or 'Monster' as I say that word a lot in the office and when training.

I'll mention ATOT somewhere in the interviews :thumbsup:

So excited and just can't wait to get on with the event training. I'll change my training slightly to make sure I have power for 30-60seconds for the events. I'll start hammering out that to suit the training but you can't do much in the time frame that I have. The first event training day is on the 6th April. Thats 2.5 weeks away. I just need to stay fresh and alert.

I am smart with the amount of training that I will do. Realistically you can't improve much in that time. Maybe a month before the show starts but there will be a lot of breaks in the filming to setup the events. I just need to make sure I am solid for 30-60seconds.

Congrats! I can't wait to see it. I haven't seen you on AIM for while.

 

[ViviTheMage]

siiiiick! make us all copies

 

[SZLiao214]

Thats awesome! I was wondering if you finally got in.

 

[EvilYoda]

That's great, congratulations! I've been keeping up with your thread...can't wait for you to upload a video of your episode

 

[minendo]

Congrats Koing. Make sure you upload a video of your episodes.

 

[videogames101]

Nice dude! I'm gonna watch the show now =)

 

[Megatomic]

This totally kicks ass Koing! This is some serious motivation for all of us to excel physically and not just technically.

One of my co-workers made it pretty far into the tryouts for Gladiators in NY. He's still waiting for a call back. I heard the tryouts were pretty intense. Did you have to make a video about yourself and stuff?

 

[dbk]

please paint an ATOT tattoo somewhere on your body haahha

 

[Fenixgoon]

awesome, when does it air and how can us people in the states watch it?

GRATS!

 

[Judgement]

Grats!

 

[IEC]

Koing is a BEAST!

 

[GenHoth]

Hah, spreading the love to OT I see. Still amazing!

In the US, "asian" refers to anyone whose ancestry is originally from Asia. "Oriental" is definitely out of fashion, and most people will think you're a racist if you use it. You guys over there sure are weird.

Congratulations on making the cut! I'm sure everyone on here without access to British TV will torrent it and cheer you on. :thumbsup:

I was thinking about it, but didn't in the end. Just filled in an application form with the pics that they wanted (head shot and one full length pic in your training gear).

I see. Hmmm...in England it is fine. I'm not oppose to either but it just makes it clearer to where I'm from.

Cheers for all the support lads! I'll be sure to give you guys a shout out!

I can't wait for the training and I'll adjust my own training slightly so I have the edge in 30-60second events. I'm going to hammer the rower and treadmill at lunchtimes. In the evenings I'll throw in some sprint sessions on the track and adjust the weights. I do have a comp on the 5th April but I should be okay for that.
