Quote of the day, NBC: "People are probably confused as to why there's Karate being performed around school children."

Wow... Karate... Someone give them a lecture on how Taichi is not part of Karate.... Seriously..

The opening was great, not spectacular, and a bit over hyped. The standout was the lighting of the "cauldron". Now that was amazing!

Not to mention Karate is Japanese!!!

Wow, It's totally fantasitic, especially the lighting effects, yet not to mention the display technology.

And my fav. is the 29 steps of big foot made of sparkle , which comes directly to the stadium from far away in the darkness.

Does anyone else has the same feeling of watching a big movie?

/I can't believe NBC kept cutting to retarded ads for TV shows and Budweiser during the march of the nations every five minutes!

<3 BBC Not a single advert during the whole Olympics (or ever :p)

Watching the basketball at the moment, the US women are naturally owning the Czechs, watched the volleyball last night. One sport I don't get is the silly horse trick stuff "Equestrian" I don't get how they call that a sport at all.

I wish I had BBC HD :(

Anyone else found the bbc coverage to be a bit naff?

The commentary has been in and out, even though you can hear the technical people speak. While watching the sailing, a tech bloke said "say ben jive" then the commy says ben jive. It wasn't any better in gymnastics either.

I'm also finding the chinese are having problems, cameras onboard boats or bikes freeze often, the main feed stops every now and then for a second. While watching the sailing, the picture was really screwed, it was like the picture was still scanning and getting muddled up.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW to support 18 more games in June, including Gothic 1 Remake by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The start of a new month means Nvidia is also preparing a whole month of additions to its GeForce NOW supported games list. The cloud gaming platform received its first update of June today, revealing games like Jurassic World Evolution 3 and Gothic 1 Remake for the service, while at the same time revealing what's incoming in the next few weeks too. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Jurassic World Evolution 3 (New release on Xbox, available on Game Pass) Fatekeeper (New release on Steam, available June 2) House Flipper Remastered Collection (New release on Steam, available June 4) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 4) GOALS (New release on Steam, available June 4) Gothic 1 Remake (New release on Steam, available June 5) NTE: Neverness to Everness (Launcher) The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition (Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass) Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Epic Games Store) XCOM: Enemy Unknown (Steam) Nvidia also plans to add support for these games during the rest of June, though more titles will probably land as weeks go by too: STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions (New release on Steam, June 11) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, June 11) Denshattack! (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, June 17) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (New release on Steam, June 18) Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, June 22) Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains (New release on Steam and Ubisoft, June 30) Farever (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
