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.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
