Anybody know a good place where I can find a high quality streaming feed in English?

www.nbcolympics.com has pretty much every single event from the start of the games, along with nearly every event live too. Im not sure if it will work for someone outside the US though.

Phelps broke his 200m fly world record with his goggles filled. Beast.

Yes because swimming in a straight line blinded after doing it for 8 hours a day for the last 12 years of your life is hard. Its almost second nature to him, think of it as walking to us. I give him credit but hate how the media gave him more credit then leziak who actually won his 2nd medal for him.

I assume you didn't watch his interview--he wanted to get under 51 but couldn't because they kept filling. Doing turns with a filled goggle isnt exactly easy.

Rappy we must be long lost brothers. We go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly. In this case, you would just have your pillows positioned correctly to hide her one flaw!

She almost looks like Eva Mendez.

Except you like Chelsea ;)

Did you watch it? He even said he won the race by counting strokes and looking at the T on the bottom of the pool for turns. If that isn't second nature then I don't know what is.

Don't hate because we can afford trophies :ninja:

Well yeah, the pool helped but the goggles weren't helping at all.

"My goggles kept filling up with water during the race," he told the media. "I wanted a world record, I wanted 1:51 or better, but in the circumstances not too bad I guess."

"I couldn't see anything for the last 100m, my goggles pretty much filled up with water. It just kept getting worse and worse through the race and I was having trouble seeing the walls to be honest"

      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 LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.

      New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
