Yeah I'm pretty sick of hearing about Phelps too. I don't think I'll get sick of watching May-Treanor/Walsh play beach volleyball though ;)

And TBH, I think their record of 104 straight wins (beating their own previous WR of 80-something straight wins) is far more impressive than Phelps winning a few swim races. That's not to say that his gold medal count isn't impressive, but it's not 104 straight wins either.

What? No way! Hell, I'm a track fan and, if Phelps wins 8 golds, even Edwin Moses going undefeated in the hurdles for nearly 10 years isn't quite as impressive as that. Phelps also hasn't lost a race in one of his events (I forgot which one) since he began swimming professionally. And in two of his other races he hasn't lost since the last Olympics. Now that is domination.

Phelps is dominating the entire world and doing it in crazy fashion. Not only is he winning, he's winning by a massive margin in different types of events, and he's been doing it for a while now. He's dominating a very good field every time out there.

I just can't believe how well the Canadian athletes are doing.....wow we already have ZERO medals lol

Canada doesn't want medals.

Did you know that some athletes who qualify for the Olympics for Canada in track don't get to go because Canada doesn't want to pay for them to go? These are people who meet the Olympic standard multiple times, win at the Canadian nationals, and Canada still doesn't send them. That's just wrong.

Man I am Glued to the TV !!! LOL :D

I missed the first hour of Today show... what I miss anything good?

I tell you man, that Shawn Johnson is a cute girl. But, like Miley Cyrus way too young for me.

She is gonna grow up a pretty lady, for sure though!

I am happy she won second place not third. She definitely was great on that floor! Totally deserved it better than the Chinese girl!

Lovely kid. :)

Did you know Canada is offering payment for winning medals? Up to 20,000 CAD at that. If that isn't wanting medals then I don't know what is.

Nastia and Shawn won woman's all-around gymnastics...I was sick and tired of seeing 12 year old's winning medals illegally.

On another note, Track and Field started today. This is the most exciting part of the Olympics for me.

As far as I know Canada never been so good in Summer games... in 2004 we just got 12medals total and I think it's good for us has long we are participating :D Go Canada ! Canada will be much better for the Winter games in Vancouver :D

We are only 1 medal behind where were were at this time in 2004. We only had 1 medal after 7 days in Athens.

They still have yet to prove it. At least it's not as bad as how our own track athletes cheating in the past four olympics...

Does anyone here know Where to watch the Opening Ceremony in it's entirety again?

www.nbcolympics.com or torrent :shiftyninja: in HD.

Yes, I'm well aware of that fact. Plain and simple, they're behind on that. Most countries have been doing that for quite a long time. Canada just now adding such stipulations doesn't mean they want medals -- it means they want to look like they care, and given that no one's won a medal yet for them, I don't think the Canadian Olympic group does care.

When you have athletes that could do well at the Olympics and potentially get a medal -- such as those track & field athletes who aren't being sent because Canada doesn't want to pay for them to go -- that says something.

I'm not dogging Canada. Wonderful place. I'm dogging their Olympic committee.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
