What was with all the natives on show at the opening ceremony? What about the rest of the canadians?

i 100 percent agree, i said that in an earlier post.

and was anyone else heartbroken because heil didn't take the gold in the moguls? :( the american deserved it though, that final run was UNREAL

I wasn't heartbroken, but then again I'm an American. :) Hannah Kearney's run was awesome. But I knew when Heil did her run that she was knocking the other American, Shannon Bahrke, out of first. Heil did a good job.

I'm anxiously waiting for the men's game next Sunday versus the US. Everyone I know will be glued to a TV, haha.

Hopefully Canada can produce a good men's hockey team (unlike our NHL teams... lol)

Russia is sure to win that one ;)

In hockey, Canada can hope for gold only from women :p

Heil did well but i hoped for gold.

Shannon Bhurke is annoying as hell.

The only thing that annoyed me and a lot of people I know was they announced everything in French FIRST. Should have been the other way around.

that i agree with, i was wondering the same thing when they were announcing stuff. maybe harper is trying to get some votes in quebec in our annual elections?

The US Coverage of these games is absolutely horrible already. The games started last night and with competition starting today. NBC only has coverage starting at 2:30pm. I just wish there was a dedicated channel where you could watch every event.... live.

It is pretty good here in India though some runs are cut of by ads.

BTW - Can someone pin this thread?

Alright. Mens moguls coming up soon, let's get a gold!

Well, it is the Olympics after all, and Team Canada is there for Canada as a whole, not Canada minus Quebec.

if canada doesn't win gold in mens hockey assasinations and riots will occur...

I've wondered about the same thing. I'm not sure us Canuks are going to be happy if we don't get Gold on Home Turf!

Has anyone found some cool free Olympic related things to do? I went downtown on Opening day and I went to Richmond today. I was going to go into the Heineken house - but there was a good 2 - 3 hour wait. I'm probably going to go to the Grandville Island stuff this week (Atlantic house and such). Other suggestions?

Yes! I think on the 20th, my 3 favourite up and coming BC indie bands are playing. Check out Said the Whale, Mother Mother, and Hey Ocean. It will be a show that you can't miss!

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