I know what you mean. I was supposed to get ahead in my homework and thesis, read some books, and beat Mass Effect, but the Olympics have me hooked from noon to midnight... Ontario will start going hardcore tomorrow night as men's hockey commences.

Like everyone is falling in the womens snowboarding today. Is this normal? :blink:

No, this is NOT normal. It was really bad in the beginning because of the fog, but the track itself seems like ridiculously solidly packed snow. I was watching the men's cross yesterday, and that was pretty good. Something must have happened to the track during all of that rain this morning.

Argh, I was commuting from my parents' to my place when she won that gold! Looking at the qualification runs, I doubted we would get anything, so I'm going to have to hunt down this clip...Assuming they don't play the hell out of it tonight, haha.

Stunning run... Watching the hockey game now, and either Norway is playing really well, or Canada really needs to get their act in gear and start learning how to work as a fluid unit. I fear having only one practice previous to this game might not have been enough.

the snow is garbage at best in vancouver. nothing but rain in the last three weeks and now it's sunny and warm out, it's not going to get any better.

I was out driving today with the windows down; I am not complaining! Still a bit too chilly, though.

Yeah was raining a bit harder last night. Beautiful day today thought. I didn't know they were lighting up fireworks though. I can't seem em from where I live and I didn't want to trek downtown for fireworks in the rain. With the climate this year, its almost as appropriate for Florida or Columbia to get the Winter Olympics.

I REALLY hope the closing ceremonies will bring a really nice fireworks display. The opening ones sucked.

      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

      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.
