Recommended Posts

yeah and those shows have intelligence written all over them...

no one wonder you don't like hockey, not smart enough to keep up with it.

Hold on now, not smart enough to keep up with hockey?

Surely you jest.

That has to be the worst 'don't feed the troll' image, ever.

MSPaint FTW?

I am so sad I missed the game. Was with a ex working things out and was on a walk and heard screams and chants everywhere around me. I was not in toronto at the time so it seems everywhere at that moment everyone lept put of their seats and cheered. Heading back on a via rail train back to toronto now I bet the streets are still packed with people.

Im trying to recall the last time i ran out of my house yelling "**** ( insert country name here)" after the US won a gold medal. Thats just pretty sad to see a host country get caught doing that.

:no:

Some people seem to think this happened after Canada won the gold medal game.

Look at the date it was posted. This happened way before the game today.

it was a joke, i mean it's not like fox needed to put a glowing streak on the puck so american viewers could follow the action or anything ;)

i googled it...

:no:

Thats a pretty big bunch of douchebags..

you know that video was done before the game right? and you are actually taking the example of what a few people did to represent an entire country? really, this coming from an american who's country's entire image was tarnished by ONE man...

Way to handle it with class, Canada

Above link has NSFW language

In our defense, these people were most likely drunk and it was just after we LOST to Team USA on the 22nd. Take a look at the date the clip was posted. Not saying that makes it right, but perhaps a bit less distateful than if it were to have happened today.

im just saying... but if you're girl is making you miss the biggest hockey game in recent memory, she's not worth keeping...

Oh you're right. Haha, didn't even notice that.

And didn't a major news network in the US make fun of Canada one time?

Remember the massive scale of the riots after the Lakers won the first of their three-peat championships. I don't remember ever thinking those rioters were representative of the city. It's going take alot more than a group of drunk douchebags to ruin my mood.

Additionally, the 2010 Winter Games Closing Ceremony becomes the second most-watched broadcast ever, as 14.3 million viewers said goodbye to Vancouver 2010. A total of 24.5 million watched some part of the broadcast.

Like it wasn't enough Crosby against Miller tomorrow night, way to go Crosby :p.

Just a thought here about the Russian, they were one of the favorite in this tournament, I hope they got their lesson... (team play) I was really disappointed by this team. And god I hate this player Kovalchuk hopefully this guy will go in the KHL next Year asking for money if it's money you want then go away learn how to play as a team! selfish player.

Yeah, 26.5 million people. For a country that's usually quiet and not really patriotic - until the last few weeks anyway - this is outstanding. :p

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
