And... I just saw Norway's win on the K95 hill. They got the bronze in that event too.

All in all, today's been a good day for watching the games on TV. A lot of fun events to watch, and I didn't have to turn off figure skating. :-D

Is anyone watching them in HD? I bet watching the olympics in HD, in widescreen, as got to be cool.

Watching the downhill now in the US...

NBC must be thanking their lucky stars that the Northeast got the Blizzard of '06. I almost forgot it was winter til the snow fell.

I've been watching all weekend.

Sure, against your common zombie Destroy Undead might be good enough. But any lich that don't have decent wards against common holy-spells deserves to be dust ;)

:loll: Silly Lich. There is no "Light ward", and if there were such a thing, it certainly wouldn't be learnable by liches.
