Ooh sparkling archive actually sounds really fancy, I’ll start using that

Yes!! I came here to recommend Xenoblade Chronicles X. It’s the most MMO feeling game I’ve ever played that wasn’t an MMO.

Agreed, and OP saying “a huge fluke” is demonstrably not true.

The game everyone remembers from the last Olympics with NHL players (2014) was also USA vs. Canada. 0-0 until overtime, when Crosby scored a goal after 7 minutes and 40 seconds (if I remember correctly, I looked it up the other day). Incredible moment.

So, the last time they met in a similarly competitive game they played nearly 68 minutes of hockey without either team scoring a goal.

It’s not a fluke, it’s how their games often work.

Canada in hockey is a lot like U.S. basketball (in the summer Olympics).

If they don’t win gold, everyone is going to be very surprised.
