    They delay the film 9 months for 3D conversion. 3D conversion does not take that long. 6 months maybe, but not 9. I'd bet money that they pushed it a bit further to try get some extra publicity off wrestlemania.

    And to dodge The Avengers, Spiderman and Batman.

    The Avengers would have died down by the end of June, and they would have beat Spiderman to the punch by a week.

    This will tell you how big a gamer I am. Last two games I bought were FIFA12 and Rugby Challenge.

    I traded it in for Fifa. It will be better next year hopefully if they get the full international rights. Was lovely to play as Connacht though.

    Whats it like compared to the world cup rugby game?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Better gameplay but you won't get most of the international teams unless you download them via dodgy means. Even then you won't get the kits. It has Australia, NZ and SA licensed, Rabo, Top14, Aviva but it would annoy you being Ireland.

    Is stephen ferris black in that like he is in the RWC game.

    Won a competition to be a match reporter for the Ireland/Bosnia match at the aviva stadium on Saturday.I get two VIP passes and am allowed to walk out on the pitch before the match,go into the dressing rooms and interview someone,sit in the press box during the match and then go to the post match press conference afterwards.

    I've never won anything in my life,can't believe it!!

    Quite a nice win when you have to wait that long. Where will the interview be broadcast and do you get to ask the questions you want.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,116 ✭✭✭starviewadams


    Think they just stick the interview up on the Aviva stadium channel on youtube,not sure if I'll get to ask my own questions,hopefully I will though.I only entered the comp as a laugh on facebook yesterday,you had to write a preview of the Ireland/Bosnia match in 120 words,I wrote a funny,piss take one,didn't reckon I'd win like.

    Going to be mad,really want to get a picture with Dunphy and the lads up in the press box!

    Ask Paul McShane about that Jan Koller equalizer and watch the Vietnam-esque flashbacks.

    Bring a Ciano316 sign with you!

    Bring a Ciano316 sign with Jan Koller's face on it.

    So some of you know I work in the household charge, easily the most soul destroying job ever. And today is my last day. Well at lunch I got asked to come into an interview and got offered a job half way through it on the spot to start tomorrow.

    I'm your new tour guide for visitors to the mother ****in' National Leprechaun Museum :D *Cue Hornswaggle music!*

    Eurovision night!

    3 Euro on Jedward to win at 14/1
    5€ on Ireland to score higher than England at Evens (easy money).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    A decent performance by Jedward will help me get over the misery of Sheffield losing the Playoff Final today.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63


    Don't know about anybody else but Marty Whelan's commentary during the voting results every year is my tv guilty pleasure of the year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Jedward's song is waaaaay worse than last year and their novelty has worn off in Europe's eyes.

    Jedward's song is waaaaay worse than last year and their novelty has worn off in Europe's eyes.

    I'd say they have a strong chance of doing better this year; the song isn't as strong but they have a better position on the line up, they've spent the last year building their profile in Europe and, if you watched the semi on Tuesday, you'd have noticed they got more time than any other finalist.

    They came 8th last year with 119 points. I have a feeling they'll top that this year...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    Jedward to come fourth. Russia to win, That song is too catchy not to win.
    If i had any money i would back it. :(

    I was going to tease ye all for watching Eurovision.

    Then remembered this is a Wrestling forum:pac:

    So I may as well join in the eurowatching. That greek one looks like the greek one from Wrestlemania.

    True and I definitely would x2


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,025 ✭✭✭smallerthanyou


    Was watching the England Norway game and it was awful awful stuff so I switched to Eurovision and it's been spectacular!

    Also bought an x-box last week. Haven't had my own console since Playstation 2 so excited on catching up on 7 years of games. Screw you microsoft even if you aren't selling any more I'm set up for the next 7 years. Have no games yet except Lego Batman cos doing an exam next week but once that's over I'm robbing my brothers LA Noire, Skyrim, and WWE Legends. I may not leave the house for months!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Think Jedward will rank outside the Top 10. They were kinda just in the mix instead of being the standouts like last year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,331 ✭✭✭✭Rjd2


    I backed the grannies at 9/2 and cyprus at 22/1...come on:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63


    England vs Norway there is a cure for insomnia if ever I saw one. Here we go come on Marty don't let me down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    I love how marty doesnt care what he says. How he predicts the top votes by what country has me in stitches. Must be seriously frustrating for him.
