According to CVG they are entering it voluntarily with the hope they can get through it & come back as a new company. Will that mean they have a in store sale so I can buy games in shops instead of Adverts. €55 for Mass Effect 3 new compared to about €70 for Assassins Creeed Revelations, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection & Saints Row The Third no contest in terms of value for money.
We may have lost but some goal by Coates.

Lord TSC · 22-03-2012 04:49PM

Would there be interest in a WWE Fantasy competition on here? I've been bored silly in work the last day or two and was thinking of maybe trying to come up with some rules for one.

So, something like we each get to pick three-five wrestlers (one per roster rank, so one ME, one Upper-mid, One Mid, One Low-Card and one Diva). Get 3 points if the person wins a match, 1 point for each segment appearance, -1 point if they lose a match and so on. Base it on Raw, Smackdown, NXT and Superstars, with double points for PPVs. Maybe lock it in that you can change your fantasy team once every three months.

Would there be interest in that? If so, I can do up some rules and maybe start it up in such a way it begins the day after Mania, so we can run it from Mania to Mania?

TSC i think ur name was mentioned with the boards podcast, maybe get that up & running?

i take it you can't watch PPVs in work lol

Lord TSC · 22-03-2012 06:19PM

I think when it was said about the podcast two weeks back, someone said that the main PW Boards one was going to come back soon as well. If people are up for that, I'd love to try and get involved in one some evening, or even set it up as well. :cool: As I said before though, I don't want to step on anyones toes with that podcast, cause I know it's some people's baby on here...

Diabhal Beag · 22-03-2012 06:38PM

If our podcast was a baby than it would have been taken away from us due to neglect at this stage. I think more than likely if any of us had a problem you'd know by now so fire ahead.

Also here's a name suggest: Never mind the Ku-Klux

jaykhunter · 22-03-2012 08:45PM

Ya you're a regular here, don't let that hold you back; we're all amigos here. There's no official red tape! Anything u can add to the site would be great. I personally would love a "best of the rest" type podcast reviewing SmackDown & NXT since nobody reviews them (well at least!)

Or a once monthly pod before a wwe ppv would b awesome.

I think people are willing to go along with a pod; ya just gotta do the legwork settin it up! Having a different pw boardsie on each month and having a chat would be a great listen too.

If u (or any boardsies) need a first guest I'll throw my name in

Diabhal Beag · 22-03-2012 09:09PM

Ya gotta not give this more than it's due; like i'm sure you'll have an evening free at some point; see if the other's free, get it set up quick enough and record an hour. You don't have to devote a whole evening to it! There'll always be some kind of deadline/work to do, but you'll always have pockets of free time

D'oh! I watched the TNA ppv 2n. The twitter stuff is horrific. Need a good bit of time away.

Where's a good place in Dublin to get fresh birthday cakes done?

GTR63 · 23-03-2012 12:07AM

Damn you Jayk I really want a slice of cake now. Just finished Saints Row The Third, took about 12hrs the ending was quite abrupt with a few lose ends(more likely for DLC than a sequel,sigh). I got a fit of laughing when Hogan said "you take care of Killbane & i'll handle these jobbers" oh hulkster

Get the bus to the Cabra road and head into Clarkes bakery.

Best bakery in Dublin for my money.

Ah yeah, but that would involve actually watching Smackdown and NXT :pac:

Ok, going to bump the podcast topic then...

At least you got to go inside the store, I went there on Paddy's Day and they were closed!

I don't know I assumes as an upper mid carder WWE would have some sort of half arsed shirt out. They had a Sin Cara one so I thought I had a hope

It was an awful lot smaller than I thought it was going to be. Everything was very well spaced out as well so it was a small place with even less in it. I was kinda disappointed with the size of the place but its obviously doing an alright job

Yeah it looked to me like they have started transitioning into selling MMA gear, maybe that's where they are making their profits these days.

Oh, they are definitely making a profit on the mma stuff. I seen some Tapout shirts in there for €22 today. Heatons have the very same shirts for €10:eek:

Wouldn't say goosebumps but getting there. Going to watch at home with a table full of pizza, chocolate and crisps. Working at 9am so will need to be well napped before the show starts. First one I've watched in ten years so hoping for big big things!

More the opposite for me. After the Rumble I decided to stay up and watch it live, not Im not too pushed. HIAC is really the only match that has my interest. Everything else, meh.

GTR63 · 24-03-2012 05:00PM

Wigan, f*cking Wigan. What a total disgrace Liverpool are & the longer in the season we go the worse we are playing.

Diabhal Beag · 24-03-2012 05:15PM

Pissing myself laughing at a team making a Caldwell look decent in any way.
