    I enjoyed the Eurovision this year. Ireland's ranking was my only disappointment. I thought there was a far higher standard than most years.

    The Norway song is a song I'd consider buying if I saw it in the shops. The girl is a stunner too. The Denmark song was a good song as well, I thought.

    Felt sorry for the Irish guy getting the wooden spoon. Far worse songs than that, e.g. the UK one; I'm amazed she scored points.

    Was looking at the games that are out there and nothing really interests me. Saints Row the Third was the only thing that I might get.

    LA Noire and RDR are two of my favourites so I'm looking forward to playing them again. GTA TLAD is my next favourite but the story is connected between the three so may as well do them all.

    Probably helps that I havent played the Playstation since January or so. Pokemon ROM's is all I've done.

    I haven`t a clue how to set up ROMs or use the VisualBoyAdvance. There hasn`t been much the last while to recommend I did enjoy Tomb Raider a lot(very uncharted-ish) and finished the walking dead(The Telltale one not the other wretched Activision cash in) which was awesome. I`d nearly recommend Saints 2 over Saints: the third. The third is really OTT which is good in a way but not in others. The ending felt a bit like "that is enough for now enjoy our upcoming DLC". I hear good things about Sleeping Dogs.

    The ROM's are shockingly easy. Load up VBA, then open from the toolbar menu at the top. Thats it. Only thing is you have to save in the same way, the in game saves dont work.

    I only said the third one because it was newer. I'll keep the second in mind if I'm getting anything. See what instock. Heavy Rain looks ok too.

    If your going down the heavy rain route I have to recommend The Walking Dead great characters, story and a genuine heartbreaking ending. You`d get it much cheaper on PSN than I did buying it on disc (it cost me)
    €40! :eek:
    like a 90`s relic.

    I havent watched the Walking Dead yet so never really considered the game as such. Is the series needed?

    Gamestop have a few things that look good. Splinter Cell Tilogy and Devil May Cry Collection. As I was browsing I seen Just Cause 2 and remembered it being recomended to me before.

    Made myself a little list and will see if I can get anything next time I'm near a gaming shop. :D

    I`ve barely watched the Walking Dead but it doesn`t correspond with the tv series storyline at all. Its just you (Lee) on a car journey then bang zombie invasion you meet up then with characters on your journey(that is just the bare bones of the story but it is a very good story). Just make sure its the telltale games one and not Survival Instincts .
    I`d give the Mass Effect Trilogy a go too 60 hrs easy in the 3 games and if you enjoy it at least 4-5 playthroughs with the different options etc (the ending is an absolute stinker but the journey is great). You can get that for about €50 in a boxset.
    Give Adverts a look too you`d be surprised what you could save on prices Gamestop are very slow on price drops.

    Just got one of those new €5 notes. Got a shock...


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 24,164 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    I got one of those the other day, showed my sister. "Oh, is that one of those new ones you can't rip?" and she proceeded to tear the note.

    Haha, I ripped mine when I put it in my pocket. Is that not meant to happen?

    A truly dreadful performance by them. Wish they`d of punched themselves in the faces.
    The last day of the premiership has been flatter than irish eurovision parties last nite.

    Well I heard that they are supposed to be harder to tear, though I dunno if that's actually true, or more hearsay.

    Season 1 of Arrow ended tonight on Sky.

    Finding it hard to name another show I've enjoyed as much this season....

    This result has haunted me all day as well as a text to me saying "Mayo 4:16 says we just whipped your ass".
    Jose's gone from Real the only thing he did the last 12 months is damage their and his own name.

    Well at the very least, we should get a name be it Infinity, Fusion or whatever.

    Apparently, the new Fifa will be unveiled with it, and I'm hoping maybe more of that Destiny game from Bungie. Also, EA are apparently unveiling their UFC game today as well.
