  1. Dicie Carter is just about the worst wrestling TV character of all time.

    Yeah, there might be worse than her but the fact that she's right at the forefront of their programming makes her waaay worse. She has no redeeming values and she's in everything.

  2. I'm wondering if cena hurt his knee in the chamber, might explain why they suddenly ruled him out of wrestlemania completely.

    If that is the case, I wonder if shield Wyatt's 2 could be away to take place.

    Cena vs Wyatt has been talked about for months, pretty much confirmed when they cost him the Rumble match.

    Last night was pretty pish. Hogan was more over than I thought he'd be but fucking up his first promo was hilarious.

    I don't like how they didn't mention to us where Ambrose was. The Shield and Wyatt interactions were great though. As was Wyatt's stuff with Cena. I'm surprised this is a work, Cena sold it well.

    I saw the Taker spoiler but it was still cool. Though I don't like how Taker just turns up and looks at the Mania sign, doing it is stupid and he's the worst for it.

  3. Are the comics still going by the way? My son was asking about them and are they suitable for a 14 year old?

    I probably wouldn't. They're black and white so it's not overly graphic but it's still very violent and whatnot. Much more so than the tv show.

  4. Has anybody ever played any Pokémon ROM hacks? It's quite interesting to experience a completely new story/region, but if some people are put off playing on the PC, it's maybe not for them. Keeps things quite refreshing and some of them are actually really well done with more adult elements included, such as harder puzzles, humour and references that the creator has put in.

    I know someone that played BlazeBlack (I think) and he enjoyed it. I think he tried to Nuzlocke it though, needless to say he got fucked.

  5. Tell me about it! The Fairy/Dark/Psychic/Ghost typings f**k with my head. A rest/sleeptalk/will-o-wisp Spiritomb is unbeatable in UU.

    I'm alright offensively, I know what types are weak to but I'm always forgetting about the resistances. And then when you've got dual types and they mix together, that's when it goes tits up.

    I found out like a week or two ago that electric resists flying, apparently that's been a thing since Gen I. I literally can't remember ever encountering that before.

    It was bad enough before fairy, the dark/psychic/bug/fighting/ghost chain has ruined me since Gen II.

    And then old Pokémon becoming (part) fairy now.

    I fucking hate change.

  6. I've not played Gold/Silver/Crystal in well, well over 10 years, so I'm very anxious to pick up HeartGold or SoulSilver. I'm just shocked that it's £60 in most places. Is it because of that PokeWalker thing? How much was the game at release.

    I think that'll be because of the Pokéwalker, maybe it's like a rarity now. If you can find the game on its own then you should be able to get it for much, much cheaper than that considering you've got White/Black then White2/Black2 in between HG/SS and the new games.

    Does anyone here play pokemon showdown? It is basically a free-to-play online battling simulator where you can either create your own team or use random teams. I'm pretty hooked on it just now. http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/

    I play it quite a lot with a group of friends, I like to think I'm pretty good at it as well. :angel

    Though I need to have a type chart open while I play and I've been known to make some horrendous choices which result in "not effective" coming up rather than it being super effective. :ph34r:

  7. Does the FSM article cover Xbox/Playstation consoles? Computers slower than a Catholic funeral.

    I think you can, if you've got a US PSN account (don't know if that's the same thing for Xbox) and set your DNS to 206.214.214.28 and you should be able to access the App. Then you'll need to create a US WWE account.

  8. To sum it up, I was hoping to get a Gallade from my Ralts, then discovered that that's a gen VI Pokemon. Oops.

    Ohh and another thing, I was having a look and what the heck are those Mega evolutions, I mean the Charizards look epic!!

    I seem to recall trying to do the same thing in my Ruby. I started playing it after SoulSilver and Platinum. I got to the point where you bump into Groudon and you have to catch or kill him to proceed past to the next gym or Pokémon League. I think that's where I got to in Ruby cause I never managed to catch a Ralts to catch Groudon.

    You attach a the Pokémon specific Mega-Stone as your held item and in-game, you click a wee box before your move and it'll mega-evolve in battle. Some Pokémon change typing and/or get a stat boost.

    Some of them are fucking immense, Mega Mawile and Mega Kangaskhan get amazing abilities when they change. Mawile's attack like doubles and Kangaskhan get an ability where she'll do every move twice with the second one being at like 0.5 power.

    Charizard has two, one for X and one for Y. IIRC, the X one changes him to sort of his shiny sprite and he gets tough claws, he also becomes dragon type. The Y one gives him drought.

    edit: you can transfer things across using Pokébank. (it's a program on your 3DS that came out recently. You need the Poké Transporter as well. It's a bit of a pain, you need to have the Pokémon in box 1 of your Gen V game, use the transporter to put them into Bank and then put your Gen VI game in and use Bank to put them from it into your game)

  9. The only way I could think is if they allow Paypal to pay it, or you've got a friend across the pond.

    I don't think I'd want to try it just yet anyway, see how the servers handle the traffic and whatnot first.

  10. Always been quite surprised that the earlier Pokémon games haven't been made available on the Nintendo e-shop, imagine it would generate a fair bit of money. A good amount of earlier Zelda, Mario and Kirby games are there, so it's surprising not to have perhaps the generation I and II games available. Has there been any talk about them being put up at a later date?

    I haven't seen anything, I guess they didn't want to talk about from the remakes (though obviously at this point, the Gen I remakes are very old and the Gen II remakes are getting there).

    I'd be fucking lost going back to Gen I, it'd be exactly the same as when they add in a new type and everything changes. Trying to remember how types work against each other from so long ago would be a nightmare!

  11. Cheers for the replies.

    That's kinda shite that you can't play Gameboy and Advance games on the 3DS. Can you not even buy them digitally and download them? What about the DS, can you download them on that? I know there's an Advance cartridge slot on the older DS'.

    I don't think you can legally buy them or download them (yet). You can emulate though I'm not sure about that, never tried to.

    There's a GBA slot on the DS and the DS lite but not the DSi.

  12. Yer all c***s.

    I came to this thread to talk about the tv show and what HAS happened in the episodes, not about what might happen in the show because you've read the books.

  13. To my absolute shame I've not played a Pokemon game since Sapphire, which is my all time favorite and most played game.

    Watching the Twitch plays Pokemon(if you haven't heard, its 80,000 people playing Red at the same time http://www.twitch.tv/twitchplayspokemon) has got me proper nostalgic. So I'm seriously considering picking up where I left off and playing the rest of the Pokemon games.

    Am I best buying a DS or a 3DS to do this? Can you still play DS, Advance and GB games on the 3DS? I assume you can at least download them? If I got a 3DS and Pokemon Diamond, could I trade via wifi with someone on a DS?

    You can still trade on your 3DS when playing games of the same Generation but Diamond is two Gens and four sets of games ago so you might not find as many trades in those games.

    How many games have came out since Pokemon Gold/Silver?

    That was Generation 2, Generation 6 came out last year.

    Gen III (GBA) - Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald along with FireRed and Leaf Green (Generation 1 remakes)

    Gen IV (DS) - Diamond, Pearl and Platinum along with HeartGold and Soul Silver (Generation 2 remakes)

    Gen V (DS) - Black and White. Black 2 and White 2 came out shortly after those instead of making a third game (like yellow, emerald and platinum)

    Gen VI (2/3DS) - X and Y. Z is rumoured to be coming out soon, probably the end of the year.

    I bought a 2DS last week and have blasted through X, beat the Elite Four last night so I'm just firing through my dex to complete that.

  14. Not at all sold by this new cast. None seem at all suited toward their roles, Jamie Bell is the only one with any noteworthy acting skill.

    As Jambo says, Kate Mara's got a bit behind her now.

    Michael B Jordan has been in a fair bit over the last four years or so, a few tv shows, Chronicle etc. I heard very good things about Fruitvale Station as well.

    Miles Teller is probably the only one which really makes me question, I've seen him in two or three things and I've not seen anything to suggest that he could play Reed Richards.

  15. I'm more confused by the casting for Johnny and Sue Storm. Michael B Jordan and Kate Mara don't really look like they are related...

    I was kind of wondering that when I heard Jordan was gonna be cast as him. I figured they'd change the whole family (I assume that we'll see Franklin if it's young FF) or have Johnny be adopted or something.

  16. I always avoid spoilers (very easy to do despite what many morons say) and when I say that episode I was shouting 'What the f**k?!" very loudly. When they stabbed Rob's wife (and baby) I was shocked but when it went on I was fucking stunned. Great episode mind. I had the same reaction to Ned Stark getting his head chopped off.

    I've managed to avoid them, for the most part. Having only started the show about three months ago, I think I did a good job.

    I knew that Ned was gonna be offed at some point before I started as I couldn't remember seeing him mentioned in anything I had encountered. I thought Drogo was gonna be in the show for a lot longer though.

    I also knew the Red Wedding was a thing but completely forgot as I was watching the wedding happen and I didn't expect the Starks to get fucked again. I can't help but feel really upset at it as well, I kind of like them (well, Arya, Robb and Jon Snow - Catelyn and Sansa are complete c***s so I'm glad the former perished as well).

  17. http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/guardians-of-the-galaxy/29373/guardians-of-the-galaxy-trailer-analysis

    The Nova core thing is probably another that people arent fimilar with, be interesting to see how much overlap there will be with this over the existing Marvel films (end sequence in Thor 2 aside)

    I assume you mean the Nova Corps? I was never a fan of them or the character, Nova.

    I see the Fantastic Four castings have been announced/confirmed.

    Kate Mara as Sue, Michael B Jordan as Johnny, Miles Teller as Reed and Jamie Bell as Ben.

    Not too bad, they're obviously going very young, probably Ultimates universe as well.

  18. I'd never even heard of Guardians Of The Galaxy until this film was announced. That trailer looks brilliant. Can't wait for this film.

    I think most people won't have heard of them. I only knew them by name until about 4 months ago but now I'm very much into them.

    I wasn't convinced by Chris Pratt's casting at first but I think I'm in now. I would've liked to have heard Rocket Raccoon speak because I'm really unsure how that'll go but I can wait for the film.

    I'd probably say this is the most excited I've been for any of the films in this universe outside of The Avengers.
