  4. Has anyone here played Ghost Control Inc? I bought it when it first came out buy only got around to playing it last night. I'm having a blast playing it, at the moment, but I fear it's going to become incredibly repetitive and I'm going to give up on it... Has anyone had a prolonged game on this? I just bought the second HQ in my game so I'm hoping that'll inject some extra things to do into my game (there's only so many times I can go back to the same park and fight the same ghosts lol).
  5. Err, I'm such an idiot. I didn't even think to include the term 'smartphone' in my searches. Thanks a lot
  6. So, this may seem like a dumb question, but what is the thing called that you connect to a control pad and slot your mobile device into for 'hand held' gaming? I've started streaming my PC to my mobile and I'd like to purchase one, but I have no idea what they're called, so I can't search! Haha thanks guys.
  7. I'm pretty sure he entered bodybuilding straight out of college, but don't quote me on that. I remember him and Jericho talking about it on Live with Jericho, but I may be remembering that wrong.
  8. Just to piggy back this, when the game was announced, it was clearly stated that it was a direct port from PS4/Xbox One. Why, then, would one assume that it'll have extra features that those don't have? I'm not defending the decision to remove said features, but surely you can't be mad that you bought a game that you knew didn't have those features already?
  9. This was my first thought, too
  10. The last one was WWE/F RAW I think, which was sometime around 2001-2002(?). In the article on WWE.com it says it'll be available within weeks. I wanted this game but only recently got a PS4 (as a free gift with a phone contract ) as I do 99% of my gaming on my PC. I'm excited to finally get this, now.
  11. Damn, I genuinely did not know he already voiced a character. This both surprises and upsets me at the same time. There'd be an influx of EastEnders fans suddenly being big GTA fans EDIT: Also, WWE 2K15 is coming to PC (Windows only, from what I can tell): http://www.wwe.com/inside/2k/wwe-2k15/wwe-2k15-windows-pc-announcement-this-spring-27315901
  12. A GTA set in an East London inspired setting, with its rich history of criminal gangs, could be a very enjoyable game. So long as they don't get Danny Dyer to do any voice overs.
  13. If you read the blog, it seems that Justin Roberts isn't condemning them either. He says it's good they do it, they do it a lot, but the way it happened "on screen" isn't how it happened in reality. He's basically upset that as the person doing a lot of the arrangements, etc. and then he was left out of a lot of it, and it turned into propaganda. He's basically just upset from a personal stand point that he put a lot of time and effort into how it all come together, and then he isn't mentioned at all. No ones condemning the WWE.
  14. So I've decided to move my game library from XBMC to Steam for use in Big Picture mode. Because I like to know at a glance what emulator a game plays on, I have started making my own Steam grid banners. This is just my normal Steam games and SNES games so far... http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/RayW1986/screenshot.jpg
  15. Hey, they're his feelings, not mine. I personally don't care if WWE do stuff for charity or not.
  16. Yeah, he's unhappy about the spin the company put on it, and basically turned it into / use it for propaganda.
  17. In my head now, though, Rollins is the current WWE World Nudie Champion. I don't see why Brock is so angry haha
  18. I'm not bashing him for it as I care very little for Chyna, merely pointing out something that gave me a little chuckle when I thought about EDIT: When I said I found it funny, I didn't mean in an ironic way. I mean I literally found it funny, ie: it made me laugh.
  19. Funny thought I just had: Trips saying that he doesn't want the company associated with Chyna because of what children may find in a Google search, then they put their World Title on Seth Rollins, where a google search will find me a picture of little Rollins thanks to his ex-fiancé. I find that quite funny.
  20. JBL was bashing him/WCW and Cole and King were praising him. I really don't see the issue. It's a basic heel/face combination, surely?
  21. JBL done a very good job of making it clear how much he hates WCW. That's my opinion. I'm not going to get into an argument about my opinion, though.
  22. No one's forcing Sting to be there. If he didn't want to do it, he wouldn't. The commentary was annoying, but it wasn't that bad. WCW were the enemy to the WWF and Sting was one of their biggest stars. JBL lived through it as a soldier for the WWF. It makes sense. And I say this as a huge WCW and Sting mark. My only gripe with the commentary was the continual use of saying how evil WCW were that they were trying to make everyone in WWF unemployed. Then WWF made everyone in WCW unemployed. In turn, are they not evil, too, then?
  23. Random pet-peeve: non-wrestlers that get hit with a finisher and then roll out of the ring instantly. I know the casual viewer won't really care, but it bugs me that if Brock hit the F5 on another in-ring worker, they would at least lay and sell it for a moment before slowly getting out of the ring. Michael Cole, within 2-3 seconds of getting hit, shot out of the ring as quick as he could. To me, in a kayfabe sense, that doesn't make sense. A non-wrestler shouldn't be able to move out of the ring faster than a wrestler after being hit with a finisher, they should have to be helped out of the ring by staff / paramedics.
  24. I know you weren't criticising mate By the way, this bot on Reddit collects upload data and lists all new content http://www.reddit.com/user/WWE_Network_Bot
  25. From what I understand, not the entire back catalogue is currently digitised, and what is still needs to be thoroughly 'seeked' through to remove any music or items they no longer have a licence for, as Chris said. Also, it's a strategic thing at the moment. They won't add anything exciting now until after 'Mania, so as to try and keep those extra users subscribed. They've slowly got the Raw's ahead of the Nitro's now, so I'd imagine we can expect a bundle of WCW content some time soon.
