Right, the Wii thread's off the front 8 pages and the search function's dead so:Just been to ASDA and picked up Smash Brothers Brawl and Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. First time I've ever grabbed TWO games on their launch and I've no idea why - I have a ton of shit to finish what with GTA IV, a load of PSN stuff I grabbed and I've still not finished Lost Winds off WiiWare :/If anyone picked up either of them, post your Friend Codes here and I'll reply with mine. Stupid friend codes

This the guy?

It is! He was staying at our place in Orlando and walked past us outside the hotel (sans-mask) to get his ride to the airport. I was drunk and it was 5AM so I was kicking myself when I couldn't remember what he looked like.

I don't really see a "UKFF at WM" thread and I got more enjoyment from the ROH shows so here are the thoughts of me and my girlfriend's Orlando wrestling experience (which I returned from a few hours ago):Edit: I've just gone back to check my spelling and everything but sorry for any mistakes - I'm really tired. Also, sorry if this doesn't read too well - some sections are just collections of thoughts from the shows.Left our hotel on International Drive on the Friday afternoon and moved accross to the Marriott Residence Inn. This hotel housed a shedload of ROH fans and all of the staff and wrestlers and was organised by ROH super fan (and all-round awesome guy) GregH. Shortly after we arrived, everyone gathered around the pool for a pre-show pizza party (all paid for by Greg) and we got to meet loads of really cool new fans along with catching up with some of the UK ROH fans I already knew. We had 2 surprise guests at the party for a while in Matt Sydal and Colt Cabana, the 2nd of which took great pleasure in informing me that me cigarettes will GIVE ME CANCER!!!After the party we all headed out to the Friday ROH show. 2 weeks on and my memory is starting to blur a little (due in part to the post-show parties) but I had a great time at this show. I hold it slightly below the 3 Liverpool shows I've been to but the 2nd half was great. General consensus was that Steen/Generico vs Yoshino/Doi stole the show and I tend to agree although a lot of people were leaning towards NRC vs Stevens/Shiozaki/CIMA. I loved that match but the finish was kind of like wha?? It just came out of nowhere and didn't match the heat that the rest of the match had. Lastly, I was surprised to see ROH go 3-1 over DG in the series but at least it kept the Briscoes vs D. Kid/Saito result surprising - I thought the finish was totally telegraphed as ROH were 2-1 up but I was wrong. Finally, what was the deal with putting Dragon Kid in there against the Briscoes??? The ultimate super underdog was a little lost against the companies 2 biggest faces :duh:After the show we had a party in the hotel with all of the fans, staff and wrestlers. Awesome food was provided and everyone has a chance to wind down and chat about the show. Following that, I went up to another fans hotel room and had a real good chat with ROH message-board heel (and that's a tag branded on him - not one he's asked for) JSWO. Great to meet the guy in person as people have a totally wrong impresion of him on the board and because of this, they draw him into arguments that make him look worse. Most people couldn't be more wrong as I gladly found out - he's a really cool, genuine guy and a huge fan of the ROH product. Met some other cool guys up in the room like Joe Condelo, Jimthy and Ringlord plus so many more names I can't remeber. I met so many people that weekend and the combination of real and message board names just made things even more confusing.Had a little swim in the Marriott's lovely pool on Saturday as my hangover prevented me getting up in time for the organised ROH fanfest. Was apparently a cool affair where people got to meet plenty of the stars and got to watch them play Jai-Lai (that wierd game where you chuck balls at a wall out of a big hook on your arm - think Jackass: The Movie). Apparently, Larry Sweeney sucks at it and was an absolute riot when the fans gave him abuse about it. He walked about the entire day giving out Larry Sweeney business cards with a number on. When you call it you get a pre-recorded message about his management services Saturday's ROH show was fucking AMAZING for me. Real contender for my favourite ever live show (and I only have competition because face Nigel McGuinness in the UK against the right-opponent is an unforgettable atmosphere). Considering that everyone was dreading it going in, Shiozaki/Delirious was great fun and Go looked like he was pissing himself laughing at the masked man's antics. The YRR vs Bushwacker Luke & Students was what it was - I didn't mind it and it served it's purpose. Those Sugarfoot fans are fucking annoying though!! NRC vs Jigsaw/Ruckus was great fun but felt a little on the short side - maybe I was just enjoying myself too much though. I think people really belived the Vulture Squad could take this one after their enjoyable win the night before and the teased dissension in the NRC (with Davey taking Sweeney's business card). Strong vs Stevens was one of the maddest displays of brutality I've seen live. They just chopped the shit out of each other, busting each others chests open and even a few chops to the face Steven's was laid out with a BRUTAL unprotected chairshot and then got his head shaved by the NRC. This was my only dissapointment of the night - the bell never rang as Stevens and Strong just knocked the referee down so I was hoping that a bald, bloody Stevens would storm out later in the night demanding his title shot and get the win in front a super buzzed crowd. Unfortunately, they're svaing the match for the next FIP show. The 1st half finished with a crazy relaxed-rules match between Briscoes & Jimmy/Tyler. This was WILD!!! They brawled about the ring for a minute then hit ringside until Mark Briscoe did a dive into the crowd, assisted by a trampoline he pulled out from under the ring! 3 seconds later he suplexed Tyler Black onto my girlfriends seat (without her in it mind) and a crazy fight ensued all over the building with seats flying everywhere. Apart from not being able to see a lot of it, the atmosphere was awesome. Holy Shit moment of the match came when Mark Briscoe splashed a homeless cripple through a table off a balcony. It was all cool mind, this guy was FIP's Milo Beasley and he'd been annoying fans outside the building all through the weekend. The match finished with an awesome recreation of the Marafuji Doomsday counter - Jimmy reversed the Doomsday device into a deep choke on one of the Briscoe's to everyone's shock and amzement. The feeling in the crowd outside the building after this match was that this was the best first half to a show anyone had seen. With the matches that were left on the card, nobody there was dissapointed at missing Hall of Fame.The 2nd half opened with Steen/Generico vs Hulk/SHINGO and this time we got a dance off BxB!!! Steenerico confirmed their places here as MVP's of the weekend and Mr Wrestling was just a riot throughout this match - including a dance to rival Mr Hulk's McGuinness vs Aries was a great, great match but probably a step below the Rising Above match (but only because of the drama that Nigel's cut gave that match for me). Like every Aries title match, the finish played on Aries's super-combo he used to beat Joe but in the end he was unsucessful and Nigel put him away (to half the crowd's delight - there were so many Eurpoean fans there). Finally, the DG 6-man delivered as always. I don't know how it'll rank against the others till I see it on DVD but it was a great match that built on familiar spots and added new ones. I remember seeing WWE fans being amazed at WM when HHH applied a crossface to Cena while he was doing the STFU and people around me were impressed at the innovation - all I could remember was 2 guys from the night before applying octopus holds to seperate people while having a chop battle with eachother at the same time In the end this was just a really great show and represented ROH at their A Game. Everyone worked their hardest and I'd highly reccomend a DVD purchase if you're the type that just buys certain show these days.After the show I went up to the room of ROH Board member DiggetyDog for an event that was christened At Our Beerfest! We tasted all sorts of wierd ales that people had brought from about the country - some nice, some foul, and some that can't be safe for human consumption. So many people came through the room at various points that night that I struggle to remeber 80% of the people I met (although the beer can't have helped that). Tyler Black made various trips in to steal our beer and dive straight back out Colt Cabana arrived for a short while and began to auction off his program from the Hall of Fame. I picked this up for $40 including getting it signed and getting a few pictures with him. All the American's thought I was a nut but I took spending money for a reason and compared to their shitty dollar, the

NMH sold itself to me the first time I picked up a lucha mask and it said "You've remembered an old pro wrestling move!"Then I went round DDT-ing the boss into oblivion. It's great fun!!

Just after a little roll-call here to work out who is who. If you post on the ROH boards, pleae make yourself known here (especially if you use a different username on the 2 boards).Me = chunk3rvdAlso, did any of you take part in tonight's drink with GregH and co? If so, thanks for the great time and hope to see you again soon And if anyone will be at the ROH shows in Orlando, let us know about that too. I'll be at both and I can't wait!!Thanks,Lee

man only 5 things worthy of discussion in ROH:1.Raven2.AJ Styles3. Christopher Daniels4. CM Punk5. Homiciderest of it is just a bunch of highspots

and NOEL FUCKING EDMOND'S TELLY ADDICTS with real video clips from KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU WITH ALAN SEXGOD PARTRIDGE - AH FUCKING HAH!!!

This really is the bee's knees - it knocks the Deal or No Deal game into a cocked hat in terms of general Noelage.

If I leaned in such a direction, I would certainly propose to you I'm now tempted to start making random posts in hope that I get similar replies

Been a busy gamer lately!!!Picked up SvR for the Wii when that came out. Total pump obviously but it's a blast in 3-player (but not 4 as you can only pick tag matches )Got Galaxy last week and couldn't say enough words about it. I'm not even going to try - it's just simply awesome!Finally, I also picked up GH3 for the Wii on Friday. If anyone on here picked it up and isn't a loony hard/expert player (yes, I'm still struggling through medium) then add my FC ad post yours in here. Mine is 068836535985I'm far too busy with all of that plus a tonne of new games on my DS card (Cooking Mama 2, Mario Party DS and NOEL FUCKING EDMOND'S TELLY ADDICTS with real video clips from KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU WITH ALAN SEXGOD PARTRIDGE - AH FUCKING HAH!!!)

For anyone who likes to see ROH succeed, check out this link. From what I can tell, a company interested in producing a TV show has produced a mini-documentary on ROH that can be seen at this link. There is also some kind of petition but I think you have to sign up. The video is awesome though:

Boring.

I'm expecting a good match, but when you've finally got Misawa over to the US why the hell would you put him in a match with somebody he could easily have a match with over in Japan?

What's the option?I mean, apart from the likes of McGuinness and Doug Williams, who are NOAH regulars anyway, who in ROH could have a good match with Misawa in ROH?

I'd expect Dragon to have a cracker with him.It doesn't need to be a 5 star classic, as long as somebody gets the rub from wrestling Misawa. KENTA doesn't need it, where as there are a few wrestlers on the roster that could benefit from it.

I've seen this deeply discussed over on the ROH forums. I'm not big on NOAH but apparently the thinking is that Dragon is just a Junior in NOAH. Mitsy wouldn't be willing to give him enough to create the kind of match you expect from Dragon in ROH. Apart from Nigel, nobody is and you can't have Nigel getting squashed 1 month into his reign. If the ROH fans want to see Misawa, performing as well as he can in this day and age, KENTA is probably the best option.

Just started playing Animal Crossing: Wild World. 2 friends and my girlfriend have all started playing at the same time too so it's an absolute blast visiting each others villages.Never since Shenmue have I been so content with accomplishing so little in a game.So, my question is, that dimly lit DS screen is getting on my nerves so I'm grabbing a DS lite from ebay.com. Does anyone have any idea where I could get the relevant plug that would charge a US DS in a UK plug socket?The guy I'm trying to buy off said that "I could stroll into any Dixon's and ask for a US DS charger and they would know what I mean". Now, I'm not fucking dumb and know he's just after a sale but if I can pick up a DS lite for around

That is pretty bad. If that's the way it's reported everywhere, the quotes from WWE look really out of context

I was considering getting this. If it's anything like Soccer Slam it should be fun. I've been playing Pro evo 6 on the 360 online for hours on end using my mate's xbox live account. Despite 90% of the online gaming community for pro evo being absolute scum of the highest order, it's still extremely addictive.Also revisiting GTA: San Andreas. I think The Wire has filled my head with ideas of starting a Barksdale-esque ghetto empire. I did well at first, then fell into my usual rut of robbing passers by and drug dealers in order to fuel my gambling habit.

Spooky - you are my gaming brother!!! I picked up Mario Strikers today but haven't played it yet as I started San Andreas again yesterday!!! Finally finished it to 100% a few months ago but recently I've spent time in my head debating which I preferred - GTA:SA or Twilight Princess and all that reminiscing lead to me dragging it out again yesterday. I just love the way the game captures that time perfectly. If GTA IV is anywhere near as good I may just be shelling out for a 360/PS3.

First time in this thread as I've only just noticed it, but I'm a gamer of 18 years who still owns my original NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii, Game Boy (original, color & advance), DS (old big one), Saturn, Dreamcast, Playstation (1 & 2) and an Xbox. Oh, I chucked an Atari 2600 that didn't work but still have my Lynx

 

Ever since I picked up my PS2 (ASDA -

6 if you count the day shows by IPW:UK on 28/04 and 29/04

I imagine part of the reason is in the sig of the guy you quoted!!!I've always found it a bit shitty and sort of a conflict of interests for Alex Shane to be promoting 6 shows in 1 building 8 weeks apart. This must have affected ticket sales as I've seen many poeple saying they had to choose between the two.
