    On WWE's site. Why would we ever pay at some illegal site? :P

     

    Where can I catch that press con?

     

    Where is that $4 offer? BTW, there are quite a few illegal streaming sites, which stream PPVs in HD for around $4. And WWE PPVs in HD cost above $45(possible more for WM) in US IIRC.

    It's just $4 or something, I would've bought the damn thing. It redirects to the shitty sify site and javascript doesn't work on the uswebproxy thing. Anyone have any other way? 250 odd isn;t bad at all.

    Is it for $4 at WWE's site or some general illegal streaming site. If it is at WWE's site, then I may also watch. Wrestlemania is the only WWE event now that I follow.

    BTW, just watched the Wrestlemania press conference. Was boring as hell. Only good part was CM Punk completely owning the attendants.

  6. The Last of Us

    Naughty Dog’s The Last Of Us is the feature story in the latest issue of the UK PlayStation magazine, Play. Inside the publication that has four words on its cover that’s sure to ignite console wars, a few new tidbits on Naughty Dog’s latest PS3 exclusive are shared.

     

    In the studios efforts to differentiate its new IP from its Uncharted franchise the developers of the TLOU are adding a gameplay mechanic not found in many games today-persistent health.

     

    If you’re unfortunate enough to take the needed amount of damage that will require medical attention in The Last Of Us you’ll have to find time to use a medical kit for healing, assuming one happens to be at your disposal.

     

    Also unlike in Uncharted taking on a group of enemies won’t be as easy as picking up a submachine gun and plowing through the opposition. In a game where every bullet counts The Last of Us will require careful thought and planning, or you could simply chose to avoid a confrontation all together.

     

    Naughty Dog calls this system the “Balance of Power”, something inspired by the gun battle between Anton Chigurh and Llewelyn Moss in the American crime thriller No Country For Old Men.

     

    “No movement, no dialogue, ambient sounds dominating the battle, it’s as far removed from Uncharted as you can get”, the magazine explains.

     

    Sadly Play couldn’t get there hands on any new screenshots of the game, leaving us to continue to wait for our next peek at The Last of Us.

    They also unpainted sting, right? He looked lame. What is angle doing currently?

    Sting is currently the authority figure kind of guy, and wrestles occasionally with a Joker-type psycho gimmick which he first used last year to convert Hogan to face. He is slated to face Bobby Roode on the next PPV. Angle isn't too regular now as he is training for this year's Olympics. He recently put over James Storm 2 or 3 times, and is now starting a new feud with Jeff Hardy.

    TNA is okay TBQH. Nothing special about it. Its like a cheap version of Attitude era. I rather watch youtube videos of attitude era than TNA. And since 2-3 years, TNA has become sh*t from whatever I read. Too many swerves, matches ending in DQ and what not. People call it LOLTNA instead of TNA.

    Don't base your opinion on what you read on those wrestling boards. The only period in which TNA was shitty imo was when Hogan arrived. But they have rebounded from that and in fact TNA has been better in the past few months than it's early days.

    TNA has been better than WWE for the past two years, WWE was so painful to watch these past couple o' years, I personally feel but these 3 months with Jericho, M-Kane, HHH-Taker, Rock, it's been quite entertaining in a lonnnnnng time.

     

    I've been watching TNA since its start, and have almost completely stopped watching WWE sometime 2-3 years ago. Since then the only thing I watched in the WWE with some anticipation was the CM Punk story last year and the Wrestlemanias.

    Actually, I watched its first few episodes and didn't like it mainly because:

    (1)The Indian wrestlers are way green and embarrassing to watch in front of someone. None have good promo skills. There is a team called Pathani Patthe, whose favourite quote is:

    "Hum hain Pathani Patthe. Maarte hain ekatthe" :roflroll:

    Almost all Indian wrestlers act/sound way too Bollywood-type to actually interest any Hindi knowing wrestling fans.

    (2) Commentary, and interviews are too bad.

    (3)They treat Indian fans as goofs. There is a heel stable of Sonjay Dutt, Scott Steiner, and Brutus Magnus, and Sonjay often speaks with them in Hindi just so the average Indian can understand.

     

    One of the main reasons it is over on wrestling boards is that, foreigners don't know Hindi, and think that the commentary, promos are actually good. And there are some IWC darlings here also.

    Well I thought it was a pretty good move and so did many others. And if he would have jumped from a ladder on top of the cage to a person on a table below the cage, we could have said :helpsmilie: to Jeff Hardy! Those moves are not at all easy to perform and the height gained from climbing up on a ladder + keeping the balance of the ladder when it's on the cage ... it isn't easy at all. I still believe not many superstars today can perform such a move.

     

    @Phoenix Wright : I used to disllike TNA around a year back but I randomly watched a show 3-4 months back and it was good. Hence I started following it. TNA has been getting better by the day and it will still take time to become the number 1 company but it seems to be on the right track. As for well Nash, Hall, etc ... well they are nowhere at the helm of the TNA and Hogan and Bischoff are doing a good job at being the co-managers. AJ Styles, Abyss and Pope are the ones who were associated with the main-event for the past 2-3 months and none of them have ever been in the WWE.

     

    @ Nemo : Well AJ Styles beat Kurt Angle in a PPV to win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, so I don't think they are making the TNA superstars job to the old WWE guys.

     

    Well, The Pope worked in the WWE as Elijah Burke. Not that he was a big star there, but he did work there. And have you seen AJ Styles job his Heavyweight title to RVD? He didn't even cover him properly. This really made AJ look bad. I am as big a TNA fan as one can get. but even I find it hard to watch their shows as religiously as I did before. Firing Bubba 'The sh*t' Sponge was a step in the right direction. Now they seriously need to fire The Band & Orlando Jordan, make their stories consistent(e.g., the reason of Sting's heel turn, Samoa joe's abduction, etc.), and push the right stars in the right direction. AJ Styles should not be a clown of Ric Flair, and Ric Flair doesn't need to bleed every week, that HOF ring storyline should be abandoned, etc.

    Hi all. I'm Irfan. I'm from Patna(BIHAR), but I'm currently studying in ISI, Bangalore. I have a PS2, a XBOX, and have recently bought a XBOX 360(but haven't even seen it. Will get it when I go home in the summer vacations). I used to be a big PS2 gamer back home, but have not gamed for months due to my studies. Will start gaming again once I go home, and bring my consoles here in ISI. I currently own the following PS2 games:

    1)Gran Turismo 4

    2)GTA: San Andreas

    3)Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection(MGS 1, 2 and 3)

    4)Deus Ex

    5)Half-Life

    5)Silent Hill 2: Platinum Director's Cut Edition

    6)Silent Hill 3

    7)Peter Jackson's King Kong

    8)Sonic Unleashed

    9)Shadow of Memories

    XBOX games:

    1)Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood

    2)Silent Hill 4

     

    360 games(Got the first 4 free with the console, from eBay. They are at my home, and I won't be able to see them until I go there in the vacations :D ):

    1)Halo 3

    2)Harry potter and the order OF Phoenix

    3)Gears of War 2

    4)Forza 2

    5)Splinter cell Double Agent(Asian region free version)

     

    I was a gamer from my childhood, and played on a NES and Sega Mega Drive. But I've lagged behind, and have many games yet to play(I got my PS2 just 2 years ago. Indian gaming industry to blame for not enough promotion, and exorbitant prices for a middle-class person).

    I'm currently interested to play the following games:

    -Yakuza 1 & 2

    -Prince Of Persia trilogy(PS2)(Have played the Sands of Time, but don't have the disc)

    -Alan Wake

    -Prince Of Persia The Forgotten Sands(360)

    -Assassins Creed 1 & 2(360)

     

    Besides gaming, I'm aspiring to become a mathematician. I got selected to study B.Math in Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore last year. it's precisely due to my high ambitions in studies that I've lagged behind in gaming.

    I'm also a big wrestling fan. My favorite promotion is TNA, and favorite wrestlers are AJ Styles, Kurt Angle and Desmond Wolfe(aka Nigel McGuinness)

    That's all 4 now.
