I am not ok... I hate Game of Thrones! WHY do all the interesting characters die?! Assuming Tyrion goes next then literally the only great character left is Jon Snow (although Arya is getting close after her brilliant laugh) whilst boring characters like Theon Greyjoy and Stannis live on ![:(](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/sad.gif) Apparently next week is all at the Wall, its like an apology for the traumatisation this week. Prediction for the end of the season (I've yet to read the books so if I get it right its just cos I'm a genius): Mountain dies from his wounds/of poison from the spear (someone said that's why he was called the Red Viper) and Tyrion is able to save himself by saying its a draw. Honestly he'll probably die but I'm so in denial right now... So close....hold on ol son there's some light at the end of the tunnel!! I'm gonna read the books after this season. There better be!

I really want this game, but I don't really want a Wii U.

An average match that means something is, in my opinion, much better than a great match that means nothing. That's why the Attitude Era will always beat this era.

Not surprising considering the Wii U's biggest game to date just came out. Its still struggling hard, which is a shame, but at the end of the day Nintendo did ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) up big time with the marketing/branding, and I still don't see any strong reasoning behind the Gamepad. The PS4 will overtake it again soon and likely stay there for years to come.

AOL would've dumped WCW no matter what. Saying that, I tend to agree with Bischoff's admission that Thunder was a major problem too.

I stopped in 2004 and started again around WM21 the next year. I stopped for good in 2008 after WM24. Since then I've only watched WM28 and the last 2 Royal Rumbles for laughs. Saying that I still know roughly what's going on through these boards and sometimes join in with discussion.

My owners ran the club appallingly. No surprise I went into administration, but now I've been taken over by a billionaire Saudi dude I expect big things next season.

They'd easily break their attendance records if they came to Wembley. As someone said the Network is a good platform to do a UK WM from.

A vote for UKIP in the Euro elections (which are viewed as unimportant by much of the electorate and therefore the perfect place for a protest vote - getting your anger across without seriously changing the system) does not equal a vote for UKIP in the general election. I'll be surprised if they get a single seat. What it may do is give them enough to hurt the Tories meaning Labour get in. Saying that, when its all said and done in 2015 I still expect a slim Tory majority. People just don't want to vote for Ed Milliband (not that they are but people think they are) to be PM. I can understand that tbh. Had David got it I think Labour would win in 2015.

God, I can't wait for Fallout 4. A next-gen only Fallout 4 reveal for a 2015 release at E3 would be absolutely perfect. XBox One exclusive just to piss you off man. ![:P](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/tongue.gif) That would never happen. But if it did...

That sucks that you were stuck so early on. You must have discovered a ton of awesomeness in the past few weeks. Aye, you bet. It was like a new Fallout game came out for me. ![:P](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/tongue.gif) God, I can't wait for Fallout 4.

What were you stuck on for 4 years? The Galaxy News Radio mission. I kept getting killed and frustrated and I would quit and go back a few weeks later...same crap different day. Then a few weeks ago I got bored and gave it another go with the walkthrough for the mission and would you not know it? I have, on top of everything else, finally beaten Fallout 3 after four years of ridiculousness. XD That sucks that you were stuck so early on. You must have discovered a ton of awesomeness in the past few weeks.

Make sure to NOT use any guides. The game won't hold your hand or tell you where to go, but that is the best part. Oh, and pick the master key as your gift. But I like using guides and walkthroughs. I was stuck in Fallout 3 for almost 4 years without a walkthrough. They can help when you get stuck for four years on something. ![:P](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/tongue.gif) What were you stuck on for 4 years?

He's never been pushed as the face of the company, nor has he himself transcended into the mainstream. He's an A player, like HHH before him. But he isn't A+ like the guys I mentioned, who got there through being the stars of the company and pushed into the mainstream (apart from Undertaker who got there through sheer longevity and a unique gimmick). The fact that his finisher got to that level without him speaks volumes about it imo. He's been the WWE Champion like 10 times, they've put him as the star of their movies, and he was on the cover of the video game by himself a couple years ago. That's the face, man. One of them at least. He's never hit that top level though. That level that everyone agrees Hogan/Austin/Rock/Cena hit (and like I said, probably Undertaker too). He's on the one below with guys like HHH, Angle, Punk etc., so for his finisher to hit the mainstream without him is quite impressive.

My personal list:
1. Fallout 3 - I spent so long playing this game... its story was fantastic, it had countless memorable characters and its morality system and scope were both incredible. 2. Assassins Creed 2 - everything I ever wanted from an AC game, and it righted every wrong from the original AC whilst improving on the good things. 3. FIFA 12 - a revolutionary sports game, and I think IGN's highest-rated sports game for this gen. 4. Red Dead Redemption - this was a slow burner for me - it took me years to finally complete for some reason - but it was a truly great game. 5. Saints Row 2 - I can't put my finger on it but something about this game was just perfect. I think it had the optimum amount of craziness. 6. GTA IV - GTA V's big problem was that it came out right at the end. I got a PS4 like 2 months later and I've barely gone back to my PS3 since. If it was a launch game for PS4/Xbox One I would probably look back on it more fondly. As it is I spent years playing GTA IV so that gets the nod. 7. inFamous - I bought this on a whim (the only other game I've ever done that for is #5 in this list) and really enjoyed it. Great story and great gameplay. 8. Football Manager 2012 - I've sunk sooooo many hours into this game. A must-own for any football fan. 9. COD: MW2 - After everyone went on about MW for 2 years I got MW2. The gameplay was fresh to me and so much fun. I got MW3 with high hopes and was so disappointed it was basically the exact same game. 10. Mario Kart Wii - this game was just very, very entertaining.
Honourable mentions: All FIFAs, AC Brotherhood and Revelations, all FMs, Fallout: New Vegas, Wii Sports, UFC Undisputed, Civilisation: Revolution, FIFA Street & Heavy Rain.
I honestly believe this gen will be looked back on as fondly as any other generation of gaming. 2 consoles that ended up in a dead heat with the only real differentiator being the games they came out with.

The RKO has to go down as the greatest finisher ever imo. Its the only finisher that has ever entered the mainstream without being done by a top-top level superstar (Hogan/Rock/Austin/Undertaker/Cena/maybe HBK). I've seen plenty of people talk about the RKO who have never watched wrestling, yet Orton isn't really a mainstream-level star. That's bloody impressive. ...Orton isn't a top level superstar? He's feuded with little every person on your list of top superstars. My answer would have to be the Superkick, Stunner, Swanton, probably a million more. First three I thought of. He's never been pushed as the face of the company, nor has he himself transcended into the mainstream. He's an A player, like HHH before him. But he isn't A+ like the guys I mentioned, who got there through being the stars of the company and pushed into the mainstream (apart from Undertaker who got there through sheer longevity and a unique gimmick).
