    Since talking about the Arkham games, I just see on the PC bargains thread Arkham Origins for those interested

    Origins is actually the one I've never played; I read the ending by mistake, and I worried bout the fact the voice actors werent the same (Conroy IS Batman to me). I probably should get round to it some time.

    The only problem with Origins is that it's basically a re-skinned version of City. It doesn't bring anything new to the table, but it doesn't really do anything else wrong either IMO. So long as you know that going in, I think you'd enjoy it

    So now they can finally book his next fight.

    UFC 229 Oct 6th in Vegas the mooted date. Nurmagomedov's has a UFC Q&A scheduled for tomorrow so you can bet that will be (would have been anyway) the talking point and I would not be surprised if they finally admit that talks are at least on going

    Well apparently talks seem to happening, if you believe Conor's manager, again via Ariel Helwani

    Seeing as he was way before my time, started listening to a little bit of Gary Glitter lately but I feel bad knowing he’s getting royalties.

    Is the All Ireland Hurling Final only to be played in August this year due to the Pope coming to Ireland? Or is it going to be an August finale from now on, instead of the usual 1st week of September?

    It's in August from now on. Football final is now supposed to be last sunday in August, but got pushed back a week this year because of the Pope.

    Aye, they might have lost, but there's no shame in losing to a team as strong as the Netherlands, and it's still one hell of an achievement.

    I did it years ago. Don't know if it counted towards any of my jobs / promotions but it can't hurt to have it on the cv all the same

    I did one of those years ago, go for it! Or just write it on your CV, don't think I have ever gotten a question about it, just highlights I can handle a computer to them. Depends on the job you go for though, No harm either way
