From the sound of things everyone had a fantastical night full of lulz, drinkz, bombz, gunz and anything else that you can swap an "s" for a "z" with (see also: Riser Glen). We hope to keep the fight train rolling through the station but pimped out with more smoke machines, disco balls, strobes and Gloria Gaynor tunes than you can handle. This would of course be The People's Fight Train for the United Gamers of Destructoid formed under the banner of Democracy; TPFTFTUGODFUTBOD for short. Yes folks, this train has a voice.
The goal here is to tweak the way Friday Night Fights works and what gets played. For starters, there will be posts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Monday posts will be a sort of wrap-up of the previous Friday with everyone throwing out their fun and embarrassing drunk moments (Snaileb handled this earlier), as well as a new voting system for what gets played that week. Wednesday's post will be a lay out of what got voted on the most where everyone can raise their hand to say what they're playing and if they'll be hosting (hosting is cereal business, cereal). And finally, on Friday, we put together the final post of the week with a complete game list and roster of players/hosts ready for Grim to thumbs up on the frontpage. Hopefully this system will create an easier to swallow pill-form of things (10,000,000 strong - and growing!) and get more people involved in smacking the crap out of each other.
Now that the wall of text has been broken down like it was 1989, we can get down to business: what do you want to play?* Don't forget that PC gaming is now a part of FNF, although I'm pretty sure we all know what's going to get picked and it makes console-only owners upset in the pants. Speak your mind and do it like this -- platform: game
*PREY is a definite this week due to a raping of Amazon.com
Thanks for continuing to support this, everyone! Here's a video for suffering through all those accursed words.
As always my votes are for 360 games since my puter is shit.
360: Rainbow Six, CoD4
GT: BigPopaGamer(willing to host again -D-)
By this time next week it will only be Halo3 voted on, as that game will be awesome in a room of 16 D-toiders. Until then, let's enjoy the last week of the Beta.
360: Call of Duty 4 beta
XBLA: Aegis Wing or Bomberman (no DLC)
I'll pretty much be in CoD4 all night, but if you need an extra for Aegis Wing or get a good Bomberman round going, HIT ME THE FUCK UP. I love that shit, too.
FNF for PC ought to be World in Conflict. I've been playing since the open beta in July and I can tell you it's up there for multiplayer game of the year (yes, it might even be better than Halo 3 and CoD 4 in that respect), and definitely the best multiplayer RTS.
Did I mention there are nukes? There are also air strikes, artillery bombardments, fuel air bombs, tank busters, poisonous gas, paratroopers and other goodies all available over the radio as a reward for good play.
damn I forgot about Motorstorm, maybe I should pick that one up. bhive01, being that you seem to know more about the games on the platform, which should I get? Which one is more multiplayer friendly and which do you like more?
between WarHawk and Motorstorm? or MotorStorm and Resistance?
WarHawk is the hot shit right now and a lot of people are playing it. They've had some issues with the servers as of late, probably from the massive influx of PS3 users who needed a new game to play. The retail package comes with a bluetooth headset which does work quite well, but gets uncomfortable quickly.
Motorstorm is REALLY fun. It is slowly losing some of it's sparkle, but they just put up a new track and vehicle. You have to buy it on top of the game for 5$, but it adds something new to a release-day game. The game is still fun to play though. I've kind of passed over the single player. Warhawk doesn't give you much of a choice, but, like Warhawk, Motorstorm really shines online. It is an arcadey racing game. If you like that sort of thing, I think it's worth picking up. If you don't then stay away. It's not even close to a Gran Turismo or Forza.
Resistance... I still haven't finished. I swore I was going to play it to the end on single player and then play a lot online, but then I got Motorstorm and had a blast so Resistance took a back seat. By the time I came back around to it, I'd lost interest and Warhawk was just around the corner.
thanks bhive. I haven't finished Resistance either and I only played online once. Hell I haven't finished any game on PS3 yet. Sigma, Heavenly Sword, Resistance. Maybe I'll finish them all before halo comes out.

PC: Fortress Forever
XBLA: Aegis Wing, Bomberman
I'll host either if needed.
360: Rainbow Six, CoD4
GT: BigPopaGamer(willing to host again -D-)

Maybe when it becomes more official.
XBLA: Aegis Wing, Bomberman, Catan, TMNT.
360 : COD 4 Beta
XBLA : Super Puzzle Fighter, Bomberman
(Er, may not be the best place to ask. bhive, are you still working to have Warhawk specific matches on Wednesday?)
PSN tag: Silverback55
360: CoD4 Beta, Bomberman, Shadowrun
PS3: Warhawk
I'll host if we need it.
360 : COD4
You're all going to play Prey? Really?
Also : WTF was that Riser Glen BS about? HERE
XBLA: Aegis Wing or Bomberman (no DLC)
I'll pretty much be in CoD4 all night, but if you need an extra for Aegis Wing or get a good Bomberman round going, HIT ME THE FUCK UP. I love that shit, too.
PSN: I'm going to go pick up Warhawk today
Kryptinite on both platforms.

So... WarHawk > Motorstorm >>> Resistance. IMHO.
