About

Welcome to Dtoid's Friday Night Fights for Xbox 360!

FNF is a weekly, community-run event where Dtoiders get together to play videogames online! Planning starts in the forums, followed by posts here in the cblogs and on the front page on Fridays. It's easy to get involved, so why not start today?!

<-- You can read the blog for more info, but here are the basics:

How to FNF

To Play
• Leave a comment in the blog or forum post with your Gamertag and which games from the schedule you want to play. More people will show up if they know other people are playing, so speak up!

• Send an Xbox LIVE friend request to the person hosting the game and let them know you're from Dtoid and you're ready to FNF!

To Host
• Leave a comment in this blog or the week's forum post listing game you want to play, the time you want to play it, and your Xbox LIVE Gamertag.

• Don't worry about hosting the same game or hosting a game at the same time as someone else. Instead, think of it like a movie theater; more than one game can run at the same time!

360 Friday Night Fights: Adoption

12:50 PM on 08.03.2012

In less than one month, PAX Prime will be happening in Seattle. You all have no idea how excited I am to go to my first convention ever and meet quite a few of you! I feel lucky that my first convention it going to be such a big one and it wouldn't be possible without a great Dtoider (Knutaf)! I have been looking forward to this for so long, I believe it will be the highlight of this year. As much as I want to see you all, I know that is sadly not possible. However, there is a way you can be (sorta) be there!

Around this time, some adoption blogs will start to pop up for the people that can not make the event but wish to be there. All you have to do is write a blog why someone should bring your (awesome) avatar with them on their trip. Dtoid PAX attendees tend to adopt an avatar or two so chances are pretty good that anyone that puts a blog up will get picked up. What happens when you are adopted you ask? Well, pretty much they take a picture of your avatar with them and take photos of your avatar with the likes of the worst community manager, Dtoid's well known reviewer or the big man himself. So what are you waiting for, get to writing... after you enjoy tonight's offerings of course!

New to Friday Night Fights? It's easy to get involved!

Each week, a bunch of us Dtoiders get together to play videogames online! It's a 100% community-run event, so feel free to join in or even host something yourself!

The planning for FNF starts in the forums, where community members volunteer to host matches and post their pertinent details (game, time, Gamertag, etc.). Then, every Friday, reminder posts go up here in the cblogs followed by a recap post on the front page on the front page for last-minute planning.

To join in, simply send a friend request to the match host! (Don't forget to say you're from Dtoid!) If you'd rather host something yourself, just post your details below in the following format:

Game: Game Name
Host: Dtoid Username
Gamertag: Xbox Live Gamertag
Time: Time (Eastern please!)

We hope to see you online!

smurfee mcgee

I just downloaded Cold Stream for free so we'll see how fast I get banned.

Blasto

Well thanks for sharing with the rest of the class, Smurfee, selfish bastard :P
...they won't ban you for downloading it, I downloaded every piece of day one DLC, including retail exclusive, for Mass Effect 2 when they screwed that up, and no ban for me.

Since I'm so sweet, here are the details, via CAG:

"To download Cold Stream for free:
Start up Left 4 Dead 2
On the Main Menu select 'Downloads'
Cold Stream should be an option, select it"

My download's at 39%. Free shit; I'm so excited, I feel like a PC gamer or something!

Corduroy Turtle

My Cold Stream download got to 99% but popped up with a "can't download" message. I tried again, same thing. Maybe they already blocked it or something.

I don't even mind paying for it, I JUST WANT TO PLAY IT.

smurfee mcgee

I told a couple people. I want you to pay, Blasto.

Swishiee

Look forward to seeing you at PAX, Monk!

Blasto

@Smurfee: YOU. You son of a...

...and yeah, Corduroy, I saw reports of that so I paused my download at around 60%. I figure once the DLC hits the regular marketplace, I can unpause it and it'll work. I hope. I noticed it doesn't show up in your account history, strangely, so who knows. Worth a shot.
