About
Welcome to the home of PS3 Friday Night Fights here at Destructoid.

Friday Night Fights is a weekly event here at Destructoid where we, community members, cooperate with or murder each other online. There is a forum thread for planning and then a blog post here with the final schedule. Keep an eye out for both them if you want to play some games.

If you are new to the whole thing, check this out: FNF FAQ: Everything you need to know (but never asked) about Friday Night Fights

If you don't have a PS3 or can't handle the timezone disparity, give one of the other FNF flavors a try.

The Guide

To Play

• Keep yourself up to date on the schedule. The list in the forums can change several times throughout the week.

• Leave a message with your PSN name and which games from the schedule you want to play. More people will play if other people are playing, so speak up.

• Send a PSN friend request to the person hosting the game which includes a message with your Dtoid name. If you leave out who you are on the site, they might think you're just a random friend request and ignore you.

To Host

• If you want your game listed on the schedule, we need the game, the time, and your PSN ID. We need the specific game, not an abbreviation that applies to more than one; a start time, even if you're playing "all night"; and we need your PSN ID even if you think we know it already.

• 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.

• Make sure you have at least an hour to play. That's only two or three matches of the average shooter and those go by pretty quick.

• Check the comments, on both the forum post and the cblog when it goes up on Friday, to see if someone has said they'll play. You might have missed their PSN message or your friend list might be full.

You probably thought this would be about Borderlands 2, didn't you?


So, I'm off the wagon. That's right, I started playing Dark Souls again. As such, I've been glued to the online character builder, playing around to see what I can conceivably make work. I can't really say anything is going to be excellent for PvP because, as anyone who's played Dark Souls knows, PvP is hopelessly broken. Kids using poise-tanking, lighting weapon-wielding, vit-gouged, "baby's first PvP build" setups will always score easy wins, especially with lag on their side. This in mind, I have fun. I try to build effective characters, but with style. I want to be that phantom who shows up looking fly, wrecks enemy shop, and isn't useless in PvP for fending off invaders. In fact, I'm working on a blog of my character plans, but I also just had a crazy project dumped on me at work. It will be a bit before I can finish that. In fact, I'm posting this tonight because I won't have time at all tomorrow. In the meantime, check this baby out.

I guess I can come up with a few comments about Borderlands 2: The story missions are painfully tedious, I don't give a fuck about Handsome Jack, the returning Vault Hunters feel pale, the new ones and NPCs are forgettable, I'm not coming across enough weapon chests to keep loot interesting, they somehow made driving worse, and areas feel congested even outdoors, and the story presentation they ripped off from Bioshock with the echo recorders sucks because they respawn infinitely so either I ignore them and miss story or pick them up and hear the same thing for the fourth time.

I just shut it off in the middle of a boss fight with a combination of boredom and annoyance.

Welcome to the PS3 side of Destructoid's Friday Night Fights! Every Friday, members of the Destructoid community get together online to play games. FNF is an event run by and for the community, so everyone is welcome to join. Down below, you'll find a list of games that we'll play tonight along with the times they'll start, the people that you should hit up for invites, and any other information that might be required.

If you want to play, we need to know who you are. Leave a comment with the games from the schedule you want to play and your PSN ID. You should also send a PSN friend request to the hosts, including a message to say who you are here on Destructoid so they know you're one of the cool people and not just some random friend request.

If your favorite game isn't on the schedule, don't just sit there and whine about it. Anyone can host a game for FNF! You just need to give us the game, start time, and your PSN name so we can put it on the schedule. Last minute additions in the comments here are fine, but games can also be added earlier in the week by visiting the forums and finding the thread with the coming Friday's date. Adding a game there ensures it's on the blog from the moment it goes up.

All times Eastern.

Got two open slots, going fresh (new characters), rocking Salvi on this one. Think the other guy is using Axton.

p.s. Who in the name of Satan's fiery dick hole thought that there should be different buttons for getting in and out of vehicles? It's square to get in and circle to get out and that's retarded.

Mannnnnnnn, shut yo face.
Dark Souls is rocking! Never plan on using a guide, but I think it's pretty neat! I prefer the organic, decide what the character deserves kind of approach. Then repeat each level.
I bought Prepare to Die Edition on PC tonight. For this being my first time playing Dark Souls, I'm really digging it.
B2 all night.
I like Borderlands 2... at least the voice chat works this time and the online co-op is pretty seamless. I miss a lot of the story elements by continuing with online co-op but most of the quests seem pretty much like the first game anyway. There does seem to be some better humour in this one... lots of lines have made me laugh. I'll have to do a complete solo run through to really gauge the story... but so far I'm loving the ability to run around aimlessly with a bunch of friends shooting stuff up!

... and I'll be playing Borderlands tonight! I'll likely just use my existing Siren and jump into a game with whoever is online - Phil's game is a little late for me (10pm my time)

... and no picture of your Dark Souls guy? Just stats? (out of curiosity can you create a female in Dark Souls?)
I don't have any pictures of my Dark Souls character, or really a way to make a decent screen cap. It would be one of those "I took a picture of my screen with a camera" deals. For the purposes of the blog, I can probably find images of all the gear.

In both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls you can select male or female. There is a slider for masculine and feminine appearance after that, but it's fairly... Japanese. There were a few gender-specific armor sets in DeS, but not in DaS. Picking male or female really just selects the noise you make when you die and how your character stands when idle.
... and that's really all gender selection really needs to be. It's more for a sense of immersion in some games.
... and screen caps with a camera are usually ok to get a vague sense of what the character looks like! I often just use the crappy camera on my iPod Touch for many of my own blog pictures (mostly because of the convenience of that whole cloud thing... I take the picture on my iPod and it immediately appears on my PC for cropping and fixing!). :)
I jumped back on the Dark Souls wagon last week forgot how much hate PvP just scrubs strafing in circles for backstab. I stalled a invader in undead parish by standing in a doorway the guy had no clue what to do just threw fireballs at him til he charges after staring at me for 3 minutes.
In a sense, I like that the spirit of Souls is to find and exploit anything for an advantage, but dislike that any hamfisted idiot can do it. It seems like you are either a cheesed out scrub or getting killed by them. I honestly don't understand how people have fun with it when they play like that.
I use exploits on bosses (dung pie trick with stray demon and don't think ever fought ceaseless Discharge fairly) but in PvP it gets dull fast you both having to dance to avoid backstabbing. I prefer co-op I'm a true follower of jolly cooperation
I've always just stabbed Stray in the ass. Ceaseless has that pit thing programmed in, so I don't feel bad doing it at all. I much prefer silly or themed setups though, as long as they're decently effective.

Praise the sun!
Also "Imminent tears" in Lost Izalith.
Im the childish person who leaves messages like "needs Head" in front of the Crestfallen warrior npc with legs open at Firelink Shrine and "imminent amazing chest" in front of door to Gwynevere in Anor Londo.
Well, Gwynevere is like twenty feet tall...
Clearly this is a solaire thread now. So I'll throw in a little Borderlands 2. There's a Solaire reference in Borderlands 2, and I have an idea of where it is.
All comment threads should be about Dark Souls or Solaire on Dtoid
