That's right, fa.... I mean ladies and gentlemen, its time for PS3 Friday Night Fights! Clear your schedule and go stock up on some beer because tonight you're going to be spending your time slaughtering your fellow DTOIDers! What fun!
Obligatory (not so) random YouTube vid:
I'm sorry. Here are the games and time slots:
8PM EST: Marvel vs. Capcom 2 - Host: SantanaClaus89 (PSN: Moosehole)
Bonerine, Sentinel, and Dr. Doom. That's all I have to say. Think you can kick my ass? I would love for you to show up and give it a shot. (Heads up: A 200MB patch was released for this game last week. If you plan on participating tonight I suggest you get to downloading a little early... *cough*Y0j1mb0*cough*)
8PM EST: Tekken 6 - Host: JackofNoTrades (PSN: JackofNoTrades85) **Special Encore** 11PM EST - Host: BulletTrain (PSN: RPGEmperor)
Yes, the King of Iron Fist Tournament returns to FNF with Tekken 6. Do you think you have what it takes to beat JackofNoTrades? Let's be honest here: you probably don't. But you can show up and give it a shot anyway if you want. I'll even give you a free protip: mash X.
BulletTrain will be hosting a second round of Tekken 6 at 11PM EST for those of you that can't get enough Panda-in-pink-bunny-slippers-and-a-party-hat-on-old-men-action.
9PM EST: BlazBlue - Host: JackofNoTrades (PSN: JackofNoTrades85)
Nope, we haven't forgotten about you, BlazBlue. Jack's pulling double duty tonight and bringing the pain in this stellar fighter as well. If you're lucky, his fingers may be so tired from stomping your ass in Tekken 6 that you might win a few matches in BlazBlue. Only one way to find out...
10PM EST: Uncharted 2 - Host: FalconReaper (PSN: FalconReaper)
We couldn't have a proper FNF without Nathan Drake. The multiplayer in this game is absolutely outstanding, and I know damn well at least 50% of the PS3 owners on DTOID own this game so I expect a nice turnout. FalconReaper needs you to roll with him. I'll be there... will you?
11PM EST: SOCOM: Confrontation - Host: Y0j1mb0 (PSN: k0wb0y-b33b0p)
Ah, yes... SOCOM. You either love it or you hate it. I for one, love it and so do quite a few fellow DTOIDers. Y0j1mb0 and I will be ready to shoot the hell out of anything that moves... you should join us.
SUPER AWESOME BONUS!
All night long by invitation: Borderlands
Let's be honest here: you don't need me to tell you how badass this game is. You know that already. And you know that I know that you know that already. So here's the deal. If you want to get some looting action in with fellow DTOIDers tonight, leave your PSN ID and maybe your character's level in the comments section and you guys and gals can meet up tonight.
Well there you have it. Great games and good friends on a Friday night. Where else would you rather be than right here? Have fun.
Everyone else is gushing all over the c-blogs about how great BlazBlue is. With good reason: It's fucking AWESOME and I'm having a great time with it thus far. But you don't need me to tell you how great it is. There are plenty of other posts about that.
I'm just taking the time to write this up cause if you're still on the fence about picking this amazing game up, then there's one last thing you need to see that will push you over the proverbial edge.
I personally don't like WipEout HD very much, but hey it's being given away for free so I thought I'd put the word out to DTOIDers in case you wanted to get it.
All you have to do is create an Austrian (AUSTRIAN, not AUSTRALIAN) PSN account between now and April 18th. That's it. The email address that you use for the account will recieve a download voucher for the full version of WipEout HD on or a few days after April 18th.

Hey fellow DTOIDers... Have a PS3? Want your very own copy of High Velocity Bowling for free? Sweet! I got a code that can be redeemed for 1 copy of High Velocity Bowling emailed to me from Sony. Since I already have HVB, I'm giving it away.
What do you have to do to win? Well, I'm a huge Mega Man fanboy. So how about this. In your comment, list the correct boss order for the original Mega Man X, starting with Chill Penguin (the way I always play). It's that easy. The first comment to get it right will get the code PMed to them immediately.
I hate Halo Wars. I hate Street Fighter IV. I hate Braid. I hate Killzone 2. I hate Resident Evil 5. I hate Gears of War 2. I hate Heavy Rain. I hate Left 4 Dead. I hate God of War 3. I hate Flower.
I HATE EVERY GAME THAT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND MAJORITY OF GAMERS THINK ARE "COOL" AND "GOOD"(except for Call of Duty 4) BECAUSE I AM EDGY AND HIP AND I WON'T CONFORM TO WHAT THE MASSES TELL ME TO DO! ALL I NEED ARE MY COPIES OF DARK SECTOR AND TUROK. F U CONFORMITY!
OK let's see my momma named me Steve, but you would know me better as SantanaClaus89, or my PSN name, Moosehole. I'm 27 years old and reside in Virginia, about 20 minutes outside of Washington, D.C. Outside of games, I'm a huge sports fan who is die-hard for all my local teams (Redskins, Wizards, Nationals, Capitals).
I've had many different consoles throughout my 20 years of gaming, but I currently own a PS3, PSP-3000, PS2, SNES, Genesis, and NES.
