Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Saturday again. Which means we get together to play one single kick-ass shooter for the whole night. Or at least for a long time. Last week we had a blast playing Resistance 2 CO-OP. Which also means SNS was a success. This week we're gonna check if Warhawk is still the great shooter we all know (spoiler: it is!).
WARHAWK
Game name: Dtoid-SNS Password: TOID Time: 9:30 EST Host: Elsa (PSN: Elsa)
I'm going to mold SNS into something a bit different next week. Maybe let people vote whatever Shooter they really want to play on Saturday. Because honestly I don't really know who will play with us tonight. And I certainly don't want to be the guy who decides what we're gonna play and cram a game down everybody's throat. But I know out of experience that people are a bit lazy and rather want to see someone else create something and decide for them.
There are a couple of other things too. I know a few people would rather play on Sunday. Elsa is always having romantic dinners with an Old Snake look-a-like. Shipero is usually doing something else and I don't really care but I have to stay up 'till 9 am two days in a row rendering my well earned weekend almost completely useless (meaning I can't play on Sundays).
Now I need to shave my head and face because I look like a Gibbon. So if I don't show up at 9, I might have drowned myself in my imaginary bathtub.
Dtoid, get your games on! But most of all have fun!
(p.s. I couldn't create a theme for this week because I kind of did that yesterday already. I got a great idea for next week so keep your eyes peeled).
The Magical Mystery Tour is hoping to take you away. Hoping to take you away now. The Magical Mystery Tour. Roll up, roll up for the Mystery Tour. (Roll up) and that's an invitation. Roll up for the Mystery Tour. (Roll up) to make a reservation. Roll up for the Mystery Tour. The Magical Mystery Tour is coming to take you away. Coming to take you away. The Magical Mystery Tour is dying to take you away. Dying to take you away - take you today.
8PM EST: BlazBlue Host: JackofNoTrades (PSN: JackofNoTrades85)
Let me take you down, 'Cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real. And nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry Fields forever.
9PM EST: Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Host: Santanaclaus89 (PSN: Moosehole)
And our friends are all aboard, Many more of them live next door, And the band begins to play. We all live in a yellow submarine, Yellow submarine, yellow submarine, We all live in a yellow submarine, Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
10PM EST: Killzone 2 Host: Takeshi (PSN: JohanHin)
See how they run. Like pigs from a gun. See how they fly. I'm crying. Sitting on a cornflake - waiting for the van to come.
Hello little girl, hello little girl, hello little girl. When I see you everyday, I say: mm mm hello little girl. When you're passing on your way. I say: mm mm hello little girl. When I see you passing by, I cry mm mm hello little girl. When I try to catch your eye,
I cry mm mm hello little girl.
12AM EST: Socom: Confrontation Host: Santanaclaus89 (PSN: Moosehole)
We go wherever we want to, do what we like to do. We don't have time to get restless, There's always something new.
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees. And people say we monkey around. But we're too busy singing. To put anybody down.
He bag production he got walrus gumboot. He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker. He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease.
Well, maybe not really the night. But it's Saturday, which means we're gonna play some kick-ass shooter on the glorious Black Box-O-Blu-Ray. This night is reserved for only one game and one game only. That's because we think it deserves more than one hour on FNF or the games are just too long for one hour.
9:00 PM EST RESISTANCE 2 Host: Takeshi (PSN=JohanHin)
That's it? Well, yeah that's the whole point of this night. Plus most of the people who want to play Warhawk (another great shooter) can only make it on Sunday. This is merely a night to check things out. So we'll see how it goes. We can always change games if you guys had enough after a couple hours. I on my end can play CO-OP the whole night. It's so damn good.
Since there's a limit to the amount of team members in CO-OP we might need some back-up hosts. But I'm sure we can figure things out. If I'm not on your list just send me a message. We can always go back to 1998 and use the Text Chat on the PS3 to keep in touch.
Well, that it for tonight. I promise I'll creat a smart post for next week but there's drinking to be done right now. It's Saturday you know.
We're getting more and more requests to get Warhawk and Resistance 2 co-op back in the FNF rotation. The R2 co-op matches tend to be quite long, therefor it's not very suitable for FNF. Either way it's great to go back to R2 because I've been looking forward to play some co-op with you all.
Now the thing is that I don't know if any of you are willing to host a certain game and if people will show up. I can't remember who requested Warhawk and Resistance 2, it might have been one and the same person. And of course it doesn't only have to be Warhawk and Resistance 2 but having too many games will end up in the same problematic way as adding them to the FNF rotation. That's why I wanted to start with only two games.
Also I've called this SNS because to me it sounds like the perfect night. If somebody wants a different night it's cool with me. But I can't use the Flotsam & Jetsam video therefor it sucks beforehand.
And don't forget. The host for Warhawk needs to have quite a beefy connection. If I get my regular connection back I can host it pretty easily. 20 mbps down and 10 mbps up should be sufficient. But that will have to wait because the company I'm getting it from keeps messing it up.
I hope this doesn't interferes with SRK Saturdays but the request I've got weren't from people who play fighting games that much. Correct me if I'm wrong.
YES! It's that day of the week again! So everybody change your HDD's, get rid of your Backwards Compatibility, uninstall Linux and fire up your Weapon of Choice! Either FAT or SLIM.
Now please don't try those crazy moves at home. We want you to join our games undamaged. Will you follow me and look at what PS2... oh dang it... PS3 games we're going to play? Tonights games are gonna be:
8PM EST: BlazBlue Host: IronPikeman(PSN: IronPikeman)
I personally think Christopher Walken is kinda cheap but maybe you can beat his old ass.
9PM EST: Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Host: Santanaclaus89 (PSN: Moosehole)
I've seen Christopher Walken team up with The Hulk and Serv-bot. And boy they bust out some crazy combo's!
10PM EST: Killzone 2 Host: Takeshi (PSN: JohanHin)
If he doesn't loose in some epic Russian Roulette he might join. Who knows? In the mean time we're just gonna shoot each other and get on with it.
Team up with Christopher, John Travolta and Shipero to sing some great songs. I might record the battles so we can make a musical out of it.
12AM EST: Socom: Confrontation Host: Santanaclaus89 (PSN: Moosehole)
If and when Christopher shows up and survives the Killzone 2 action he might be bringing his rifle to Socom. He's been to Vietnam and stuff. He knows how to shoot people.
So there you have it ladies and gentlemen. It's gonna be one hell of a night! Now if you would be so kind to let us know what you're gonna play tonight. Leave your PSN below and join the festivities!
Enjoy the games brothers and sisters of the Dark Side!
