A SPECIAL DTOID ALL STAR POKER NIGHT: With EPIC PRIZE up for Grabs!!
Y0j1mb0 | 4:01 PM on 06.18.2008 34 comments




Wednesday is upon us fellow Poker Players and that can only mean one thing...nothing typically. But tonight that's going to change. Poker Nights has Officially been moved to Wednesday Nights. I'm trying to give my fellow Dtoiders Balth, Shipero and King3vbo a little elbow room for their D&D Night Extravaganza. Due yourself a favor and check their blog here and support these poor nerds and geeks with their endeavors. I hear they need a healer. Or you could just do what we used to do back in high school and ridicule them. Go to that post then come back. Done ridiculing them? Good!!... So hence forth Mondays are D&D Nights and Wednesday are for us alcoholics who like manly card playing and free games that we hand out to the winner!! So who's all in with me tonight? I need some card sharks to decimate my friends. Last time I won my choice of a PS3 game. So sweet. You can't beat that shit man!! Oh wait ..we did!!

Cause tonight's prize is SO EPIC we wont reveal it in this hear blog. You'll just be told after you win. Trust me people you should be creaming your panties for it. But will you win it?? I don't know cause I can smell fear and if you try to bluff me, you're going to lose. We recruited more players, I went ahead and stocked my fridge with booze and it's time to get it on tonight. Last time we had an absolute blast and tonight is going to be even better. We got more people on tap this time around, like Video_Cognito, a certain UT3 mapmaker, hopefully Kryptinite will show up to show us how it's done..yeah right, and even a few surprise guests so we will have even more hi jinks!!

On one of my earlier Poker posts, I decided to make an impromptu checklist for maximum enjoyment getting, for this post I updated it.

Poker Checklist for Tonight:

1. Booze.


Just not booze shown here with the fruity taste and fruitier umbrellas in them.

2. PS Eye. ( Not required but boy is it fun looking at drunk ass bastards falling on their faces! )



3. The PSN Poker Game... duh!


Found at the PSN Store for quick download.

4. And some brass balls.


Not too many of you have these..tsk..tsk..

So whats the hold up?? Bring your ass onto the festivities and try to beat us in Poker. I'm quite sure you guys think you can take me on, so bring it. Who knows. The planets may align tonight , Hailey's comet may also fly across the sky, Sadistic may suck at UTIII, Shipero may cut himself with his own Warhawk knife, and you may win.



Shipero, Ha-Puken, Takeshi and I are will be doing Tequila shots. Maybe SantanaClause will make an appearance with his baby beard. Maybe ceark will stop licking his wounds from the last time he played poker with us and show up. Who knows maybe naib wont be trashed before poker and he actually plays a few hands before we send him packing. I know I'll be drinking some alcoholic beverages. So I'll be pleasantly buzzed before I begin.

Your chances of acquiring that copy of MYSTERIOUS EPIC PRIZE are exceptionally good. Leave your PSN tag below if your interested and if you by chance aren't in any of our Dtoiders' Friend lists.

The time for PSN Poker will begin @ 10pm EST. All you gotta do is boot up your poker game, look for the poker tables hosted by either Shipero, k0wb0y-b33b0p ( That's me ), James Ewing, Video_Cognito and or Johanhin then enter on the table. They are easy to find, just look for "any" mode of poker tables and the ones with the padlock on the side will lead the way. Password to enter is: "toid"

If by chance we have alot of people..yes please.. then we will split up into two tables. Again look for tables with the host names I provided so if one is full look for another. We will start with an open table to game a bit then after a certain amount of time we break off in the real playing on SIT & GO tables. Once you're eliminated that's it. The last three people standing of each table will then enter the FINAL sit & go table to decide the WINNAR. ( Pssst: here's a spoiler..it will be me. )

Again EPIC MYSTERY PRIZE IS EPIC.

Hope to see you Card Sharks there.

Y0j1mb0's Destructoid Blog
Good lord!! SantanaClaus has got a camera!!

Qraze:

Y0j1mb0's Destructoid Blog
Qraze:

I meant you the "Man"..lol.
shipero's Destructoid Blog
I like "the nab" better.
Qraze's Destructoid Blog
i liked being the nab though!
SantanaClaus89's Destructoid Blog
@ Y0j1mb0:

No mugging going on here I just regretfully parted with $40 during my trip to Wal-Mart today...
GoS-CPT-Stewart's Destructoid Blog
I'll definitely be there. You better watch out, that prize is gonna be mine. Anyone that wants to add me on PSN my name is the same as here on DToid: GoS-CPT-Stewart
Ha-Puken's Destructoid Blog
@Sadistic
"Me losing at UT III? Man, that is a classic!"
I think Y0j1mb0 said "suck" not "lose". Worried about something Sadistic?
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
NEVER
CountingConflict's Destructoid Blog
I should be there tonight. I'm going to grab the real PSEye so I'm not having to use my xbox camera with a bluetooth headset. Also, I have whiskey... you know what that means.
Y0j1mb0's Destructoid Blog
He's worried I'm going to whip that ass in UT3 this PS3 friday night fight coming!!
Ha-Puken's Destructoid Blog
Shit! mixing ContingConflict and whiskey is like mixing bleach and ammonia... only with more profanity and buttsecks.
But I digress... Yeah J1mb0, he's worried.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
The only thing I'm worried about is the fact people might get discouraged and leave early, like always :\
Video Cognito's Destructoid Blog
It is gonna be ON tonight, brother. Although I don't think I'd be the best person to host a table, so one of you other folks oughta get on that. But man oh man is it gonna be good tonight.
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
What happened to playing Warhawk on Wednesdays?

I got my copy today....

Question: Is that map pack any good? It's really well priced for the amount of content in it, but is the content any good?
GoS-CPT-Stewart's Destructoid Blog
I'm with Vexed Alex. I got my PS3 on Monday and I have Warhawk. Does anybody around these parts still play it or am I stuck joining randoms and getting my ass handed to me? Not that I won't get my ass handed to me already, but at least if it's Dtoid members it'll be somebody who can joke about it...

Also, Alex. My PSN name: GoS-CPT-Stewart
Send me a friend request and we'll play some Warhawk together sometime when I'm not editing a wedding or working on a UT3 map :P
shipero's Destructoid Blog
@Vexed Alex

People stopped showing up so I decided to stop hosting. If there's an interest in it I can start hosting before poker or add it back into the Friday rotation.

As for the map packs, each one is essentially one gigantic map that can be broken down into smaller sections to fit the size of the group playing. I really like the snow map from the latest expansion while the industrial zone from the one before was merely ok. Each expansion also contain a new vehicle Omega Dawn has a dropship that is only really useful for large team battles and Broken Mirror has an APC which is more useful for smaller matches. Persionally I think that Broken Mirror is the better pack but I think you can pick both up in a bundle for a decent price from the store.
shipero's Destructoid Blog
Also, if anyone's interesting in playing at non-schelduled times it's not very difficult to goad Yojimbo, Takeshi, Ha-Puken, or myself into a few matches. Hell, most times you should be able to get a majority of us to join you as long as we're not busy with something else. This goes for all games as well, not just Warhawk.
xMalachi's Destructoid Blog
I'm gonna try and get in on this when I get a PSEye.. I'll be there next week reguardless :D.. Jimb0, I picked up The Club today if you ever want to play that haha.
Qraze's Destructoid Blog
and i heard as it were, the noise of thunder.one of the four beasts saying, come and see and i saw and behold, a white horse. gonna be great tonight. get the poker fellas.
Y0j1mb0's Destructoid Blog
XMalachi:

You are on brother. I love The Club!! Dark Travesty's got that too..I'll get him to join us one night.

Everybody:

Like Shipero said. We are doing for whatever as far as games. Let us know. Between Shipero, Takeshi, Ha-Puken and Myself we own just about every multiplayer game for the PS3..well the ones worth playing. It doesn't have to be an official night. If you're on my friend's list and see me online..send me an invite. If I'm not busy I will join any fellow Dtoider for some online fisticuffs.

That's what it's all about.
CountingConflict's Destructoid Blog
I will be hosting one of the rooms, because Jimbo will be remote playing from his psp for a while. Look for me in a few!!! See ya there suckas!
Video Cognito's Destructoid Blog
@COUNTINGCONFLICT:

What's your PSN?!
CountingConflict's Destructoid Blog
Yo... is there another room going? We are waiting for one player in James' room because Qraze didn't want the prize.
GoS-CPT-Stewart's Destructoid Blog
Good game tonight! I came so close, but I already have the Essentials collection so it doesn't matter to me. Although, I was thinking that if I did win, I'd set up a contest here on the C-Blogs for someone to win it.

Anyways, great game and I look forward to trying again next Wednesday!
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!!
I'm sorry for calling you an old fart Jimbo. Because THIS old fuck fell asleep again! Can you believe it? Woke up at six o'clock in my 'leopard chair', back all sore and 10000 PSN chat invites.
I'm sorry guys if my absence made Jimbo win again.
