Before I begin the glorious online shenanigans that is Friday Night Fights, I thought I would be considerate and take the time to encapsulate as quickly as possible the highlights of each platform at E3 08 for those that may have missed it. My personal views I keep to myself and let you come up with your own conclusions. Know that I'm merely just showing only the one moment in each company's presentation that was their best, so without further ado:
XBOX 360:
Nintendo:
and finally..
Sony:
I'll let you figure out what this means..
And now that the recaps are out of the way, unto the spectacle of PS3 Friday Night Fights!!
What's up? Been awhile. Seven days. Seven days to wait to play in the online fisticuffs that is PS3 Friday Night Fights and rub elbows with the best of the best Destructoid has to offer. Well killer the time is now..show us what you got. Let's get this show on the road with the games & times, shall we..
First up is Tekken Online.
If you have fought me online on Tekken the character above, you probably have tasted his kick in your face, his elbows to your noggin', your defeat by his hands. Tonight wont change much that order of sequences but hey, at least you can tell your grand kids in the future how you played one of the best Bruce players out there. Many have challenged, many have failed *cough--SantanaClaus--cough*.
The time for fighting supremacy begins @ 8:30 pm EST. SantanaClaus will be your MC/Host. His name on PSN is Moosehole. Send him a friend request or let him know below you're interested in playing and he will send you an invite. If by chance we have more than six people show up Takeshi will be an additional host as well. His PSN name is JohanHin. Think you can best Qraze in Tekken? He's not bad, let me tell you. Or SoopaFly TNT? Yeah, him you can beat. Show up and DO IT.
Next on the list is the game I'll never grow bored of..Wardrox's favorite game.. COD4.
Anytime. Anywhere. I'm always down for this game. I need some devil dogs to roll with me tonight. Who's with me? The time for this will be @ 10:30pm EST. Yours truly will be hosting and ready to take on the competition. Who knows? Maybe a certain Destructoid editor *cough--Gameboi--cough* may show up. You never know who'll drop by and join you kiddies.
and finally WARHAWK, BITCHES!!
All I gotta say is the new modes with the last update KICK ASS!! Hero Mode is pure win as is the other mode both which we will be playing all night long. If you haven't spun your Warhawk in a while..do so tonight to update it with your free modes of play and let's get this party started right. Trust me you will LOVE the new modes. Shipero, Santana, Qraze, Ha-Puken and myself have thoroughly played the hell out of them and we can testify: Warhawk is better than ever because of the update. FANTASTIC. The time for Warhawk will be 11:30pm EST and Shipero will be your Host.
Know also that like always, Shipero will be hosting some Rock Band at the same time COD4 is rolling 10:30pm EST. So all you would be Rock Stars that like strumming on plastic guitars, and beating on fake ass drums, and who think they can sing, bring it. Scare them neighbors Dtoid style.
All interested party members leave your PSN name below.

There's no place like home... except Microsoft's new thingy :(
I'm actually off work tonight! So I might be able to participate in this elusive FNF hullabaloo brouhaha everybody's been talking about. I have CoD4, MGO (haven't registered yet because I don't have a USB keyboard and I'm too impatient to type all that in with a PS3 controller), and Warhawk. PSN ID is "cycopl". You might see me around.
I've been MIA for the last two weeks, and will be again tonight. I've had been moving into a new place, so setting up internet and stuff took a week or so.
But now I'm heading back out again, to visit some buddies and head out on the lake tomorrow. Have a nice time guys :P
PS Hopefully the MGO expansion will quit crapping it's pants and get up and running by tomorrow for some SNS action?
i'll be around for tekken and maybe warhawk. thanks again yojimbo, you ain't to bad yourself. also need more tekken players, takeshi, ha~puken and me have these matches that always go around in circles. its a good thing though because i always beat takeshi and ha~puken beats me, takeshi beats ha~puken, i beat takeshi. a goddam fncking circle.
I had loads of fun with y'all last week in COD4, even though I don't have the expansion pack, and am apparently the only person on Dtoid without it. I really hate paying more money, especially on a game that I'm not good at.

I was really excited for finally be able to take part in PS3 FNF, but I don't own any of those games so I still can't join in :P
I'll show up tomorrow for Solid Snake Saturday though.
I'm in for CoD4 and Warhawk. I haven't tried out the new Hero mode yet, but it looks great :)

I may be back in time for some warhawk. The hero mode sounds interesting.
If anyone is interested in playing cod4 earlier than 1030 let me know, I should have a few Dtoid'ers warming up before hand.
