I'm going to just flat out and say it as real as I possibly can.. I love Friday Night Fights and Wednesday Night Warcawks.(
Which wouldn't have even happened without it's mad creator bhive...my thanks for that! ) I remember when we ventured on this trek and it was a limp turnout here, another limp turnout there, I remember when it was just Shipero, Sadistic and myself just running around trying to kill each other like loony birds doing circles, and now look.
Our attendance has been in an incline for weeks now and we keep getting more and more people filling in our online gaming community. This is what it's all about. Last Warcawks was fantastic. We have an influx of old school and new members alike, as well as Destructoid's own Editors/Writers entering the fray and things are only getting better.
I don't know if it's just people finally giving the PS3 a try, but there has been a noticeable shift in attendance and I for one, nay WE for one, are almost shedding a tear of joy. Perhaps the PS3 is coming on it's own and if this is the case..it's about time. We've , PS3 diehards, have been here for a year and it seems like now people are coming around. At this time I would like to send some kudos to a few members of our Dtoid community that without their support Friday Night Fights would not be possible.
Everyone on Destructoid..thank you. Niero, Ron, all you guys, appreciate it. Snaileb, I kinda just started posting out of the blue but your support that you offer is always appreciated. Shipero, Sadistic..what can I say..you guys rule. And last but not least..EVERYBODY that joins us on our Friday Night Fights excursions.. you have my many thanks. Keep joining us online and for those who haven't joined us in the festivities..Get your LAZY asses up off that sofa and do so. :D
Enough with the love unto the carnage!!
The Games & Times:
The Unreal Tournament Festivities will be starting at 8pm EST and will be hosted by none other than our own residential psychopath: Mr Sadistic.
Call Of Duty 4 will begin at 9:30pm EST and will be hosted by yours truly Dtoid's own y0j1mb0. Tonight we fight as a team. I need some soldiers to represent Destructoid. Let's take the pain to them and rank up together.
After we finish with COD4 Warhawk will be on the menu @ about 10pmEST..Password TOID..as usual. Hosted by Shipero. I'm hoping we have an open server for a clan match..I leave that to Shipero..as well as attendance.
Shipero doesn't partake in COD4 because of these delusions of being in a ROCK BAND. Maybe you can join him and show him how it's done. Or maybe some BURNOUT PARADISE? He thinks he's Steve McQueen too. Damn Shipero you need help buddy.
For those who don't own COD4 or the others don't fret as the UT3 game hosted by Sadistic will be going on until at least 10pm EST or until you get demoralized by Sadistic and quit.
RAINBOW SIX VEGAS 2 will be making it's official debut next Friday for all you Mercs out there. I'm one of them.
Bring it gents. Hope to see the lot of you there so I can bust a cap in your face. Leave that PSN Tag below and let me know something.
Oh and Blindside Dork I owe you an ass whipping in Warhawk!!

I'm totally a hot shot race car driver/rock god. Anyone who says different is a damn liar.
Somehow in all this you completely failed to mention bhive is the one that actually started WNW...so...just a little history there for the kids.
I'll see you in 7-10 business days.
This is going to be good. I've got to go to a party first. So I'll be drunk when COD4 starts! Huzzah super cheap Takeshi killing!
Jimbo we'll do the Front Mission contest next time, I don't want to GIVE it to you ... :) Next week: Vegas 2! UT3 finally!
Butmac:
No disrespect there intended. I didn't know who started WNW. But I did thank everyone. When I stepped in the picture I just jumped in headfirst.
bhive has always had my respect, he's cool like that.
I agree with B-mac.
I agree with Y-b0.
Shipero needs to stop lying. We all know hes the rootbeer baron...
And kudos on the new banner chief.
Something something Dark Side
If we wanted people to join us wouldn't we want them to get their lazy ass on the sofa?
Shipero:
I don't need any of your falutin logic here..shoo!
Shipero's Logic
as sharp as a knife
Well, even though you just showed up and started taking care of all that jazz, I didn't mind and I'll support whoever makes it their duty to unite dtoid gamers for any gaming. Go you.
Honestly, I don't think you've been here for a year, but that's ok too. Im not here to be a kill joy, so have fun doing what you guys do, I think it's pretty awesome. Since the PS3 crowd wasn't happy with the way I had things set up, I guess you did a good job, so game on.
I should totally live on the west coast or something. I pass out at 11 pm most nights and usually my weekends are filled with other things...
*le sigh
I'm glad that you've taken this and run though. As I said to Shipero today, Warhawk Clan invites and maintenance will be through him from now on. Not that I won't be playing anymore. It's just that I'm trying to catch up on other things lately. :(
Snaileb:
The year reference was for the PS3 being out a year..lol. Reread it and you'll notice the reference. You took that the wrong way. Hence the blog Pic and title ..it's a subtle nod of PS3, not being loved since it's release..
I aint that old that I don't know how long I've been a member Snaileb..lol.
@Yojimbo
I was confused the first time I read it too. I think we've only been doing the seperate post thing since Decemeber or maybe January. I just remember Samit suggested it and I though it sounded like a good idea since the CaffinePowered was doing it for TF2 and that seemed to go pretty well.
@shipero:
You Rock Banding tonight? I'm snowed in, delaying my travel plans, and need some sweet music to console me.
@MaxVest
Sure am, I've gotten tired of COD4 so I'm always looking for people to play either Rock Band or Burnout with.
psn:darktravesty
What a terrible reply Yojimbo : I comment to you about you doing awesome things that contributes to gaming with the community, but yet somehow you turned it against me telling me I'm wrong in a condesending way. But hey, we all make mistakes, so my bad. WHATEVER.
HAVE A GREAT FNF GUYS DONT STAY UP TOO LATE
@DarkTavesty
I'm sure you're up for FNF (Friday night Folding) right?
@MaxVest
When do you want to play, 9PM EDT like last time?
Sure, sounds good! Why don't you branch out into a harder difficulty level, Mr. 98%? Take some risks, like a Rock Star!
PSN:Whiteboy0869.
My loser brother is visiting and I leave for work at 10:30 pm, but I'll try and make it for some UT3 at 8, 8:30.
Hope to see you there....
If anybody's interested, BlindsideDork and I are planning on trying Condemned 2 multiplayer.
PSN: BitGlitch
@-D-
I played the demo last night and I didn't care much for it. The combat seemed off.
I am so there for warhawk !
LOL @ Takeshi
Can I look forward to encountering Samit next Wednesday for Warcawks?
i would like to get in on the COD$, how do I get involved?
Should be able to make it tonight for some CoD. Samit you better be there. I need my murder buddy. Yojimbo is getting good too. Team TOID represent!
spacecadetjoe:
Leave your psn tag and I'll send you a friend request..or someone else will.
cool...
psn:spacecadetjoe
@kami: Sorry, dude...I’m home for spring break, and I didn’t bring my PS3 home with me. But I’ll definitely be there next Friday!
OMG!!! Condemend 2 multiplayer is what legends are MADE OF!
It is simply...words can't describe. I am just in awe and probably would make a killer FNF. You know, see who can stay the longest playing it before quitting.
I agree with Blindside.
Ah yes. This is the day that legends are made of. Tonight this is going to be epic (at least I hope so). Just got back from watching Diary of The Dead (which is incredible), and now I'm eating my dinner and patiently waiting to crush the hopes and dreams of those with delusions of grandeur thinking they can beat me.
Ah yes, tonight is going to be epic indeed.
We all know we're going to lose to you Sadistic. I'm just in it to kill j1mb0, especially after he scared the shit out of me by turning his camera on while we were chatting.
Imagine what you would think if a guy who looks like Yoj1mb0 popped up on your TV out of nowhere? Thank God the kids were sleeping!
Tonight is deathmatch night, instead of the proposed Warfare game type. Mainly because of the patch. Either tomorrow or next week we'll revert back to Warfare or CTF/VCTF if the people want. Anyway, what I was getting to is that I'll probably stick to my IH or Enforcer just to give people a chance.
Sadistic:
LMAO!! I owned in in UT3 EDS..and just when you might have won that last round the stress musta been to much to bear and you quit. :)
Oh and uh for those wondering how to get in UT III, the password is TOID.
I didn't quit! lol
Hopefully my bastard brother wont connect to the net tonight at all. He's an unwanted guest, but he's still a guest for 2 more days. Fucker.
rock band now anyone? add me to your lists, since i tried going through a list of you all once, and that didn't work so well. i got maybe 2 people lol.
PSN: broonor
let z games begin!
@jpitner
MaxVest and I are going to be playing in about an hour. If we're doing the configuration as last time than he'll be drumming with me on Guitar/Bass. I'm not sure what you like to play but if you want to do Guitar/Bass as well we'll just switch off after every song. I'll send a friend request in a second, just need to boot someone I don't play with often.
See you guys THERE!!!
Hi all, long time lurker, first time friday-er. I'm in for some hot knife action on CoD and Warcawks tonight.
PSN: kapowski
Tonights WarHawk server will be the regular deathmatch rotation, I can leave it open/ranked if people want but I didn't have time to come up with a decent team game list for tonight. (If anyone has suggestions of what maps/matchs they want in there I'm all ears.)
i've been getting unable to connect to host errors throughout the day on cod 4 so if i dont join keep sending till i do.
I'm in for COD4; DrawingBlanks
