For those who are weird and may actually want to read more of my stuff here are things off the blog I do. Occasionally I write for Flixist, a rad movie site where, get this, we talk about and review movies. I also help out a bud and try my hand out at game journalism (heh) at The Obsessed Gamer
Earlier in the week I asked my PS3 alumni to vote on the games they would like to see in our rotation on our fabled Friday Night Fights Lineup. Few heeded the call to vote, eerily reflecting how it usually is when voting in real life. The few that did were either already in the rotation or older games that I don't know whether the majority of the people still own. So our lineup has a few changes but not the total conversion I was expecting. Please if you want a game added, like say Saint's Row 2 which I hear has fun multiplayer PM me anytime and let me know. I do listen to people on occasion when I'm not stroking my luxurious beard.
I recently purchased SOCOM: Confrontation and to those that didn't read my preview of the game let me just say that the servers are getting pounded harder than Vanessa Del Rio in her prime. So for this Friday I'll pass on putting it here but know that when I could get on SOCOM it was very impressive indeed. May hap next week we'll have servers running smoother and debut it then.
Now to our standard PS3 Friday Night Fights.
The festivities begin with TEKKEN. The time will be 8:30PM EST. Your host will be SantanaClaus aka Moosehole. Time to see if you got what it takes to hang with the big boys. Santana and his Bear are ready to feast on some noobs. See if you can you take that fool out. Somehow I don't foresee that happening. Good luck. You'll need it here.lol.
Time: 10pm EST. Takeshi will be your COD4 Host with the most. So who's going to be there with the Dutchman tonight? I have missed the fields of chaos that is COD4. Who will welcome me back proper to this game? YOU. That's who!! Come and join the world class Dtoid clan and witness precision and efficiency in killing like you have never seen before. That and listen to me be drunk rambling on as well.
Not to be outdone by Takeshi, Alexradl will continue to host the futuristic eye melting races of WipEout HD!!
That's my ship yall.
This also will be offered @ the timeslot of 10pm EST for an alternative to the shoot your face off gameplay that is COD4. Think you're good enough to race with Dtoider's best of the best?? Then by all means join us. Just cause you are blazing through the single player easily doesn't mean you can do the same against REAL competition. I foresee plenty of destruction and elimination due to lock on torpedoes and quake bombs. Show us what you got. Keep in mind all you got to do is look for a friends only race, see Alexradl's name and join. Too easy. Eight player races are epic BTW.
Next up...
Let it be known that we here at PS3 FNF can not be accused of lacking diversity as Shipero will be trying to showcase his superior knowledge of all things trivia in the extraordinary video game of BUZZ! the Quiz TV show. The time will be 11pmEST. Think you can stump him in Music, Movies, or science? I've tried and he has bested me. Pssst, pick sports. Now's your chance to show him and all of Dtoid what your made of. Get those buzzers going and destroy the competion for bragging rights as we debut this awesome game. I will be one of the contestants, who will join Shiper and I tonight??
And finally the game that has been infused with new life with bikes and trophies. None other than..
Shipero will be hosting yet again @ 11:30pm EST for the night owls the vehicular mayhem that is Burnout Paradise City. Yes for those that can't get enough of that Guns N Roses song and races at the speed of light into incoming traffic, you're game to play is here. We will be tearing up the road as well as acquiring trophies together. Come join the fun and let me add your mugshot to my collection.
Also because a a few of you asked for this, you know who, after Burnout will be busting a few rounds of an old favorite: CALLING ALL CARS. If you're with us on Burnout when we finish there we're jumping on this.
How's THAT for a line up?? The games are lined up. The times are set. All we need is you. Will you join us?? All interested parties holla below. We'll see you online tonight.
I may jump onto Wipeout for a bit, and I was really hoping for a SOCOM segment. I'll be playing the laggy, error ridden game almost all night or at least until I get my Resistance 2 beta key, (which at this point may never happen).
Can you add Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars to the list at 8:30. I'm not sure how many people will show up, but I'll be on anyways tonight so I can host some matches until 10:00.
Who here has Buzz! besides Shipero? I'd love to get into some good ol' fashioned trivia game show gaming. Maybe, if it catches, we could have a night for it? Eh eh? Jimbo? Ships? Errbody?
Actually they added that a loooong time ago, I just recently found out.
For others like me, you can find it if you press right on the d-pad in the game. Scroll all the way down and there it is.

Myself, jimbo, and ha-puken all have it. Takeshi and njsykora have it as well but there is currently a region lock so we can't play with them.
I can host Saints Row 2, although I haven't touched multiplayer yet. But how hard can it be, right? PSN me, I'll be on soon.
Also, if anyone's up for Resistance this week.............thought not.
I'll be there for CoD4.
damn that Buzz region lock.
I'm so glad they added the custom soundtrack option.
B) I vote for Linger in Shadows.
C) Sony is pissing me off.
CUSTOM SOUNDTRACKS IN BURNOUT PARADISE?
WIN.
I'll be blaring Gogol Bordello, Fall Of Troy, and Cannibal Ox the whole time, when I finally get the game.
For others like me, you can find it if you press right on the d-pad in the game. Scroll all the way down and there it is.
How about Far Cry 2 for next week? The multiplayer looks pretty good.
I'll be sporting Far Cry 2 next week, let me know when you get it so we can play.
