PS3 Friday Night Fights: Visions of Melancholy from a Fast-Moving Train
shipero \| 1:37 PM on 06.13.2008	29 comments

Some of you may be asking yourselves what the title and video have to do with PS3 FNF? The answer is very simple; they have absolutely no ties at all. I just really like the video and felt like referencing one of my favorite books. However, since Yojimbo left me in charge while he takes his kids to watch The Hulk you have to read what I write and watch what I decide to show you. You have no choice in the matter, you are in my thrall. You should feel what I feel. You should take what I tell you. God I love this song…

9pm EDT Takeshi (PSN: JohanHin) will start things off with Tekken. Try to get in early before Yojimbo gets back and paralyses you with his magical smack-talking ability.

10pm EDT Yojimbo (PSN: k0wb0y-b33b0p) should be back in time to host everyone’s favorite war simulator: Call of Duty 4. Join in the fun as you and other dtoiders get massacred by twelve year olds with too much time on their hands.

11pm EDT I’ll be hosting Grand Theft Auto 4 for your sociopathic pleasure. Whether we’re playing New Car Jack City, Cops & Crooks, or just causing chaos in Free Mode there’s a very likely chance that a lot of explosives will be involved.

As usual I’ll be partaking in some Rock Band while everyone else is on COD4. I’ll be on drums so any plastic guitar players/bassists or shower singers are welcome to join me.

There you have it, the plan for tonight. Well, at least it’s the plan that I’ve laid out before you. I’m sure you’ll all come up with better ways to spend your time, like playing Metal Gear Solid 4 until you start seeing cardboard boxes move out of the corner of your eye.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I'll be playing MGS4 from the time I get home, until I get sleepy. Because it told me that I shouldn't play it if I am sleepy.

I am going to ignore the warning MGS 4 said about the game being a Playstation 3 exclusive, and I'm putting it in my Xbox 360.

Take that Konami!!!

Damn, I should buy Tekken so I can get my ass whooped, but also that money is MGS4. Sonofabitch!

VF5 is 20 bucks brand new at Gamestop. I don't know if it's good or not but hey...thought I'd share.

@Kryptinite

I've heard it's good, but it doesn't have online play on the PS3. I'm not really a fan of fighting games so I can really speak for it's quality but Yojimbo really likes it for what it's worth.

@shipero

No online!!! Damn that, I thought it had online. Nevermind, not buying it.

VF5 is great but its very technical. If youve got the time to invest in learning all the combos its pretty rewarding but no online kind of kills replay value if you dont know anyone whos good at the game. The 360 version has online but idk, something about the 360s controller and fighting games just doesnt work for me.

JACK of No Trades says:
(# 7) on 06/13/2008 14:29

Is there still tons of people playing Tekken online? I might just wait for SC4.

Hey Shipero, I'd love to play but the only games I own are Unreal Tournament 3 and MGS4. Send me a friend request will you?

psn : snaileb

I'm going to try Tekken one last time before I give up on it, at least for FNF. Maybe I'll send some individual challenges and hope for the best. I don't know what it is, the matches I watch seem to be fine, but it's laggy as hell when I actually play. Look, internet, I don't need your help losing.

Hit me up for COD4 though. I'll try my best to keep my hands of Metal Gear. It will be difficult.

If I'm not sleeping I will be up for Tekken and RockBand.

I won’t be around yet again, sadly. *sigh*

Sorry for the double post...

But that is an awesome video. My friend showed it to me, and I was really underwhelmed until he explained the concept behind it (or rather, what was going on in the video, because it’s subtle enough that you might miss it on your first viewing) — and then I was blown away.

Hi all, im up for some rockband tonight ... just need to know what the psn ID of the host is so I can add it to my friends list...
Oh and for Kryptinite, VF5 is an awesome fighting game for 20$
soooo much depth in there, it's insane. It a fighting game that you will learn to play for years to come. So do like me grab a couple of friends girls and guys and let them each take one character and learn the shit out of that character, very intense party game I can tell ya... so much fun. Practice is the key in VF, cause VF5-R will have online play and it will be out soon for ps3

Beaudin says:
(# 19) on 06/13/2008 17:22

yeah, fuck virtua fighter, we could have gotten an online mode years ago released thru psn like tekken but no, 360 got it and now we have to pay....again? no, not me, soul caliber and tekken are the greatest fighting games ever! besides primal rage and world heroes. and samuria showdown. and that beast transforming one. and MK2. and street fighter 3 ex. and wtf....beast transforming one?

Beaudin says:
(# 23) on 06/13/2008 18:37

@QRAZE
you look like the type of person who likes fantasy fighting game. I am more of a sim guy "hard game to get into and harder to master" ex: Gran turismo for racing and VF for fighting.
peace

Good for GTA4...

Qraze says:
(# 26) on 06/13/2008 21:54

well in all honesty beaudin, i love fighting games as long as their realistic, no new mortal kombats or street fighters for me. tekken and soul caliber are pretty realistic but not in a sim type way like VF is. tekken online is really fun. there are over the top moves but no fncking stupid projectiles except devil jin's eye blast. i love me some gran turismo but won't get this new one due to it not being gran turismo but a giant glorified gran turismo online beta. no sim mode =no buy! and every fighting game has over the top moves hence knocking someone 20 feet into the air like kage does and yoshimitsu.
