Dtoid Forums now support TapATalk and ForumRunner on your iOS/Android devices. Whoot.


While the games industry as a whole may still be in boring news mode, we have got some fantastic info to share, namely the forums are back in action and are now sexier than ever.

Even better yet, there's a newfangled Friday Night Fights section, which I hope everyone will make a habit of using to announce the games they will be hosting.

Ideally, this subsection of the forums should be used for sign-ups and anything related to FNF in general, although it's perfectly fine to continue making community blogs if that's more your style.

As for the video above, it's Half left's recap of last week's Euro FNF. Yup, this is the hotness you guys are missing out on by not getting your asses online.

[Thanks, blehman, craineum, Gibbo, Half left, ryu89, ScottyG, Shipero, and Zombutler]

The following hosts are European and will be playing by the time you read this. If you want to get your gaming done later on in the evening, scroll on down past this section, otherwise hit up the European crowd for a good time.

I'm a late addition, but I figured I'd cover all my bases in here, the cblogs, and forums.

I'll host Street Fighter HD, Castle Crashers, or Soulcalibur starting at 8pm on 360. My GT is ShinigamiBV.

Oh hay...

I'm here tonight actually, the GF has opted to go hang out with lesbians over me tonight for some reason... :P Ah well.

L4D for me!

I'm gonna try to get on Bleh's game if possible, if anyone wants to kill me, be a Boomer with stealth skills or a Hunter with some good reflexes.

I'm really sorry about the glitch-a-thon that was Street Fighter tonight on PS3. They need to get that game patched up and soon. It seems as though when I tried hosting and had a private room, it would only give me the one slot (even though I was choosing 5 open slots), and when I opened the room, we got Cpt. Akuma The Fireball Spammer. Plus other assorted fun with the difficult, secret code required to make voice chat work, freezing scoreboards, drops, etc.

Thanks to everybody who tried to hang in there throughout. ANd the games that we did have were awesome. We'll give it another go sometime in the future.

But damn am I ever frustrated now.
