The Internet has been ablaze with Grand Theft Auto IV "news" this week, and it's driving me absolutely insane. Sure, it was nice hearing tidbits about the game before it was released, but can everyone shut up about it already and just play the damn game?
If any of you share my frustration, I urge you to jump online tonight with the Friday Night Fights crew for some good old-fashioned simulated bloodshed to release all of that stress you've built up during this week.
Oh, and for those of you who can't remember when FNF kicks off, it generally starts at around 10:00 p.m. EST, although it varies for some games (check after the break for more specific times).

Additionally, Pedro (
MGO ID = Pedro) will be hosting tonight. Here's how to join his match: "go to Lobby Select, then Free Battle, then pick EVA for the server, then go to Join Game, and finally find the Destructoid game. The password will be
dtoid."
Mini-guide for meeting up with Dtoiders for Super Smash Bros. Brawl:
The IRC way: head on over to this Web site (or start up your own IRC client) and type "/join #dtoid-brawl" without the quotation marks.
The Ventrilo way: download and install Vent. Then use the following info to log onto Dtoid's server:
• IP/Hostname: VOICE-VA2.BRANZONE.COM
• Port: 3790
• Password: None
Once you're in, you'll need to use the password "ftw" to access the Social Lounge.
The 360 way: use your Xbox 360 to chat with people on your friends list. Steam or IM are good alternatives too.
