Quantcast



The New Friday.Night.Fights has been revealed!  We've launched the beta are currently testing a few games on the platform, beginning with in-browser games like Quake Live and Cosmic Cannon.  More games will be added later this year as we get our groove on. Here's the skinny:

Intel & Destructoid give Bad-Ass Hardware to Bad-Ass Gamers

Intel, which powers the best hardware on the planet, and Destructoid, home to the most rabid gaming community on the Web, have come together to create Friday.Night.Fights. - An interactive online arena where gamers can coordinate head-to-head matches in an all-out brawl for prizes and bragging rights as they workk their way up to dominate the leaderboards.

Three 6-week Tournaments with multiple gauntlets will soon commence featuring popular games like Call of Duty 4, CounterStrike, Unreal Tournament, as well as web-based games provided by Nitrome Limited. Casual players can also get in the ring, as over 20 participation prizes will be awarded just for giving it your best.

Best of all: There's no entry fee, so simply sharpen your wits and tighten your skills and get in the ring. It's going to be a hot summer, fall and holiday season!  What’s at stake? You’re precious ego, of course, but also $80,000 in Core i7 Extreme Processor-powered computers, games, and other prizes with top gear manufacture’s like CyberPower PC, Vigor, Falcon Northwest, iBuyPower, Velocity Micro and MAINGEAR.

The tournament begins July 3rd, so get practicing and join us at: http://FNF.destructoid.com

I see that Niero is learning from Kojima the art of sadistic teasing, very well done Niero.

Also, if the numbers are interpreted to be the winnings and time period, I assume this is basically NA time zones only?

Is this going to be about that time you met Batman, and you thought he was a monster or a robot with an arm that turned into a cool grappling hook, but it turned out he was actually a bishounen?

A Quake Live tournament with $48,000 in cash and prizes, but that's too obvious. I wonder what the hell the numbers mean.
