Friday Night Fights is a weekly gathering of Dtoiders to just play games with one another.
A good number of Dtoiders are heading out to PAX next week so it will pretty much be a ghost town as far as Friday Night Fights goes. There will be people that will still want to play next week of course so be sure to pay attention to the Friday Night Fights thread over on the Forums for next week.
There's no new game with awesome multiplayer modes this week so everyone is just playing their regulars. Hit the break to find out what everyone is playing on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 tonight.
Quick guide to FNF for new players: Each week, a bunch of Destructoid readers and usually an editor or two get together to play some videogames online. Fun times!
The planning for FNF takes place in the forums, where Dtoiders volunteer to host by posting their information (gamertag, time to meet up, game, etc.) in the forum post corresponding to the system they're interested in playing on.
Then, every Friday, reminder posts for those who don't read the forums regularly go up in the community blogs section all thanks to a dedicated group of cool individuals. And for everyone who wants their info all in one place, they have got my weekly recap posts which you are currently reading.
Now that you're here, just scan the list below and find a game you want to play. All that's left to do after that is to join the match by contacting the host below using any means necessary. For Wii, you might have to be a little creative, but for 360/PS3 a simple "invite plz" message will be fine.
If you want to get your gaming done later on in the evening, scroll on down past this section, otherwise hit up the following European hosts/early FNFers for a good time.

Sorry to ruin your perception of Destructoid's Awesomeness, but that image is from FilmDrunk.com

Same base, yes. Not the same image.
The base is the important part. The rest is just added to (and not improving) the awesomeness of the original image. Most of the posters probably wouldn't tell you that image is awesome because of the monster in the bottom right or the dude in the bottom left. The awesome part is Eagle Head Gemma Atkinson detonating a bomb that forms into the image of the Evil Eye Gesture (AKA Metal Hand).
On a more personal note, I think Destructoid just ruined the awesome of the original image. All they added is clutter that makes the image feel... well, cluttered.
