Friday Night Fights: Quake Live winners announced! photo

It's been a fierce couple of weeks for our six Quake Live FNF tournament finalists, but the results are in. Coming in at first, second, and third place respectively are Weird, Gandhi, and Torzelan. These fine gentlemen are all walking away with a high-end gaming PC from Cyberpower for their efforts. Congrats, guys, and stay tuned for footage of the matches.

Didn't win any sweet loot? Don't fret. We are still handing out $8,300 in Maingear PCs to Call of Duty 4 players of all skill levels. Remember, there's only one week left until the season ends, so get out there and start gaining some wins!

In related news, Fat Princess is out now, and I have been hearing nothing but good things. As expected, there will be plenty of Dtoiders playing that as well as a slew of other games. Hit the break to see what else we'll be doing 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.

Thanks for the tournament people, it was a lot of fun! Considering making a little movie of my own too since I have recordings of all my games. Might take a bit though. Is there anywhere I can get like "official destructoid graphics" to include in it to promote the site? .psd's, .ai's, videoclips... Let me know!

Good luck to everyone in the CoD4 tournament, I'm taking a break heh. Was rough juggling this and playing through Secret of Mana 2 + Seiken Densetsu 3 with a couple of friends coming over every single night :) So much fun though.

Gandhi and Weird kicked my ass so hard. I really wish I had stuck with the game and played as much as they have over the years. It sure would have paid off. I'll get my chance again some other time. I'll keep practicing every day that I get a chance and challenge them again one day.

It was very entertaining seeing you guys kill each other virtually.

That was pretty amazing. Hopefully I'll have a better chance in the COD4 tourney.
