On the off chance you haven't seen this utterly relevant, super rad rap video that summarizes the downfall of Detroit as portrayed in the real-life documentary RoboCop, you are welcome. I caught the film on IFC last night, and was reminded of the greatest quote of all time: "b*tches, leave!"
Naturally, I then remembered the above rap. Since we haven't quite hit the period of nothing but solid game releases, it's not like I had anything better to share this week. Problem is, Joseph was trying to talk me into posting the eternally classic "How is babby formed?" video instead. Fisticuffs ensued.
Clearly I won, because Joseph is nothing but a big "babby" who can't "frigth back."
New to FNF? Read this: Each week, a bunch of Destructoid readers and usually an editor or two get together to play some videogames online. Basically, this is what Friday Night Fights are all about.
The planning for FNF takes place in the forums, where community members 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 to look forward to between 4:30 - 5:30 PM EST.
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 me" message will be fine.
The names on the left are our Destructoid handles, while the ones on the right are our online handles (PSN IDs, for example). Don't see a game you want to play? Feel free to post a comment offering to take up hosting duties yourself.

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

If we have enough people we will be doing private matches, so if you're a bitch who only plays for XP and not for fun, then don't join our match. If the opposite, come on in! Also, shenanigans hosted by me will be ceasing around 11:35 EST.
Robocop! Outstanding classic. It was one of the first realistic ultra violent, gory movies I ever saw, years back, as a kid. Awesome special effects, terrific acting and cool story. I love quoting this movie!
"Come quietly or there will be... trouble."
"Dead or alive, you're coming with me."
"I'd buy that for a dollar!"
The sequel was decent, but avoid the third, please.
to this day i still wanted some form of awesome robocop game. now would be a good time.
and just now doing a gamefaqs search, i found out there was a ps2 robocop game?! but only in Japan and Europe.
and one for xbox apparently. which was out in the US.
has anyone played these before? im kinda surprised i never heard of them.
You know, I always prefered Robocop 2 to the original. I have no idea why either. Robocop 3 is still one of the worst movies I have ever endured though.
