Friday Night Fights: Shmup edition
Grim

Friday Night Fights: Shmup edition screenshot

As you all (hopefully) know, Ikaruga launched on Live Arcade this week. As such, we will be rockin' it co-op style for Friday Night Fights, so make sure you pair up with a buddy. Can you handle the heat? If not, no worries.

I apologize for a lack of front page FNF posts these last couple of weeks, but I've got a semi-good excuse: long vacation was long. No communication with the Internet world is good for relaxation, but bad for consistency.

PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii owners: prepare yourself for a night of solid gaming. Xbox 360 players: we're a tad bit short on hosts this week, so if you're up to it, let me know in the comments and I'll update the post accordingly.

1630-32043-360FNF2jpg-550x

  • Games:
  • Bomberman Live
  • Burnout Paradise
  • Call of Duty 4
  • Condemned 2: Bloodshot
  • Gears of War
  • Halo 3
  • Ikaruga
  • • Rainbow Six: Vegas 2
  • Rock Band / Guitar Hero III
  • Team Fortress 2

1630-32043-PS3FNF2jpg-550x

  • Games (more info):
  • Burnout Paradise
  • Call of Duty 4
  • Unreal Tournament 3
  • Warhawk
  • Hosts:

  • • Y0j1mb0 - k0wb0y-b33b0p (Call of Duty 4 @ 9:30 EST)
  • • Shipero - Shipero (Warhawk @ about 11:00 EST - password is TOID)

fnf wii2

How to meet 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.

  • Beyond FNF:
    ThurDSay - not Wii-related, but where else am I gonna stick it in? (hint: the pooper)

1630-32043-PCFNF2jpg-550x

  • Games (more info):
  • Team Fortress 2
    Server: Destructoid.com - TF2
    IP: 8.12.20.112:27015
    Password: alsococks
  • Agent MOO: Maximum Overdeath (free download)

there better be some MGO action when the beta is unleashed, if not, I'll be playing it every night until it closes. I play a lot of CoD4 too. So, uh, yeah.

I'll certainly be on, and probably on Call of Duty 4, but I don't ever get on until late, so I probably won't be a viable host.

Wait, somebody's hosting Mr. Driller? Does the online actually work now or are my hopes just being raised so they can be thrashed soon after?

If anyone can point me in the way of reliable instructions for setting up netplay sessions of Twinkle Star Sprites, I'd be more than happy to host that.

Dunno what I'm doing ALL night, but I'll be playing Gears of War, Halo 3, and Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.
Gears will be ranked (duh). Halo 3 will be customs and MLG (NEW MAPS REQUIRED). RS6V2, ranked TDeathmatch..If I'm on, just lemme know you wanna play, and what game. I'll get back to you :)

What happened to the Toid FNF COD4 Tournament that was supposed to go down last night? I never got an invite to play, actually, never got an invite to play all night.

Seemed like nobody was on.
