Friday Night Fights: Shmup edition photo

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.

How to meet up with Dtoiders for Super Smash Bros. Brawl:

The Ventrilo way: download and install Vent. Then use the following info to log onto Dtoid's server:

• IP/Hostname: VOICE-VA2.BRANZONE.COM

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.

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.
