Last night, I partook in some St. Patrick’s day festivities, but the real highlight came at the end of the night, where I watched Breakin’ on Netflix with a couple of Dtoiders. It’s an amazingly bad movie with crazy dancing that is the greatest end to any night.
Besides that, this week was Destructoid’s birthday! How did you celebrate? I celebrated by putting up a heartfelt c-blog about my start on the site. You should check it out! Anyway, another great way to celebrate would be to get involved in Friday Night Fights! FNFs are a long-standing tradition here on Destructoid, where you can join your fellow community members in some fun online games.
This week, we are trying something new. As usual, a list of community members and the games they are playing can be found below, but we are also opening a chat room as part of Dtoid chat where you can organize your own FNFs. So try it out!
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.
