Friday Night Fights has got some stiff competition for your attention this week; I can feel it already. There’s Star Trek, of course, as well as school, which seems to be coming to an end for many of you, and that means final exams. Yuck.
I recommend everyone do what I always do and follow this trusty procrastination flowchart. Studying? Pfft, you can put that off for another night. Friends trying to drag you to a movie? Fake your own death using killer beavers and a mannequin so they stop bugging you for once.
So, what do you say? Videogames: shall we play them?
Quick guide to Friday Night Fights for fresh meat: Each week, a bunch of Destructoid readers and usually an editor or two get together to play some videogames online. Simple enough.
The planning for FNF takes place in the forums, where Dtoiders volunteer to host by dropping their information (gamertag, time, 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 pay attention to the forums (the scallywags) go up in the community blogs section. And for those who are too lazy to read the blogs, they have got my weekly recap posts which bring all of the FNF-related details into one unified place.
From there, all you need to do is shoot a quick message over to one of the hosts listed below asking for an invite, or simply force your way into the room. Whatever works.
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.
