Friday Night Fights: Ch-ch-changes edition

Apologies for coming at you with the lateness!

As they say, better late than never, right? Hopefully you’ve already noticed this, but if not, no biggie: the meetup and play/tournament section of Destructoid has undergone quite the redesign.

While not one-hundred percent complete just yet, it’s off to a great start thanks to our caring robot bossman. You should find it easier to navigate as well as generally more inviting than the previous layout. Give it a spin by playing Street Fighter IV and hey, you could come out with a swanky new gaming PC.

Quick guide to FNF for new players: Each week, a bunch of Destructoid readers and usually an editor or two get together to play some videogames online. Fun times!

The planning for FNF takes place in the forums, where Dtoiders 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 which you are currently reading.

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 plz” message will be fine.

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.
