Its Friday, and I’m getting down on Friday. Even thought I don’t need a bowl of cereal, and I am pretty decisive about which seat I prefer sitting in (answer: the back), I can’t help but be entranced by the Rebecca Black phenomenon. It’s crazy how a simple song can become so viral, hitting 45 million views last I checked. As for the origin of this post’s header image and title, you need look no further than this dubbed version of the video here. It had me laughing for a solid 5 minutes, but make sure you watch the original first!
Anyway, videogames! Seeing as it IS Friday, it’s time for Destructoid’s Friday Night Fights! Every week, Dtoid community members pull together to play games with each other online. Check out the list of games and community guests below and join in the Friday Night Fights chat here on the front page to organize more games!
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.
