I can’t believe its April already! This year is going by so fast, it’s insane.
As for the title of this post, it has nothing to do with this week’s games. There was an 8bitSF concert last night which had The Glowing Stars, Peelander Z, and Anamanaguchi performing. While most of my friends and members of the DtoidSF community were there, I was stuck at work. I did have a chance to check out a live stream of the concert, however. Peelander Z was described in the live chat as “the first sentient beings made purely of cocaine”. From what I saw, I’d have to agree.
With that said, it’s time for Destructoid’s Friday Night Fights once again! Every week the Dtoid community gets together for the long standing tradition of FNF’s as we play all the best multiplayer games online. This week, both the Early EU group and the PS3 group are checking out the SOCOM 4 beta while the 360 crew is bringing back X-Men Arcade! Make sure to join in on this and all other games. A list of the community hosts and the games that are scheduled for this week are after the jump!
If you want to start your own FNF group today, just write in the comments below or stop by in the chatroom!
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.
