Friday Night Fights: Viva la Vita

The PlayStation Vita has finally landed in the hands of our esteemed editors and the verdict is unanimous: this thing’s a goddamn beast! Granted, as with all new devices, there are a few nagging issues, but overall the consensus has been that the Vita is a gorgeous, hardcore handheld with a very bright future. Hooray for gamers!

Of course, most of you probably won’t have a chance to buy yours until next week, but that didn’t stop Metal Mark from getting the jump on things and hosting Dtoid’s first Vita FNF! So hit the jump now to see what he (and everyone else!) is playing!

New to FNF? Read this! Each week, a bunch of us Dtoiders get together to play videogames online! It’s a 100% community-run event, so feel free to join in or even host something yourself!

The planning for FNF starts in the forums, where community members volunteer to host matches and post their pertinent details (game, time, Gamertag, etc.). Then, every Friday, reminder posts go up in the community blogs followed by a recap post here on the front page for last-minute planning.

To join in, simply send a friend request to the match host! (Don’t forget to say you’re from Dtoid!) If you’d rather host something yourself, sound off in the comments section below!

We hope to see you online!
