Friday Night Fights: White knight edition

Before you ask what Harry Ellis has to do with anything, let me preemptively ask you — yes, you, Mr. Internet fancy pants — what doesn’t he have to do with everything? Hey babe, he negotiates million dollar deals for breakfast. Don’t think he can’t handle you too.

And on that note, we return (well, I return) to your regularly scheduled Friday Night Fights. The combined force of the holidays and some personal stuff has put me out of commission these last few weeks, but it’s all good now. You guys kept it moving in my absence. What else is new? Y’all rock

You know the drill by now. Click through to see who’s hosting what, and grace us with your presence later tonight, if you could.

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.
