Longtime community member dyslixec, or as he now goes by, WastelandTraveler, has spearheadedthe movement to bring PC gamingback into Friday Night Fights in a huge way. For that, I am eternally grateful.
If I have ever come off as insincere because of how hands off I tend to be with the planning of these weekly online get-togethers, I apologize. FNF started off as an idea from the community, and I’ve always wanted to move forward with that same sentiment in mind.
For the community, by the community. That’s how I want it to be. Always have. I’m simply the guy who embraces and helps to promote it.
And now that you’ve learned a little Destructoid history, let’s play some games! Well, you can play some games. I can’t — darn broken Xbox! Hamza says he’ll be doing it upModern Warfare 2-style, so at least there’s one editor who will be in attendance.

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 placein 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 thecommunity blogssection 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.
