Update: Well, this is no fun. It seems that Wi-Fi is down right now. If you want, you can still join us in the chat for some fun conversation (and a game, if the servers get back up). Hopefully that won't take too long.
Update 2: Well, this is lame. The servers are still down and we have no idea how long it will be until they are back online. We would like to thank all the folks that showed up looking to game with us. We'll see you next week, where the servers will be working, hopefully!
Wait, what is this? Why, there's a video in a Game Night post?
Well, after last week's play session,
Okay, done? Good. Yes, it was kind of long, but we wanted to cram as much game footage in as possible. With Mario Kart Wii having just released this week, you can bet that many will be trying to rock that tonight. So, if you picked it up, join us. If the video tickled your fancy and you want to know more, then hit up this page here.
And, finally, make sure you're back here at 7pm ET tonight. It's then that a link to the Game Night chat will be up and you can get in on the action. Oh, and if you read us through your Wii, no worries: the chat is compatible with the system.

so it looks like, in SSBB, the charging projectiles are the big thing now?
:)
I haven't played enough to NOT suck yet, but maybe i'll try to join one of these game nights some time.
...then again, Thursdays are bad for me. :(

Actually, that's just me (and the person playing as Lucario, I guess). I find there's no greater feeling than catching someone in the face with a gigantic charged shot.

Agreed, huzzah for Crystal Castles (who put on an amazing live show).

Wow, I was pretty horrible in the SSBB videos. Still very fun all around. I just picked up Mario Kart Wii yesterday, so hopefully we can get a few races going as well.

Oh, and I'm sorry if the MOH2 section came off as "Hey, I'm Dave, I rock, watch me kill a bunch of dudes," but some I just couldn't resist putting in. Like the BAR section. I totally lit that guy up in a doorway.
:D

Holy christ, I love ruining player's charge-ups. There was way too much space between the guys when they were getting all souped up. JUMP IN THERE and stop that crap.
Hahah, awesome stuff, though. The Crystal Castles thing freaked me out, too. Dig that much.

It's sorta like stopping a basketball when someone is about to dunk it. Or at least that's what my jock friends in school would say... I don't play sports. STOP THE CHARGE UP!

I enjoy stock more and, if my memory serves correctly, I was the host of the room. Others like to play it in different ways, so I'm sure if you show up, you'll have a good time.

I'm sure I would! But I'm not sure if I can make it. In brawl I'm OK, but a friend of mine has literally not played any game but Brawl since it came out! I can't help but get pwned around him. Maybe he'll join... If anyone wants to battle me, I am igorponweed on the goozex forums (I'm really lazy when it comes to adding codes). :)

I live in Hawaii right now... but I have a good connection, with a LAN adapter. In SSBB matches, there may be a bit of button lag. Will that be a problem? Or is this problem already present?
I want to join one of these game night sessions.

Bah, I can take them all in SSBB =) Plus I really like the fact it's stock and no items... I hate items, takes away from real fighting.. but meh.. I'll hopefully join sometime soon.

So this is the video you were talking about...
Hinkle, you rule!
Though you didn't add footage of me ( :P ), I killed Gumbykid at 1:14 in the MoH H2 section. :D
Can't wait to race! Though with the Tournament going on for MKWii, I'm afraid either my Wi-Fi is being gay or if too many people are on.(Ive been stopped from getting on Wi-Fi a bunch)

I'm almost close to maxing out the 30 friend limit, though, around 8-9 of those people are still blanked out.

So, Brawl actually works great for you guys on times when the server is up?
Anytime I try to play online it is unplayable because of lag. Sucks because Brawl is only good for multiplayer and I have no one locally to play with.
