Fat Princess & MotorStorm: Pacific Rift  (PS3)
August 25th starting at 4pm PT

 

 

1. How do I get in on the action?

First thing to do is make sure you have at least one of the games.

It is important to join the chat room so staff and GameSpotters can communicate with all of you. If you cannot remain in chat, exit and return once you want to play another match. We'll open the chatroom between 3 and 3:30pm PT on the day of game night.

2. I am from another country and timezone other than California time (Pacific Time). What time is that for me?
http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc. If you want to be extra tech savvy and you use Firefox, download the foxclocks application to monitor your timezone versus other timezones.

3. What mode will we be playing?
We're pretty easy going about what we'll be playing so why not dabble in both games with a variety of modes.

4. Why TWO games? Why not some other ones?
We want to remain in everyone's budget so if you can't afford buying Fat Princess, maybe you have MotorStorm: Pacific Rift. Note that because there is hype centered around Fat Princess, you should definitely consider gathering all of your friends to join in on the action that night. 

5. Can I drop by late to participate in game night?
Of course! Why not?

6. What GameSpot folks will I be playing with?

Justin wants to get his game on in Fat Princess. Jody wil dabble in both at different times. Tom McShea, Kevin Vanord and Chris Watters expressed intrested in playing Fat Princess a while back. Let's see if they join in on the fun!

7. You mentioned something about "bounties" in the Game Night FAQ. What is up with that?
Every week, a player that meets the bounty requirement will get to take part in a grudge match later in the year against other bounty hunters. That match will take place on a game that pretty much anyone can play, such as a free bowling game, or some other such frivolity. The winner of the Grudge Match will receive a special emblem in his or her profile. Other emblems may also be awarded to players based on performance, wins, or other criteria.

8. What's this week's bounty requirement?
The non-scientific method: the player GameSpot staff feels kicked their butts the most. We normally choose one MVP per game or platform. 

9. I am totally the best, and you know it. What if you give the emblem to some other dude, even if I know I am better?
It's the staff call on who becomes the MVP for the week.

10. So, do I have a good chance of kicking GameSpot butt?
Of course you do! There has got to be a game that we stink at.

12. Do I get an emblem for playing?
The only emblem goes to the bounty winner(s), which are listed on the game night feature page as MVP. It's next to impossible for staff to keep up with who enters the game or server and who doesn't. Besides, isn't gloating over GameSpot Staff a great reward?

13. Where should I report my game night experience?
You can post it here!

I am totally game for Fat Princess at 10pm et, might even be able to get on a little earlier, say around 9:30. And I think FP is cheaper than the new Motostorm, no? I can't see a retail disc being 15 already. Heh. Edit, just checked, Pacific Rift is 50 on gamestop.com while FP is only 15 on psn. Unless of course you're referring to the people who already bought the game. :)

I would love some Fatty P at 9 central.

Unless Arkham Asylum makes me lose track of time since that is the release date.

Wonder how being on the community chat will work since my pc is 2 rooms away from the ps3 lol.

Very disappointed with the low attendance, but Fat Princess is still a fun enough game to play even with only a few people.

Maybe we can do it again when the game has been out longer and more people have it.
