GameSpot's 73rd Game Night will be held Tuesday, May 12th from 4-8pm PT. Staff will be dropping by any time between 4-6:30pm PT, but may stay until 8pm. We'll be playing Killzone 2 on the PlayStation 3.

1. How do I get in on the action?
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.

1A. 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.

2. Remind me-why we are doing this again?
For the fun of it! A lot of people want to play games that include GameSpot employees and other members of the community.

3. What mode will we be playing?
We'll know more about what gamemodes we'll be playing on the night of the event. Stop by the chat to say what modes you are willing to play. 

4. Why this game? Why not another one?
Many of you requested this game. Here is your chance to participate and represent the PS3 community!

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

6. What GameSpot folks will I be playing with?

Chris Watters and Kevin VanOrd.  We may need some other people to host matches as well. 

7. Who are the game hosts?

Drop by the chatroom for host names

8. What else do I need to know?

- Join Chat! We'll be opening the GameSpot tournament chat room at least a half an hour to an hour before we're scheduled to play. To enter it, just go to this link: http://www.gamespot.com/chat/chat.php?room=GameSpot_Tournament. That way you can get information from GameSpot staff and chat with your buddies before the game starts.

- Be nice! Any disorderly behavior disqualifies you from participation and may earn you a moderation, suspension, or permanent ban. Please refrain from using harassing, negative, or profane language in either the Tournament chat or the game instance.

- Don't cheat. No cheats or hacks of any kind are to be used. Taking advantage of known exploits in the game is also considered cheating. Doing any of that is considered against the spirit of the event, and if you are found to be cheating, you will be asked not to join future game nights.

9. What about bad language?
Try to keep it to a minimum. If someone lets a swear or two slip in chat, we won't have a fit or anything. Sometimes we may slip too. As long as you aren't flaming others you should be fine.

10. 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.

11. What's this week's bounty requirement?
The non-scientific method: the player(s) GameSpot staff feels kicked their asses most.

12. 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 admins' call.... yep, truly is.

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

14. Do I get an emblem for playing?
The only emblem goes to the bounty winner(s). It's next to impossible for us to keep up with who enters the server and who doesn't. Besides, isn't gloating over GameSpot Staff a great reward?

15. Anything else I need to consider?
Depending on the console and game, we may also be using voice chat. Be sure to have your microphone handy!

16. What's with the orange text?
We may update the orange text again so check back for updates.

17. Where should I report my game night experience?
You can record, take screenshots and post your reactions in this thread. Someone may use the information and post it in the game night report thread that will be created after game night is over.

Depending on the turnout it will likely be a bit of old and new. If you've got the newer maps then you should easily be able to group off with others who have it and play. Otherwise it'll likely be whatever the most people can play.

Oh HECK YES!! I absolutely love Killzone 2 multiplayer so I will definitely be making time for this. I'll be rocking a headset as well, so I can help out anyone who doesn't have much experience with the game. You may get more information that you actually wanted because I am so enthusiastic about it, but I will refrain from asking you to address me as Lieutenant Colonel (no promises if I rank up to Colonel).

My PSN ID is Riverdogs14. If you friend me, please include a quick text note indicating it is for K2 Game Night.

Can't wait!

Oh crap, I just realized I don't have a headset. Argh, I'm going to be the thing I hate being - an online gamer with no mic. And I'll be there trying to harass the Lieutenant Colonel.

He's pretty confident about his skills in this game.  Think I'm going to bring in my digital camera for some real life action shots of him and Kevin.
