August is upon us, and that means another Freezer Bowl Friday schedule!

Things are a little less modification heavy this month as we try out some tried-and-true classics. We kick things off by trying the Hyperfighting mod made by Messatsu, which advertises some fun changes to the base movement and plenty of weapon tweaks. Skulltag makes an appearance in our second week before Scorched Earth—this time with custom weapons! To end things, we'll try out Weapon Master to see who can master single weapon matches!

I am aware the 29th is a Friday this month. If we decide to host another one that day, I'll make an appendix to this schedule!

Hope to see you there!

Just going to put this out there pre-emptively before anyone decides to post something stupid: behave yourselves.

Interesting mod. Does it do replacements by different shades and skintones, or does it just look for one color/range and replace it with one color?

Greetings all—it's the July edition of Freezer Bowl Fridays! Thankfully, no events were missed this time with the holiday last weekend. I hope to get these out on a more timely manner going forward! (We'll see how that goes...)

This month, we'll be taking a look at Mighty Deathmatch Burst, a new classes mod which has seen some play in recent months—and on the other end of the spectrum is Screw Scramble, a mod of the past making its grand return! We polish off the month with some rootin', tootin', Texan-Style shootin' in Gunslingers. Hope to see you all there!

Woof, sorry for the delay on this one. Here is the schedule for June's Freezer Bowl Fridays, with one coming up tomorrow! Apologies to all those who missed out on the Saxton one. Even if these schedules don't come out on time, joining our Discord is a good way to make sure you don't miss out on events like these!

Superbosses is fairly consistent theme of this month, with both Saxton and Terminator featuring supercharged players going up against other average Joes. We also feature some fun mods from yesteryear in Cutmanmike's classic Ghouls Vs. Humans in 8BDM form and Laggy Blazko's Instagib Springfield mod. Hope to see you all there!

Going to try something different this time (because I hate seeing a ton of threads for the same thing over and over lol) — I'm gonna put all Freezer Bowl news in this thread and post any schedules to the blog. Should work out the way I hope!

This month features quite a few LMS modes this time around. Given it's a popular game mode, that should come as no surprise. We also have a very important event for Memorial Day Weekend to commemorate one of 8-Bit Deathmatch's finest fights. Hope to see you there!

Freezer Bowl Fridays

Welcome to Freezer Bowl Fridays!

This project is a collaboration between Trillster and myself to generate a community run gaming night in 8-Bit Deathmatch! Each week on Friday nights, we'll select a game mode or mod to host and run a server with it. If you've been wanting to scratch your itch for vanilla, have seen a cool mod you want to play with others, or even if you're brand-new to the game, this is the perfect opportunity to sit down, relax, and join the fun!

Each month, I'll put up a thread with a schedule showcasing what will be hosted each Friday. Trillster will make event threads in 8BDM's Discord server corresponding to each week.

Current Schedule: August 2025



Previous Schedules

Ring Man getting a serious glow up is very much appreciated- it's always been a bit of a funky map in the game, and usually not in a good way. This makes it look so much better, aesthetically and layout-wise. And the props are top notch!

Can't wait to see what else gets revealed!

Ah, I get you. Admittedly, these schedules are supposed to give a general idea of what the mod or gamemode is. I'm not always going to aim for 100% mod/game accuracy- after all, Search Snake isn't on MM4DUS- especially if I have a funny idea in mind for it. Frankly, putting Hard Man in a fusion dance pose was too good to pass on. (Plus it's a reference to one of 8BDM's most infamous weapon combos in vanilla back in ye olde version 1 days!)

These are just little sprite comics I put together in my free time that I hope get a laugh out of people. Don't take them too seriously!

What does this mean?
