Xfire

I don't know if anybody has heard of this IM (yes, another IM to dl to your PC), but this one is pretty cool. It shows what your Friends are playing, and if they are playing online game that you are able to jump into, there is an icon that you can click that send you straight to their game.

IMO, it's a lot easier to do that, then say remembering the Server # of the game they are playing.

If anybody dl this, tell me what they think of it.

It can be found here:

Xfire

Sounds nice, would be cool if it had good voice support???

Isn't Xfire made by that Fatal1ty person? Can't remember if it was him or not.

But it looks good. Sometime I'll check it out if I get friends from other games that use Xfire.

Voice Support? I couldn't see why I would use that. I dl a program called something like "Skyline", where its online phone. The whole "Free" long distance thing. Haven't even used the thing. When it comes to interent, I use my fingers to much. It might be just me, but I don't see a reason to have voice support.

Well I mean for online games... to communicate while playing???

BTW Hey CamFu, remember me, Angrist?

yea, i wouldnt be suprised to see it have voice support for that reason in a version soon.

theres already many that do it. and this one would have an advantage being that its already getting support by the gaming communities.

people use the voice programs for games all the time. expecially clan games.
