Xfire - A Gamer's Messenger Program
 
Xfire

I found this today while I was on FileShack getting some patches and maps. Its a instant messenger that lets you know where your buddies are in a game. It shows
Buddy Name
Game being Played
Map
Ping
(players/Capacity)

On top of that 'away' messages to state if you're up to playing a game, you can choose the type. It also claims that it won't screw your game over if you get Msg'd while gaming. Of course, I don't know about that last one yet, as I have no one on my list. Its about half a meg and its free. Anyone care to try it out?

On top of this, you can also select to JOIN that game. Thats a nice feature. Also if its the case of Diablo or an MMO.. I'm not so sure you can join the server.. but it still will alert you that they are running it, and I'm joining the game would at the very least load the program for ya.

I tried this, and didn't like it that much. I perfer DeadAIM over it. But, this is free. Thanks for the info!

Anyone else?

I have it but it doesn't seem that good. Very unpolished and I often have troubles connecting to the server but that may be a problem on my end. I prefer ASE.

Tried it, works for finding my buddies, but none of us can ever remember to sign on there before we start playing games!

Seems cool, though a little obnoxious.

I'll give it a few days. Reminds me of the early ICQ days.
