    used to use xfire when i played cod:UO on the pc..Was handy for finding out where your friends were playing and allowed you to jump into the server with them

    I haven't used any of those things in years - pretty much all the multiplayer PC games I play are on Steam and that has its own friends system now, so I use that.

    Steam and XFire.

    IRC maybe.

    Used Gamespy a few years ago, it's cancer.

    I remember that from back in the day. Good times.

    I might give xfire a try just cause it can list all my games. Just have to 'adjust' the ones looking for a disc to be inserted. I own them but just to lazy to change discs
