Also, GameSpy arcade. My parents had McAfee blocking the internet, because the literal first thing I did was save porn to “My Pictures” directory. But it only blocked the browsers. So I used the built in web browser in GameSpy to download Star Wars BF2 mods, amongst other things
God that brings back memories. I mainly used it for Halo CE back on Windows XP still in like 09-10. Joined a clan through Xfire that I played with a bunch. Used it a little for Minecraft too! Those days on CE were the best.
I remember it being a thing I didn’t use. It was like a voice chat/messenger thing with a built in game browser like GameSpy, right? I used TeamSpeak and some other tool mostly over xFire. I didn’t know anyone else who used xFire so it was kinda useless to me. A lot of communication apps in the late 90’s/early-mid 2000’s had that unfortunate downfall for me. No point in using something nobody I would talk to uses 🤷🏻♂️

Man I’d forgotten about this.
This and vent were the first things I loaded when gaming (along with frapps).

I used to love this. I remember it getting very buggy though towards the end. I think this turned into raptor later on or something like that.
Remember installing it from my Medal of Honor disk. Was it Pacific Assault? I don’t remember.

I think most people used it to find servers to play on. I know that’s what I used it for.
GameSpy man. Ftw.
Xfire to Discord: I am your Father
Grandfather? Wasnt Mumble the in-between?
ventrilo: am I a joke to you
TeamSpeak ftw
Oh yea xfire was the software to have. I streamed myself doing full playthrough of bioshock and remember even getting quite a few viewers. Good times.
Didn’t they have custom skins because I remember messing around with that and rocking some cool skins…?
This was the best way to game with and chat with friends. I miss those days.
Wow this brought back memories of making bank in clan COD tourneys(=USA=). It was too easy back then, now gamers practice 6 hours a day.
A blast from the past. Totally forgot about it existing until this post.
