xfire

This is a quick post. I *highly* suggest everyone who games to pick up xfire at http://www.xfire.com/ ... when it first came out, it was pretty useless. It seems to have grown a lot since Gryph first sent me the link a few years ago! There are a number of us THZ*ers on it, and the brilliant thing is that if you add one member, you get all of their friends as well (in a seperate tab). It *really* helps in co-ordinating gaming servers (especially for games like RO, Battlefield 2, CS, etc).

Ya, it is really important to use in such games such as Battlefield 2 where the dumb ass developers have given absolutely no way for you to find friends in game.

There is an AllSeeingEye (owned by Yahoo now bleh) and GameSpy (meh GameSpy) type of application called QTracker (http://www.qtracker.com), it is really nice and is Free/Donateware. You don't have to register, but I plan to once functional BF2 support is added soon.
