The List

buckshotenema = Addicted to Morphine
joemah = rs6
zombieloffe = ZombieLoffe
cbmoneyshot = MoneyShot
laccolith = Quaver
FrenchandToasted = French Toast
rival02 = Rival


I was just complaining to Blitz about how I wish I could play BF2 with a bunch of people I knew and trusted because I was sick of jumping into the gunner seat and having the pilot promptly fly the chopper into the ocean...

So I realized I have Xfire and maybe some of you guys do too. If we used it to meet up and play games with each other maybe we could finally live out our fantasy of landing on the roof of the hotel in Gulf of Oman with a transport chopper and setting up shop... as a snarkpit squad.

If you have Xfire and this sounds like a good idea to you, my name is buckshotenema and you should add me, so we can play a game or two together. This is by no means limited to just BF2. The games I've been playing the most recently are (in this order) CS:S, BF2, WoW.

Others can use this to connect for HL2:DM and other popular games. I just thought we needed some place to compile a list of Xfire usernames to get the snarkpit crew gaming together. I can edit this post later to include all the names as you guys post them.

At the risk of sounding like an advertiser: if you don't have Xfire, maybe you should check it out. www.xfire.com

Mount up!

Edit: I realized should probably elaborate a little bit about what xfire is. Basically it's a fully functional version of the steam friends feature. It's like AIM or MSN in the sense that you can message people (both in and out of games). The in game messaging is seamless. A new message will pop up rather unobtrusively in the corner (without booting you out of the game or anything jarring like that) and you can choose to respond or ignore it. Friends can see what games you're playing, and at which server, and with a right-click can jump right in and join you. I think it's a really good tool for someone who wants to keep playing with people they know. At first I was skeptical about the program, I didn't really trust it to do what it promised, but I'm pretty sold now.

Hmph, I'll check it out. The main problem for me, is that nobody else seems to be in the same time zone. For example, when you posted this, it was 2 A.M. for me. Of course, I don't know when it was for you, but you get my point.

However, if it could work, I'd love to do it. I know only too well what you describe in the choppers. It normally forces me to fly, when I wanna gun.

Oh well, sounds cool if we can get it up.

Yeah, it was 2AM when I posted, I'm on the East Coast USA.

Sounds like we can defintely meet up and play together if you check out Xfire.

It is going to be hard coordinating with all the European players, but I find myself on at odd hours (for example, its noon EST and I'm already home from work) so it's definitely possible.

I'm zombieloffe, as always, if any european fewl feels like playing BF2.
That program is giving me headaches though.

I'll just add everyone who posts here, if you don't mind.



I came for the great service - but I stay for the extra leg space. ZombieLoffe.

In case anyone else wanted another reason to get Xfire, I forgot to mention that it keeps track of time played, for both the past 7 days, and all time. I thought that was almost the best feature. I always used to wonder how much I actually played. Now the scary truth Xfire has revealed to me is I have the time to work two full time jobs if I wanted, instead of just one.

I'll be DrGlass when I get my new computer, but I still think it would be better to just us the in game voice, so you could talk with the commander and if you invited some random cool person into your squad then you could also talk to them.

Xfire isn't a voice comm thing. It's just a messenger, friends / stats tracker.
