I have 100s of game movies shot with FRAPS and 250 or so uploaded to YouTube. Just recently saw that I can upload here as well and that xfire converts them for me. So lets share some movies here as well...
Lineage II hours
2011-05-23 12:23 AM PDT
Ha ha 128 hours of Linage II played this week. Well, let me tell you, as Warsmith I don't play that much. I think I actually play about 50 hours max, the rest is AFK time with craft-shop to make money 
But keep in mind that the the amount of played Lineage II time should be incresed with at least 2500 hours. I started playing Lineage II long ago, before I started using xFire, and when I started using xFire, I had it off for a long time because of conflicts with Lineage II...

Social network stalkers
2011-02-12 11:53 PM PST
I've spoken before about social network 'friends', and how annoying some of them can be. When I spoke about them, I removed one from xFire and hoped he'd learn his lesson, but I was wrong...
Before I knew, he was commenting here on my blog, and mostly not even related to the topic (well, go ahead and make a fool of yourself). And when I was invited for the closed beta of Evolve, he probably signed up for it through my blogpost about it, and he wanted to be friends there. Okay, knock yourself out!
Around the same time, he came back to me on xFire with a friend invite and commented that he'd "No longer make stupid remarks", and I thought to give him a 2nd chance and accepted him on both xFire adn Evolve as friend, and I hoped he really learned his lesson...
How wrong I was about that! Okay, no more odd poke messages through xFire anymore, but now he does it through Evolve, just to let me know he's there. Man, I don't give a damn about those pokes! You only annoy me with them! So I removed him on both networks once again, never to be added again...
But yesterday it occurred to me that in Second Life I have a stalker like that as well. He also gives those "Hey" messages, and mostly doesn't even chat normally, other than requests to add him to his MSN, talk over Skype and even wants to take a peek on my Facebook page.
'com guys! NO REALLY MEANS NO!
If someone clearly tells you not to be interested in those meaning less pokes and "hey" messages, leave them be and only come to them if you have something to tell!
It must be an age thing, where the current teen-age generation only "knows" how to network through computers and forgets about networking in real life *feels old now*
Though I have Asperger's syndrome, I know how to network in real life and on social media, most likely because I've trained myself in these social skills. Perhaps it's time the younger generation does the same, and starts taking lessons in social networking in real life, only then...

Social network 'friends'
2011-01-19 3:23 AM PST
I'm not overly active on the many social networks out there. Actually, I'm only on 3: xfire, twitter and since a couple of days facebook. And as you might know, I am very picky on those I invite as friends (though that doesn't really count for twitter since you can't pick friends there).
Recently, I accepted a new "friend" on xfire. Though he didn't match all my interests, I thought to accept him. Boy, did I make a mistake there! He claims to be 20 on his profile, but looking at his behaviour, he might as well be a 12 year-old kid. He kept asking silly questions like "How can I get a girlfriend" and also kept interrupting me, just to let me know he's "there", with short messages as "hey" and the more popular "wassup".
Please man, give me a break. If you;ve read my profile, you know a bit how I feel and respond to people. Don't treat me like a "bro" on your school. I'm an adult, twice as old as you. Don't give me that crap you pull off to your other friends!
After this incident, I'm even more picky on my "friends" on social networks.
Those on xfire, I won't accept below the age of 25 from now on, and most certainly NOT those playing World of Warcraft on a regular basis.
On twitter, well I can't really accept friends. I just follow whoever I think gives me some valuable information.
Facebook is an easy one. Mostly only family and RL friends.
It might be my autism speaking here, but I don't need "friends" I don't know in RL, just to build a social network. Friends I want are those that share interests and I can have a real conversation with. Not kids like the one I just unfriended in my xfire list...

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes (again)
2011-01-04 1:36 AM PST
I fooled xFire to find Vanguard: Saga of Heroes on my system, so played time is being calculated now. I'm only missing about 48 hours played time now 
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

Playing Vanguard for a week already, but xFire is unable to find it on my PC. This means no time registration of how long I've played Vanguard
xFire the source of my PC crash..?
2010-09-07 11:07 PM PDT
A week ago I made a tweet that I had to format my 600Gb HDD completely. I did not talk about it in my blog since I thought it was not real worth it... It would look like i was complaining about how my computer mysteriously my computer crashed while I run under Windows 
Last weekend I might have found the reason for the crash I experienced... I was running 5 days without any trouble, when xFire updated itself. Nothing special there, since it updates often, but this was the first update after my reinstall of windows. And right after the update, my network connection started to fail every 3 minutes fir a couple of seconds... After killing xFire (and disabling it from launching again when Windows starts), my system was running fine again...
Now I'm wondering is this is a coincidence or not... xFire has been the property of MTV Networks for years and all went well. Since a month or so, MTV sold off xFire to a investment company and I'm starting to have these problems... Also, this investment company has not mentioned it's name yet; only MTV Networks has told the name of the new owner of xFire once, right before xFire was handed over. And when you look at the xFire website, there's still no information whatsoever about who's responsible now for xFire!
So I'm wondering... This mysterious investment company, is it a legit company or one using some sort of malicious code concealed in xFire to get your data? With a company not introducing their self on their products website, I get a little paranoia....
Just do your maths... An investment company buying a free game related service with an on-line shop that's not even making profit..? There must be something else behind this purchase, something that'll make them money from this purchase in the long run.
Okay... I might seem very suspicious towards xFire. The crash could also be just a case of "Shit happens" where xFire and an other program bite each other. I have my doubts about that, since I didn't really change a major thing to my...
