Do you trust XFire?

I'm just wondering if XFire can be trusted.

Oh and sorry Trekkie. :oops:

It's crap but yes. It can.

Xfire is an instant message client that is used in steam games. You can use it while you are playing a game, also to connect into your friends games. It can be pretty useful, it is trusted, but its not an ideal system of communication unless you have a ton of friends that play steam games. The sound effects are annoying too. :shock:

^Xfire is a program that allows you to play games with people from around the world. You can created and join servers, chat with friends, and play your favorite games.

It's not a two-week old thread, so I can bump it and answer the question without getting yelled at.
Yes, you can. Xfire is an extremely useful tool for gamers, it provides a very quick launch for your favorite games, including MMORPGs, strategy games, shooters and even MAME32, allows you to take screenshots in game and post them in your profile (there's a limited screenshot capacity though), download patches to your games, communicate with your friends and a lot of other features.
To Dave: You can turn off the sounds.
To Creepy: It's not crap. You didn't even give a reason why you don't like it.
Global note: NEVER add people that you know that they are noobs. I've added one and as a result he was bugging me on "GunZ: The Duel" for a whole hour and I couldn't even reply because it doesn't support in-game for that game.

and it keeps track of how long you've been playing a game

Yes it can be trusted but I hate it. The in-game messaging thing is very annoying. I use it for the sole purpose of tracking my online time.

It can be trusted. I mainly use it to keep track of gametime.

Thousand and one noobs add you.
The chat system is pathetic
It's annoying to use (see the above and expand on it)
looks ugly
like a cheap crap version of AIM - which is crap in itself
i don't use any of the games it's 'compatible' with so there for it is crap

I don't say these things for no reason, if i say somethings crap i have reasons to back it up it's an opinion, my opinion that im intitled to.
