Hell yeah. Xfire, Counter Strike Source, and Toonami made up the bulk of my childhood. I hardly hear it talked about anymore

The only reason it came up again for me was I noticed it in some old computer files, ha! Used to be my most used application by far.

Yeah I think I ended up trying it an Ventrillo, and I preferred the latter.

AngryAnusHornets,

For me it was because most people were on AIM anyway

Did you pronounce it X-fire or Crossfire?

Dran_Arcana,

X fire, but in my defense I was eleven

    English is my 2nd language, so I always read it as “X” Fire. That;s funny, I never though about it.

    Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever,

    A lot of, generally Japanese, media uses “x” as shorthand for “cross”

    A friend always called it “christfire” because it pissed EVERYONE off

    Let them know I'm taking that for my new band name.

    I remember in Paper Mario: TTYD one of the late game tattle entries on a X-naut enemy clarifies that its pronounced "cross"-nauts. This game had me mispronouncing the villain team's name the entire time until the end.

    full_on_rapist,

    Hence the cross button on PS controllers.

    secret301,

    X usually stands for cross. Some road sign will say train xing or deer xing

    squaresinger,

    Sometimes X is also used to abbreviate Crossmas.

    NAM,

    Christfire would’ve gone hard.

    Duke_Nukem_1990,

    More recently X also represents a heap of shit.

    thrasherv3,

    I never even considered it might be pronounced crossfire…I am stupid.

    AngryAnusHornets,

    Same here…

    tifa0080,

    I think I remember an official statement saying “X-Fire” was correct, and “crossfire” was wrong.

    SilverFlame,

    I dont even need to watch this video, I can hear the thumbnail. Don’t get caught in the CROSSFIREEEE!

    I actually convinced my parents to buy this for me, played it once.

    HotboxedSubmersible,

    I cannot read the word crossfire without that song latching onto my brain.

    SilverFlame,

    The commercial is a masterpiece of 90’s child-centric advertising

    MrGerrit,

    Do you call the button on a controller X or cross?

    ChicoSuave,

    I could be wrong but I call it the D pad

    MrGerrit,

    I mean this button.

    TheIllustrativeMan,

    “Ex-fire”. “Crossfire” was an AMD thing.

    “Stray Gods” is an incredibly beautiful game. I was turned off by the playstyle at first, but then I embraced it and got really invested in the characters and the story. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Greek mythology and/or fantastic stories about interpersonal drama and enjoys games with tough dialogue choices.

    The soundtrack also!!! It’s a musical game and the songs are all SO BEAUTIFUL. I teared up a few times.

    thanks for the heads up, loading it now!!

    Diocese3049, do games w The Armored Core 6 preload is live on Steam

    PS5 preload too.

    TesterJ,

    Yep! I believe console preload started yesterday or the day before. Steam just went live. So stoked we can all have it ready to go right at the release time.

    Diocese3049, (edited )

    As someone with rural internet (15mbps) being able to preload games is amazing.

    TesterJ,

    I feel that. I had 1Mb/s DSL internet until I left for college in 2011. My download speeds were usually around 100KB/s, it was torture.
