Raptr- Like Last.fm for gaming

Lo there you bunch of bastards. Just thought you might be interested in this thing. Like the title says, it's basically last.fm for games. You download the free client and sign up an account, and it keeps track of all the games you play (most of them anyway, it won't track Wii games properly because Nintendo are friend code loving spazlords), and it's ace for keeping all your game IDs in one place. It'll do all current gen consoles as well as PC things like Steam and Spore. And it'll occasionally recommend games, although that seems a bit dodgy at the moment. And you get a profile that means you can show off what you've been playing. Like mine.

Enjoy!

Aye, I saw this on something a while back. Made by the guy who started XFire, I believe.
Xfire does what I want though, so I think I'll stick with that.

Loes!
As Stoat said, we're pretty well established with Xfire so it'd have to provide something useful above that to overcome a 5punker's inherent laziness.

It does cover Console stuff, which could help bring that side in to the light a bit.
It lacks something though, to me. I'm not sure what, because Xfire is hardly a polished platform, but it still looks very beta to me.

That's a good point, and I'd like to see some more console integration. I'm also quite pleased about Noit's use of the word "spazlords".

It looks like auto-twitter for games.

He has one post, and I've never seen him. Could be a bot.
(Now if I automagically assumed he was a member, I'd be doing a northwesten sometime in the future)

Thought I recognised the name from B3ta, but wasn't sure if I was thinking of Koit.

I find the fact it tracks consoles appealing, but since I only have a Wii, that's rather counter productive. I only log into xfire one every couple of weeks to snag an update anymore.

That's because your face looks like hey!
I think we still have some following for TF2, but a lot of us ended up not caring about it due to all the changes. Pester people and schedule games and they might well play more, somehow we're seriously lacking in games to play right now.

I had a quick go of it post-changes and it's not as awful as I thought it would be, but I'd still rather wait until they have unlocks for all the classes, then treat it as a completely new game, which I feel it will be.

I'd play TF2, if more than 1 other person turns up.

http://raptr.com/FatherJack came with CoDWAW, so I thought, fuck it. Has PS3 and 360 stuff in there, which it'll be interesting to see what it does with.
Not that I'm an acheivement whore or anything, but I have been playing Fallout 3 with the Windows Live thing on.
