Default Ever wanted to chat, surf the net, etc with out alt tabing out of a game?

Well here is an answer to that.

http://www.playxpert.com

Neat little program (and free so far) for xp and vista 32 bit (doesnt support 64 bit yet though). Basically supposed to work with any game, and wont trigger anti-cheating software. With plugins you can surf the net, play music, use im chat (supports most of the main ones), and diagnostics (processor load etc), also users can make plugins such as for teamspeak, sound volume, etc)

I will mention though that this program is pretty new and hasn't had the kninks worked out yet.

Neat idea. I'm still waiting for the idea of having the clock be visible while playing a game to catch one. To my recollection, only one game (Age of Wonders) did that.

Unfortunatly, nope. Running vista 64 But they say they are gonna add it at some point

No clock yet, supposedly there was one that someone made but they stopped supporting it. Other users though are apparently working on it.

Wont mean much to non wow players but World of Warcraft has local and game time in the game, quite good when i have to turn up for a raid cause im 12hrs ahead of the US players keeping track of both times is a must. Nothing worse than turning up for a raid on Saturday ready as ever only to forget im 12hrs ahead and its still friday for them

Saturday Morning IN WoW:

"So we ready to kick some alliance ass guys?"

"Ahh Kiwi"

'Yeah?

"Its Friday dude"

I don't have that problem as my joystick (x-52) displays the system time on the throttle display and i can switch between 3 settings GMT, and 2 custom ones. Also shows the date too
