Core Exiles IRC Rewards

written on October 3rd, 2009 with no comments

Worked this morning with Coops adding a new reward system to the Core Exiles Game. For active Participants in IRC Chat, we are now randomly awarding a fuel regen bonus, that will increase the fuel regen by 6 units per tick for a period of 6 hours!

To be in with the chance of winning the bonus, you simply need to be active in IRC chat, simple as that! We even make it mind-numbingly easy for you by providing an ajax mibbit widget to connect to the chat, so it really is as easy as clicking a button.

We do of course recommend that users install and configure a dedicated IRC client (many free clients can be found with a quick google search) but this is not a requirement for winning the competition !

If you are a fan of browser based sc-fi games, then get on over and check out Core Exiles, what do you have to lose ?

irssi for the Mac

written on September 17th, 2009 with no comments

I had to take a moment to post for those that are interested on a little gem i happened upon last night.

www.sysctl.co.uk have an irssi client beautifully wrapped up for Mac users. Despite my preference for simplicity when it comes to IRC, I have never bothered with irssi in the past as I was more interested in “low maintenance” software.. well now I have the best of both worlds!

I have this running on a Snow Leopard build, and despite one single crash shortly after launching it for the first time, it ran like a charm. If you are running Snow Leopard, and use IRC, I strongly recommend you give this puppy a test drive..
