So what is XFire?
Xfire is a free application that combines multiple gaming tools into one powerful tool to alleviate the need to run multiple different gaming related programs. For instance, Xfire allows you to chat with your friends, see what games they are playing, what servers they are playing on and join them instantly with one click. Xfire also allows you to show off your gaming skills by capturing screenshots and videos and uploading them to your Profile page on the Xfire website.
Now XFire supports InstantAction so you can use all of the great XFire features while playing games on InstantAction.
So head on over to the XFire Website to grab the client and visit the InstantAction Page while you're there. For discussion on XFire and IA on our forums, click this link.

With today's release you'll notice that you can now earn tokens by simply clicking the "Earn Tokens" button from within the InstantAction Store. Once there you'll be presented with several different offers, for example, signing up for Netflix or taking a survey.
Each of these different offers yield a different amount of tokens so be sure to take note of how many tokens you will be receiving from the offer you are completing. Also note the rate at which certain offers take to go through, so you may need to be patient for your token balance to update and reflect the offer you have completed.
In addition to this change in the store below you'll find some of the other updates that came with this release:

We safely returned from the Sacramento Intel LANFest - I know you all were worried. The event was AWESOME! We had a great welcoming from veteran and new InstantAction gamers.

Nine "lucky" LANFest gamers were awarded an InstantAction Cup of Noodles t-shirt for fragging Dynamic_Derek. Congratulations to:
Two flights and 500 miles later, we've arrived in Sacramento for the Intel LANFest. Just two hours in, we've already had a great welcoming. We will be giving out t-shirts, energy drinks, stickers, five decaled cases, and a sick gaming rig! The Legions tournament is going down in full force Saturday at midnight.
We'll be doing some LIVE streaming at the LAN. Just go to the InstantAction Facebook fan page and click on the "Live" tab. Not only will you get to see our lovely faces, but we'll also be showing some in-game footage.
