Bungie people driving a real Warthog, shameless IRC edition
Professor Pew \| 11:05 AM on 09.15.2007	18 comments

There's a lot you can say about how awesome this looks, but this bit from the Dtoid IRC pretty much sums it up:

<Mxyzptlk> What would be awesome is if it flipped, then one guy righted the thing by himself.

Come join the party at #destructoid on the Gamesurge server! For pc users:

1. www.mirc.com download and install
2. Open mIRC program
3. type /server irc.us.gamesurge.net
4. type /join #destructoid
5. ?????
6. Profit!

Working on a better IRC howto/FAQ for pc/mac/triliian in the meantime.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Because only playing games makes you kill people. Making them and then driving around in your own game vehicle only gives you a huge grin on your face.

For the Mac, I recommend getting Ircle and finding a product key somewhere online, since that program is your best bet.

Why not just use Ventrilo? We already have a server set up, and a lot of people use it.

Professor Pew says:

Not everyone uses ventrilo, it's not mutually exclusive either so the two can co-exist fine I think.

Ventrillo cannot be done at work or school for most people. IRC is simple and easy to use for everyone.

It also end up putting epic quotes on the frontpage, heh.

IRC also means the computer doesn't wake up the kiddo from his nap because someone has their mic turned up 4 times louder than everyone else.

Oh noes, he scratched the paint of the puma ... err ... warthog.

Ventrilo and IRC are made for different things, and they both are damn good at it. Both can coexist :).
