GotGame Releases Integrated Web Browser For Games [Source: TechCrunch]

[afrikakorps]

Today GotGame is giving these gamers something to do during these bouts of boredom. The company has released Rogue, a web browser based on WebKit and Adobe’s AIR platform that integrates directly into most of today’s popular gamers, allowing users to swap between their game and the web with a single hotkey. Gamers will be able to check their Email, listen to Pandora, watch Hulu videos, or casually browse the web at their leisure, jumping back into the game within seconds whenever they need to (the browser supports opacity, so it’s easy to tell when you need to swap your attention).

Do you have adobe air installed?

[Cloudstrike]

Will it get you VAC'd or detected as a third party app in other games?

[Jayson]

hmm.... I could see this being pretty useful for PUG users that don't want to minimise CSS, and don't have a second screen or computer...

[SubNoize]

thanks for sharing, def install this when i get home

[pod0087]

Couldn't CSS do this for ages? I mean I know it could browse the web because I did that back in 2005...(because the motd is html)

But for the other games, yeh could be interesting.

[baz86]

it's actually css-slideshow.exe

No because it isn't a reported cheat. Should be fine with punkbuster too.

pug doesnt work...or doesnt appear to, im using it right now its a fairly shocking at being an everyday browser but for ingame facebook, email anddd forums browsing it does the job

[rFinsane]

Wow... it slows my Source from 300 FPS down to... 20! Oh joy. It seemed like such a good idea at the time

[Faded.]

My source runs at 80 fps max, if i want it to drop to 10 i will it.
