What the hell is Skype?

[Shocky]

And why should or shouldn't I bother with it?

 

[Sparky]

TBH, I have no idea, My landlord told me to download it so she could contact me.. I havent used it yet. I think its for phone calls and webcam???

 

[Slyfox696]

It's awful. You shouldn't.


Case closed.

For those of us who don't wanna click on that link.. could we just have the general jist of what it actually is? (outside of "shit", as Sly seems to have said)

 

[Hyorinmaru]

here you go Will

It's a software that lets you make 'calls' using your headset anywhere in the world (as long as they have skype)

It's just like Ventrillo and Teamspeak.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

So basically put.. it's an internet phone. Lame.

You could say that. I played World of Warcraft for quite a while. We used to go on 'raids' which involved up to forty different players. In order to communicate easily, we all went into a chatroom using Skype. We could talk to each other all at once, making it much easier to function as a group. Skype sucks, though. I'd suggest using Ventrillo, though Teamspeak is decent as well.

WOW is for losers. No offense.

I use it to communicate with my cousin who lives in Pittsburgh. We will talk over it once a week or so. It was the best thing we could find although it sucks. No need to download it Shock only good thing about it is it makes some kickass noises when you get a call and logout.

No it's not. It's a game. It's fun. It's not exclusively for losers, nerds, and fat people. It's no different than playing Call of Duty. It's a game, played for fun.

I played it before for like a month before I got bored of it. I can't stick with things like that for long periods of time.

You have to play for a while before you can begin to really enjoy it. Low levels suck.

Yea I got so bored though I don't like sitting on my ass pushing buttons for hours on end. I get so uncomfortable. My cousins still play it and have begged me to give it a second shot but I don't give in.

But see the thing is. Call of Duty is a fun game. One that actually has an end to it. Not one where you go along fighting mythical creatures and going on raids and shit.
