Xat’s eagerly awaited power 56 has transformed into and been released as the new “Snowy power”. With it users have access to a new “Snowy kiss” (see below).

Those users that do not have the new Snowy power can still take advantage of another new Christmas themed kiss called “Globe”. It too is now visible along with the other kisses.

In addition Xat has included an easter egg of sorts for the Globe kiss. By appending #reindeer to the end of the kisses message, the default Snow kiss snowman can be replaced by a reindeer.

Update: We missed this before but Xat has also added new smilie power functionality for the SNOWY power. Here’s an example of what you can do!

Update: Xat’s power WIKI has new and updated information on additional Snowy functions.

Kisses

Xat has added a new “secret” kiss (check the wiki for more info on what a kiss is and how to send it) to it’s current list of kisses.

Personally we were experiencing “new powers overload” and welcome this new change! Anyway, here are a few screenshots showing the new secret “Shark” kiss and what you’ll have to know to use it (hint: type $SetKiss=Shark in the chat prior to using it). Oh, one more thing, although we haven’t seen it, Xat has apparently created a (shark) smiley as well.

For the few of you that may have been sleeping under a rock for the past decade or flat out don’t own a television, this new kiss is clearly Xat’s own take on Peter Benchley’s novel cover or the blockbuster movies better known movie still. See the similarities?
