I suppose there would be situations and jobs where it might be relevant.

If we want to; I think you can take it for granted that most of us won't be doing so!

But, as spurious says, it can occasionally be relevant. I've known of a few long-established mods / admins who have included it on their CV, even got a reference from Boards. They would have been applying for social media related jobs, or running / servicing customer care online fora, that kind of thing.

Corvo Attano · 26-07-2013 06:08PM

In your case it would be used in evidence against you.

Used to

jamo2oo9 · 26-07-2013 07:28PM

I have €20 to spend on something. What games are there I could buy on either Steam or Origin? Don't want C&C or DLCs. GTA has already been bought so I'm just looking for something else

Peregrine · 26-07-2013 07:42PM

Playing chess against a 10 year old and having to give back the queen every time I capture it -_-

decisions · 26-07-2013 07:44PM

I'm terrible at chess, after about 10 moves I just revert to protecting the king and avoiding check.

I'm terrible too

But not 10 year old terrible. I take forever to move something though.

It gets easier once you learn a few checkmate moves

Daniel7740 · 26-07-2013 07:56PM

I've never played chess in my life.

You can get the new Tomb Raider for 9 euro. Go over to Games and find the Game Bargains to get the best sales.

What about Saint's Row the Third or Mass Effect 3? What are they like?

Corvo Attano · 26-07-2013 08:09PM

You are well behind man. Saints Row 3 was 2.50 about 2 weeks back. 7.50 with all the extras. Its mad fun assuming you dont want a serious story.

Mass Effect 3 I havnt played but from what I hear your better off picking up 1 and 2 and then play 3 just to end the trilogy.

You serious?

I had no computer so I couldn't catch up on what was for sale on Steam or Origin. Absolutely gutted now

Just logged onto my steam account and they recommended Farming Simulator 2013 for me :pac:

Slender on Oculus...i called it

Daniel7740 · 26-07-2013 08:38PM

Would it be possible use a laptop as the screen for playing ps3?

Or would all the connections be output rather than input?
