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

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

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

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

decisions

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

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

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

Slender on Oculus...i called it

Daniel7740

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

Or would all the connections be output rather than input?
