Learning from a Game?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

I got to fly a Titan just last week, just like the game.
Trivia games help to learn a little, but, other than hand/eye cordination, not to much to be of practical help. Though it might help get my chess game up a bit.

Ah chess, the intellectual's game .

Haven't played in a while, use to love it growing up. I even made my own 3D version, like Treks. Hard to learn, but fun to play.

You can by those 3D versions, but I prefer the traditional version personally.

Traditional chess rules! Best game ever made.

Fd, about your 3D chess game, I have allways wondered how such a game is played at all, but thats just me.

Esky, if it makesyou feel better I am a chess player, not very adept (never was really, I seem to lack the insight and order in my brain, insight a bit less then order, I am one Chaotic arsemonger), but used to play a fair bit with me m8's at school when I was a teenager, after that I lost practice (kinda).

@The Topic, well, it is true, a game is just like something you test your reflexes with. a PC-Game at the least. Your motor reflexes get trained throughg numerous repeated routines you need to perform to walk, shoot, drive, or anything otherwise, an FPS can also give you insight (atleast it could back then, when FPS games were literally crammed with numerous puzzels and such, Doom II anyone??) so in a way, its just plain crap talk that Gameplayers are violent idiots that go around ranting and raving, saying/proclaiming (whichever comes first, probably the latter) they can kill a man in twelve steps without breaking a sweat. it is those 1/>i0+s (yes it is supposed to written that way, so the little ****s know what I am calling them.)from ages 12 and down that give this community a bad name.

Loc, rules for 3D chess. My version that I liked was using the 2 4-squares as the back row and devided it, It helped put a different spin on the game.

Chess I liked, because it makes you think, and antisipate the moves of another. There are always variables and choices, that other than losing the game, harm nothing if you make the wrong one.
