Has anyone tried to get into a job or uni course and had (or wanted) to show the interviewer(s) your games?

How have you used your games for 'out of computer' purposes?

I never have. I never had chance, I mean my current job I didn't need anything like that, I'd just use my computer graphics portfolio.

this reminds me of a long time ago when I was 15, I wasn't doing too well at school, and I had a chat about that with a teacher. I told him I created games. He told me to stop that inmediatly and start studying.

...anyway, I also mentioned to a teacher that I create games, but I was doing well anyway so he didn't care.

Yeah, I've done something similar to Pete - it's a good idea, it shows you are responsible and other things which they believe to be true.

i showed off some screenies of Paintwar 2 and SatanSam for my college interview and he loved them so BO! i was on. and for my uni interview, at one i didnt go too, i showed some videos/sites/graphics made for games and showed then how many downloads Shikun has and all the magazine stuff... i got an unconditional offer

aaand i put a link to my site on my UCAS form.
one o' my lectures said i could have gotten into Bournemouth IF i applied, just off my portfolio alone. alas my college really messed up our UCAS stuff. bastards

hey i can show off at least once a week right?

Yeah, it's on my resume under "other interests." I actually had an interview the other day in which the guy asked about team projects, so I lied about the debacle that was my and Istvan's acoders comp entry.

Like Radix, I'd put it under hobbies or interests, but I wouldn't list it as a previous 'job' or anything.
