Licurg: Useless skill - I can hop on one leg for pretty much any distance. I learned to do that when I was around 12, not sure why I bothered :P In for Inquisitor.

Also:

Just got this, thanks :)

In for, preferably Inquisitor, but Hacker Evolution would be cool, too.

Useless skills? Well, let's see:

I can make a mean guacamole.
I can fire multiple shots from an unmodified pump action shotgun entirely one handed.
I can pop my fingers in such a way that sounds just like very loud popping of knuckles, repeatedly.. without actually popping the knuckles.
I can build a first level D&D 3.5 character of almost any of the core classes without consulting a rule book.
I can read backwards and/or upside down.
I can make epic smoke bombs.

.. I think that's enough for now. >.>

Since Inquisitor is on my wishlist, I'm in for that.

Anyway, my useless skill is that I can pretend to be my own brother (not that I have a brother, since I'm the third of the twin my parents never had.)

Oh yeah, my other useless skill is to come up with complete and utter nonsense.

Thanks and +1

I am in for the Inquisitor

Useless, well - I do know too much fluff and rules about the old WH40k Inquisitor miniature/rpg game and yet my friends refuse to even try it. Heretics! :'(

Well, Inquisitor is on my wishlist so I would like to enter but...
...useless talent... well, I remember anything in game that I once played (same with books/movies), so replay value of anything for me is very low, even after years I remember with answer do what :P

Im in for Inquisitor too


Useless talents: well, mostly languages and scripts come to mind. In school I learned ancient Greek and Latin and after school it got worse. Now I can read and write Tengwar (Tolkiens elvish script), know some Sindarin and Quenya, I can read and write Ultima Runes, Tolkiens Cirth and 'real' Futhark.

I have a unique skill set as well. I still know how to dial a phone number on a rotary dial phone and I know how to make a stripper slap you....neither skill helps your dating life though and are therefore useless :(

Hello, I am a cultural anthropologist.

Not in, because it would be unfair to the other contestants.

Inquisitor is way too new for my PC so I'm not in but it's such a cool thread that I just wanted to +1 for the effort and to mention that as for uselss talents I can FAKE the following languages:

Japaness
Russian
Bushman
American Southerner
Changing Radio Stations/Edited Broadcast
Japanese Martial Arts Movie Over-Dub
Wookie
and adults from Peanuts.

WAIT A TICK...Is Inquisitor an indy? those specs look REALLY low for a new game. I guess I AM IN for that. Not that it matters; any second now someone is going to post in here who can fart "Smoke on the Water" and put all of us to shame.

Thanks donators!

Hacker would be excellent.

Let's see, useless talent... the Vulcan hand thing, check.

I once tried to force myself to be able to raise my left eyebrow - you know, that "give someone a weird look and raise your eyebrow" thing, which is easy to do with my right, but I've never been able to do it with my left. I thought it would be cool to alternate but it's a lot harder than it sounds.

what useless skill, talent or knowledge do you have?

useless knowledge: i know who the killer is within 5 mins of any episode of Law & Order and of nearly every variant of Law & Order (exception: L&O Criminal Intent - the real killer of that series are the unending monologues)

count me in for:
Inquisitor (GOG)

thanks Thespian* & ISC & Licurg for a giveaway!

Well, I can do absolutely nothing whenever I want to. That's a really useless skill.

In for Inquisitor!

Due to my education, I'm excellent at inverting matrices by hand. A skill that's completely useless as a computer now does it for me in seconds.

I'd like to enter for Hacker Evolution Duality.

That isn't a useless skill, thats a Government job.
