Game testing sucks all the fun out of games. But hey, DO IT, then give me a job.

lol, yea but im all bout comp games, and hey i get to test games 1-2 years ahead of time, so that is a plus

how much do they pay you darkhippo?..
plus, how do people apply?
and do they give you a deadline to submit a report?

personally, im not really keen on being paid to test games cos then i have to really make a good opinion for each game. eg: how to improve it. and if i give them suggestions, all they will do is take them away and use it to make themselves more money. unles you are going to be a compiuter programmer or somethingm, this is basically throwing away your intellectual effort and experience.

ahh damn lost my post, ok basic is

get minimum wage, i get 1 game a month, compay = EA, i get to work at their places, i get to keep the game after im done testing and rating it... im 16, i live in san diego cali, so yea ^^ that's it i think

that's cool!

well cali is the place where a lot of people go work in silicon valley anyway. so its a good start. personally i wouldnt want to work in gaming cos gaming is my relax time i guess...

though i guess plot design, story writing etc will be big in gaming and i could do that. so gaming isnt just about programming now.
