Nice. You have named video games here that I hadn't even heard of before.
I am thoroughly impressed, that doesn't usually happen.

You are a fine man Henry. And I sure hope you remember who this is and don't find this comment creepy or something of the sort.

LOL stevie downsyndrome! back-fighting buddy of the century! fuck dude. i stopped reading after you said my name, thinking, "how the fuck did this guy find out my real name. i try pretty hard to stay anonymous on the internet." at least, try to keep my full name off of the net. lol, google my full name and you'll find nothing but google "a divine unicorn" and you'll find breadcrumbs all over the fucking place.

how are you my man?!

Fine Fine Fine. I graduated and just work all the time. But I work at a game development place as a tester so life is pretty kickass.
How are you? What have you been up to?

Sorry to use your name and jeopardize your entire operation.

fuck dude. i want to be a game tester. how do you get into that shit? man i'd kill to pull in 100 hours a week playing a single shitty video game full of glitches (read a horror story)

but honestly, how do i get to do that?

i've been good. been taking a few classes at MCC. planning on finding a new job soon so i can move out in the fall. being a game tester would be bomb. what games have you tested?

Shit, I kinda just knew a guy who knew a guy. Well, my good friend from Lehi, Utah Chris had a man in his ward that is an artist, he got chris the job, chris got me the job.
Your best bet is to google game development companies in your area (phoenix is fucking huge. It should have some). Look on their website for QA information and how to apply. Game testing is a job that appeals to many, but is difficult and unrewarding, so positions should open up pretty regularly, and if they keep your application on file you might end up with a job in the next couple months.

Our company has been working mainly on non-original IP's. I myself has worked on Fosters Home for imaginary friends for DS, The chipmunks game that came out around the same time of the movie, on 4 different sku's (PS2, DS, Wii, and PC) and the Jackass game for DS.
lol would you recommend i try to get a job doing that? what's they pay and hours and shit? i'm trying to move out and all.
My job is fun as hell, not because I'm playing video games, but because of the people I work with are the rockin' shit. I started at 8 but make 9 now, the hours are pretty terrible, depending on how close a game is to a deadline you can work from a normal 8 hour day to a 16 hour day.

But that all depends on the company you find. If it's an actual design company you might end up like I am with that description, but if you end up finding a third party testing company the hours should be more regular, and you might get paid a little more.
