Hundreds have already. The general consensus is that it’s a soul sucking terrible job and few manage to make it out and actually go on to a career from there. You have to like insanely love it.

Some folks come up from the ground floor like testing, but yeah, mostly it’s a shit job, it’s the first round of any layoffs, it’s the lowest paid and it gets no respect from anyone.

It’s funny how so many of us wanted to be one as kids.

People think game testing is like Grandmas Boy. It is not.

Sorta needed this today.

I think I manage to play through Doom at least once per year. I still find it's raw simplicity immensely cathartic. Not a single function is wasted. Movement is one-to-one, the guns serve clear and unique delivery methods, the enemy feedback is instantaneous and punchy. Nothing feels light, and everything is…

Is it bad that I exclusively buy StarCraft games for the campaigns?

You must be fun at parties. :3

Oh boy.

Yeah, servers DEFINITELY hate you.

This brings up an interesting question to my mind: what would you rather have for $7,000? This model of the Pillar of Autumn made out of Legos, or a professionally made model of the Pillar of Autumn, made for the same amount of money? I think I might prefer the professionally made model.

Still amazed this isn't how it was at launch. The fact the current, inherently cruel system passed every form of testing and assurance terrifies me.

A year from now, when we're riding Thor around San Andreas on magical pegasus who may or may not be Rainbow Dash, we'll have forgotten all about this.

The correct way to use a Green Shell like a champ:

"forgetting how splendid the game looked".
