In my last post I explained the requirements for game testing and where to look for a job as a game tester. In this post I’ll focus on the Downs to game testing because I think it makes sense to explain the bad stuff before getting into the good parts to the job. Before diving into this post I’ve got another video for you to watch. This is from X-Play and was a feature from a few months ago.

Before you apply for a testing job there are some things to keep in mind. I’m going to start of with the Downs to Game Testing.

A few years ago I left my job as a Recording Engineer and started a new life as a Video Game Tester. Everyone that knew me was jealous because I’d be getting paid to play video games. Sounds like a fun job right? Well over the next few posts I’m going to talk about the basic of game testing. But first watch this informative video!

Wasn’t that hilarious! To start things off that is neither game testing nor is it game programming. There is no place in the world where that situation would actually happen - other than in good ole’ TV land. Now that you’re all loosened up from that laughing spell here are the requirements and tips on where to look for a job.
