Get paid to play!!!

Hi everybody.

In this post I’ll talk about my ideal job, which isn’t related to my career, funny isn’t it? Well my ideal job is to be a video game tester.

But first what is it? It’s a simple person who works on testing beta versions for videogames, so… what is a beta version? It’s a preliminary version of definitive videogame, which is lower in graphics quality and have many bugs so you must play a videogame over and over again to put it on its limits that allows you to find these bugs. (bug: fails in the videogame’s programming) in short, a person who get paid for play videogames.

Well, qualities for this job, in principle, not very much, only to be an expert “gamer” which already I’m, also it's necessary a highest observation and analysis capacity, an intermediate English level, I’m working on that by the way, Many, many, many free time, here I fail, I’m a student so I don’t have enough time for anything!!! And that’s it is all what an ordinary person needs to become a video game tester.


I’m an “gamer” since I started to think with an awesome Atari 2600 began my current journey through this freaky world so I played in most platforms knew like NES, SNES, Genesis, Megadrive, Amiga, 3DO, Jaguar, Saturn, PSX, and a very long etc. So, according to this I could be an excellent video game tester.


But, I’m in a far corner of the world where video games are seen as a diabolical way to see reality, causing mental sickness and the most, a child’s entertainment, in short, a limited and obtuse vision about what video games really are, so in Chile it’s impossible to live being a video game tester because there isn’t a developed video game industry in this part of the world, maybe if I travel to USA or Europe could be possible, but… dreaming is for free.

  1. Carlos,
    You really need to be a video game freak to do such job. I gave up playing computer games when, after some weeks playing a game in which some doors of all sorts kept opening to let me into rooms where I would come face to face with mad dogs and soldiers trying to kill me, I started to have only dreams in which, wherever I went, I had to go through strange doors... Weird, isn’t it?
    Well, if you have the capacity to separate those games from your dreams, then it’s Okay you do that job.
    Well, dear Mr game tester, here you have a game with words which consists in spotting the mistakes. Have a good hunt!
