I would play all the time if I could get payed to play. That and I would need some players, which I don't have.

Hehe... I work for VMC, a consulting division for Volt. Or particular group of VMC stress tests pre-release XBOX games.
I literally get paid to play video games, 8 hours a day. The only downer is that I could get stuck playing a really shitty game for a few weeks. Bummer, eh? LOL |

You bastard.
Though I suppose it's balanced off by the fact that you have to use an XBox. ~J |

Yep. =( I am a PC gamer. I hate consoles, but I have been impressed by the depth of some of the games...

You know, it's hilarious to me, when you read a post, and it is so descriptive of someone that only one single person comes to mind, and yet, you never mentioned his name. Or maybe I'm just in a humourous mood right now. Derek |

Hey Nindaru, how do you get that job, not a job in the game industry... but your specific job?

I guess in future we will use ACME patented, instant GM's - just add water.
This silliness is so relaxing... |

I heard Wizards (of the Coast) is gonna announce their newest d20 product called d20 DM. You just roll dice and instead of having a GM tell you what's happening they have every conceivable random table and chart inside.

Hehe... I have been looking for tech work since I shut down my computer store. I had been bugging Volt for MONTHS asking for temp work, season stuff, ANYTHING. (It really IS that bad around here...) Anyhow, one day someone called and said they work for VMC, a consulting company of Volt's. The asked me if I played video games. Duh! =) They asked me if I had ever found a bug in a game before. Now that I have worked at this, I can think of a bunch of times this has happened to me before, but I had never thought of it before working there. Back on topic... I was told to come on down for an orientation, fill out paper work and then they would contact me. They have a 'bullpen' kind of thing that goes like this... The call and assign people to teams. If for any reason they have gaps in their lists, they grab people (waiting in the cafeteria) from the 'bullpen' and assign them to jobs for the day. Then we sit down in front of a TV, VCR, Hub, Several XBOX's (Different designs, language builds, etc...) and PLAY! The VCR is for recording EVERY moment of stress testing so that if there is a bug, a freeze, etc. it is down on film as well as going on paper. They are VERY thorough and detailed in their reports as well. While I am a seasonal guy now, I am trying to pick up as much as I can about how the perms do their job so that I can try for a perm position. Wish me luck! |
