Ok what i would like to know is if anyone here know's of a good source for some QA jobs (game testing)

I see all these web sites that adversive tester jobs for a fee, but i can't realy trust what say.

So if anyone has had some success with a good company or media source i would love to here about it thanx!

Well more and more are just having them do it internally but I would suggest checking which are in an area and seeing if they have them open, some people get hired through temp agencies as well. Are you trying to get your foot into the vg game world? Just remember the pay is gonna suck and the hours are going to be long and tedious, like racing 1 lap 2k times in a row and inspecting everything to see if it runs properly...ect


@ Linux: Ya I wanted to be one as well as an teen till I found out the pays and hours suck and you'd have do you all kinds of tedious stuff, I was naive and thought it'd be good pay and plain fun...just not the case

I thought about it, but I rather not play the same game for days and days. Just imagine if the game was terrible. It would be fun, if it was a decent game. But, just imagine the people who tested Sonic the Hedge Hog ( the remake ) defiantly not a good time there.

Why don't you find an adress, and walk into that gaming industry building and say "I want a job"?
