What do I have to do to become a video game tester?

Best Answer:
Live in a city where the video game companies are. I believe you can find classifieds for gaming careers (such as QA) at www.gamasutra.com Seriously though, I wouldn't advise it. It's a really cool job to have . . . for about a week. This isn't like playing video games for fun. You are playing rough and buggy versions of assigned games (don't like racing games? too bad!). You have to find the bugs and then duplicate them for your superiors. I've known a few people who've done this job and all of them have been b!tching about it after a few days. LA and Raleigh NC are both towns that support a lot of gaming companies. If you live in Podunksville, you may be out of luck. Best of luck to you
