Freelance Video Game Tester

This work pays very well, and requires the tester to be able to communicate very clearly - and meet deadlines. As a freelance video game tester, you are expected to play unreleased games from your own home office, provide written feedback as instructed by the developer(s) and return this information by the deadline. If you meet deadlines, you get a big fat paycheck in the mail

Here is a review from skeptic-reviews.com confirming “that Gamer Testing Ground is great program that provides all the information, support and hook ups to get started at game testing in a short period of time. We liked the access to unreleased game titles and the broad selection of game assignments.
This program provides a ton of inside resources that will help you become a game tester in short period of time. The insider contacts and information here are invaluable to someone seeking a game tester position. This information is impossible to acquire on your own. With the right contacts and resources this plan helps you get the job. We liked the program and within a week, with a little effort, we were actually playing games and getting paid for it.
This one also seemed to have access to some very popular game releases and the most unreleased game titles out of the three. If you're in it for game diversity, then check this one out.
We gave them 8 out of 10 for their product. If you would like to sign up and take advantage of the special offer they are running" Click Here!

Paid Video Game Tester

What If you Could Make up to $120 Dollars Per Hour Testing Video Games From Your Home, Would You Be Interested?

As a Video Game Tester You Will:
Get to Play Video Games
Get Paid to Play Video Games
Get Paid to Play Unreleased Games before anyone else
Get Free copies of Video Games
Get access to cheat codes, level secrets, and other "bugs" that only game testers know about.

The Deal:
A variable length membership, starting at $39.95.
It takes time to land a job... some companies can take a month or more to reply, so all memberships come with a 6+ month subscription, you get updates for 6-24 months, excellent resources, and lots of other stuff.

This guide will show you the sites to find jobs that pay for game testing; the trail blazing has been done for you, for the membership fee.

Some frequently asked questions:
1. Why would companies pay me to beta test games?
The game industry is now over a $50 billion dollar business. In the case of nationwide companies, producing games that have bugs in them -- games that the customers will return, means losing millions of dollars, and likely jobs.
2. Don't the programmers catch all the glitches?
The answer is NO -- programmers are not necessarily gamers, they won't find all the bugs that a gamer will. If a company pays you $40/hr to play games and find glitches for them that would otherwise ruin the game experience for the user, and possibly hurt their sales, from their perspective it's really a good deal.

3. What kind of games will I beta test?
It will depend on the company, but all these games have been tested before relase:
Crysis
Bioshock
Call of Duty 4
The Witcher
Age of Conan

4. Can I still go to school, or work my 9-5 job, what about Education requirements?
Most testing jobs don't require formal education. You get paid up to $120 per hour. This will depend on your effort, knowledge, and experience. Some jobs are 9-5, while others are test whenever you want; you will apply for the jobs that you like. The only hard requirement is that you need to be 18 years of age or older.

5. Can I test games on the XBOX 360, PS2, PS3, PSP, Nintendo DS, Gameboy, etc?
This will depend on the job that you land. If you only want to test games on the XBOX ONLY then your employment opportunities will obviously be limited. You will apply for jobs that you like and test on whatever system that you wish to test on.

Opps, wrong address

It's wise to remember how easily this wonderful technology can be misused, sometimes unintentionally, with serious consequences.

Consider the case of the Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory.

Unfortunately, he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint.

At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:

Dearest Wife,

Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.

PS. Sure is hot down here.

The Self Fulfilling Prophecy

We see the world as we are, not as it is. Our behavior and attitudes flow from the way we see things. Our results are determined by our behavior and attitude and reinforce the way we see the world. So the self fulfilling prophecy is that we get whatever we see.

Between whatever happens to us and our response to whatever happens to us, there is a space. In that space we have the freedom to choose our response. Those choices make up our life.

Principles govern consequences. The principles that we live by, create the world we live in. If we change the principles we live by, we will change our world.

The way we see the world is our choice. The way we feel is our choice.

Take the responsibility for your choices and make your world as you would like it.

How will you be remembered?

How to Break 80

There are over 250 million golfers in the world today and less than half will ever break 100. 33% will break 90. Only 5% will ever break 80. That's 12.5 million people out of 250 million golfers.

Let's face it, golf is probably the most difficult sport in the world. It takes a great deal of skill, mental fortitude and perseverance to excel at it. You have to have great hand-eye coordination, balance, athletic ability and creativity.

Now, there are a ton of people who play golf just to hack around and have some fun and drink some beers.

However there are many more avid players are always trying to improve their swing and overall game. The problem is that golf is a very difficult game to master and you don't have enough time to practice to really improve significantly. Even the guys who play golf for a living and have the best golf instruction in the world still struggle and they practice every day!

BUT...
If you're like most golfers, though, you want to improve, not just hack around. Golf when played poorly, is not a lot of fun. What do I mean by poorly?

You play golf 2-4 times/month and have never broken 90 or even 80
You are not able to work the ball (fade, draw, general trajectory)
You have at least 3 or 4 three putts per round
You rarely hit greens in regulation
You can't get up and down when I miss a green
You make a birdie once in a blue moon
You don't really know where the ball is going when you swing (hit and hope)
You are a more advanced player and typically shoot in the low or mid 80's frequently but can't seem to break 80.
If you can identify with even one of those characteristics of a poor golfer, then it's time to do something about it.

No one, and I mean NO ONE should have to play bad golf. Here's why YOU shouldn't settle for poor golf either:

Bad habits will only get worse if you don't fix them.

You are wasting money on every round of golf you play because it turns out to be an expensive practice round!

Golf does not have to be so complex and difficult. If you knew how easy it was to break 80 you would have far less gray hair, anxiety and uncertainty..

Golf is infinitely more fun in the 70's than it is in the 80's, 90's and 100's. TRUST ME on this one.

It really doesn't matter if you want to shoot even par or simply break 100 for the first time....the techniques and strategies in How To Break 80 will help you lower your handicap quickly. When you truly have a confidence in your game and your swing and have good consistency, it becomes more than a sport, but a true accomplishment.
