i was told that games companies ~~never~~ (there's always exceptions) rarely hire anybody who has worked in their playtest depts. apparently it's because they believe that gamers will only regurgitate what they've been exposed to .. be it concept art, level design or even ip ideas. so just be wary, cos it has the potential to be a black mark.

Yeah, that would make sense, however there seem to be quite a few digital artists that are gamers in their spare time.

I agree. When I started out, my drawings used to take days or even hours. However, after much practice, my friends can't believe how fast I go through each now. So, keep it up! I'm rooting for ya!

I don't know, I laughed pretty hard when I saw Em's comment. I thought it was a funny little jab in good humour.

You do realise that you've just decried me for bringing up something from another thread (which was just a joke) and justified your response by bringing up something from another thread?

Hahaha Senra don't panic. We have a common threat now since North Korea is going nuts. We are quite united.
The truth is, news would only like to report things like guns and recessions. But think in this way: back then in the Great Depression, there were the Mafia and the Prohibition and the economy was really destroyed. But there was no war back then. No reason to go into a war now.

= Kidding

Don'y worry about North Korea. The Internet pirates will sort out the government there - that's the kind of thing they do, I've been led to believe.

I'm not being that mean ( Trust me, this isn't me being mean >_< ) but considering the atittude he's been giving some of the other members I think I have a right to tell him to shut up if he's trying to start something else from another thread all over again in here.

Oh piss off em... take your trolling elsewhere please, that wasn't in good taste and at least learn to correct typos and spelling errors if you're going to keep it up.

lol basically I'd get paid to play games and find bugs or technical issues in them and its something I do regularly anyway so I'd be naturally good at it.
