Season three of Sony’s The Tester sees competitors doing completely ridiculous things for a chance at a production associate at PlayStation’s Santa Monica Studio. What sort of ridiculous things? See for yourself.
I’ve gone through a great deal of shit in the pursuit of gainful employment over the past several decades, but I can honestly say there is no job on earth that would make me place my head in a box full of cockroaches. Maybe writing for Kotaku, but I’ve already got that job so they missed their chance.
The Tester season three premieres on February 7 on the PlayStation Network.

Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at 11:04 AMI would happily trade in my shit job for their shit job. And yes, i’d let them cover me with cockroaches for it. Hell, they could dress me in pretty pink tutu and call me susie for all i care. There are much, much worse jobs out there than playtester.

Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at 11:11 AMNot sure if anyone has been involved in software testing.. I am sure that there are some people that would do this but look at the job for what it is. It would be an entry level testing job. This is not going to be fun. The hype of the show would wear off soon enough and you would be left with a job that is like all the others. Boring and repetitive work for not that much money…
Ive never watched the show and dont like my own playstation that much so this does not interest me… go for it if you want. But certainly not for me.

Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at 3:19 PMYeah there is nothing all that special about being a game tester. You play the same broken game over and over untill its not broken anymore at which point you stop playing it.
And hell no, I wouldnt stick my head in a box of roaches for anything.
