Video Game Tester - How To Get a Job

This is sad, but it's true, the best way to get hired as a video game tester isn't tested by what you know, but by who you know.

Yes, how sad. So how can you do this?

You have to make relationships. Call up every video game company and see if they need any video game testers. You can find these companies on the Internet in your favorite search engines. This is where your experience really comes in handy. If you have great experience in gaming, this will be an easy job. Just tell them what you have done and what console you specialize in. It's that simple.

But if your not an experience gamer, then your best bet is to sell yourself. Tell them why they should hire you. Don't just say that your a good person. No! Go into depth on why your such a great gamer.

So in order to help you, here is a list on what to say:

• What console you specialize in
• How long you have been playing games
• How intelligent you are in your console
• The different games you've played (The more the better)
• How much you play video games
• What makes you so different from everyone else

The last step is always the hardest. What sets you out as better than others that they can hire? For this last section, I can't help you out with. You have to figure this one out on your own, because only YOU know why your so different.

Everything else should be self explanatory.

Once you find the company that wants to hire you, then you have to start putting in all your effort into that gaming company. It's the least you can do to repay them for such a great opportunity. So work your hardest when you get hired and take it seriously! Don't slack off you might get fired!

Old Farm Technology - That Farm Experience!

No matter where you are in the world, agricultural production is the basis for the economy of all nations. It is impossible for a political declaration to produce food or a usable product. Even the vast seas of the globe are agricultural producers of food. Agriculture is the sustenance of life, it produces food for the table, it produces medicinal products, it produces renewable wood products for shelter and heat. One cannot even begin to list every product or resource for which agriculture is responsible.

These account for the experience and education that a person receives when he partakes in the "Farm Experience". A dairy farmer learns early on that nutrition and health go hand in hand with milk production. The livestock feeder raises cattle, sheep, hog, chickens, turkeys, ducks and other animals providing food for countless other (many non-farm families). The crop producer provides corn, beans, peas, for food. Look in any grocery store and observe all the food stocks consumed daily by populations everywhere. More recently crops provide ethanol for fuel, solvents, starches and resins for plastic type products.

Further experience is in the form of mechanical capability: Learning the basics of engine and machine maintenance all the way to complete engine and transmission overhauls. Sophisticated electronic monitoring and electrical control of hydraulics are common place today, giving more, in depth, experience to the farmer.

How many people are capable of receiving income once a year (while depending on weather, government intrusion, non-local bankers, unreliable parts availability, disease, weeds and other frustrating problems) can stretch that income to a twelve month allocation?

Livestock and dairy farmers have to contend with all of the above crop problems plus: Fluctuation of feed prices, availability of feed, quality of feed, multiple nutrition needs and problems, health and veterinary requirements, price fluctuations just to name a few.

These people still possess the optimism of a saint. Pessimism can be as debilitating as a terminal disease. The "Farm Experience is a commendable and necessary attribute gained only by farming. Small business such as family farms and independent business owners all posses these attributes that have built America and world wide success while being confronted by adverse conditions.

The "Farm Experience" is really not limited just to farmers, small independent business owners succumb to similar parallel problems and experience learning and develop solutions similar to farmers. America's civilization and civilizations around the world as well as big international businesses are all founded in farming and small individual businesses.

The small business and "Farm Experience" is the most reliable source of "Common Sense" available anywhere today. The creators of the Constitution all were farmers and small business owners-NO professional polititians! Your memories and dreams were formed because of your experiences. Richard Monson has put together farming videos and stories of earlier times. Enjoy a visit at: http://OldFarmTechnology.com/13811

Why Are Movie Licensed Video Games So Bad?

After playing The Golden Compass we all had to wonder here--why are movie games so terrible? Sure, there are exceptions. Spider Man was great, for example. However the vast majority of liscenced movie games are low-quality shovelware that are often less fun than just throwing the disc around in a game of frisbee. Why is that, and is there any hope for change?

Some things don't look good. The Golden Compass, for instance, reeks of being pushed out of the door in order to meet a strict deadline. It ends abruptly, but almost blessedly so because the concepts of the game are so shoehorned in that it's not very fun to play. The people who made the game are the ones responsible for Earthworm Jim and other hilariously fun games, so why couldn't this deliver?

As Barnum said, there's a sucker born every minute. People buy with recognition, not with quality, especially seeing as you can't really inspect a game's quality sitting on the shelf. Parents often want to buy their kids something recognizable that they like and get on with their day--and kids love anything with their favorite characters on it. Unfortunately this has been exploited quite a bit, leaving kids to blissfully (or not!) play games simply because their favorite cartoon face is featured in it.

However there is hope on the horizon. Gaming is gaining in popularity, and soon the parents themselves might have a better idea for quality. Also, as machines get more powerful and easier to develop, writing tedious details of code might be less of a concern and more resources can be devoted to designing a solid game. Even with the most powerful systems out now, there are still a lot of limitations but we might see the increased power of future generations go more toward making development easier so that the games can be better designed, much like recent web technology has gone from stuttering text-and-small-icon only web pages in the early 90s to interactive experiences with video and real-time response as of late

There is hope that in the future there will be less bad video games based off of licenses as the development cycles can shorten, but keep in mind that better technology still leads to badly done websites--so they'll never go away, but we can all hope that it makes things better!

Reviews Of 5 Of My Favorite Playstation Games

These are 5 of my favorite games that you can play on Playstation. Each has loads of action, superb visuals, and interesting adventures.

The Grand Theft Auto Series follows the adventures of the volatile Toni Capriani. Capriani, part of the criminal Leone family, is back in Liberty City to perform assorted jobs for his criminal bosses.

The level of detail in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is amazing. The tasks you will be asked to perform are quite varied. This game will provide you with hours of entertainment on your Playstation. I give it a full 5 star rating.

2. Killzone: Liberation
Killzone:Liberation is the sequel to the original Killzone. Once again, you get to play the part of Templar. As a member of the ISA good guys, you will combat the evil Helghast of the planet Velga.

This time around the Helghast have captured and taken hostage several members of the ISA. It falls to you to rescue these party members on a series of daring missions deep in enemy territory. Along the way you can inflict all sorts of mayhem on the enemy Helghast and their bases.

The Medal of Honor series is set in World War II. In Medal of Honor: Heroes you get to play the roles of three different heroes. Each hero has five different missions to accomplish. You can accomplish each brief mission in less than a half hour and move on to the next task.

The fight against the Nazis takes place in realistic villages and battlefields. The developers kept these missions direct and uncomplicated. Medal of Honor: Heroes is a great game to play when your time is limited. I give it four and a half out of five stars.

4. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
Do you want to be a super hero? Here is your chance. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance allows you to assume the identity and powers or several different super heroes. You can become Captain America, Spiderman, or The Thing.

There are twenty-three characters you can play in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance . Each character has his or her own special powers. This game has enough variety to keep you amused for many hours. I give this game four and a half stars.

5. Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception
I may have saved the best for last. Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception is a thrilling game that lets you engage in realistic air combat. When you are on an attack mission from inside the cockpit, you will find the graphics second to none.

You will be able to choose from a variety of real and fantasy aircraft. You can engage in dogfights high over an enemy fortress. Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception is a fascinating game that deserves the highest five star rating.
