Reply #53: I tested video games

[noshenanigans]

I spent a few years after college working at a couple of really big game companies (the biggest game I worked on was Medal of Honor: Rising Sun). It was cool- they gave me a build of the game, I played through it and told them what needed fizing. On MOH I spefically did Multiplayer stuff, so I got to sit around and play with three guys a lot.

At a different company I did standards stuff- specifically for Sony, but I did some X-Box stuff too. I was given every game we made before it was submitted to the company to make sure it follows all the rules it needs to (memory card function, what buttons can do, what messages can say- that sort of thing.)

I loved it, only left because I was in a really bad car accident and couldn't work for a while. I was interviewed for an Assitant Design thing at a different company, so I'm hoping maybe that will pan out since I can walk again now.

And hey, since I was pretty much the only girl working on the games I got the extra joy of being followed around by geeks all day :)
