Damn, i would love to playtest Sly 3. Ah well.

 

[WordAssassin]

Wow, sit and play a video game for 20 hours over four days and get paid to do so? That has to be THE easiest $220 to make, EVER. I'll go ahead and assume the "Bay Area" you're referring to is San Fransisco...I live in Berkeley...should I go for it, guys?

Not to mention you only have to be 8 to do it. Can you imagine being 8 years old again and getting to play video games for money? Man, those kids..no point in moving on after that. That's the best day of their life.

the last testing i went to, i heard some father forced his kid to go to the playtest and skip school while doing it. probably cashed the money for himself too :lol

Foster City? From Berkeley you can get there by going on 880 south and then 92 across the San Mateo Bridge. I live pretty much around the corner from SCEA (which is on Hillsdale Blvd) but I'm too old for this.
