Hey, Brian here. If you’re at this site then you’re probably interested in video games, and, more importantly, getting paid to play video games. I know I was back when I started, and I came across a site that really helped me, which you can check out now if you want: Game Tester Guide Make [...]
Hey, my name's Brian Matthews and I get paid to play video games!
As for who I am (I know you're curious!) I'm just your average Joe that's been obsessed with games since he was about 4. I heard you could get a job in the video game field as a tester even right out of high school, but no one was exactly pointing the way for me.
So I took a stab at some of the programs online and found a great one called Game Tester Guide. Now I spend my days chilling and playing video games.
Well, not just chilling and playing video games, I also attend DeVry University where I'm working on my degree in Game and Simulation Programming.
Thought I'd share my experience both as a tester and as a genuine video game fanatic, since so many people wonder if you can really get paid to play games.
