If you're a gaming nut like me then you have probably spent hours and hours playing games like Call of Duty 4 switching up your strategy, training like a prize fighter getting ready for Call of Duty 5 World at War. I love video games! If you're a true hardcore gamer you tough it out for the most boring parts of the games so you can get to the good stuff like bonus levels and cheats. There have been times when I've literally fallen asleep next to my PSP or Xbox. I live for that stuff.
The way I'm able to switch up my strategy and playing style in just about any video game got me thinking that I would be really good at testing games. I started looking around to see how I could become a game video game tester. Finding good information isn't easy, so I thought I would share some advice that helped me break into the industry.
First off, you won't get rich testing video games. If you hear something different it's simply not true. To tell you the truth it can be a really tedious job. Imagine sitting in front of a screen for 6 hours straight playing the same scene over and over again. This type of situation isn't uncommon and I hope it helps you understand that this job isn't all glamourous. You should really look for another type of work if you think it's gonna be easy "playing" games. In fact, I would ditch the word "play" and think of it as "testing".
There is some fun and games to it though. The best part is I get to play unreleased games, which is a big reason I decided to get into it. Another reason is that I'm a student and don't have a college degree. In fact, most game testing gigs don't have any college requirements. A big bonus for me.
Probably one of the best ways to get into it is to sign up with a company like Artisan Game Testers. They basically do all the heavy lifting for you by finding you jobs and knocking out some of the grunt work you don't want to do anyways. The membership costs somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 some bucks, which is a drop in the bucket considering how much time it will save you.
Once you get the membership you're on the lowest rung of the ladder, which means you have to take some of the lowest paying jobs. That was fine with me when I first got started because I knew this it was only temporary and it was a business that I wanted to jump into. They take you through some of the basics you'll need to know like how to make Known for the company if you are persistent and you should have trouble scoring more than work that does not pay the money and use it as a plan to open a career opportunity.
Game Maker Test - the test set. Bleep Bloop: Pinball Tube. Duration : 2.92 Mins.Baby showers are a great way to show your expectant friend or family member how excited you are about their new arrival.
Unfortunately, these parties can sometimes get a little expensive! However, you can stay within your baby shower budget by trying some of these free baby shower games.
These unique baby shower games cost little or no money and are lots of fun! One game that is always popular and inexpensive is the clothes pin game. This game is played during the entire baby shower. As each guest arrives, they receive a clothes pin that they must clip to some part of their outfit. Once everyone arrives, the hostess explains the rules of the game. No one may cross their legs during the shower. If they do and someone catches them, the person who crossed their legs must give their clothes pin to the person who caught them. At the end of the shower, the guest with the most clothes pins wins and receives a small gift. There are many variations to this game. Instead of clothes pins, you can use safety pins or buttons. Also, crossing legs can be replaced with not being able to say the word "baby" or even the expectant mother's name. The possibilities are endless!
Another unique baby shower game idea is the "Guess that Baby" game. This game is basically free except for the cost of the prize. In the baby shower invitation, ask each guest to bring a baby photo of themselves. When each guest arrives, tape each baby picture to a piece of cardboard, poster board, or other sturdy paper. Each picture needs to be numbered. Pass paper and pens out to each guest. Then, ask the baby shower guests to match each baby picture with the appropriate person. Give them about ten to fifteen minutes to complete the task. Whoever matches the most pictures correctly wins. This truly is a great icebreaker game! If you do not want to ask your guests to bring baby pictures, another variation to this game is to find baby pictures of celebrities online and see if they can match the picture to the celebrity. Either way, the guests are sure to be laughing by the end of this baby shower game!
"The Toilet Paper Game" is a new baby shower game that will definitely be fun for everyone. The basic premise of this game is to get a roll of toilet paper and pass it around to each guest. Do not tell the baby shower guests what the toilet paper will be used for. As it is passed around, have each guest tear off a piece. They can choose how much toilet paper they wish to tear off. After each guest has their piece of toilet paper, ash the expectant mother to stand up. Each guest then takes turns trying to wrap their piece of toilet paper around the expectant mother's belly! This is always a lot of fun because some people have only one or two sheets! Whoever gets closest to her actual girth wins. Of course, toilet paper is not the only item that could be used for this free baby shower game. String, blue or pink ribbon, and rope can all be substituted.
You really don't have to spend a lot of money on baby shower games to have a great party. In fact, these free baby shower games are just as entertaining as their more expensive counterparts. The next time you are planning a baby shower, remember that unique baby shower games don't have to break the bank!

Do you too share a passion to excel in the virtual world of video games? Would you like to create your own video game? There is plenty of help at hand online to help video game players of all ages to experiment with creating a game of their own.
Basics to Create Your Own Video Game
If you ask a group of game players what is the single most important thing in a successful game they will all probably find it difficult to agree on any single factor. While some believe that it is the story line that makes a video game special others feel it is the manner in which the gameplay is designed, while still others focus on the special effects that have been included in the game.
To create your own video game it is a good idea to first decide what you find most interesting in your favorite video games and start from there. Most game players are clear about what they think a video game lacks and your video game gives you an opportunity to create what you think is a complete video game.
Once you have a great story line and characters in mind you would need to decide on the look and feel of the world in which your video game is set. Remember the more life like the virtual world the more absorbed the players become in it.
For inspiration and guidance for the style of storytelling you will find several resources online that can help you refine your narrative technique. Next you need to create the graphics for the video game and this can be done fairly easily using the varied software available for this very purpose. Most of these are free to download online and you should consider a few of them before you make up your mind.
If you don't want to sketch out characters and textures for scenes you can use the pre-made ones that can be downloaded free of cost from the internet. Two dimensional graphics are needed to create a 3 D affect and the background scenery should also match the look and feel of the video game. Depending on your level of understanding of software you need to select one that best suits your project.

Create your own video game. X-Men Evolution: Season 4, Episode 9 Video Clips. Duration : 21.42 Mins.If you're a gamer and wish to become a paid game tester, then you're in luck, as the video game tester requirements are quite lax these days; hence, nearly anyone can get a job testing video games for pay.
Here are the most basic video game tester requirements....
Must be at least 18 years old. This requirement can be bent depending on the gaming company hiring you. Although they are typically few and far between, there are in fact companies out there hiring gamers whom are below the age of 18.
Must be an avid gamer with plenty of experience. In this day and age, who isn't a gamer? A couple of weeks with Halo, Final Fantasy, Oblivion, and/or any other highly popular games and any person can call themselves an "avid" gamer.
Must be upgraded to next-gen. If you're not playing next-gen video games nor own a next-gen system (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii), then you're WAY behind when it comes to video game testing jobs. Since many developers have "at-home" testing opportunities, it is vital that you get up to speed and into the next-gen race. (If you don't have a next-gen system, you need a high-end computer)
Must have high-end computer. If you're more of PC gamer, then having a powerful computer is of crucial importance. A powerful PC means you will be able to put any of the developer's games to the test without worrying about your own hardware problems. (If you don't have a high-end computer, you need a next-gen system)
Must have a video game tester resume. It doesn't matter how long you've been testing (or trying to test) games, you simply must have a professional looking resume. Professional game testing is a job, so you can't expect to get by with just a smile and a "can I test games for you?" mentality. Remember, your resume doesn't have to be breath taking -- it just has to be professional and well put together.
The above video game tester requirements are really all you need to get started. In fact, some of those requirements might be null & void when it comes to certain developers. That being said, don't be afraid to submit your application/resume just because you don't meet a certain requirement -- you never know what exceptions a gaming company is willing to make!
Peak Performance. It means being at the top of your game, feeling supremely confident, feeling like everything you do is effortless and acheives its goal, feeling resilient and detached from the outcome, being in the flow, being in the zone, feeling relaxed, feeling happy and joyful, having a sense of clarity and certainty about everything that you do, feeling a sense of fullness in your life, indeed feeling fulfilled.
How much of your time do you spend in this state? Probably not as much as you would like. In informal surveys I have conducted over the last several years I have found that only 10 percent of people I interviewed experienced this state about 30 percent of the time. The rest, on average could only claim to having had this experience less than 10 percent of the time on average. With these figures it becomes clear that most of us are missing out on tapping into our full potential.
How much of the time would you like to be experiencing this state of peak performance? Well if you're like me you'll probably say 100 percent of the time. Now I know that some might say that that would be boring or that it would take away some meaning to life. Those individuals likely think that there is pleasure to be had in working hard and trying to achieve this state. For those individuals I ask them to reflect on the hard work and notice how much joy they feel they are actually experiencing while they are doing it.
Indeed there are many negative beliefs and emotions that we hold onto that actually "block" us from being in this state of peak performance "all of the time". Here are some of them: a) Its not possible, b) It would take the meaning out of life, c) The fear of success, d) The fear of failure, e) The need to succeed, f) I don't deserve it, g) The need to win, h) This reality doesn't work that way, i) It takes a lot of effort, and so on. Now I know that some of these may surprize you. For instance many of you may "think" that the "need to win", if anything, should be helpful rather than detrimental. I would like to show how indeed this is not the case.
Let's say you are on the golf course and you find yourself among a group of very experienced golfers. Suppose also that you are feeling a need to really prove yourself i.e. you are caught up by the "need to win". What are you likely to notice happening inside you? Well with the need to win comes a definite emotional attachment to the outcome of the game. This means that your emotional state has just become "dependent" on the outcome of the game. Another way of saying this is that your mood state, and ultimately your performance, is now going to fluctuate throughout the game based on whether you feel you are doing well or not.
Hence when one of your opponents makes a good shot you are likely to feel somewhat anxious. What impact is this going to have on your ability to focus on your game. Well, I think it's obvious that when you are distracted by such anxiety you find yourself making more mistakes. Now because your mood state is dependent on the outcome of the game, making mistakes is only going to cause you more anxiety. You run the risk of plummeting into a vortex of negative emotions and multiple bogeys.
So so you see, the "need to win" can become one of your worst enemies. So how does one address this and other problems that block us from achieving our full potential and therefore our peak performance. The negative beliefs and emotions I mentioned earlier that block your performance are not only detrimental, they are totally unnecessary! In other words it is possible to eliminate them, yes, eliminate them completely and forever.
Can you imagine what this even feels like? If you would like to know more you can visit the web site listed below.

It's a closely guarded secret, but widely available if you know where to look. Blizzard Entertainment's hugely popular multiplayer game World of Warcraft requires a monthly subscription of $14.95 USD. However, many of the eight million players cannot justify the monthly subscript costs so this sparks a revolt of sorts - to find a solution to playing warcraft for free.
Sound familiar, possibly like hacking Windows XP, or Windows Vista? It is the same basic principle. "Everyone wants if free", and "Everyone does not want to pay for it" The harder you try to force the public to pay, the harder the public resists and finds an alternative. Only, in this case, the alternative is legal.
In this quest, the ever growing popularity of the game has spawned what are called Warcraft emulation servers. Essentially, these are private servers offered for free to anyone wishing to play. The code behind these emulation servers is completely written using open source software that is publicly available. This then avoids any legal ramifications from reverse engineering software, which is protected by US law.
The caveat to a free public Warcraft emulation server is that you cannot use your character on the official Warcraft servers. There are hundreds of these servers and thousands of players, so there is no real reason to need the actual Blizzard servers. What's more, the community on any given server is a lot closer knit, and friendlier. Unlike Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft servers.
Gearing up to Play Warcraft
To find a server, use your favorite search engine and look for "warcraft emulation", or "world of warcraft private server"
To use a private server;
1) Download the World of Warcraft client, which is available pretty well anywhere, or download it directly from Blizzard Entertainment.
2) Install the client, all the appropriate updates
3) Find a private server and copy it's address down
4) Edit the 'realms list' file, Located in C:Program FilesWorld of Warcraft realmlist.wtf. Enter the address of the private server you saved earlier
This will have you playing on a private server in no time. It is also a good suggestion to keep a couple of private servers address, in the event a particular server is busy.

Duckpin bowling is a game that looks like bowling designed for an elf. The ball fits right in the palm of your hand, and the squat little pins look like little miniatures of their original, full-sized equivalents. The duckpin bowling game itself is very similar to ten-pin style bowling, just on a smaller scale.
There are some minor differences between a game of regular bowling and a duckpin bowling game, however. The major difference is that when playing in a duckpin bowling game, each bowler is allowed three chances to hit all of the pins instead of just two. If you hit all the pins on the first throw, you get a strike, and if you hit them all down on the second or third throw, the you get a 'mark' (essentially the duckpin bowling game equivalent to a spare). Marks and spare's are tallied similarly.
A regulation ball for the duckpin bowling game can only weigh as much as 3 pounds and 12 ounces, and typically fits right inside the palm of your hand.
