You would imagine that being employed as a games tester is a pretty sweet existence. Sitting around, playing unreleased triple-A games all day long, only occasionally stopping to eat some Cheetos. And then, after your day is over, going home to play some more games. Now obviously I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this simply isn't the case. In fact, the life of a games tester is actually pretty appalling. I mean, not like 'Victorian child factory-labourer' bad, but still kind of dismal.
