If you want to drive all the way to Irvine, Interplay is always looking for testers.

Capcom and Konami don't have any US based development HQ's IIRC and they are very selective about testing.

Other companies in LA are ones like Ripcord, EA (I think), and Luxoflux (makers of True Crime: Streets of LA) 🙂

hmm Irvine? Can you get me a job as a tester there? 🙂

 

[gtsukada]

don't forget blizzard, i know a bunch of people who work there

 

[PCMarine]

$10 an hour just to play games...sounds grea... oh way, what's that? a company that makes children's games...

That would drive me crazy in about an hour.

Is there something wrong with doing your own legwork? This was two clicks from the main interplay page.

Cool, I am starting with EIDOS July 8th

 

[notfred]

How is that a "computer internship"? Isn't that like saying that playing kids games is a computer related business field?I thought you were going to be programming or designing networks or something.

oh I thought you worked there and would be able to pass resume's to a manager or something 😉 not that you'd do something like that for a complete stranger or anything though.

that's cool I guess. I skipped over interships and went right into Helpdesk when I was 15. Nice to start early.

 

[NutBucket]

Heh, I think Interplay is about 10 minutes away from me. I'm on their list for focus group stuff but I hardly game anymore so they don't call very often. I always get asked about Star Trek stuff:disgust:
