I applied as a tester... never heard back. I only have the minimum requirements though.

I want to apply for Food Tester. Y'know, make sure nothing's poisoned, everything is cooked right, how we can incorporate food properly into the story and gameplay of Destiny, etc. That kind of stuffs.

I want to apply to be Urk's parrot. I might not be able to sit on his shoulder, but I can hover ominously.

I can also whisper suggestions, if he'd like, as if I were his good conscious. He'd have to find someone else to be his bad conscious on the other shoulder. I suggest Schooly D, he's got some great ideas. I'd like to see where that would end up. I mean, no, Urk, don't do that. Don't listen to Schooly D.

Nonsense. I heard Urk's shoulders can bear the weight of two average Japanese sumo wrestlers. Get up on there, tiger!

I had a dream the other night that I visited Bungie. I think in my dream I was still a kid and it was some kind of class field trip. Urk had an office off to one side of the main room you see in the vidocs. I and the other kids got to hang out in his office. I don't remember what we saw or what was said. All I can remember is that I observed that Urk was losing his hair and had a pointy head. I have no idea why I dreamed that.

Urk does have a pointy head.

Can I be the tall skinny guy who wanders around with his hands in his pockets, and nobody knows exactly what he does but is too polite to ask? I have three years experience!

He's now my sub-nemesis. Right behind Bob Saget. Steven Seagal is safe once again... for now.

Sign over Bungie's door: no Jasons!

I'd be pretty surprised if they could find someone better suited for the role.

The best to you RC. Presuming they say come in for an interview, I hear that the process Bungie uses is pretty tough and prolonged (12 Hour interview). I would imagine it wouldn’t be that bad if you both know what you are doing and obsessively love what you do.

That said, as a tester you will learn to love - than hate - then be indifferent (slightly) of whatever game you test.
But of course – you knew that much. ^ _ ^

...knowing RC, I expect he'll be through that interview in 3 hours tops. On Mythic. We'll need a saved film to verify, of course. ;)

Does Bungie let interviewees use glitches? *NM*

Good luck. Several grizzled ancients started out as testers, you know.

Our studio president came up through test. And now look at him, arms majestically dangling at his side. Bracketed by not one, but three mute and nearly immobile minions.

Wouldn't you have to move to the states?

Do testers get H-1B Visas?

Some of us are willing to do that ;)
